THE IRRIGATION AGE. 



125 



and 297 are hydrographic gazette- 

 ers containing information con- 

 cerning all streams, lakes, ponds, 

 and other bodies of water within 

 the state. Nos. 298, 299 and 300 

 contain the results of all stream- 

 flow measurements that have been 

 made within the state. 



The State Board of Control 

 (Water Powers), finding itself in 

 need of accurate information con- 

 cerning the fall of the principal 

 rivers of the state, made a further 

 allotment to the Geological Survey 

 for special profile surveys of the 

 Pit, Middle Fork of Feather, three 

 forks of the American, the Tuo- 

 lumne, and the San Joaquin rivers, 

 alloting therefor the sum of 

 $10,600. 



The California State Water Com- 

 mission, which succeeded the Board 

 of Control (Water Powers), has 

 recently entered into an agreement 

 for the further pursuit of stream 

 flow investigations under an allot- 

 ment of $3,500. 



INVOLVES VALUES OF 'MILLIONS OF 

 DOLLARS 



All this work above described, 

 together with that which has been 

 carried on in previous years under 

 co-operative agreement between the 

 survey and the state engineer, will 

 make available to the people of 

 California practically complete in- 

 formation concerning the water re- 

 sources of the state, the actual value 

 of which has already been demon- 

 strated to be many millions of dol- 

 lars and the future value of which 

 will overrun all estimates that may 

 at the present time be considered 

 reasonable.

When the great plains which rise 

 high above the Columbia River can- 

 yon in eastern Oregon are entirely 

 mapped, showing all the elevations, 

 it will be plainly seen how the wa- 

 ters of the Columbia were in pre- 

 historic time diverted from its can- 

 yon and were made to traverse a 

 new course. A recently issued to- 

 pographic map covering a portion 

 of this Columbia river plain is the 

 Moses Lake sheet, in Grant county.
