Irrigation projects, dredging nnd

opment along other Hues based upon
tho iiso of water from tho Iloguc,
Hint bnvo filled the peoplo or the up
per rlvor districts with Joy and hopo,
spoil another story for the rcnldonts
of Gold Deacb. Hero is ie way the
Gold Doach Reporter, undur the cap
tion 'Will tho Roguo Go Dry?' sums
up the situation:
" 'Old residents of this section will
remember the times In enrly dnys
when small trading schooners coinlni:
Into Roguo Rlvor could nnvlgnto to
Dagnell's iorry, four miles up Roguo
rlvor, with permanent channels and
good wnter in tbo lower river. Later
tlio lnrge nmount of plncer mining In
the Illinois rlvor nnd nlong uppo"
Rogue river plnced largo amounts or
gravel In tbo beds of llieco streams
which tho high wntor of each suc
ceeding winter kept working further
and further down tho stream until
when thio big flood of February, 1S90.
had subsided nothing of n portnnnont
channel was left In Rogue River from
tho Illinois down to tho mouth. Flats
and fnrms woro wnsbed cwny, the
rlvor, formerly confined In chnnnols.
spread from hillside to hillside, leav
ing bars of grnvol; oven Islands In
tbo lower rlvor woro washed nwny
lonvlng only fields of gravel, which
shifted more or less with changlnp
winter floods. All tho tailings of the
uppor mines camo down, and the
rlvor bed has boon filled, leaving only
gravel bars, small stretches of deep
wntor, nnd stoop riffles to confront
tbo navigators of today along tbo up
per river. This condition has been
especially apparent when tho low
wator or lato summor mado naviga
tion or tbo numerous riffles difficult.
Tlio houtmon of tho, .river havo art-
' Justed thomsolvcs to th'o clrcum-
stances iib well as possible, construct
ing boats especially suitable to ovor
co mo tho obstacles, and for years past
navigation by gnsollno boats ha?
boon stcndlly conducted for 40 miles
up, tbo mall to tho mouth of tho Illin
ois, 30 miles up, bolng regularly car
ried Hint way.
" 'Two Bummers ngo, bowovor, n
now difficulty confronted tho liontmen
In tbo Rumor time. Tito river sud
denly fell sovornl Inches, sometimes
nearly a foot, and would again swell,
only to no down again, keeping this
up each day. This was a puzzler for
a wlillo, but was soon traced to Its
Bourco irrigation system In the
Roguo Rlvor valley tnklng out the
wator. Last mmimer this condition
was especially notlceahlo, and the
mall Carrier had good occasions to
oral miles thin side of tho Illinois
and take tho mall through by other
means.
" 'This summer the conditions
promlso to bo oven more severe on
tho boatmen, owing to the fact that
Irrigation systems of largo size are
contemplated that will take most ot
the water from the Roguo River.'
"And then the fears of tho lower
river peoplo aro fexl upon tho stories
of tho plans of Irrigation and for
dredging nB recounted previously hi
tho columns of tbo Courier, nnd the
Roporter nightmare closes with the
following paragraph:
" 'The facts auger 111 for naviga
tion facilities on lower Rogue rlvor.
And as though tho menace wns not
sufficient from this source large
dredging operations nro carried on
at various points along the rlvor, put
tug more tailings in the stream, to
bo brought down by each successive
wlntor flood. Ono such enterprise
about to bo Inaugurated wo mention
ed In Inst week's Reporter, wherein
ono tract of 2S0 acres Is to ho torn
looso and washed down. Tho time hns
conio when sonio steps should be
taken to protect tho Industries of the
lower Roguo river section and the
numerous Bottlers nlong tbo rlvor who
dopond upon navigation of the river
for securing their supplies nnd mar
kotlug their products.'
"ir our frlonds at Gold Roach
would consult men or sclonco they
would no doubt be Informed that
sonio day tho Roguo might go dry.
Out tho date would ho so far In ad
