 SUIT TO DETERMINE WATER RIGHTS. 



The Water Code of Oregon (Act Feb. 24, 1909 

 [Laws 1909, p. 319]), creates a board of control, with 

 authority on petition of a user of water from a stream 

 after a hearing on notice to all other users or claim- 

 ants to determine the respective rights of all parties, 

 subject to review on exceptions by the court in which 

 the order of the board is to be filed. It also authorizes 

 any court in which suit is brought to determine water 

 rights in its discretion to transfer the case to the board 

 of control for determination. Held that, in view of 

 such statute, a federal court in which such a suit was 

 brought to enjoin defendants therein from using wa- 

 ters of a stream should require the parties to proceed 

 under the act or to bring in all other persons in in- 

 terest as parties. Pacific Live Stock Co. v. Siknes

Ready Now: The Primer of Hydraulics 



By FREDERICK A. SMITH, C.E., Hydraulic Engineer 



NEW MANAGER OF GOULDS CENTRIF- 

 UGAL PUMP DEPARTMENT. 



The Goulds Manufacturing Company, Seneca 

 Falls, N. Y., announce the recent appointment of 

 Mr. F. Z. Nedden of London, Eng., as engineer in 

 charge of the Centrifugal Pump Department. 



Mr. Nedden's technical education was obtained 

 at the Technical University of Berlin at Charlotten- 

 burg, where he graduated with high honors. His 

 early practical training was obtained in the shops of 

 the Berliner Maschinenbau A. G. vormals L. 

 Schwartzkopff in Berlin and Wildau, from 1899 to 

 1906. 



From 1906 to 1908 Mr. Nedden was assistant 

 professor on gas and rotary engines and machines 

 at the Technical University, Aix-la-Chapelle. 



In 1908 he traveled through Europe by order of 

 the senate of the Technical University of Berlin, 

 investigating problems in connection with the man- 

 ufacture and application of high lift turbo machines. 



In 1908 he joined the Machine & Pump Factory 

 of Messrs. Weise & Monski, Halle, Germany, and 

 developed their line of high lift turbine pumps. In 

 1910 he was transferred to London and from that 

 period until 1913 he developed their English and 

 Colonial business. During 1912 he traveled in South 

 Africa and Canada in the interests of this company. 



Mr. Nedden has recently been making an ex- 

 tensive trip through the United States studying the 

 technical and economical conditions of the market 

 for Centrifugal and Turbine Pumps and has now 

 taken up his duties with The Goulds Mfg. Company 

 at Seneca Falls. 



Mr. Nedden is the author of German Text 

 Books for Engineering Students, which have been 

 translated in English under the auspices of the 

 Institute of Civil Engineers. He is also author of 

 numerous articles in the technical press. He is a 

 member of the Verein Deutsches Ingenieure, South 

 Wales Institute of Mining and Mechanical Engi- 

 neers and the South African Institute of Engineers. 



This new book is a splendid volume of over 200 pages of 

 absolutely new matter pertaining to the subject of Hydraulics 

 and its allied branches. All the subjects treated of are han- 

 dled in a simple and practical way to make them of use to the 

 men who have been unable to obtain a college education, but 

 who are successful practical men in fields where they require 

 a knowledge of the principles of Hydraulics and instructions 

 how to solve their problems in a simple and satisfactory 

 way. This book is indispensable for anyone engaged in 

 works relating to Hydraulics, Irrigation or Drainage; it 

 is primarily designed for the practical man in the field, 

 but will be equally welcome to the trained Hydraulic 

 Municipal and Railroad Engineer especially, on account of the 

 many valuable tables compiled by the author, which will save 

 a tremendous amount of time in computations. 

 Condensed Table of Contents. 



General Properties of Matter. 



Algebraic Principles. 



Geometrical Principles. 



Trigonometry. 



Mensuration of Plane Figures. 



Mensuration of Solids. 



The Principles of Mechanical Forces. 



The Three States of Matter. 



General Hydraulic Principles,. 



The Coefficient of Roughness. 



How to calculate . 



Explanation of the "C" Tables. 



Open Channels Problems. 



Closed Channels Problems. 



Pipes Flowing Full Under Pressure. 



Loss of Head by Enlargement of Channel. 



Subdivisions of Channels. 



Loss of Head at Entrance to F'ipes. 



Ditches. 



Ditch Tables and Their Applications. 



Flow Measurements. 



The Use of Logarithms. 



Tables. 



Fourteen tables giving the factor C for all cases of chan- 

 nels for a coefficient of roughness ; n varying from 

 008 to .050, inclusive, for channels having a hydraulic 

 radius from .01 ft. to 900.0 and for slopes varying from 

 0.1 to .000025, thus practically covering every possible 

 condition. 



Tables of square roots of numbers used for r and J. | 

 Table of Hydraulic Elements of the Circle. 

 Table of Hydraulic Elements of Composite Section. 

 Table of Areas and Circumferences of Circles. 

 Table of Hydraulic Equivalents. 



Table of Weights of a Cubic Foot of Various Substances. 

 Conversion Table of United States and Metric Measures 



and Weights. 



Table of Squares, Cubes, Square Roots and Cube Roots. 

 Table of Logarithms. 

 Table of Natural Sines and Cosines. 

 Table of Natural Tangents and Cotangents. 

 Conversion Table, millions of gallons in 24 hours in other 



units. 



Table of sizes of pipes or cylindrical conduits required for 

 the flow of given quantities of water at given veloc- 

 ities. 



Most all of these tables have been originated and 

 computed by the author and have been checked in prac- 

 tical work and found to be correct, so that the tables alone 

 will be worth many times the cost of the oook. 



The price of the book has been placed as low as is 

 consistent with the superior quality of the work and it 

 may be obtained on the following terms: C.2.50 a single 

 copy, cloth bound; if order is sent with a new subscrip- 

 tion to Irrigation Age or a renewal subscription, the 

 book will be sent and the Irrigation Age one year for 

 the sum of $3.00. 



Postage is included in the above prices. 



Send in your orders early, so as to receive early attention. 



Send all orders and remittances to 



irrigation Age, 30 N. Dearborn St., Chicago.
