tcnslvo system of tiling, and tho sur
face is under cultivation.
Tho water running through the?o
tiles Is clear and pure, and no matter
how hard it rains or tho condition of
the surfnee of tho ground, this water
is always perfectly clqar. It is this
water which is conveyed to the ranch
buildings. Ono of the most striking
features of it all is tho simplicity of
the system and thu economy of its
maintenance. Hero is seen no ex
pensive machinery nor elaborate
pumping plant. Tho water Itself docs
tho work at a cost of a few cents per
year, for here, obscurely placed at
the bottom of a shaft, stands a hy
draulic ram, which thumps away year
in and year out, pumping Its never
ceasing supply of water to tho ranch
volley. They nro much more pro
nounced, however, in the southern
than in thu northern end of the vnl-
ley.
Geology Tho Rocks.
There are five source of material
for the Koiltt of the Rogue river val
ley. They are :
1. A series of hornblcndicr mica
cous, fcldspnthic rocks usually meta
morphosed into tJntes, serpcnlines
nnd schi.st.s.
2. A series of granites and gran
ite gneiss.
3. A scrios of rather soft sand
slonoi!, bhales and coiiRlomerntes.
The sandstones nnd sandy material
in the shales mid conglomerates seem
to he made up to a considerable ex
tent of other material than quartz.
They nro not nt least pure, or nearly
pure, (piHrtr sands-tones. The nob
bles in the conglomerates, huvvnver,
are many of them quartz. They ure
thus of Qunrtzite und other metomor
phic rocks mid of various lino grained
igneous rocks.
4. A series of basalts, tuffs and
jKissibly breccia.".

material from all the rocks named,

of it, however, is derived from the

six-Inch lilo lines nearly to tho sur
faco and thou running a p(po down
to the ram (which is nino feet below
tho surfaca) sufficient head in ob
tained to force tho water anywhere.
The capacity of tho ram no"w in uso
is about SO00 gallons per day.
WnuUs Water CftiighU
Tho wasto from tho ram Is caught
by moro tile and carried down near
the fence line, whero It empties into
a (10,000-gallon reservoir. Hero is
built an onglno houso in which is
installed a three-inch centrifugal
pump with a capacity of 300 gallons
per minute. This pump is operated
by a heavy 12 horsepower gasollno
cnglno and is so arranged that by
merely extending tho plpo lino it is
possible to deliver tho maximum
amount of water to any part of tho
ranch. At present there l 7C0 feet
of plpo connected with this pump,
which puts about 1G acreft under ir
rigation. As Hollywood is abund
antly suppled with sub-irrigation,
Mr. Allen has not found It necessary
to Irrigate his orchards, moroly using
tho water to irrigate his vegetables,
flowers, etc.
In tho engine house is an auxiliary
pump which Is connected to tho main
running from tho ram. This is
merely an emergency plant which
can bo used to supply the ranch with
water in caso of an accident to tho
ram. It may be interesting to note
that, during tho seven years' resi
dence of the present owner on the
ranch, this pump has been used but
once, and then but for a few hoars.
During tho winter tho engine, which
Is mounted on a steel truck, is hauled
up snd used around the ranch to
furnish power. i
Well Arranged.
Anothor striking featuro of tho
water system is that all of tho dif
ferent tile lines (measuring over two
miles) are so arranged that they
drain Into tho reservoir. In this
son for this, whether duo to a flow
that took place subsequent to the
folding of the other rocks or to a
decrease of the folding in that direc
tion, was not determined.
As a result of the eastward dtp, the
older rocks lie to the west nnd the
younger ones to tho cast- The older
rocks, the metamorphic rocks, and
the granites are relatively hard rocks
and form the mountains of the west
ern side of the valley. Tho metamor
phic rocks seem to be softer than the
granitic rocks; and along at least a
part o tho valley boundary they
form u series of lower mountains
with tho higher granitic hilhi lying
back of them.
The sandstones lie next above the
granitic nnd metamorphic rocks. Be
ing soft, they have been eroded, and
it is on them that the valley has
been worn. They form the low hills
lying in the vnlley and nlong tho
valley boundaries. They lie up on
tho slopes of the lower metamorphic
hills and tho western side of the
vnlley, but do not seem to reach
rnoro than n very few hundred feet
above the valley floor. Tho con
glomerate beds seem to bo responsible
-for n number of low hills out in the
valley.
Basalt Flows Above.
Above the sandstone series Ho the
basalt flows nnd tho tufa and breccia
beds. They form the eastern vnlley
wall, but outcrop mainly on the higher
slopes, the sandstones dipping into
the mountain below their outcrop in
the lower slopes. Thero is some in

manner ovory bit of water, runnls
through tho ground nt or nhovo tho

After tho reservoir is filled It over

through tho Snowy Butto Orchnrdn,
past Central Point and Into Hoar
Crook. Tho average flow of wator

million gallons dally. This can easily
and cheaply ho Increased to any
amount desired, 'but tho present flow
is sufficient for tho needs of tho
ranch.
ffoiiM.
Tho soil on Hollywood Is ynrloti In
character and runs from tho rich
gravelly soil, to bo seen at ttio south
end, to tho heavy black deposit soil
nt tho north. All of it is frco soil
and has no hardpan or bed rock.
From nn accurate record taken,
during tho frost season in tho past
threo years, It in shown that to tem
peratures range about two degrees
higher than tho average of tho valley
floor.
The Hollywood brand of Comlco,
though bat a cottplo of seasons oa
tho market, has become famous
throughout tho eastern msrkots and
tho European Cornice markets. The
orchards have Just begun to bear,
and will soon bo ono of tho' largest
producers of Comlco In tho country.
All in all, Hollywood Orchards is
most Ideally located. Tho ranch is
perfectly equipped and cared' for and
nature has been lavish wltt her gifts.
Tho lato Mr. J. II. Stewart, tho
"father of tho fruit Industry In Roguo
river valley," In a personal letter to
Mr. Allen, says or Hollywoci Or
chards under date of April 20, 1904:
"Taking tho place all together, I don't
think there is a better tract of land
in tho valley of tho samo numbar of
acres. It can bo Improved and fur
ther dovetoped so as to make an ideal
home and a money-maker at almost
any price."
dication that tho upper part of tho
sandstone scries has one or more tufa
beds and possibly some lava sheets
intcrbedded, but this was'.iot definite
ly determined. From the soil stand
point, however, it is relatively unim
portant, however important it may bo
from the geological standpoint.
A very small proportion of tho
tillable soil of the valley lies on tho
basaltic rocks, because they outcrop
high above the valley floor. In tho
northeastern portion of the valley a
number of ovens extend eastward into
the basalt regions when the soil is
residual on the basaltic rock. Th.e
basalt material is an important modi
fier of t soils along the eastern
slop of the valley, especially; and
a great deal, in fact, the predominant
pnrt of tho material of tbs valley
filling on tho eastern side is basaltic
Geology Geological History.
Tho first or oldest event, or scries
of events, seems to havo been tho
formation and metamorphosing of tho
series of metamorphic rooks lying
along tho western flank of tho moun
tains. So far as my observation goes,
ic seems to jiavo been mainly eruptive
in origin. Efovv far west it extends,
or what change m character takes
place in that direction, is unknown
to me.
The next important event seems to
have been tho intrusion into theso
metamorphic rocks of tho granites
which occur nlong the west side of
tho volley and in tho higher hills
west of it.
