These timely show I ers and steady rains have been worth many thousands of dollars to the i Rogue River valley and really a great blessing to the people generally. i jhoro is nothing that brings more I general rejoicing than the rain which I falls when it Is needed and this was j such a case and It can be said that both city and country rejoiced alike. I The value of seasonable rains can I hardly be over estimated. It brings I prosperity to the farmer, the fruit grower, and in consequence as these I are prosperous, so it follows that the I business man Joins In the better con I dltlons which prevail. After all, the ) prosperity of one, as a rule, brings I about the prosperity of another and I generally whole communities get a I share In the blessings. No man, It Is I said, can successfully live to himself j alone, and so when general prosperity coms the conditions are far reaching and as a consequence whole commun ities have cause to rejoice. In view of the difficulties which Vi n im nvApta lr nn 1 ril rra Inn t Vl la if t.melv rains have been of great serv-j others draining the Cascade mou n-in- nnA n mn.MirshiP PvtPnt have I tains, afford wonderful possibilities .taken the place of the water which " water power development At it wa, expected would bo supplied by i Present the only Important Plants are the Irrigation company.

All this means much in the way of for age, vegetables and fruit, mnklng the year 1910 long to be remembered for Its general prosperity. !

County Tres ROGUE RIVER AND ITS TRIBUTARIES (Continued from Page 1.) ,, Rpflrh is 86 Inches, at Grants Pass 33. at Ashland 27, on the headwaters of Illinois river 70. .. ; wr lake 100 inches. At the headwaters of the stream the greater part of the precipitation is rainfall during the wlnted months. As Is usual In regions where the pre cipitation Is sufficient for the pro duction of crops without irrigation, development along this line is Incon siderable. Fish Lake ditch, which diverts water from Little Butte creek, Is the largest in operation. A number of little ditches are used to Irrigate the narrow valley lands con tiguous to the smaller streams. In tnls manner Ashland, Wagner and Applegate creeks are largely appro priated for Irrigation. It is realized, however, that the agricultural re sources of this section of the country will not be utilized in the most econ omic manner until Irrigation Is prac ticed extensively. The valley lands In the vicinity of Medford along Bear creek are particularly adapted to fruit culture, and the Rogue River valley has become Justly famous for the excellent quality of Its apples, pears and other fruits raised there. The Btreams of this area, like Stream measurements in mis udsm were begun In August, 190;j. For the three and one-half years the highest run-off values are shown by the records for 1907. It Is probable that the lowest values would have been found In 1905 If records for that year had been complete. The following gauging stations nave been maintained In this river basin: Rogue river near Tolo (1905 to 1908). The data obtained at this station are not favorable for very good re sults. The height of the water Is . . . on ,,. manno. hv a I IX V. ITU i M oil 1 1 I v u lu 1 tnu w tv i v. j a dam a short distance below, and as this dam Is a temporary affair, made of brush, It Is washed away, either wholly or In part, with every rise In the creek, even during Irrigating seasons. For this reason It was ne cessary during 1907 and 1908 to de velop four rating curves, nnd to In terpolate a part of the records. North fork of Rogue river at Prospect (1907 to 1908.) Little Butte creek near Eagle Point (1907 to 1908). Bear creek at Talent (1907 and 1908). Applegate creek at Murphy (1907 and 1908). Rogue river near Galice (1907). North Fork of Itoguo River at Pros cct, Oregon. This station was established July 17, 1907, just above the Rogue River Electric company's dam, one- hnlf mile above Prospect, five miles above the Junction with the South Fork and at the head of Rogue River gorge. the run-off from forested areas tin der the climatic conditions which exist Iti the Southern portion of the Ciiscfu'c ran no. No equipment has yet been i n h i T -eii for mi'Miu' measuicmetiu iluiln: bk'.h water, and at low water the onlv point available Is In a very nar row canyon, where the water Is ex tremely turbulent nnd the velocities are most Invutilar. The uauire lo cated above the dam was road dailv from .Tub' 17 to October 10. 1 0 il 7 . and once or twice a week durlni; the first half of !!iK, but the dailv rat ings dut'lnc la0 were mail.' on an auxiliary gauge tit the observer's house. No estimate of flow are pos sible with data a' hand, but If Is hoped that a permanent rating curve can later be developed to which these records of gauge heights can he ap plied. Rogue River Near Tolo, Ore. This station was established Vu development and Its proposed use for Kay, the jt,. ,,f the Rogue River Electric company's power plant, 1 miles below Tolo, nnd Just below the mouMi of Rear creek. '.he dat.i obtained at this s'atlon have i' re.it value In connection with, the use of the river for water power development nnd Is proposed use for extensive Irrigation works, a number of large ditches being already unler construction. , 1 l The station la located below the tail race of the power plant, at wnicn j a dam about 20 feet high forms a large forebay. The flow at the sta tion Is, therefore, Irregular, depend ing upon the amount of water used through the turbines, me vrwLu, of the water at the gauging station Is quite swift, and the channel Is not stable. It has been Impossible to de- velop a permanent rating curve. The records, particularly those taken at low water, are not as accurate as could be desired. CHURCH SERVICES SUNDAY. Free Methodist. Rev.
