The United States constis bureau has given out tho following prelim inary statement concern. ng Irriga tion In the state of Oregon In 1902. The statistics are for the different sources of water supply In the prin cipal drainage basins: Tho stato of Oregon Is divided longitudinally by the Cascade moun tain range into two parts, very un equal In area and vnstly different in soil, surface and climate. These snow-capped mountains, 115 miles Inland and parallel to the coast, are a continuation of tho Sierra Nevada range, and have an altitude of G,000 feet or more. While tho crest Is generally quite regular, there aro several prominent peaks of volcanic formation, the highest of which is Mount Hood, towering 11,225 feet nbove tho ocean. Between the Cascade range and the sea Is a lower chain known as tho Coast range. Western Oregon constitutes less than ono-thlrd of the state, and its surface for the most part Is rough and broken. Owing to the mountain barrier, there is abundant rainfall on the west and comparatively little on the east. With few exceptions, Irrigation Is unnecessary west of the Cascade mountains, and, where re sorted to, is for tho purpose of In creasing tho yield. In portions of tho 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 mountain crest is relatively low. Here pre cipitation is less, nnd farming by ir rigation is more extensively follow ed. Eastern Oregon is a great inland plateau, 2,000 to 5,000 feet high. In the northeast are tho Blue moun tains, 7,000 feet or moro In altitude, with two large spurs extending, one westward and the other eastward, and known, respectively, as tho Western Spur and Powder River mountains. To ti.e soutn, extending to the state boundary aro Steins mountains, while several low ranges trend westward from the Blue moun' tains to the Cascade range. Thus the plateau Is divided Into 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 to Klamath river. Tho annual average rainfall varies from C.3 Inches In the mid-southern part to 12.7 Inches In the eastern and northern sections. Ono peculi arity about the rainfall for the en th stato Is that three-fourths of It occurs during uio period from Octo her to March. The soil of the plateau consists largely of disintegrated lava, and where there Is sufficient moisture native grasses are found and graz ing Is a nlmportant industry. In the valleys the soil is a rich, alluvial deposit, and under irrigation pro duces largo crops. The larger streams are generally perennial, but many of the smaller tributaries are dry during the summer months. Taking tho state as a whole, Irri gation conditions in 1002 were above tho average. The Increase In nurai her of acres Irrigated, though not large, shows considerable progress. Several systems have been Installed since 1899; quite a number were used for tho first time In 1902, and reports Indicate that others, costing miMiy thousands of dollars, were un der construction or being planned for 1903. In many sections tho run-off is suf ficient to water many times tho 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 como largely through conservation of the early spring floods. Many excellent reservoir sites have been reported, but most of these will require the expenditure of larxe sums for building the neces sary dams, head-gates, etc., and must either bo1 undertaken by the government or by corporations with large capital, A few may bo con structed by Individual farmers form Inc co-operative associations. In many Instances the irrigators complain of the great waste of wa tcr, through lack of suitable laws governing its appropriation and use, Better methods of management aim a more economical use of the ordl nary water supply will doubtless greatly Increase the number of acres that may be brought under irrlga tion. morrow's gathering will name candi dates for the stntc offices to bo filled at the next election.
