LODI STATION, ON MOKELUMNE RIVER. 
This station is located 1 mile north of Lodi, at the railroad bridge of 
the Southern Pacific Company. This station is an old one, and was 
examined on January 6, 1895, by Mr. Arthur P. Davis. The observer 
is the bridge watchman. The gaging station is distant from the watch- 
man's house about 600 feet. The gage is a vertical plank fastened to 
the south side of the middle pier and divided into feet and inches. It 
can be read from the bank at low water and from the bridge at all 
times. Gaging was made by lowering the meter through openings in 
the railroad bridge. The channel is very unfavorable for gaging. 
When the water is at the 8-foot mark, the current is broken and not at 
right angles to the bridge. About one-half mile above the railroad 
bridge is a wagon bridge which has no piers in the river and offers 
more favorable conditions for gaging.
