GOVERNMENT
INVESTIGATION
But it Isn’t the Usual Kind; Il’s
Regarding the Water Supply
of Rogue River Valley.
The United States Geological survey
has undertaken an investigation of the
water supply available for irrigation
end other purposes in Rogue River val­
ley. Extensive cultivation, coupled
with the judicious use of water in por­
tions of this valley where irrigation has
not heretofore been deemed necessary,
has given such excellent results as to
create and ever-increasing demand for
water.
This valley has an area almost as large
as the State of Delaware, a mean an­
nual temperate of 25 degrees and a
mean annual rainfall of 21 inches.
Peaches, pears grapes, and berries of
all kinds are grown in great abundance,
but the valley is especially noted for
the excellent quality, color and flavor of
its Yellow Newton and Spitzenburg ap­
ples, to the production of which the soil
and climate appear to be particularly fa­
vorable.
The upper end of the valley is drain­
ed by Bear Creek and its tributaries.
This stream is subject to heavy winter
floods, but becomes almost dry in sum­
mer, and the low water flow has been
practically all appropriated.
Any
scheme to increase the acreage under
irrigation must therefore involve the
construction of storage works or long,
high-line ditches from the streams of
the lower part of the valley, where
there is a greater summer, flow.
Regular guaging stations have been
established by the Survey for the pur­
pose of determining the daily flow as
the monthly and annual maximum,
minimum, and mean rates of flov. of
Bear Creek near Talent, on little Butte
Creek near Eagle Point, on Applegate
Creek near Grants Pass, and on North
Fork of Rogue River at Prospect. Oc­
casional measurements will also be
made on Big Butte, Elk, Evans, Ash­
land and Wagner creeks and a number
of smaller streams. The work is under
the general sw rvision of J. C. Stev­
ens, the distr t hyrographer for Ore­
gon.
