the
I The copious rains during the first
! part of this month have been of great
I benefit to all kinds of farm products,
I including fruits. 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.

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

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.

Prospect (1907 to 1908.)
Little Butte creek near Eagle
Point (1907 to 1908).

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

above the Junction with the South

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

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.
