PROGRESS REPORT, 
[BULL. 131. 
was nailed to tlie crib work on the right-hand side of the river, above 
the railroad bridge, and can be read easily from the track. The 12-foot 
mark is 9.97 feet below the top of the rail on the bridge, the gage being 
about GO feet easterly from the rail. The top of the iron pier, on the 
southeast end of the county bridge, is 5.87 feet above this 12-foot mark. 
Measurements were made from the county bridge. The locality is, 
however, not favorable for the purpose, as the water is very swift, and 
is broken by the piers of the bridge. The discharge on August 14, 
1893, was ascertained to be 1,193 second-feet, the reading on the gage 
being 1 foot. The station was inspected by Mr. Arthur P. Davis on 
November 21, 1894. At this time he made measurements of discharge 
at Nelson's bridge, about 4 miles above. The measured discharge was 
1,196 second-feet and the maximum velocity 4.58 feet per second. This 
locality is not considered good for measurements at high water.

TOPPENISH STATION, ON TOPPENISH CREEK. 
This station is located about 4 miles south of Toppenish station, at 
the crossing of the Northern Pacific Railroad. It was established on 
November 24, 1894, by Messrs. Samuel Storrow and Arthur P. Davis. 
The observer is the section foreman at Toppenish. The station is 
distant from the section house at Toppenish about 4 miles. The gage 
is of 2 by 6 inch scantling, painted white, graduated in black, and 
spiked to a pile and sleeper of the railroad bridge. Bench marks are 
to be established by Mr. Storrow. Measurements of discharge were 
made 80 yards above the bridge.
