JANUARY, 1911. MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW. CLIMATOLOGICAL DATA FOR JANUARY, 19 1 1. DISTRICT No. 12, COLUMBIA VALLEY. EDWARD A. BEAL~, District Editor. GENERAL SUMMARY. The cold spells were short and the warm spells were long, which was favorable for construction work and fur winter farming. The floods in tlie Wil1:imette Valley tlncl in southeastern Idnho were damaging ; but as they were of short duration, repairs were soc )ii made aiicl the travel- ing public was not greatly inconvenienced. The stenm schooner Lakme became water loggecl in a gale off C'ape Blanco on the evening of January 17, and she would have been lost if the steam schooner Nun Smith had not hove in sight before tlie helpless ship could drift ashore. The crew of the Lakme were taken nboard the A70n Sniitir with- out loss of life, and the Ltrkine was then safely towed to Snii Francisco. Avalanches, 011 the 26th, hi the Wood River drainage area in Idaho killed sis persons, and this niiiii- ber, added to the one drowned in the Willnniette River flood a t Snlem, makes IL total of seven persons wlio lost their lives in this district during JaiiuiLry, 191 1, tlirougli stress of weather. The absence of snow on the winter feeding rounds for stock macle pasturage arnilnl>le, niid than last year a t this time. a t the c P ose of tlie month stock was in better condition TEMPERATURE. Tlie mean temperature, as determined froin the rea )rds of 237 stations, was 30.1", which is 0.7" below the district average. Tlie mean temperatures ranged between 43.f", a t Port Orford, Oreg., near sen level, and 13.S", at Snake River, Wyo.; elevation, 7,000 feet. The wariiiest sec- tion was west of tlie Cascade Mountains, where tenipern- tures averaged 32" or above. In tlie lower C'o1umbi:i and lower Snake River Valleys mean temperatures of 30° to 39' obtained and at the higher elevittions, especially in centrttl and northeastern Washington, northern siicl eitst- ern Idaho, western Montnna and western Wyoming, the mean temperatures were generally below 30'. In north- ens tern Oregon, sou theas tern Wasliingtnn, southwestern Montana, southern lclaho, and western Wyniiiing, mean temperatures were generally above normal, tlie greatest departure being 5' above a t Richlaud, Oreg., in the Blue Mountitins, elevation 2,350 feet. In southwestern ant1 some sections of estreme eastern Oregon, and in northern and western Washington, mean temperatures rltneetl several degrees below normal, the greatest departure hemg 7.3" below a t Republic, Wash., elevntion 3,625 feet. There were two cold spells, one on tlie 1st and 3c1, and the other from the 13th to 17th in western sections, hit con- tinuing to the 23cl in some eastern sections. Froiii the 4th to gth, on the lgtli, and from tlie 24th to tlie end of the month, abnormally warm temperatures obtained in eastern sections. The highest recorded temperature was 70' a t Pilot Rock, Oreg., elevation 1,817 feet, on the lStIi, 8157611-9 and the lowest was -45" a t Snake River, Wyo., eleva- tion 7,000 feet, on the 2d. PRECIPITATION. Tlie average precipitation, as determined from tlie records of 33s stations, w'its 4.13 inches, which is 0.20 inch abnre the average fnr tlie district. Although precipitn- tioii occurred locdly cluriiig the first decade, the greater portion of the monthly amounts occurred duriug the secc )ncl m d tliird clecniles, during which period the stormy wenther w.as aliiiost continuous. The greatest precipita- tion occurred west of the C'iiscatle hhuntains in Oregon and TVasliington, 1 x 1 t the rainfsll wits comparatively Iienvy nlso in tlie inimeclinte unlleys of tlie Chlumbia and Snitke Rivers.

The snowfdl was, AS ti rule, slightly deficient, and at the close of the month somewhat less than the usunl amount of snow remained (111 the ground. The greatest monthly precipitittion was 26.1 1 inches t i t Ha py Home, Oreg., in the Um qua drainage basin, Takinia basin. Tlie greateut 24-hour fall was 5.36 inches nt Happy Home, Oreg., on the 19th. cipitation were in the 1 iigher elevations of tlie Coast Range and t i e P least was 0.10 inch a t &see, e ash., in the THE RIVERS. Tlie rivers throughout the district were below the Jan- uary norind, and the mean stages were uniformly lower than t,liose for December, 1910. The Columbia River averaged 2.1 feet, which is 1.9 foot below the normal for the month, being 5 feet below at Cascade Locks and 3.3 feet below a t The Dalles. Com- pared with the December mean stage, the average for January was 3.3 feet lower. The Willarnette River averaged 6.6 feet,, which is 0.8 foot below the Januitry normal, being 1.8 feet below a t Harrisburg and 1.9 foot below a t Salem. A small flood occurred in the Willaiiietke and itls lower tributaries from the 19th to the 33~1, inclusive, caused by unusually heavy rains oil the 17th and 1Sth. which melted the snow that then lay in tlie valley nncl on tlie slopes of the mountains. The river rose rapidly on the lSth, lgth, and 20tli, and fell with almost equal rapidity on the three following days. The flood stage was reached n t Eugene, Jefferson, hichhiiville, and Portland.

JANUARY, 191 1 The forecasting of this flood was difficult, owing to the heavy rains being confined to the lower portion of tlie valley. The precipitation was considerably less above Albany, consequently not enoiigh wiiter came from above to increase the flood, and as a result the freshet was sud- den and of short duration. Much alarm was felt in Port- land, due to the rapid rise of the river on the 18th ancl 19th, but the Weather Bureau was able to prevent much unnecessary expense in the moving of goods to places of safety. The property loss was much less than in tlie November flood of 1909. All of tlie railroads running into Portland were forced to discontinue service from one to three dltys and many bridges in the country districts were damaged or entirely washecl away. Tlie greatest damage was done in the vicinity of Salem, where one man was drowned while t'rying to cross a swollen creek, many people were driven froni their homes, and coiisicl- erable loss was sustained by live-stock owners. The Snake River averaged 2.2 feet, which is 0.7 foot below normal. Tlie liighest stage recorded was 3.4 feet at Riparia on the 31st, and tlie lowest was 1.5 foot a t Lewistou on the 24th. What is considered to be the worst flood in years, con- gestina traffic, dtmagiiig property and stock, and placing sever9 soutlieasterii ~c ~a l i o cities uncler from 1 to 3 feet of water, occurred on tlie last few days of J:inuary. The flood was confined to southern Bingham and iiortliern Bannock Counties and wns chiefly caused by the unusually high water in the Port Neuf River, due to the melt,ing of n heavy snow, followed by a rainstorm, and also to ice gorges that were formed in the stream at various places. Water stood in tlie streets of Pocatello, Blackfoot, Ross Fork, and Bancroft. Portions of the Oregon Short Line track were washed out and nearly a thousand passengers were compelled to wait at Pocatello from one to three clays while the track was being repaired. MISCELLANEOUS. The observer at Huntsville, Columbia County, Wash., reports that buds are nearly ready to burst and that tlie month lias been spring-like. AtCle Eli~m,~ittitasCounty, Wash., a chinook wind near the close of tlie month caused the snow to settle rapidly to the depth of 1 foot. At Lake Keechelus the snowfall was unusually heavy, there being 9 feet on the level a t one t,iine during the month. Many stations in western Oregon reported thunderstorms from the 24th to the '7th; also hail and sleet on rarious dates, particularly on the 9th, loth, and 11th. Hail occurred at several stations in Wasliington on tlie 9th and 19th. Solar and lunar halos were of frequent and general occur- rence, as were also high winds. The liighest velocities recorded were as follows: North Head, Wash., 7s miles from the south on the Sth; Tatoosli Island, Wash., 66 miles southeast on the Sth; Seattle, Wash., 55 miles south 011 the 9th; Lewiston, ltlaho, 52 miles west on tlie 9th; Pocatello, Idaho, -40 miles southwest on tlie 7th; and Boise, Idaho, 3s miles northwest on the 11th. The pre- vailing wind direction was southwest. SNOWSLIDES I N THE WOOD RIVER COUNTRY, IDAHO. A series of unusua1l;v disastrous snowslides occurred in tlie drainage area of Wood River on January 36. Sis tleaths were caused, so far as known, and many niore would have resulted had it not been for the fact that the population in the region affected was sparse. Slides occurred in almost every gulch. Two deaths occurred in Atlams Gulch, above Ketchum; three on Warm Springs Creek, in the vicinity of Boyle Mountain; and one at Muldoon. Mr. C'. N.

This period of snow antl rain w a s followed 1))- n period of severe coltl, which ciilniinatetl al)out the 2Pil or '23~1 in teniper- ntures helow zero orer iiiost of that region. The effect of this cold period was to solitlify the covering of wet snow SO tlint it becanie n solitl coating of ice and to freeze the grountl to R clepth of several inches. On the 24th there was a sudden rise in temperature. Snow began to fall in the early morning, soon turning t o rnin, which continiied without interruption till the niorn- ing of the 26th. Tlie amount, of precipitation tlwing this storm ranged from 13 inches to more than 33 inches a t tlie reporting stations in that) section, ant1 was probnhly much lien\-ier in the mountains. Such a rain lind not occurred before in tlint section since recorcls have been kept.

The transformer st at ion, from wliicli electric power for tlie city is distributed, was practicnlly wrecked, aiitl the city was left in darkness. Almut 65 feet of track was \v:i4ied out on tlie Oregon Short Line Railroad near Ikoni. abow Pocatello, causing a complete stopyiige of traflic un this roacl for more tlian three days.

The hlinidoka irrigation projec t of t8he Unitecl States Reclamation Service covers an irrigable nrett of approxi- mately 125,000 acres in Lincoln antl Cassia Counties, Idaho, deriving its water siipply from the Snake River by means of a rock-fill di\-ersion daiii located t i t a point 6 miles south of the Rhidoka stabion on the Oregon Short Line Railroad. Tlie gravity portion of this project was construc tecl during the years 1905 to 1907, and was officially opened in the spring of 1907. From 190s to the present time tlie pumping unit has been under construction. This latter unit has not yet been officially opened by the Secretary of tlie Interior, but water hns been furnished during the season of 1910 on a rental basis to all settlers desiring i t . Tlie character of tlie land lying on the nortli side of the river varies from sand t,o sandy loam and clay, underlain, a t depths of from 100 to 200 feet, by lava rock. On the south side of tlie Snake River tlie soil is more nearly uniforni, consisting of a finely clisinteg-ra tetl lava forniation, mi th a gently rising slope southward from the river to the foothills of the Goose Creek Rfoun- tain Range. All tlie tract is free from rock and lias proved very fertile, growing bountiful crops of staple products. Under tlie existing plan all of the area lying on the north side of the river, within the limits of the project, is irrigated by a gravity system, wliicli diverts water for GS,500 acres a t the clam above mentioned, the divert- ing canal having a capacity of over 1,400 seconcl-feet. This main canal is 13 miles long, and separates a t its lower end into two great systems, each of which divides into smaller canals and laterals. At tlie south-side l i e d gates 8.50 second-feet are diverted into a canal which irrigates by gravity 7,500 acres in its length of 13 miles and which serves also ns a feeder for the pumping tract, located beyond its lower end. Here t h e e pumping sta tions, eqiiippecl with elec- trically driven centrifugal lit111ips and operated 1)y power transmitted from the ~1 ~1 1 1 , rnise water into three main canals, each of which is apl)roxinintely 30 feet higher than the one below, nittlring tlie greatest lift above tlie gravity canal about 90 feet. With the equip- nient as at present plnnnetl 500 second-feet of water passes through tlie first lift station, 3'75 second-feet through tlie second station, antl 300 secontl-feet through tlie third, there being a total of 49,500 acres of irrigable land under this tract. Tlie farm units on tlie hlinicloka project are 40 and SO acres in area, nncl the duty- of water is 60 to 100 acres to the seconcl-foot, according to the character of tile soil. The tract lyiiig on the north side of the river is now being yroricled with a clrainng-e system, which will eventunlly serve it11 portions of the land requiring drainage. The mean annual run-oft' of the Snnlie River a t tlie Minidola clttni is alioiit 6,0~)0,1)~)0 acre-feet, the lowest on record lwiiig 3 ,SOU,OOO acre-feet. During the years of lorn suninier run-off the nntiiral flow of the river daring 1% portion of tlie irrigating season is not sufficient to supply tlie needs of the project, on account of prior rights below, and for that reason storage works have been provided to giiartl against, any possilJle shortage clue to a low stage of the river. These storage works l i d i e the project 1witcticdy inclel)enclent of the condition of the river during tlie irrigation season. The hlinitlokn d u m is of the rock-fill type, suppleniented h - an earth fill on the upstream side, nncl is 650 feet long, averaging a1)out 50 feet in height. At its north end are locntecl the heavy concrete head gates for the nort,li-sitle ciinal system. A spillway of gravity concrete section, 3,400 feet long, extends across the river cliannel to the south l~ank, where i t is f l d i e t l by tlie hettrl-gate structure for the cnnal serving tlie lnntls lying on that side of tlie projetit. Adjoining the nortli-sitle lietit1 gates on tlie south is t>lie power station, rei-ently completed which with its prebent eqiiipiiient iq capable of generatin:: 9,OOC) horsepower, utilizing tlie lieatl of water created by tlie clam as the source of energy. This head is approxi- mately 4(j feet, ant1 power is generated by inems of fire turbine generators of the latest type. Power is fiirnislied also for coiiiriiercial prposes, heat, ancl light to tlie towns on the project a t very rensonnhle rates. Tliis power and liiiniping system constitutes tlie largest hydroelectric piiiiiping plant for irrigation in the world. Lake Walcott, formed hy the clirersion dam, is a very attractive body of water, 32 miles in length and froin one-lidf to 3 miles wide. By means of the piers con- structed on the crest, of the spi1lw:ty storage of ahout 55,000 acre-feet is effected in this 1:tke for w e durinq tlie low-water lwriod of tlie river. This, however, is merely supplementary to tlie storage at ,Tackson Lake, Wyo., on the hentlwiters of tlie Snake River, where a concrete darn of reenfortd type, now under construction, will impoiiml nearly -IOO,OO( 1 acre-feet of water. thus pro- viding for any possible contingency with refprence to a sliortnge of supply. Tlie construction of tlus dam will be sufIicient,ly advanced hy the season of 1911 to permit of siifticient storage for tlie project for that year. There are a t present t h e e towns on tlie project, Rupert, Heyburn, nncl Burle-. tlie two first, named being Government town sites, and all hearing s i p s of activity and prosperity. The Rliniclokn c ! Soil thwestern lirancli of the Oregon Short Line Rdroatl passes tliroiigh all these towns. Branch lines from Rupert to Bliss and from Burley to Onldey are under construction. With the ewelition of a comparatively small amount of State laiitl, as yet unsol~l, practicnlly all of the laud under this project lias heen filed upon or is in private ownership, and the clerelopnient of tlir trac t during the present season has been very rapid, iiidicatilig that within a few years this section of tlie Snake River Valley will undoubt- idly beconie a great agricultural center. 132 Deer Lodge.. .....
