The Missouri basin alone covers parts of ten states and of the Dominion of Canada. As the Missouri is the longest tributary of the Mississippi which may any year as it has this year contribute materially to disastrous floods in the lower Mississippi valley, a continuous study and authoritative record of its flow is considered of This prime engineering importance. work has been carried on by the Geological Survey of the Department of the Interior in the Missouri river basin for the last 20 years. The Missouri, like other rivers, varies greatly in discharge from day to day, from season to season, and even from year to year, as a result of variations in the quantity, and intensity of the rainfall. It is therefore an engineering necessity to collect systematic records over a long series of years in order to disclose the extremes of daily and annual discharge, which must be reliably known as a basis for all economic development that involves the use of the river and its tributaries. These records are published annually to make them of the greatest possible value to the public. The Geological Survey, in cooperation with states concerned, maintained in the Missouri river basin during the year ending September 30, 1923, some 210 gaging stations, at most of which were obtained records of the daily flow of the river and its tributaries. These data have just been published in Water Supply Paper 566, which is largely statistical and covers 360 pages. This report may be purchased from the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., for 50 cents. It shows that the highest stage of the Missouri at Leavenworth, Kansas, the farthest down stream gaging station on the river, during this year gave a flow of 344,000 cubic feet -, a second in July, whereas the er flow was only 8,400 cubic feet a second in December. The ultimate source of the Missouri is in Red Rock lakes, 6,700 feet above sea level in the southwestern corner of Montana. The discharge from these lakes, flowing in turn down the Red Rock, Beaverhead, and Jefferson rivers and thence down the Missouri proper, travels 2,945 miles before It reache.s the mouth of the Missouri at St. Louis, a distance considerably New York to greated than that from San Francisco. An additional journey of nearly 1,300 miles is required before this water finally reaches the Gulf of Mexico. Along its great length the flow of the Missouri is augmented at lf low-wat- OAK FURNACE.
