OWYHEE RIVER, OREGON. 
67 
by Messrs. Arthur P. Davis and V. C. Tompkins. The gage is inclined, 
of 5 by 5 inch timber, marked from 1 foot to 13 feet. The distance 
between footmarks on the lower half is 2.77 feet. The bench mark con- 
sists of a spike driven in a large stumj) about 20 feet from the left bank 
of the river and 300 feet below the gage. It is the same bench mark 
formerly used, and is 4.35 feet above the 11 -foot mark. The channel 
is sandy and shifting. The measurement on December <S, 1894, made 
from the bridge, showed for a height of 1.4 feet a discharge of 307 
second-feet. The following tables give the ratings for the old station 
and the readings of river height for 1893, the applicability of the rating 
table being somewhat doubtful.
