Director of the Geological
Survey Would Have Co
operative Plans Adopted
WASHINGTON", 8pt. 28, Director
Oiorgo Otis Sin it ti of the United Suites
Geological survey has invited officers
of the leading rail roads of the country
tw u eooferi'uce on a cooperative plan
by which it is expected that the rail
roads will able to save thousands of
dollars a year. The plau also contem
plates most effective assistance to the
government on the part of the railroads.
The time and placo of the proposed con
, ference is to bo agreed upon later.
. The. scheme, which has already been
approved by n number of engineers of
the big Hues, is one for the gathering of j
facts as to the amount of water flowing ,
in the rivers of the country under cer
tain conditions and in different jwriods i
of the year. Naturally, the railroad:
have been chief sufferers from floods
in the basins where their tracks lie.
The' have suffered not only from dam
age to their own property but they have
been sued by ot her corpora t ions a nd
private ett izens on the grounds that
their bridges and culverts were the
causes of flood damages. The railroad
authorities have ftlt that many judg
meuts against the roads might not have
been rendered if they had been able to
produce authentic figures ou floods.
But they have not been able to do this.
The National Conservation commission
has been advised of the proposed plan
and whatever results come from it will
undoubtedly be considered by the com
mission at its joint meeting with the
governors of the states, or their rep
resentatives, here in next December.
Gages on Bridges
The survey suggest that railroad coin
patriot! establish gages on their bridges
and culverts and appoint some of their
employees to take daily readings. The
survey agrees to have its experts make
frequent visits to these stations and
take actual current meter measurements
so that a rating table of each channel
will he available..
For many years the survey has been
studying the difference in the flow of
rivers in various basins in the country.
At present it is engaged in putting the
ill format! on gained by its study into
shape for the use of the National Con
sorvation commission, tog-? her with oth
er information which it is gathering
especially for the inventory of the
country's natural resources that the
commission is preparing.
The survey has been able to extend
its observations to many regions were
the information would be of vital im
portance because it lacks funds. The
cooperation of the railroads would jmt !
mit the survey to cover many other ,
regions. ' i
Trifling Expense
The expense to the railroads under
this arrangement would be trifling, I he
survey authorities say, because the
roads could designnte men already on
their pay rolls, such as draw tenders,
tank men, or water station engineers
to tako the daily readings. On the nth
or hand, if the survey could be relieved
of the cost of daily supervision of the
gages, it would be able to eury on the
more technical parts of the undertak
ing". The information which the railroads,
will obtain if this plan is carried out
is of immense value to them. The sur
vey 's figures on floods have always
been accepted by the courts as prima
facie eveidence. If the belief of the
railroad authorities is well-founded,
their cooperation wiih the survey en
ahling it to extend its operations to
their fields will result in big savings
to them.
The idea as to cooperation as to the
floods originated with the engineering
departments of the railroads themselves.
Representatives of these departments of
ft number of roads held a conference
with representatives of the survey, in
Chicago last June, and at that time the
Utirvey agreed to interview the proper
railroad authorities concerning a bais
of cooperation.

From Crater lake thev will go to

A Scrap of History.
Tin- historv of the Oalice country
I goes back to Mil when John Oalice dis
covered gold in that section. For a
time he kept the knowledge of the dis
covery a secret, but having occasion to
visit Jackson, it was mispieimied, while
he was there, that he had made a rich
find and some parties followed him
back to his diggings, and then the story
was out and soon after the country
swarmed with miners.
In ISoL the ferry was established and
for a number of years it did a big busi
ness. In the Rogue River Indians
a eiit on the warpath and attacked the
.i,n ers at (ialice. Forty-four men and
a Kogue River squaw took refuge in a
blockhouse which was located at that
:inif mar the old store at fJalice. The
whites successfully stood off the sav
:.ies. though they had only nine fire
: nus in the whole party. Among the
blockhouse defenders was Tndiaa Joe,
who was Hie husband of the squaw
1:1 ntioned. This Indian ran the ferry
for many years and in the summer of
iMs:; u-ns killed in a duel with his son-in-law,
Albert Peco. Hoth men fired nt
the same instant and both were in
stantly killed. After the death of Tn-
lian Joe his daughter, the wife of Peeo-
ji nd a young stsrer ran inr i i
bruary. 1M'. there was a flood which
ik the ferry boat down stream. The
women never attempted rn pur in an
other boat. Of the men who defended
the blockhouse. James Xeely of Jump
..ff- Joe is the only survivor, who lives
in the country. The historic ferry fell
into the hands of white mpii after the
i;MfurlmieB of the Indian women. At
the present time it is operated by W.
A. Massie and sons, who also run the
-(ago line from Merlin to Ojiliee. Onlino
is still a great mining center ami every
month pours its harvest of goht into
i le market.
