But Dams and Canals Are Costly—Re ports of Wasted Water in Irrigat es Districts Reach the 8ureau. / The United States census bureau has given out the fullowing prelim inary statement concern.ng irriga- tion in the state of Oregou in 1902 o The statistics are for the different sources of water supply in the prin cipal drainage basins: The state of Oregon is divided longitudinally by the Cascade moun tain range into two parts, very un equal in area and vastly different in soil, surface and climate. These snow-capped mountains. 115 miles inland and parallel to the coast, are a continuation of the Sierra Nevada range, and have an altitude ot 6.00t feet or more. While the crest is generally quite regttlar; there are several prominent ¡teaks of volcanic formation, the highest of which is Mount Hood towering 11.225 feet above the ocean Between the Cascade range and tht sea is a lower chain known as the Coast range. Western Oregon constitutes lesi than one-third of the state, and its surface for the most part is rough and broken. Owing to the mountaii barrier, there is abundant rainfa! on the west and comparatively littl« on the east. With few exceptions irrigation is unnecessary west of the Cascade mountains, and. where re sorted to. is for the purpose of in creasing the yield. In portions of the Willamette val ley. although the rainfall is usually abundant the artificial application of water is practiced to some ex tent in truck gardening and fruit growing. especially during the dry seasons. In the southern part the mountair crest is relatively low. Here pre cipitation is less, and farming by ir rigation is more extensively follow ed. Eastern Oregon ig a great inland plateau. 2.000 to 5.000 feet high. In the nortneast are the Blue moun tains. 7.000 feet or more in altitude with two large spurs extending, one westward and the other eastward and known, respectively, as the Western Spur and Powder River mountains. To tue soutn. extending to the state boundary are Steins mountains, while several low range trend westward from the Blue moun tains to the Cascade range. Thus the plateau is divided intc three sections; a northern, drained to the Columbia; an eastern, to the Snake; and a mid-southern, the east ern portion of which is independent while the western is drained tc Klamath river. The annual average rainfall varies from 6.3 inches in the mid-southern part to 12.7 inches in the eastert and northern sections, One peculi arity about the rainfall for the en tire state is that three-fourths of 1; occurs during tae period from Octo ber to Mirch. The soil of the plateau consist» and largely of disintegrated lava, where there is sufficient moisture native grasses are found and graz ing is a nimportant industry. In the valleys the soil is a rich, alluvial deposit, and under irrigation pro duces large crops. The larger streams are generally perennial, bui many of the smaller tributaries are dry during the summer months. Taking the state as a whole, irri gation conditions in 1902 were above the average, ihe increase in num ber of acres irrigated, though not large, shows considerable progress Several systems have been installed since 1899; quite a number were used for the first time in 1902, ana reports indicate that others, costing many thousands of dollars, were un der construction or being planned for 1903. In many sections the run-off is suf ficient to water many times the pres ent irrigated area. By the first of June or July most of the water in the smaller and higher tributaries has passed and any marked increase in irrigation in the future must come largely through conservation of the earl> spring floods. excellent reservoir sites Many have been reported, but most of these will require the expenditure of large sums for I uilding the neces- head-gates, etc., and sary dams, must either be undertaken by the government or by corporations with large capital. A few may be con structed by individual farmers form ing cooperative associations. In many instances the irrigators complain of the great waste of wa ter, through lack of suitable laws governing its appropriation and use. Better methods of management and a more economical use of the ordi nary water supply will doubtless greatly increase the number of acres that may be brought under irriga tion. True Story of “Joe Monaghan.’* J. ____ Palmer of Jordan Valley Fred _. has received a letter from Mrs. Wal ters of Buffalo, N. Y-, relating to the life of “Joe” Monaghan, in which she says that "Joe s” real name was Johanna Monaghan She was born in Buffalo Her mother always dress ed her in boy's clothes and let her earn her own living by running e- rands and selling newspapers on the Mrs. Walters, knowing that “Joe” was masquerading as a boy and with the consent of her mother, gave "Joe” a home and sent her to school. She left home for the West in 1869, later settling in California, and __ _ ____ City, _ went , to Silver Idaho. where she appeared as a witty Irish lad. Her mother died at Buffalo in 1870.

The »igtail, which had evidently been orn from the bead of some unfortu- .ate Mongol that was drowned .n he flood, was in a good state of »reservation.
