I'r vioiisly, the hohlers of water recorils were, or ihouiriif they were, protectf^l by law, whereas afterward, the lejral status of most reeonls was in doubt. rnfortiinatily the situati'm was atrcravatid by the extreme dryness rif the years 1010 and 1911. When omv the news was spread broadcast that the water n'eords had no lonjrer n le;:al standing.', everyone commenced lookintr out for himself, nnd water grabbing became the order of the day. The riv dry of water users is proverbial even under the be-t admin istrat^'d laws. Tho very origin of tho word "rivals"' indicates (he tend«'ney of man to dispute over i|uestion9 of water, it.s ,,...cion w-. many, the principal one being the lack of Dominion jurisdiction over water recor ■ ranted before the Rnilwny Ilelt came into existence.

The investigations herein published are by no moans comidete, nor do they cover and ini'lude all the streams and sources of wnt^T supjdy in the Railway Helt. The scopi' iit tlie Wiirk di'uc, and tiie territory coveriv], was limited by the availabli> f.inds. tlie stalT of engineers and hydrc.grniihrrs, and tlie time at our disposal. Rome was n"t liuilt ill a day, and a ei^mproliensive hydrograidiic survey cannot be fully established even in a couple of years. The field covereil has been partly governed by the, exigen- cies of the Railway Belt water riirhts situation, which dcinandol our more concen- trated energies in the irrigation district of the ' Dry Belt,' although the work has >ince been extend, il over almost the wiiole Railway Belt, until we feel that the tinrl- tory Covered is the largtvt and the class of work done is the best uniler the circiim- stani'es. Before tlie inauguration of the Ilydrograiilii Survey, there were practically no data of strcMiu llow in the Belt, e.\cei)t certain -; .lies by large irrigation and water- powtematic and co-related studies. Ill establishing a permanent Uydrographic Survey, it was deemed advisalde to lay the foundations bn.iul and deep, by conimeneing the stud.v of as man.v represen- tative streams as ]iossible. particularly establishing gauginir stations on most streams ot known importance or of a contentious nature, (iauge readings first, mi^osureiuents ot stnaiii tl.w next, then storage and eonser\ation investigations, with necessary snrv<'y.-, all with the objii't of tlie most benoticial use of the available supply for all purposes. '1 be work might have hail more immediate scientific value if our endeavours had been coiicentrateil (Ui a few typical drainage areas, but we are lirmly of opinion tl.at in the long run our more ciuniin'heu.-ivo pri>granime i.s the In'tter one, fripin liotli l'iMoii,-;d and sidcnlific staiulpoints.

It is essential lliat records of stream flow sliould lie kept during a period of years long enough to determiiii' wilbin r(>asonable limit- the entire range of flow from the absolute maxi- mum to tile iili-ol.iic miuinuini. Tlie leugtii of such a period manifestly differs for dilTeriiii ■treains. isxperieiM>e of the riiitec] States IlydroL'raphie Service has shown that till' rn'ords for some streams sliould cover five to t>ii years, and those for other streams twenty years or even more, the limit being determined by the relative import- :;:ic:- o! ;!:;• !rr:i:ii -.ivA !;;:• iiitrrdi priidcncr of Tic io^iiit- «iili oliu-r ioji;;-(iiiir rei oris on adjacent streams. innitiKiitM'iiic SI nvFT 33 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f '" "''''"'■% '""■ •"■;rT','7'.r:' :','«" ^l;;:;::;";;^';.:' ::,;!:■ ;;;:!:; "i:;::; :;;:', -",;;,;::!;n:r ;« !* ::i ;:''^, f n. n^. >.; ;. ^.^•^ ;;;.-™;™ ^,.,r X,..r S,,..„...V Hri.lp. .n,l l.yttnn th- run-nff m lOlJ w;,> ..■!,.« "" •"■■'Y ; ^ ,;■.,„„.,. „l I.IM. ... in ..a,-ly in N....,,,!,.. wi,l, . v.-ry oM -n.p f or 1. ^ : L^Vpril .n,i M.y .u„ ,.n,-,..l n ru-h ,.f ,1... 1 w..-r ...

At Ucin: ahout 75 miles ivr-vn the inil)er industry is of great importance. The \mdergrowth is of the rankest description, with ferns, nettles, devil's cluh and alder. No irrigation is necessary.

Already two of the best powers, from an economic standixiint. have bwn developed, viz.. the Coquitlam-Runtzcn hydro-electric power development (by the Vancouver I'ower Company) and the Stave river by the Western Canada I'ower Company. These two conijianies supply hydro- electric power to the city of Vancouver, and the former for its urban and suburban electric tram lines. The following' industrial jiowers will probably be developed ia the near future, or according as Ibe prot;,-ess of the Coast requires: Chehalis river, Lillooet river, Jonea lak(. Chilliwaek river, Xah^tlale' river, Coquilialla river, etc.. some of them being capable of develoiung up to ;!0,(K)0 horse-power. Host of these rivers are being inves- tigated by private companies, and hydrographic data aro being gathered, the Ilydro- graphie Survey co-operating in the work. In addition, there are numberless small powers that can be conveniently and economically developed for private purposis or small industrial uses. •^' * tlciitv-tliree river stations liave been establish, ^1 in the Coast district, detcr- ininiug the daily, monthly, yearly, maximum and minimum tlow, etc.. and investigating the storage po--ihilities. At the same time, the importance of stream flow in connec- tion with domestic and numii'ipal water supply, drainage and tlood prevention has not been forgotten.

It is an arid .-trip of torritory about lOO miles in width, extending from about Lytton on the west to the town of Chase on the east, about ;!<) miles east of Kand.M.ps.

The stu.lv of stream flow in the TlT^ Belt is of the greatest importance in connec- tion viih irriL^.tion. particularly the numerous large and small tributaries of the Thomi>son. n= it is from these myriad streams, more or less reliabl.^ m their supply, that all tlie irrigation water is obtained- The warm suii in April and May. as-isted by earlier Chinook winds melts the snow in the hills at the head-waters of the streams, and an enormous freshet flow generally tak-s pla.-e between the secoml an.l tiiini week of May. This flow quickly subsides in .luue. In July an,l August many of the streams are dry. just when water is badlv needed for irrigation. The fall rains are not heavy, an.l they raiis,^ merely a perceptible increase in the low llow of the creeks. In the wintor. the streams are almost completely bound up by the frost and snow. The conservation of these sun.lus waters of the spring floods by the construotion of storage works is doubtless the solution of the water scarcity '" /he Drj" lielt, and the measur.- of the future agricultural potentiality of the interior of British ( olumbia. Xearlv everv stream in tiio Dr>- Belt is being u^ey. investigating tlie daily, monthly and seasonal run-off, with a view to securing a <'oinplete knowledge of the water supply, and its behaviour, in order t/i properly advise as to its conservation and assist in the administration of its use. The numerous private storage dams and reservoirs have been inspected, together with the intakes, ditches, flumes, distributing systems a-id methods of apply- ing water. The losses in transmission in many canals and ditches have been inves- tigated and measured. Storage lakes, reservoirs, and sites of all kinds have been r.i'onnoitred, an estimate made of their eapaeity. the .luanthy ,,t' available water for storage, and the nature, size. cost, etc., of the necessary storage dams and works. ■ On account of the system of granting water records lately in vogue, both for ordinnry use and for storage, it seems improbable that eo-operative eonstTUCtion of storage works can lie oiitained among llie iiuUviJual rcoord h.-hirrs.

It comprisi's >uch streams as \dams river. Salmon river. Shuswap river. Eagle river. Anstey viver and .Seymour rivcr. The precipitation ranges from 12 to l.'i inehi>s near the head of Salmon riviT (in (iraiide I'rairie) which is in the Drj' Belt, to about 40 to ,"■(( inches at the summit of the (iold range. Around Salmon .\rm and the northerly part of <>kaniigan valley (near Armstrong and F\nderby), the eliimtte is semi-arid. wit., a precipitation of from 1.") to 21 inches, hut the amomit in the grow- ing season is sutficicnt to render irrigation unnecessary. Ther<> are no evidences of aridit.v. such as bull pine. saL'c bush or cactus.

"Estimates of stream flow uiulcr winter conditicjiis may be nuide by the following metliixls: — " 1.

Whenever air is cooled below the point of saturation, rain falls, and it can only fall when thus chilled. There are se%eral ways in which air currents may bo coolel; the current may he forced upward as when it climbs the slope of a mountain range: it may be cooled by intermingling with colder air currents; and again, by coming in contact with cold land. The sea receives heat slowly and inirts with it slowly; the land, on the contrary, is rapidly heated and pirts with its heat as (i\iickly. It results from these conditions that the ocean has a fairly uniform temperature the year round, while the land i» much colder in winter than in summer. The we.-t winds come ufF the I'acitic laden with moisture and having the tempera- ture of the ocean. If they encounter land having a lower temperature they are chilled below the point of saturation and some of the moisture is deposited in the fonn of rain or snow. If. on the other hand, the land is warmer than the air, the air currents pass over it without any reduction in tetniierature and with little or no loss of moisture. During the autumn and winter, the Pacific coast is colder than the sea, and hence the copious precipitation which it enjoys at that season of the year. In the summer the conditions are reverse 1. and the air currents, although containing at least as much muisture as in cold weather, pass over the land with less loss by precipitation. In the vicinity of Vancouver there are also local nmditions affecting the quantity of precipitation, viz.: certain fairly high muuntains, which cool the moist air currents and cause abnormal rainfall. This quantity diminish advancing inland from Van- couver, owing to the upward diversion of the moisture-laden winds, and the lower elevation of the hills, until about HX> miles from the coast the precipitation is so small that an arid district has resulted. This arid .strip is nearly 100 miles in width, and is commonly called the ' Dry Bolt ' of British Columbia. After passing over this belt, higher mountains are again mot and they cool the air. consequently the preciiiitation in the vicinity of the Selkirk mountains is abnormally large. In the upper Columbia valley, from Golden to lake Windermere, there is also another arid, or semi-arid district, lying between the Selkirks and the main range of the Ilockiep^. The winds pass from one high range to the other depositing only from 10 inches to 20 inches of precipitation per annum in the valley. The precipitation in the main range of the Rockies is large (from CO inches to 100 inches), but not as great as in the Selkirks. The following is an extract from the Monthly Weather Review of the Meteorolo- gical Service: — ■ liritish Colimibia is a territory with very pronounced geographic features, several lofty chains of mountains paralleliuf the coast from the extreme north to the most southerly boimilary. Along the exiKJsed western coast the precipi- tation is over 1(H.> inches, and eastward over Vancouver island and the main- land the western slopes of the various ranges each claim a much larger percent- age of moisture from the Pacific winds than do the valleys and the interior plateaus. Near the more eastern sliores of Vancouver island, the annual preci- pitation ranges between 35 and ilO inches, while across the strait of (lenrgia in the valley of the lower Fraser, it is generally from 50 to CO inches. Eastward of the coast ranges the climate of Yale, Kamlooj'S, and the Okanagan district Is decidedly drier and the annual precipitation is from ."> inches to 20 inches according to geographic situation. Approaching the Selkirk range the precipi- tation increases, and at the higher altitudes is very great, chiefly owing to ii he.ivy sn^iwf:;!! hetwee!!

The moan rainfall given in this report for any stream on drainage area is merely an approximation, deduced with the assistance of the limited precipitation records and our intimate knowledge of meteorological conditions. We have attempted to deduce a relationship betwiu;ii tlie measured ruii-otf and the approximate precipitation and th'eee deductions niuy be of some service to engineers and others, renionibering always that our deductions tire only approximations, and are not extended over a sufficient period of time to be reliable. It will be noted that the depth of the run-off in inches, iis shown in the tabulated records of run-off in some oases almost equals or even exeeeils the estimated precipi- tation. This discrepancy is due to two sources of error in the base data used in these Computations. In the tirst place, the draituifte urea.-, arc by no means uccurate, as has been previously stated. In the second plui'e, the estimated precipitation over the drainage area is probably too small. As bus bi-en said, tlie precipitation stations are mostly in the valleys, and we have no records of or means of determining the enor- mous precipitation in the higher elevations of tlio watersheds. This is i)articularly true in such districts as Stave Lake. Lillooet Iliver. and otiier watersbe inches. Again, ip the Sel- Ivirks and main Kockies, the amount of annual snowfall is cuoiiiious, and the streams also derive much of their discharge from irluciers. The relation between the run-off aiid tlu- indeterminate l>recipitatioii cannot be even aiiproximatclv 12. entitled 'Some cli- matic factors influencing the us<> and duty of water.' by R. M. Winslow.

The nature and extent of the " Dry Belt" of British Columbia have been already discussed herein under the heading " Hydrographic Districts in the Railway Belt," with particular reference to that portion of the dry or arid district lying within the confines of the Railway Belt. In this arid belt, about 100 miles wide cast and west, the precipitation is only from 9 to 13 inches per annum, and irrigation must be prac- tised for nearly all agriculture and horticulture. By irrigation is meant the artificial wuteriiig of crops v^iiethor by means of a |j;ardeu hos* ^r iLe must eluburuU* s>sl«*iii of irrigation works; reaervoirs, headgates, canals, flumes, ditches, laterals, etc. As this report is essentially that of a hydrographic survey it purports to deal only with tl.at branch of the science of irrigation which embraces the study of the available niVAKTMKST Of THE ISTKHIOR 4 QEOROE v., A. 1014 X f 8..

It may be remarked, however, en pnssont, that irrigation as it is practised in the ' Dry Belt ' of British rojunibia can scarcely be called a seic:ice. Kxcept in the ca-.- of the large and recently urtrani/ed irrii?ation coiiiiiauii'S. flic irrigation works are n..t of the most approved type; the losses of water in transmission are excessively larce; llie distributing systems arc the evolution of expcdicn. y ; only rude attempts have li.eii made to lay out the lands for the prop»'r application of the water; generally too tiin.-li water is used; and it has been only by bitter experience that the farmers have Icarnol what crops should be grown on certain soils and under certain conditions of suli-oil». slope, elevation, expi^sure. oliniate. etc. If there i* nnc di^itrict in ranada that need- a Oovernment experimental farm it is the ' Drv Belt' or irrigation district of Brifi-!i rolumbia. rilK DirV OF \V.\TKR FOR IKUIOATION. The duty of water is expro-eil by tlie area of land that a unit of water will irri- gate. This varies according to nniny eircuinstances: soil, subsfiil, altitude, slope of laml. drainage conditions, nature of crop, eto. ; and aUo differs in different countries and localities. Hence, it is almost impossible to state a definite iluty of water for :iny large di- trict, irrespective of the varied conditions. The following table will give some idra of the relative duties in many countries and states: — Duty jwr lec-ft. Locality. (In acres).

The maxiiiiuin m the fainiiu> veiir i,t 1894 was probably about 3.000 c.f.s. The maxiiiium of an averaKc year probably would be : m) i-.f.-. The estimated minimum flow is 50 c.i.s., taking place durinn the lattei p-.irt of Icbniary and the lir^i dart of March. a^ L 1 C.\riiE Crhkk (220). Cache creek has its source in the hills northeast of .Vshcroft, at an clevatinn nt 5,500 feet and, flowing we.-t, discharge* into Bonaiiartc river 7 miles from its iiioutli, at an elevation of 1.400 feet. It is part of tlie Tlioiiii>s.,ii drainage. Its draiiinfre area is about 40 square miles. The water of Cache creek is used entirely for irri^'a- tion, and on account of the small run-off and its unreliability there is generally a water shortage in the middle of the summer. Cache creek lies in the driest portion of tlw Dry Belt. The preeii>itati..ii i< only from 9 to 13 incites. The summers are very hot and dry, and the winters •■•M and dry. Cache creek supplies the irrigation water for the land in the Scuilin valley. This valley lies between the Bonaparte and Thompson valleys, eoiinecting the twi.. and. like the Boston flat on the other side of the Bonaparte, is probably th(> old bed of a large stream or glacier which at one time flowed down the Bonaparte valley into the Thompson. The Semlin valley is about six miles long and at least half a mile wide. Only part of the land is under cultivation at present on aceniint of the lark of sufficient water for irrigation. But the land is goml and, when irrigated, yields good crops. It is this valley that has given the Ashcroft district its reputation for growinfi good potatoes. Large quantities of alfalfa are grown also for wintering the lattle. which find excellent pasturage in the hills during the sumnier. The north branch of Cache creek rises in a wooded country, but the south branch in more open countriy-. Between the two is a hill which rises to an elevation of 5,700 feet. 'J'here is a wagon road up the creek as far as the forks, and the fall is only moderate in that part of the creek. Above the forks, however, the strerm falls quite rapidly. The road up Cache creek crosses the divide, passes along the heal of Eight- mile creek, and comes out to Deadman river above the mouth of Criss creek. A ditch has been dug to take water from the South branch of Cache creek and rarry it to Tsotin lake, on Eight-mile creek. Where Tsotin lako can be filleil in this way, it givi;-s quite a supply of water. But it is only during the freshet that this Kight-niile iToi-k \t■•••"•-. I imv tli.> wiif.T i 4 GEORGE v..

OriRinaiiy almost the entire area, e.xivpt those arid portions midway between the mountain ranges, was covered with dense forests, and although the territorj- has been settled for about sixty-tive years and large areas have been elearid, the percentage of forested area to the entire area has been redu>-ed but .-lightly. It is believed that at least 45 per i-cnt of the drainage area of Colunibia river i- f(. rested. " The rainfall is distributed over the area most irregularly. From the rncitic eoast eastward to the summit of the Coast range the mean annual rain- fall varies from 100 to 150 iiiehes. In the basins between the Coast and ("a>eado range?, it drops to about 40 inehes per annum. It increases again to about 100 inches on the sunmiit of the Cascade range, and decreases very rapidly to beyond the siunniit, imtil at the ea-ti ru ba.-e of the Cascades it has dn>pped to about 14 inehes. At the mouth ..f Snake river the mean annual rainfall is all lilt !> inehe-. but tbi- extremely lew rainfall nbtains only in the l.iwer altitudes. "The climate of the area exhiliit* all the variations from the rigorous <-limate of the northern latitudes, as I'eund in British Columbia and the higher table-lands of Oregeu and Idahn. \n the mild climate of Western Oregon and AVashington. "As reganls irrigation, the area raiipes from the extremely arid region, where irrigation is absolutely cr-seiitial. through the s-mi-arid country, where dry farniiui; an.] irriiratimi are imiitis^d side by side, to the humid country that. strii'tl> sp,.;iking, is arid in the summer months." bl ips m I ^ CoLlMBIA IvlVKI!

Now gauge estal^ luhed April 10. Dischargea up to March 23 are from curve Nu. 1 . From April 10 on. they are from WALL Creek (209.) Cornwall creek rises in Cornwall lake at an elevation of 2,000 feet, and discharges into Thompson river below Ashcroft, at an elevation of 900 feet. It is part of the Thompson drainage. The area of its watershed is about 35 square miles. The water is used for irrigation, and a pipe has been laid to supply domestic water to two ranch houses. In the early days of the traffic along the Cariboo road, there waa a Hour- mill at Cornwall creek which was run by a large overshot water-wheel using water from the creek. The stream is in the dry belt, with a mean annual precipitation ot from 8 to 10 inches. Cornwall lake is about 2 miles long and a quarter of a mile wide. There i.s a dam at the outlet and it provides good storage and regulation for the creek, except that there seems to be some loss by seepage. In dry years all the water in the creik is used, and even then there is often not sufficient to irrigate the Cornwall estate, si that some years only one crop of alfalfa can be grown. The gauging station is about 500 yards above Mr. F. V. Cornwall's house, which is on the bank of the creek, four miles from Ashcroft. The gauge is a vertical stall nailed to a tree stump 200 feet abov> the old diversion, on the west side of the creek I'he meter measurement.s are made by wading. At low water they can be made at a section one font below the trau^o. but the overhanging bank prevents this at high water and it is then necessary to go farther down the stream. The channel above the gaiiL'^ is straight for .50 feet, and the water is swift. Below the gauge the channel is straij-'h- for 100 foot, with swift water. Moth banks are high and wooded. The left bank ovlr hangs the stream near the gauge, and meter measurements should not be taken thcr. at hi«h water. The bed of the stream is covered with gravel and rocks. There is on! one channel, with the water about six inches deep. Brush .jams are liable to form i tlie stream, and tills iciKh-iii'.v would be aided ii.v the presence of large boulders alon, the bank.

Hammond's ditch diverts wat.r from TpptT Hat creek at Colley'. -.,ch. abm., 22 miles from the mouth of the stream. Jt discharges the water into a large swunn.v reservoir in the divide betwc^-n Hat creek and Otv«oxi Jack crck, whence the »at, , runs into (Jn-gon Jack cnH^^k, and is us..d for irrigation cm the Basque ranch, south W'^-st of Ashcroft, in the Thomi.son drainage area. A large quantity of the wut. ; divertcl by Hammond's ditch is lost by seepage and evaporation in the so-called re-. . voir before it reaches On-gon Jack creek. The ditch is nearly two miles long, h is mostly side-hill ditch, with sever,,! kyii:ti,s of t,ml.er tlum.ng. It nins along the lower contour of the hills to the snuil: of the divide The .litch is about 6 f.H-t wide und 2 feet deep. It has a maxin.u,, capae.ty of about 20 c.f.s. The greatest quantity that ha.s yet been diverted at ,.„ tune 18 11 c.f.s.. the mean velocity being only 1..^ feet per second. A regular gauging .station was established in Hammond's ditch on May 9 1!M and tlie readings were taken until after the headgate was closed on August 20 ' ' '•; »'iu>f "s n vertical staff fastened to the side of the overflow spillway, ab.., : 10 feet below the overflow sluiceway, and 100 yards below the intake. The rer'o of tl. gauge IS referred to one bench-mark.

Accuracy, "A," "B" and "C." R«IN FALL Inrhi The discharge is partially Ingram Crekk (300). Ingram creek rises in the Bouleau hilla just south of Grand Prairie, at an eleva tion of about 4.000 feet, and flows into Salmon river in township 17, range 13, west ut the 6th meridian, 3 miles east of Grand Prairie village, at an elevation of about l.Sso feet. The creek is about 9 miles long, and drain? an area of 25 square miles. Th.> drainage area is a broken plateau extending southerly from the bowl-shaped Graiul Prairie to the Bouleau hihs, which separate Ingram creek and Salmon river from t\w Okanagan divide. About seven miles from the mouth of Ingram creek there is ,i meadow, called Ilomfray's meadow, which could be used as a reservoir in which t.. store the surplus waters of the May floods. At Ilomfray's meadow the creek has an abrupt turn from the eu.st. and about a mile from this turn the creek divides into tw- forks. On the nortii fork there are two meadows, which might be suitable for storaj-T reservoirs. These are Wtolfs and Johnston's meadows. On account of improvti. .nt- on Wolf's meadow, or homestead, Johnston's meadow might be the only site availabl.' for storage, unles.s the economic value of the stored water in Homf ray's and Wolf- meadows for use in the valuable Grand Prairie lands be considered greater than tli. said meadows for actual cultivation. The mean annual precipitation in Gir.rd Prairie and the Ingram drainage i abou'. 12 inchos. Irrigation i.s neoessary, and the waters of Ingram creek are extrem.!. valuable fur irrigation purposes. Some of the water is now used on the Ingru.:i estate and neiKhhouring lands at the mouth of the stream, but by "ar the greater pr portion of the flood waters of May and June run to waste into Salmon river 1 hero are some six old provincial water records from Ingram creek, the first oi (dated 1871) being appurtenant to the Ingram estate, and practically controls tl natural flow of the stream during the latter part of the irrigation season J he run-off of Ingram creek has been studied during the open season of 1911 ai. 1912. A station was established a short distance above the mouth and all irrigati^ diversions, ileter measurements were taken, and dailv records of pauge hei-l ' Ihe resultiufr hydrographic data for the periods, April 1 to September 30 lOir-u HrnnnnRAPHic survey 289 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25f April 1 to September 1, 1912, are appended. The year 1911 was a dry year throughout nearly the whole Dry Belt. The maximum discharge of Ingram creek took place on May 17, 1911, and was 52 cubic feet per second (gauge height, l-M feet). The mini- mum flow occurred September 19, and was 0-5 c.f.s. with a gauge height of 0-3 feet. The total run-off from April 1 to September .10 was a little over 3.000 acre-feet. The flow prior to April 1, and later than September 30 was very small, being less than 1 The year 1912 had a much larger run-off. The maximum discharge took place again on May 17, and was 130 c.f.s., with a gauge height of 2-15 feet. The minimum recorded stage was on August !>, being 3-0 c.f.s., and the gauge height of O-fia feet. The total run-off from April 1 to September 1, 1912, was 7,000 acre-feet. A river station was established n Ingram creek, May 24, 1911, by C. E. Richardson. The measuring section is located half a mile from the Armstrong- Grand Prairie road, 3 miles from the latter town, and 25 feet above King's diversion. This is an excellent section— the water is swift, the control good, the banks not liable to overflow, and there is only one channel, with a permanent rocky bed. The measure- ments are made by wading. A standard staff gauge was located on the right bank 200 vaTds above the King or Ingram diversion. On ilay IC, 1912. this gauge was washed out by the floods, and a similar gauge was located on the left bank, directly opposite the position of the former gauge. Both gauges were referred to the same three bench- marks. Discharge Measurements of Ingram f'reek, near Orand Prairie, 1911-12. Date. Hydrographer. Meter No Width. Area of Mean eection. veloiity.

Jacku creek has its soiirci in tliu liill-. J(i miles .-ioiith ot Kainloops, at an t-levn- ii"ii of S.^OO feet, and discharKeM into .hu-ko lake near Kaniioopd, ut an elt'vatinn of -.-(10 feet. It is part of the I'oterson-Soiith Thonipf^on drainatrc. The drainaKo area, a^ imasiirrd from the Geological Survey map, dated IS!t.5, scale 2 miles to an inch, i> l:i square miles. Three small unnamed creeks enter from the rinht Roing upstream. ■lacko creek is a small but verv contentious irrijjation strearn in the most arid section ■f the Dry Belt. The summers are hot and dry, the winters loup and cold (-30° F.) Jacko creek, rising in a swamp, descends rapidly for about C> miles through a iiiiseiy wooded country, where it tlows shijruishly through irrigable land to Jacko lake. I lie water in Jacko creek is subject to the reeords on Jaeko lake and Peterson creek, ■f which it is the chief tributary. (See Peterson creek for further information.) In 1911 and for the preceding four years, no water reached .lacko lake; this fact : irmed the basis of bitter fights in the courts. From the observ ition made in 1912, it iiipears that there is an enormous loss of water due to seepage. With a discharge of 7 -eci)iid-feet at the gauging statiiui, there was no more than 2 second-feet lower down, ill the irrigation ditches being closed. The river station on Jacku creek was established above all diversions on May 1, I'-'l.', by H. J. E. Keys. The meafuring section is located about 100 feet above the 'A'atson diversion, and lOfl yards west of the Kamloops-Trout Lake road. A standard •rtical staff gauge is located on the right bank at the measuring se<"tion. All . easurements were made by wading. This is an excellent measuring section, with -' ••111 control, high banks, uniform current and one iiermanent channel. The datum of •!io gauge is referred to one bench-mark. i !, ft I"' i 1 if Mr ■ti f; ' ( 294 imi'AKrUKST Of THt: ISTF.KIOR 4 QEOnOE v., A. 19U Driic'iiAHoc Mkaxi BKMKSTK of .laoko Crfok. 12 mil.w mmtli of Kamloopn, 1012. i. u t)ute.

Water has to be used tpin .laniieson creek for Jiis pun'ose for a number of years, but a new canal and liinie line has rocently been constructed by the company to replace the old system. riic canal is line.1 with concrete to prevent seepage. Where necessary, galvanized -•.■■■1 tiuming has beon uso.1 and one inverted siphon of 4'^ inches diameter has been ■ justructed of wood stave pipe. The main system is about ' miles long, and will -.rve some 6,000 acres of the compaiivs land.

At low staf-'cs. nieasiircmcnts are made by wading, but during high water it is impossible to wade, and mcasur.nicnts are m.ide by stretching across the >tr»-am an en.iK s cable, to whic-h a pull.'y is fastened.

Suutli LilliHiet rivur rises in Lillooi-t liikfs at an eleviitinn of .370 feet, diseharKiiiK into Pitt river below Pitt lake at sea-level. 'I'he preeipitatioii in the I.illooet vs'atershed varies from "0 inches per annum at the luiiutli to 100 inches, or more, at the head-waters. The stream is at present useil for lojfiriiiL', but there are water-power possibilities on it. The Uurrard Power Company is at present planninK a power development on thi- stream. A dam is to be construeted on Lillooet lake, and the freshet waters storctl A head of f^'H) feet is obtaiiu'd bv earrjiiid the water in a flume alonft the north short of the South Lillooet, r>i miles to a eontroUiiiK reservoir and thenee by 1,500 feet o! pipe line to a power-house near the mouth of the South Lillooet. The original plan of development of this company was the diversion of water from the Lillooet lakr- over the divide to Kanaka falls, near the Kraser river. The IJurnctt Lumber Com pany objected strenuously to the alienation of South Lillooet river water, since tin company claimed the right to the use of the natural flow of the stream for logKiuL^ purposes. From these objections sprang the fiunous Hurrard Power Case throu).'! which the Dominion of Canada right of ownership to the water within the Railway Belt of British Columbia was formerly established. There are extensive flats on both sides of the Soiitli Lillooet for 7 miles from tb' mouth, and part of this land is under cultivation at present. It is often flooded, aii'i mui'h of it must be dyked before it can be used for farming. The land is very ferti'.i and either open or easily cleared. The intermediate part of the watershed is comiiose.! of hills and plateaus, a few hundred feet hiirb, with very vabiable timber, mainly t'. and cedar. Some of this has been cut, and logging operations are being carried oi at present. The logs are run down the river during the freshets, but this method i- not very satisfactory.

This railroad .'oUows the river hi tween Spence's JJridfii' and .Merritt. and any development would interfere with I ho present rijrht of way. There is small industrial power on Sjiius creek, but any installation would he expensive. Coldwater river affords similar opportunities to Spius creek, but the power all throufih the valley is very limited. There are two stations on Nieola river. The upper one. at .Merritt (21 1\ was '•stablished on June 17, 1011, by C. E. IJiehardson, and continuous daily (laupe read- ings Were obtained until the end of December, 11U2. The measurinj: section is located on the upstream side of the highway bridsje, immoJiately below the mouth of the Coldwati'r river. Merritt station is slightly over •nj mile distant by the C.P.R. track, ifeasnrements are made by cable suspension.

A drop of over .'i'tO feet in J miles !)etween Xiskon'.ith lake and the South Tliomp.son indicated tli(> possibility nf a small power dovelunment. The mean flow, however, is very small, but it mi?;lit be aiiiimeiiled by divirsion from a tributary of Adams lake. The stati'in was establislu'd on Ausi-ist W. I'.Ml. bv C. ('..

No. 2 ereok has itis couriv in the Selkirk iiinmitiiiiis, nt an I'lcvatiou of from 11,(10(1 to U.iMXt foet, and liiscliartfos into I'ppcr Culiinihia river !• miles below lake Wimiermere, at an e!i'vation of -'.TOil fi'el. It is i)art of the I'pper Coiiinihia draiua);e; the druinaKe area is at present indeterminate, as there art? no ri-liahle maps of the vicinity. It is probably about l.">() scpiare miles. The headwaters of the ereek have uii annual pn'oipitalioii of abc nt (1(1 inehes, principally snow. Toward the mmith, the ere t'"^ses through the arid Windermere distriet, where the iireeipitation is abont !,'> ii. hi annnallv, anil the winter conditions very se.ere. From the month of t!ie ereek to the lower wayon road (li mill's) the stream flows through the bottom lands of the Columbia vallev, which are llooded at hi^h water in .hiiu' and .July. Above the erossiuf; the creek runs throuuli a box canyon half mile loiifr, 30 feet wide aiul l."iO feet deep, in which there is a fall of .">0 feet. At the head of the canyon there is a direct fall of l;!."> fi et (measureil by aneroid). The banks at the head of the canyon are of solid rock, Ml feet hij.'h and .'>() feet wide. Above the falls the canyon continues for about a inile, when the country opens out a little. Two miles above the head of the eanvin the en ek forks. No. I! creek comiuff in from the north. No. ."5 creek carries more water than the main creek above tlu? forks. It Mows throuffh a rolling country, mostly tindiered, but in whicli several ranchers have settled. No. -J creek, above the fork, flows through a ron^'h mountainous country for C miles. Irrigation is ])ractised in the Columbia valley, luid tlie w;it(>r of No. 2 ereek can bo u.sed for this purpo-e. .Mr. i'orster, a larire I indowner in the district, luiilt a ihnr.. SO feet hiiih, at the bead of the falls in order to raise water to some of his bench lands. When the water reached the desired height, the dam failed, lie is now eonstructinK an irrifration flume with the intake on No. •! ereek, about i miles above the forks. .V water-power development is practicable on this stn'am. The flow is more nniform than on other streams in this vicinity. The maximum for 1iM2 occurred dor inff the latter part of Juiu', and was 1,110 c.f.s. The mean tlow from June to the end of October was ."iOO c.f.s. The estim;ited minimum flow in the latter part of February is .It* c.f.s. Ry construetinj; a dam at the liead of the falls a head of i.^C fei t could be obtained. There 's iid piod natural storaire reservoir on the stream, aitlioujrh the su^rsrested dam would K've iiood iiondatic and forebay. Tlie hvdrosjraphic station on No. i ereek is situated at the liinhwiiy hridfie on tin road fri'n Atlialmcr. about \\ miles from the mouth. The fiaufie is a vertical staff ;;aupe. T feet loui.', and is fastened to the abutment on the lower riiiht liand side. Tlu (laufre is graduated in feet and tenths. Hencli-marks wore established and referred t ■ the 7.oro "f tho ir.iujjre. The traut'e was read daily by a neijrhbnurinfr randi r. Measuri ments wer(> made at the upper side of the bridjro. The .section was not very »;ooil. owinir to the swift water and uneven nature of the stony crook bod. T)ts(it.M;ia: .^[^■.ASI hkmknts of No. 2 Crook, at hisrhway bridffo, near F\)rster's ranch, 1012.

The drop in the last 20 mih's of the river is at tlie rate of l.".o feet per mile. \o agricultural land is 10 he foimd in the valley, at least not within 20 miles of tlie mouth.

Tlinuigh this district the hunting is excellent and the fishing nnexcelled. .Stein creek was prcjspectcd years ago, ami a trail still runs l)ractii'ally tr) the source, but it presents great ditbi'ultics to travellers. Stein creek is used at the liresent time for irrigation purpo.s,.s. Records to the extent of 1,000 inches arc taken out. appurtenant to land.s in the vicinity along the valley of the Frascr. The C.P.U. invcsfigateil .Stein creek regarding water-power possibilities, but di-cided on nothing. The chief objection t i any power developiii(>nt on Stein creek is the lack of gooil storage, (food suinnier power neiy l)e obtainecl. The hydrograiiliii- station on Stein iTcek was c-tablished on Sei)tembcr 22, lull, by ('. K. Richardson, and continuous readings have since been taken during tlie open season. The measuring se<'tion i- located on the (iownstream side of the higluvay liridge. about half a mile from the mouth, and !\ miles from the P'rasor river fi-rry above l.ytton. All measurements are made by suspending the initer from a cable. .■\ standard vertical staff gauge is fastened to the cribbing of the right abutment, on the downstream side. In the spring of li>12 a chain gauge was established for use during high water; the datum of both gauges is the same, and is referred to three bench-marks. This is a fair section, excellent control, high hanks, and one permanent channel; but the channel bed is very rocky, aiul accurate soundings are difficult. iffl n J :.II t.'v 442 ItKI'XRTUEST OF THE ISTERIOR 4 QEORQE v., A. 19H Discii.kROE Mea81'rkmrnt8 of Stein Creek, near mouth, 1911-12.

The gauge is a standard vertical staff gauge and is fustctuil to a pile in the xieasuriug section. Measurements are made from the bridge bctwcru the lift bank 'tn^l ^c wharf and fr.>iii a boat steadi(>d by tho cable for the rcmniniii;.' part of thr distance. This cable cjiuiot be l'>ft pormuncntly in place on account iil the na^'iffation on the river. Tho right bunk is high and sparsely timbered, the left bank is gently sloping and clean. The strcuni i.s in one <'hanncl, with a gravel and sand bottom, and there is no iMjssibility of ovirHow. The depth viirics from 15 foot tn 25 feet. Throe bench-marks have been established and their elevations, referred tn tli>' datum of tho gauge, are as given below : — B.M. No. 1. — Nnil head on the top of the pile to which the gau^i' i- fastened. Klevation, 15-20 feet. B.M. No. 2. — Nail head on the pile on the upstream side of the wImii. across from the gauge. Elevation, ]5-5!» feet. 15. M. No. .3. — Nail head on the pile on the upstream side cif tlie wliarf '.'i feet from the gau);c. Klevation, l.^'iOS fi-et. The maximum llow since .Vpril, 1011, was .'iri.iftOO r.f.s.. and took plaei' cui .[imi- ■-'^. 1911. The minimum flow was 2,400 c.f.s.. and took place on Mnn^i 1. r.U2.

It flows in a southeasterly direction for 12 miles, dischargiiiK into Thompson river 3 miles above Spcnces Bridge, at an elevation of 750 feet. It is a small si ream about 5 feet wide, from 6 inehcs to 1 foot deep, flowing with a velocity of (l-o feet to 1-5 feet per second. There are several falls of 10 feet on the stream, the valley is very narrow and the banks steep. A trail follows the creek practically to the source. The upper part of the valley broadens out a little, and in it there is some j;.iod agricultural land. This land is all included in Cook's Ferry Indian Reserve No. 4 and (i. Three hundred inches of wattT is recorded by Messrs. Morcn and Curiiow from Twaal creek to irrigate lots 2:5, 3TS and 28 G. 1. Throughout the irrigation season about 4 c.f.s. of water reaches Mr. Moren's upper diversion. The ditches are long and the soil gravelly so there is generally a scarcity of water. The Indians on the rcsene up the creek also have records, but of a later date, and at times thoy divert the creek over their land. Twaal creek is a very con- tentious irrigation stream. The hydrographie station established in June, 1911, and maintained till October 1, 1911, showed that about 4 second-feet of water reached Moren's upper diversion. Miscellaneous measurements in 1912 showed the flow to be about the same. DlsciiARf;K :Me\si RKMKNTs of Twaal ("reek above Moren's Diversion, for 1911-12. Date. llyilrograplier.

It has mil.v a small watershed, ami is drv most of the year, Diirinj^ the spriii- freshet, however, there is often a g,Mi\ discharw from White mountain; this water is stored in Venables lake, and is used for irrigation later in the si^ison. 'Ihe lai.e is a mile and a half lorn,', half a mile wide, at an altitude of 2,2:!0 feet. Thi> provides a piod reservoir, and it is iiossihle to use all the fr(ar round, and which is lar^'c enoiipb for the Indians to irriirate with. Venables valley, in which the lake is situatevater in dry years, and the comparatively hiKh altitude, lMKMi feet. The land above the lake cannot be irrigated b.y a firavity system, as the stream runs dry. There is also some jrood land at the miiutli of the ereek. held princip.illy by Indians, lietween this ^(•ction and the valley, there is a deep canyon in which the ereek bed falls 1.4(H) feet in two miles. There i- r.irely any water in this section of the stream, except where the siirimr rises; even the freshet water is held back by the dam on the lake. The (iriirina! route of the Vale-Cariboo road was through the Venables vall(\v. and the land was taken up at that time. Later, when the C.P.K. was built on the .p|iosite side of Thompson river, the route was chan^'ed, and the valley was left isolated. Now, however, the C.X.U. is beins con- structed near thi' valley, and conditions may imiirove. The river station on Venables creek was established .May 6, 1912, by <", G. Cline. The measuring section is located in the Veiuxbles valley, 100 feet above the lake. This is a fairly pood section, the eo.'itrol is ^ood, the current uniform, the banks hif,'b, and there is one channel; the bed of the latter, however, is mud. and is subject to tramplinsr ittle A standard statl bank. jrauL'c IS iiti^d at tl le measuring section on ttie rif;ht Disciuiici: Mkasi ii|-.Mi;NTS of Venables Creek (20T), above Venables L: liMi Date Ilv.lr iiph'T.

It is a rapid mountain streatn. :.'(! miles lonp, varyin;,' in width from Kt f.'ct to 1,-.M feet, and in depth from l' feet to 1! feet. The tributaries (jjoing upstream) in aseen.lin^; order are: Takakkak falls from the rifiiit, Little Voho river from the left, and Twin falls from tin; l.ift. The drainaire area of the stream is 75 .S(|uare miles. The annual prn-ipitation i, over !Hl in<'hes, of whieh from 40 inehes to 50 inehes is snow. The run-off depth in inches in IIUJ exceeded ItO inches, but no run- off factor can he obtained, as it is known that the slacier- are receding. The winter eomlitions arc severe ( — 40 V.) while the summers are hot, with eonsiderablo rain. The scenic beauty of Yolio valley is well known. Thousands of tourists annnallv drive up the valley to see the famous Takakkak falls, where the water is -een to fail 1,250 feet. Many of these ride up the valley to see the beautiful Twin falls and the various glaciers and snowtields. Two small power developments are possible. A head of SO feet may be obtained in 300 yards from the mcjuth upstream, and, by damming, a small pondage is practi- cable. By placing the power site along Kicking Horse river below the mouth of the Yoho a head of 120 feet is obtainable. About 2 miles from the mouth there is a canyon 5 miles long, 50 feet wide at the bottom, and -'iOO feet at the top. The walls are of a solid granite formatiim. The fall is 400 feet in the 5 mile,^, but a head of 300 feet could he (jbtained by constructing a high narrow dam at the foot of the canyon. There is a good power site at the foot of the canyon on the east bank. Any power would have frazil ice to contend with, extremely severe winter conditions to meet, and a good flow for mily the summer months. 12T On June 5, 1!»12, a metering was made by C. E. Richards obtained, A gauge it was carriei id a discharge of 'stablished on Yoho river on .1 une .-). 1012, by C. E. Richardson, but ivay by the heavy freshet at the end of June.
