MANY UNLAWFUL DIVERSIONS Engineer Kellogg Gives Valuable Data Upon Points Affecting Interests of Valley Irrigators. A most interesting exposition of the illegal diversions of water in Riverside county was made by Engineer Kellogg at the annual meeting of stockholders in the A. U. W. Co. on Saturday. Mr. Kellogg was called upon by the stockholders for an exposition of existing conditions up the river, and responded with an hour's address, imparting information of greatest interest to the meeting. It was known that illegal diversion of water is being practiced, and probably a suit will soon be brought to restrain these people from interfering with our rights. Mr. Kellogg's address showed where these diversions were, and therewith their value. He recommended, as an offset to these diversions and to losses caused by seepage, the construction of the Cajon canal, jointly by the two valley water companies, to Scully Point. He is probably the most competent engineer in the state to give data upon this question, and was listened to with closest attention. Mr. Kellogg gave a general description of the investigations up the river, including a history of the diversions from the base of the San Bernardino mountains to the intake of the main canal, and recommendations for the further development of water. Beginning at the upper end he divided the river bed through the interior valley combined developments draught on the basin width that they are pumping. The total outflow from the 900 inches. The next is the River tending from Colton to point about four miles wide, at the intake of a power canal. Original inches of surface water from the river in this bottom lands by the Truss Rubidoux ditch, the Fili Hall ditch and the Blo Owing to the draining from the Colton basin, and now pumped, and in addition side company is pumping into their lower canal. All pumping plants are pumping the north side of the drainage into the basin mated at 400 inches. The drain has reduced the average Narrows, which the has been about 2000 inches 15 years, to 1400 inches; the measurements for years. This very notice and the largely increase of irrigation around River cause of alarm to the irrigancies of this valley; a direction of the attorney series of investigation has on, beginning in the early summer of 1905 by Mead Purcell, and continued summer under my super year the measurements Rincon basin, but this attorneys were of the opinion would be confined basin down to the head canal, the measurements these basins. Mr. Kellogg gave a general description of the investigations up the river, including a history of the diversions from the base of the San Bernardino mountains to the intake of the main canal, and recommendations for the further development of water. Beginning at the upper end he divided the river bed through the interior valley into a number of basins caused by the enlargement and contraction of the channel, designating them in order as the San Bernardino basin, Colton, Riverside and Rincon basins. "The San Bernardino basin is artesian," said Mr. Kellogg, "which is caused by a well-defined dyke which is impervious to water running parallel to the mountains. This basin forms an immense underground reservoir from which the following water systems get their supply: The Gage system, 1800 inches; Riverside system, 2700 inches; Riverside Highlands, 350 inches; Meeks & Daly, 800 inches; Colton Terrace, 100 inches; Rancheria, 100 inches; Bloomington, 300 inches; Vivienda, 250 inches; Mount Vernon, 100 inches. Total, 6500 inches. This water is storage from behind the dyke referred to, supplied by the flood-waters of the San Bernardino mountain and the north slope of what we call Old Baldy. "The draught has exceeded the supply, as evidenced by the fact that a large quantity has had to be pumped during the last two years, showing a lowering of the water-plane. This lowering of the water-plane led to a lawsuit between the people of the San Bernardino basin and above companies taking the water. They were non-suited however, because it was shown that all the surface water was diverted at the base of the mountains to irrigate Redlands, Grafton, Mentone, Highlands and Rialto. "The summer flow thus diverted runs from 4000 to 6000 inches, and the judge held that they were at least, a party even if a portion did come back by seepage. This illustrates the fact that we must exercise the most extreme care before going into a lawsuit, which accounts for our carrying the investigations over another year. The evidence of the change in conditions pro- series of investigation haunts beginning in the early summer of 1905 by Mee Purcell, and continued summer under my supervision year the measurements by Rincon basin, but this attorneys were of the opinion would be confined basin down to the head canal, the measurements these basins. "A number of wells will determine the fluctuation plane.

The summer flow thus diverted runs from 4000 to 6000 inches, and the judge held that they were at least, a party even if a portion did come back by seepage. This illustrates the fact that we must exercise the most extreme care before going into a lawsuit, which accounts for our carrying the investigations over another year. The evidence of the change in conditions produced by these developments were at hand; but the evidence of the extent and liability of the parties were not clear. "The next is the Colton basin, which has an extent or area of 4½ square miles, confined on the lower side by Slover mountain and the granite hills on the south. This is a deposit of sand and gravel about 130 feet in depth and has no artesian water. Its yield of water annually, if filled with floodwaters, is about 600 inches. What is known as the lower canal of the Riverside company, has its intake in this basin; and in 1888 the West Riverside company, representing a tract on the north-western side of the river from Riverside of 2000 acres, constructed an underground flume in the Colton basin, diverting about 600 inches of water. This dried up the Riverside canal and led to a lawsuit and the construction of similar works by the Riverside company. The matter was adjusted by giving the West Riverside people 350 inches and Riverside about the same amount. During the past three years the Stearns rancho, through Mr. Rogers, have enlarged the West Riverside canal and have begun to develop water in the Colton basin, with the intention of developing 500 inches. These lands and Rialto. "The summer flow thus diverted runs from 4000 to 6000 inches, and the judge held that they were at least, a party even if a portion did come back by seepage.

One gallon of o feet two coats, on rough wood work, L. spinied developments make an overnight on the basin with the result that they are pumping their water. Total outflow from this basin is now inches. The next is the Riverside basin, extending from Colton to the Narrows, about four miles west of River at the intake of the Riverside canal. Originally about 700 inches of surface water was diverted to the river in this basin onto the farm lands by the Trujilla ditch, the Doux ditch, the Filiister ditch, the ditch and the Bickmore ditch. Due to the draining of the water in the Colton basin, all this water is pumped, and in addition the River company is pumping 200 inches their lower canal, and a number of planting plants are pumping water on north side of the river from the蓄水 into the basin; amount estimated at 400 inches. This additional has reduced the average flow at Narrows, which the records show been about 2000 inches for the last years, to 1400 inches as shown by measurements for the last two. This very noticeable decrease in largely increased development irrigation around Riverside were the result of alarm to the irrigation companies of this valley; and under the vision of the attorneys an extensive investigation has been carried beginning in the early part of the year of 1905 by Messrs. Koebig & Will, and continued through this year under my supervision. Last the measurements included the basin, but this year as the keys were of the opinion that it would be confined to the upper down to the head of the power line the measurements only include basins. Fuller ditch, there would be 2400 inches at Auburndale bridge four miles below, 3400 inches at Rincon, and 2600 inches at the division gate. This lead to a more detailed investigation in 1901, which included a measurement at Scully point, as follows: Fuller ditch, 1600 inches; Anburndale bridge, 2400 inches; Rincon, 3050 inches; Scully Point, 3060 inches, and division gate 2700 inches. The above measurements show that the river-flow naturally decreases from head of power canal to head of Fuller ditch, and uniformly increases to Rincon, is uniform to Scully point, and loses 300 inches from Scully point to the division gate, a distance of three-quarters of a mile. This shows that at least 300 inches of water can be gained by extending the canal to Scully point. I know of no other chance to develop water cheaper. I am of the opinion that a careful investigation will show that 300 inches more can be developed by the construction of good head works. This work will have to be done jointly with the S. A. V. I. Co. The board of directors of the two companies were over this entire field this fall, and these questions were freely discussed. The directors of the S. A. V. I. Co. expressed a willingness to meet this company fairly and said they were for further improvement, and the stockholders instructed them to proceed with these investigations. A resolution has since been passed by the boards of both companies to make further investigation at Scully point as being the next step in line with the development of their water resources. "Another interesting fact has been of investigation has been carried beginning in the early part of the year of 1905 by Messrs. Koebig & Full, and continued through this year under my supervision. Last year the measurements included the basin, but this year as the keys were of the opinion that it would be confined to the upper down to the head of the power line the measurements only include basins. A number of wells were bored to examine the fluctuations of water daily measurements have been made of these wells, and also of the sections of water and the pumping plant, and a report is now being prepared being a compilation of the work, noting the amount of water being digged by each company or ditch, and hands irrigated, and also all of the pumping plants, about twenty-nine number. A complete set of accompanying this report, showing location of all the important sites. The original maps are to be taken from the vault of one of the Anaheim companies and a copy to be placed with company. Continuing the history of the relief of the Santa Ana river from the Riverside power canal to take of the main canal, the following measurements show some very interesting conditions. Measurements in 1896: 2000 inches at head of canal, 1000 inches about four below, above the Fuller ditch; 300 inches at canal intake. Measures in 1900 show that when were 1600 inches at head of the expressed a willingness to meet this company fairly and said they were for further improvement, and the stockholders instructed them to proceed with these investigations. A resolution has since been passed by the boards of both companies to make further investigation at Scully point as being the next step in line with the development of their water resources. "Another interesting fact has been shown by the construction of the River-side Power canal which extends from the Narrows down a distance of six miles, emptying into the river just above the Fuller ditch. As shown by the measurements already given the surface flow of the river was about 400 inches less at the lower end before the construction of the canal. It has been in operation three years and there has at all times been at least 300 inches flowing in the river above the point of discharge of the canal. The loss in the canal by seepage is about 100 inches; therefore this diversion augments the flow of the river 600 inches at the lower point where it empties into the river. From this illustration we draw the inference that extending a canal to Rincon to take the surface water in the summer and gathering up the water again at Scully point, something like 600 inches of water could be added, making a total development by the extension of the canal to Scully point and building a canal to Rincon of 1000 inches. A fall for power could be obtained of 50 feet, the value of which would easily pay interest on the investment." A Boston schoolboy was tall, weak and sickly. His arms were soft and flabby.
