CROSBY J WATER RESOURSES OF NORTHWEST COUNTRY Comprehensive Study Made by the United States Geological Survey The Geological Survey has re cently issued a valuable publica tion concerning the surface water resources of the northwestern por tion of the United States, the greater part of which is occupied by the basin of the Columbia Riv er. This river has a drainage area of 259,000 square miles. Its source is in British Columbia and its basin occupies enormous areas in that province and in Montana, yyoming, Idaho, Washington, Or egon and Nevada. The region is one of greatest interest and valuo. Few river basins in the country are so diverse. It contains some of the highest peaks in America and some of the most fertile val leys in the world. Some idea of the resources of the basin may be had from the statement that the navigable waters of the Columbia 'and its tributaries ag gregate a length of 2,136 miles. Within the area drained are the largest forests in the world. The climate exhibits all the variations from the rigor of the northern latitude to the mildness of west ern Oregon and Washington. Agri culturally the area ranges from the extremely arid region, where irrigation is essential, through the semiarid country, where dry farming and irrigation are prac ticed side by side, to the humid country, which, strictly speaking, is arid during the summer. The values of the irrigated agricult ural land range from about $30 an acre for the poorest to $3000 an acre for the intensely cultivated orchards. Within the Columbia River drainage basin at least one-third of the available water in the United States, but devel opment of this resource has scarcely begun. The study of the water resourc es of this great region as car ried on by the United States Geo logical survey becomes therefore a matter of importance and inter est. Water-Supply Paper 272, of the Survey, which has just been issued, contains a large amount of useful data resulting from the investigations of the streams of this area, including the records of flow of the numerous large triputaries as well as the main rivers. Among these tributaries are Clark Fork, which occupies large areas in Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia, and Snake River, which has its origin in the Yellowstone Park region of Wyoming, traverses long dis tances in the State of Oregon be fore it finally joins the parent stream. In addition to stream flow data concerning the Colum bia, the renort contains informa tion concerning the water re sources of the coastal streams, such as the Rogue, Umpqua, and Siletz, located in Oregon, and the Cedar, Skagit, and Cascade, which drain into Puget Sound. The stream-flow observations presented in this report con sists of records obtained at 207 stations. About one-half of the expense of the work is borne by the States of Oregon, Washing ton, Idaho and Montana, which, under the authority of laws en acted by the several legislatures, cooperate with the United States Photo by C.

I was brought up In luxury, but without father, mother, brother or sis ter.

I lived In the houso In which I wns born, my father having died beforo and my mother nt tho tlmo of my birth. I knew nothing about this, being tnken enro of by a Mrs. Perkins. One day 8ho brought into my playroom a girl about xny own ngo and told mo she had a little sister for me. At that ago I felt no great surprlso as to tho exist ence of a sister, though I remember asking some questions as to why I hnd nover seen her before. I would have preferred a brother, but was neverthe less delighted to bo relieved of my loneliness, and from that tlmo forwnrd my life wus very different from what it had been. Lucy wns my slater's name, nnd slnco wo wero kept from other children wo grew very much attached to each oth er. I was a fiery little fellow, while Lucy was of tho quiescent kind. She wns always soothing me. Thero wus a good deal of the boy in mo or I might have become effeminate, playing ns I did all tho while with a girl. I think I did not miss boy ussoclntes as much as I would bad I not become so much attached to Lucy. The reason why I was kept so close nt home was that my mother, knowing that she must leave me to tho care of others, had manifested to Mrs. Per kins, who wns to bring mo up, a fear that I would learn "bndness" from my nssoclates, which she, my mother, would not be with mo to counteract. Ilnd it not been for n strong masculliio nature in mo I would have been spoil ed as a result of this motherly timid ity. Mrs. Perkins engaged tutors for me and for Lucy as. well, and, being educated alone, when wo -were fifteen years old we knew ns llttlo about the world as when wo hud beeu Just brought together. It was at this4 time that Lucy and I began to discuss our situation. Why was it that we had no parents llko oth er children? Why had we never met till we wero about six years old? These and other similar questions came up for discussion, and we asked Mrs. Perkins for answers to them. But she evaded giving direct answers, and we wero no wiser than we were before. ah we couiu get out or her wus, "Vi hen you come of age you will know all about it" When I was In my sixteenth year 1 was sent to boarding Bchool, where I prepnred for college, Lucy being sent at the same time to a girls' seminary. I was dreadfully homesick for Lucy, and she wrote rao that she suffered the same for me. During my stny at school thero was no one to tell mo anything about myself more than I knew. Two years after that I went to college, and the period in which I was born over which seemed to hung a veil began to Interest me. I was old enough to make an investigation, but when Mrs. Per kins said I would know all about it when I was twenty-one I preferred to wait One thing espeecially deterred me, a dread lest I should find out some thing I would rather not know. While I was nt college Lucy discov ered what was being kept from us, but she did not tell me. I came home one vacation during my senior year at col lege and met her there, I threw my arms about her and kissed her, ns I bad been accustomed to do at our meet ings, and wus surprised to see n blush on her cheeks. I wondered at the time what it meant, but It soon pnssed out of my mind. However, from this time I noticed a great change In Lucy's treatment of me. She seemed constrained. I was telling her one day of a girl friend of .mine who I liked very much. Lucy looked serious. I persisted in sounding my friend's praises, and Lucy suddenly got up to leave tho room. I caught her and. pulling her down beside me, told her that she need not fear for my deserting her for a sweetheart or a wife, for I would never marry and did not see how I could bear to have her marry. This seemed to satisfy her, and she smiled at me through her tears. 1 was twenty-one years old a month after being graduated from college. A lawyer had notified me thnt he would call on me on my birthday, and he did so. Lucy and I were both at home. Tho lawyer said ho wished to see us together and told the secret. My past or most of it bus been told. Lucy's was as follows: Uer father died when sho was two years old and her mother when she wus three. Our mothers wero sisters enjoying an undivided fortune. They hud arranged that we should be lirought up together and for each oth er. The fact or our being kept in Ig norance thnt we were cousins was that in the beginning of our intimacy .Mrs. Perkins had told me she hud n little sister for me. She thought nothing of It at the time, but put off telling us the truth till we had grown to tin age ut which she did not like to disabuse our minds. Resides tills, she thought the plan of our mothers to unite iih when we came of uge would be best served by our being kept in lgnoranco of the truth. Tho will of my mother and of Lucy'H mother expressed a wish that we Bhould marry. And wo did.
