The central piirtiim of Manitoba ai'ts as a eoliei-l- 111(7 basin for the watirs from an iminen>e ilrainavre area. This vast area e.xtends from the It if'.iy m mntains praefirally as far I'astwaid as laUe Superior; it also eiinprises a fjreat iioiliori of the Northern States and reaches into the northerly lands of We-- tern Canada. As thi's;i wjitcrs reach tlie central port, ni of thi' province, a li.'orcsion i iirs between the prairie- sti'piies and the Lanrentian iilatean, thronjrh which an extiiisivi' fall is available for power devdoiiment. Lake Winnipef; forms the reservoir into which i.s collected praetieally all the rnn-otT from the above desi-ribcd draiiui^'e ana.

From the ab;)Ve it is aiiparent that thi' major portion of thi' \u wers throni;hoiit till' basin are eoneentrated within the lower portion of tin t'l-idarly in ilaniti b i. The iiowers are n itnrally se;)aratcil into two divisions, viz., tlinse occiirrins; on the rivers draiiiinc; into lake Winnip(>ir, which are sitnateci in the older or sonthern jmr- tion of the province, and secondly, t'lc purrs wliidi occnr in the nortliern i)ortioii lyin? in the di-aiTnnro fnim lake Winnipefr. I'nder these two divisions the estimated powers of the prni-ince are tabnlateil below. It shinild be noted that while, on inan.v rivers, possible i)ower cuncentrations have heiMi investigated and an estimate of the available power is tiven for various sites, yet a.s future investi(.'ation.s will show, further power may be available on such river.s.

In n like ma'iicr, rainfall records in a drainaKC b.isin in which no discharire measurements lue available can be used for the estimation of the flow bawd on the rainfiiU and run-off records of an adjacent i;rea. ThrouKhout the southern portion of the province of Manitoba, rainfall rcii.rds have bceu obtained by the .MeteoroloRieal liurciiu ..f the Marine and Fisheries Uriuirt- inent of I'auada, and these records are tabulated for the various stations on I'liito Xo. 1. It is wf !l known tiint llic precipitation not cnly shows a variation from season to se'\son, but also that a reconl extendius over a short period of years is not sufficient to give the m \ annual rainfall, but rather that for this mean a period of cycle of I'.ns term s!u,..icl be considered. .\s the stations throughout the province at which ..nff-terin record'' liave been obtained arc not numerous, it is necessary to carry out snine system of compensation for the shorter records of the adjacent stations. As ig shown on the curves on plates No. i and Xo. .", the records of the rainfall at the Imin- tenn stations, shown separately for the eastern and western portions of the province, have the same jreueral features from period to period. AssuniiuK that the intermediate stations of shorter terms will also ranjfc in a like manner from periorls of heavy to those of li>!ht precipitation in the f ears as at the lotiK-tcrm stations, the prfibable liitio of thc'^e .-hort-term records to that of a lonff term f.r the same station, has been based on the ratio of the precipitation at nn ai:i'\i!i\ii \r (,i Tin: niF.ninii 4 GEORGE V, A t-omiieiisatcil ro>iilts. the |,„-,ti,,„ „r i;,,, ■ i i .... ;:;;::!::,;lf rf '"' " r • '- '"' - "^cir;;:;:,;;:-:..- ;:' ,„ ;;■ - ;- 1^^^' ;^:;»"'".:";ii;.::;:.:,i;;-,;:?;;.;:::--f '■- ' ■• < ■ •■■ KvAI'Oli VriclN. evapuratmn .k.p..n.JiMii „|m,„ innnv tVt„r 1, ul'l ^ •"•'■'H 'M .l,.rs o«.,ir i, I'i.^.Hn,,. i- w,.ll known '• ""■"'• ■•""' ""*■■' "' -■•'-"■'• -■"•"< "-' P ;l:i:s'i:";:r,.-;:';;:'^:,r:,,:r 'i^f:i;'="^ "'">«■' li.n .i»„,ii,v i,„.i„,i,,i ,i„. „.„■... . :r J , "'""'" ■'"""■'■ ' .■..;i::i;:.,:::;l:vr'!-;;:,''S-:rr,;:^::!';;t:;';-.::"r,";: ■ Ill \n| I. --■■■- <■-•'• n,i ,„■ ,.',:;;!,.■:,;:::;,.;;,;:;-;; t:r:,'-,i;r .'■'i'"^: "??■ '"■ srivoa raiiid nm-ntr ,„■ nf I.,m- Ivl, ,r " n thci ,,f slopmt' land toiid im .M,if„nn.'and aL ci :Zz::'::zriTT ir'\ ";" f"-- '^ '-- - yani to .,n-o,r „r stn.n;;!::; ^ ".^ n w':'.;!:;;;::;;;:/:'' -'i^"'-'--''"^' - r-.ont t,m. to obtain tho oxtn,no tl,„.t.Mtion TI,o r ,, , ' n '^' *'"'"'*'' '•'"' ^• ■■Mly from ..oaso„ to soa.on.

I l)elicve. plain to-da beyond ser.ous question that all of the remai.iinp orportmiities for power shouli l.e carefully conserved and only developed un.lcr such conditions as will i,„ necessitate any great waste or the impairment of remaining opportunities. Sundry remarkable electro-chemical proces.ses have been very recontl' invented, which promise to be of great future benefit to agrie.ilture'and othe arts. I'crt.h/er for farmers' use is now liei.ig successfullv made by electrieif f.-..n. tlie i,it.-ogen of the air. and great water-powers in Norway are .low bei.ii deve oihmI for these purposes in addition to those already in use, and rccen develnpmcnts have also been made of similar processes not far from the southerr boundary of Tanada. ■ The great uses of li.vdro-electric power at Niagara falls and at the Sault for m.iking aluminum, carbide for gas lighti.ig. bleaching powders, a.id caustic soda and sundry other important products, were unknown onlv a few vears ago l.idp(d. ,t may be sai.l that every one of the electro-chemical processes no« located at Niairara falls has been invented since the first of the large hydro electr..' powcr st.itions was built at that point, ft is idle to sav that the er.i ot important electro-chemical invc.tion is yet more than begun and, with the niauy able .uvotmators no'v earnestly workin- on these lines in manv part' of tbe worl.l. great additional discoveries and commercial developments in the iipiilication of cheap electric power are almost sure to come, particularlv in metallurgy, or the reduction of ores.

Fertilizer, in the form of artitii'ial saltpetre, is l)einK i>ro earhide. iMrlH>rundiiiu, alum- inum and numerous other useful products are beiiut nindc by electro-chemical means in great (luantit.v at Niagara and elsewhere, and sooner or later the time will come when fertilizers will not he scorned by the farmers of the Canadian Northwest. There is promise of new metallurgli'al processes for which elec- tricity is a necessity, and the price per pound of several of these products is such that they could stand a considerable cost of freighting to their markets, and such that a power capable of being developed in so vast quantity at one point and at so low a cost per horse-power as appears pracfi<'able at thrive nt the sites along the Winnipeg river, will surely be very .ittractive.' ' Thexe Xi'w Indiistrii'x miixt Lornli- (^Insc to tlie Wdti r /■'«//. -These elec- tro-chemical processes, when carried '.n in the large commercial way. demand that the work be done close to the point where the power is generated, for two reasons: First, because although the air-saltpetre process uses altertuititig (Mir- rent, most electro-chemiiiil proci^-ses ri'ipiire the direct ctirrent iit low voltage which cannot be transmitted to great distances with anything like the facility of alternating current; and second, beca\ise, in order to attract these processes, it is necessary that the cost per horse-jiower be the very lowost and not over- loaded by the cost of long transmission lines or the percentage of power neces- sarily lost in such transmission. ' Wherever a new iridustiial centre, with some hinulred- of homes, can be estal)lished in the wilderness within a hundred miles of Winnipeg, it will add to Winnipeg's prosperity in a degree but little less than if located within it- borders, and will add to the prosperity of the iirovince by fhi' new opportunitic..; that it brings for employment, the diversity that it adds to its l)usiness inti're>i< and by the mone.v that it will put inrr eircul; tion. It is plain that man.y of the recent power developments made in various parts of America, from which the power is transmitted long distances ti- displace steam power in populous cen- tres, results in putting a much larger number of men out of work than it set'^ at work. Such a development is of less benefit to the country than the early water-power developments which are used locally in ideating the cities already named, in building huiulreds of new homes and in setting thousands of men working at new opportunities.' ^^-'^ .J^ Jgl^, 0( :S*ifi s«pr-.3o 1913 C1063 StBf^r-wm itnfFr*.

Tho Kospiiu river is tlu IutkcM tril)iit:ir.v eiitoriii- tli.' l!oiiifc' to the west of tlic Lalic of tho \Vn<,. and it joins the Ked river apiiroximutely ten miles north of >ame. The geuerul direction of the river is northwest, and simihir to the Kod river it- course is very wimlin^' throughout its length. I 11.- llIMJt II.VSIN. The drainage basin of the river coverw nn area of 19-iT square miles, KUtT of which are in the Slate of .Minnesota, the bnlnnce, S(tO. beinir in Manitoba. The greater part of this area is flat land, that in tin' upper reaches beinff such that it was impossible to cnltivate the same wifh.iit artiticial drainaire. In connec- tion -.vith this worii, forty miles of the npper sertion of the river in Minnesota has been straightened and widened to ei;:hty feet, ami the land op either side for a con- siderable distance drained into same, with ditchi- spaced one mile apart. The effect of thi- ilrainaue i- shown in the lower re-.u-hes of the river by the rapid rise aiiparent diirinir times of heavy rainfall. i". — nrt) VM) Banks. The course of the river from its source to its mouth lies through level country, with no iierceptiblo valley of any extent. The banks cut sharply down from the prairie level to the bed of the stream. The nature of these banks is stated to be invariably a heavy clay, which material also forms the l)ed of the river. The height of these banks varies from ten to twelve feet. D. — TIMBER AND VKOETATIO.V. A large percentage of the land throughout the drainage basin of the ri\er in the province of Manitoba is cultivated, and there is a very small amount of standiiiL' firaler. What there is consists mostly of small elm, ash and oak, very little of which is large enough to have commercial value e.tcept as firewood. :*S 9.fi E. — SETTLEMENTS. In the course of the river throiich Manitoba, three settlements are met with. The first located close to the head-waters is the villasre of Spragiie on the ■Ridgeville branch "f the C.N.R. The second is Stuartburn, on the same line of railroad. The third is Hominion City, located at the crossing of the f.F.R., Emerson branch. These vil- l.ifres are .-ill small, the larfrest being Dominion City, with a po]mlation of about two hundred. F. — Ri:X-OFF. (a) A'am/oW.— From rainfall records of the northern part of Minnesota covering a period of thirty years and at Oak Hank, to the north of the drainage area, covering a period of twcnty-two years, it is found thai the mean annual preci|iitation in the watershed of the Roseau is 22 inches.

Siiiee the commR o the railroads, however, river traffic eould not .•..uiii.'te with this faster mode of trans portatioii, and has gradually died out.

These floorls arc caused by the release of the water held in ( form of snow and ice in the warmer southern reaches of the river some time prevu to the break-up in the colder sections near the mouth. As it reaches the section of i river where the break-up has not yet taken place, this water, not being able to obt, easy egress, barks up and frcpicntlv forces the stage of the river to a height of .M nn feet above normal water level. .T. — WATKK-rOWER.

At this station sixteen di>iha'-i.'o moasuremenl:. wore taken durinir a year's observations. The results of those measurements arc slxiwn in table Xn. .1."i. This station was aban- doned in the spring of tho present year to escape tho possibility of backwater cfTocts from the closing of the dam at the St. Andrew's locks. There are at present three frauging stations located on the river, which wore established by tho Manitoba Ilydro- grapliie Survey. The first of th(>so, established in tho spring i>f 1013. is located at the C.l'.K. bridge at Hoadingly. fourteen miles west of the city of Winnipeg. Since llie installation of this station there have been fourteen discharge lueMsurements made, tho result of which are showu in table Xo. ."i.'l Daily gauge roadinu's have also been made and a record of those, with the estimated daily discharges, will be found in ta'.le No. 54. The second station is located in the city of Brandon at the First stroi't traffic Iridgp. It was established in July of 1012. and since that time continuous observations have been carried on. A record of the dis<'hargo ineasurciiients made durin...;" that time will be found on tables No. 40 and No. M. and the daily gauge heights with their c-timatod dail^v discharges are recorded in taldos No. .'1 and No. ."2. The third station, located at the village of Millwood, was established in October if 1012, on the traffic bridge below the ohl dam and. during the year, eight discharge Tuoasuroments were taken, the results of which are shown in table No. 47. The dail. gauge height records, with estimated daily discharges, are given in table No. 4**. ■•w^ ■ 2wv3nm-t£ : Jtrnt^f^r^ Aus«iim m 1«t nFPARrut:s'r of rut: istkhior 4 GEOROE V, A, 1914 I HIOII *NO LOW rLOW. ■Ih.. riv.r. .i>.rin« the .prin« frc^hcU, i. liable to l«r«.- variation, in .taKo ami during hi i^Jnt vn.r a v,.ri,.ti..n of twelv foot hnH boon noto,! between the exl ome rri'ow" or level.

B. — KIVER BASIS'. SiuKoosh lake, which lies in the northerly part of the Duck mountains, is statinl to be the source of the river. From this lake the flow is in a southwesterly direction to East Angling lake, into which the tributary drainage from Laurie and West Angl- ing lakes enti'rs from the north. From East Angling lake the river tlows southerly a distance of some 10 miles, and then bends in an easterly direction, continuing this latter course until it empties into lake Danpliin. Near the easterly bend. Short crc-k, which rises in Riding Mountain Forest reserve and drains several small lakes, enters the Valley river from the west. Below this the main drainage to the river enters from the north, chief among the tributaries being the Drifting river, which joins the Valley river some three miles west of Valley river station on the Canadian .Northern r:\ilway. C. — .NATLRE OF BKD AND BANKS. Tu the rciiches below the Duck Mountain Forest reserve the river flows in the valley lying between the Duck and Riding mountains, the banks vary in hci).'ht from 15 to <^a feet, while the width of the 1: it torn land ranges from 700 to l'.kOO feet, widening in some few places to 3.00;) f..c!. The river at ordinary summer stages has a width vary- ing from 100 to 200 feet; the banks are composed of .vellow clay overlying a bed of aravel and boulders. Investigations carried on at several points in that iiortinn of the river lying between (Jilbert Plains and Valley River station, have shown a ilcpth of clay varying from fi to 30 feet overlying the gravel strata. The bcil of the river is I'l' uravcl, stre.vn with boulders. n. — TiMiii:ii Axn M:or.T\TioN-.

The Mossy river, which rises ii. lake Dauphin, and is some 21 miles in length, discharRes into the southerly end of lake Winnipegosis. B. — OKNKRAL niRKCTIOS. Heading in the extreme northerly portion of lake Dauphin, the river flows in a westerly course for a distance of two miles. It then bends in a northerly direction, rutaininn this li-.tter course to the mouth. I .— HIVKK BASl.W With the exocption of the Fork and Fishing rivers, whioh enter the Mossy from the west, the drainage of the buMii is collected by If ko Dauphin. Discharging into this lake arc the Vallev, Turtle, Ochre, Wilson and Vermilion rivers. Fiiese rivers, which head in many small lakes and muskegs in the Riding and Duck mountains. How in a general easterly course to the lake. The upper watershed in the mountains .•oniprises a hilly or rolling country which is well timbered, while the lower and greater portion of the basin is uii.lulating prairie, covered m many places with a growth of willows. In this prairie section, whi.-li is very fertile, grain growing and mixed farniintr are carried on extensively. I>. —NATlHli l)K BANKS. The banks of the Mossy var.v in height from four to fourteen feet, and are coin- ,>.,sc.l of l.lu,. or yellow clny overlying a b(xl of Hue gravel. Approximately, li miles above lake Winnipegosis, an (.ut to 2(M) feet, with an average ..f \m feet. The bed of the stream is coinpos.Ml ,.f sand and gravel, with numerous boulders occurring in certain localities. The channel has been improved by dredging and by the removal of boulders, practically eliminating all rapids. Due to sand bars, very shallow water occurs at the entrance to the river at lake Dauphin and also at the mouth of the Win.;ipegosis. F.— TIMBER AND VKOKTATION. 'lo the west of the Mossy, the land is well settled, and fertile fields devoted to tbc •Towth of wheat, oats, barley and root crops border on the river. Farming is not car- ried on to the same extent east of the river, the greater portion of the land being covered with a growth of willows and poplar. a.— HIGH AND LOW W.\TKR. High water usually (K-curs in April and early May at the time of the spring break- up. Heavy rains in the head-waters also give rise to high water during later periods of the year. It is stated that in the .vcar lOOJ extreme high water occurred, beiiiL- I niAJT vat JMISV xa34 N, ^NO'J.VASTa MlXiroUA HI 7 i'«-/'0 WEHS 139 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e Mmi.' six IWt liiifhcr than tlie ordinary sttiKcs of the river level.

Land surrounding the Meadou 1 orta^e has been subdivided and is partially settled. I,._Si KVEYS OF WATERIIEN UlVEll AND MEA1X)W POUTAr.E. The countrv in the vicinity of Meadow Portajre has been subdivided by Dominion Land Survey. In 18S!) the (Jeolosioal Survey of Canada made a geological survey ot the district, including the Waterhen river. A survey of Meadow I'ortage was mad slightly previous to the year 1909 by the Dominion Department of Public ^\"rk .h.l in the vear 10O9 further investigations were carried en by the same department. In the summer of 19K! a reconnaissance survey of Meadow Portage was made hy he Manitoba Power Survey, with ifr. D. P. Gow in charge of the tield P" t>- ^^^ t^^ same time, investigations were made as to the location of dam s tes »" the upper Waterhen rivers, as it would be necessary to divert the waters from this out.et for ,> v complete development in the vicinity of Meadow Portage. M. — HEAU AVAILABLE. The difference in elevation between the two iakes on August 26, 1913, as deter- mined by the Manitoba Power Survey, was 18-6 feet. The water m both lakes at the time was stated locally to be at a high stage. As published m the Geological Survey Report of 1889-91, the difference in elevation m 18*3 was found by Mr. H. a. bmith, C. E., to be 18-73 feet, and later, in 1889, a determination of 17-4 feet was made by ^' ^D^^trstorms on the lakes, considerable variation in this drop is quite probable It is stated that a severe storm from the northwest is capable of raising the waters at the southerly end of the lake Winnipegosis to an extent of three feet. Evidences o such an effect were noted, after a severe storm, by the Manitoba Power Survey. At the same time, a lowering of the northern waters of lake Manitoba occurs, but of a decidedly smaller range than in the upper lake. N W ATER- POW ER . As stated previously, a low flow of 5,000 second-fcct has been assumed for th.> Waterhen river. This, together with an approximate head of 15 feet (both of whicl, figures are subject to revision) would, on a basis of 80 per cent efficiency, show :, power possibility of 6,807 horse-power. O. — STORAGE POSSIBILITIES. Lake Winnipegosis, which acts as the collecting basin for the entire drainag. area, offers immense storage possibilities. It has an area, exclusive of islands, o some 2,000 square miles. While storage would be possible on this lake, ihe effect o- •mv raising of the waters would have to be considered with reference to any low-lyin- areas bordering on the lake. The following table has been computed i.i uraer tu sho: the possibilities of additional flow and power from such storage under the foUow.nv headings: (o) the flow in cubic feet per second for a storage utilized i;. a period o six months' (h) the power av.iil.ible from this flow based on a 15 foot head at 80 pr- -'iiu— lOi i 1/ 180 ItEPARTMK^iT OF THE INTERIOR 4 GEORGE v., A. 1914 cent efficiency; (c) the flow in oiibio feet per second fo. a storage utilized in a period of a year; (d) the power available based on the same conditiitiS as in (b).

A. — location and general direction. The Fairford and Dauphin rivers (see plate No. 19), form tho connection between lake Manitoba arid lake Winnipeg. Heading in lake Manitoba at almost the extreme northeasterly comer, the Fairford river flows in a northeasterly direction and enters the westerly end of lake St. Martin. This latter lake is discharged by the Dauphin river which heads in the northeast comer of the lake, and flows almost due north for a distance of 14 miles. A sharp bend to the east then occurs in the river and thi^; latter course is held throughout to the mouth, which enters Sturgeou bay on the we?t shore of lake Winnipeg. D. — RIVER basin. Lake Manitoba, with an area of 1,711 square miles, acts as a collecting basin for practically all the drainage carried by this system of rivers. In general terais, the an :i drained is that land lying to the east of the Manitoba escarpment, together with thoi-.' portions of the plains tributary to tho Swan and Red Deer rivers. While the upper reaches of the watershed extend into the Riding, Duck and Porcupine mountain-, where the country is hilly and to a great extent covered by a fore-'t growth, yet tli.> greater portion of the area is a slightly undulating prairie. The soil for the mo-f part is an agricultural clay overlying beds of gravel, with occasional roo'c outcrop-. Numerous lakes occurring in the drainage vary in size from mere ponds to lakes cf great extent, such as lakes Winnipegos-s and Manitoba. In the mountain district. the lakes, though numerous, are small in size. In the centre! portion of the basin three larger lakes occur, lake Dauphin with an area of 196 square miles. Swan lake with an area of 121 square miles, and Red Deer lake of some 100 square miles. The^e latter lakes, together with many streams, empty into lake Winnipegosis which has an area of 2,000 square miles. The Waterhen river, forming the connecting link in the drainage system between lake Winnipegosis and lake Manitoba, flows in a ' V shay.: \ MANITOBA WATER-POWERS 151 SESSIONAL PAPER No. 25e course across a narrow neck of land separating these two lakes. While considerable adjacent territory drains .nto lake Manitoba, yet the only other tributary of any size is the Whitemud river. From the outlet of the lake to the mouth of the Dauphin river in Sturgeon bay, no streams of any extent are tributary to the river system. C. — NATURE OF BAVKS. For the first three miles the banks of the Fairford river are well defined, varying n^^T^ u° ^^ ^^^^ "' *''^'*^''*' reaching a maximum in the immediate vicinity of the C.N.R. bridge at Fairford station. Below this point the banks become gradually lower, opening out into a wide expanse of low marshy land, which merges into a Bi.Ptch of water known as lake Pinemuta. After leaving this lake, the banks range trom 2 to .3 feet in height, but again merge into swampy shores as lake St. Martin is approached. Throughout, the banks are composed of light grey clay, in which a few boulders are imbedded. Where the Dauphin river leaves lake" St. Martin, the banks are poorly defined, low-lying meadows, subject to overflow in periods of high water, merge into the timber line about one-half mile from the other side of the channel. The banks, which are composed of sandy clay and which vary in height from one-half foot to t\yo feet, present this same general appearance for the first 11 miles of river; at this distance from the lake, the river cuts through a sandy -idge running in an east-and-west direction, and of a maximum height of some 8 feet. For the following 12 miles, to a point on the river where rapids occur, the banks become higher, ranging from 1 to 6 feet in height, though in many places giving way to swampy indentations, from the rapids to Sturgeon bay there is a range of from 5 to 32 feet. At numerous places in this lower reach, limestone ridges cross the bed of the river, and rock out- crops are visible in the sandy soil of the banks. D WIDTH OF niVEB AND NATURE OP BOTTOM. The Fairford river varies in width from .500 to 900 feet. It is stated that the river is shallow in the vicinity of lake Manitoba, whore it flows over a bed of lime- stone. About one-half mile below this a small rapids is caused by n bed of limestone and gneiss boulders; this same feature is also noticeable in the lower portion of the river. The Dauphin river, which has an average width of 4.50 feet, is in places slightly narower than the Fairford. The river bed for the first 11 miles is sandy and seem'- mgly free from large boulders, but below this gravel bars and boulder-strewn bottom are encountered, both of which give rise to numerous rapids. Outcroppings of lime- stone are also found in this lower reach of the river. K. — minER AND VKOETATION-. The Fairford Indian reserve borders on the Fairford river, nnd the banks for a short distance in the immediate vicinity have been cleared of timber. Bevond this IS a thick growth of poplar. Along the Dauphin river the greater portion of the land is covered with a dense growth of poplar, spruce, maple, oak and birch, yet at the same time large areas of low-lying swamp land and hay meadows are scattered throughout the course of the river. With the exception of some fields devoted to root crops along the Fairford river, farming is not carried on to any extent in this district F. — HIGH AND LOW WATER. High water usually comes in the latter part of April and the early part of ;. ,v. while February is the nonth of low water.

Navigation on the Dauphin river is also possible for small steamers m early sum- mer, but acordimr to loc'al information the river is treacherous, due to eontmua ,.lain«o of ••hannel. The only point at which the river system i.s accessible by railro.-l is at Fairford, where the ('. N. My. have n bri.lne s|ianiiini-' the river. While no railroa.l lies in the imm.-diato vicinity of the Dauphm river, v. ^t steamers ,,lvin.' on lak,. Winnipeir navijiate to the mouth of the river in Sturgeon bay. I. — SKTTM'..MKNTS. Out.-ide of the settlements in the Indian reserve, only tw,. settlements are lo.-iited in the district, one of those bein^ at Fairford. which is one-half mile from the L NK. crossinp of the Fairford. river, and the other settlement is at Sturgon bay. At this latter place a fish hatchery was constructed by the DepaUment of Marine and Fish- eries during the year 191:!. J. — St HVKVS. A gec.ogieal rcconiuiissanee was made of the rivers in 1889 and 1890 by the Gcoh.«;cal Survey of Canada. Surveys at the .ndipn reserve on the Fairford river have also been made by the Department of Indian Affairs. Tn order to secure data for the improvement of navigation on the Fairfonl river, survevs extending over the years 1898, 1908, 1910 and 1910 have been made by the Dominion Department of Public Works. In September and October, 191.3 a recon- naissance survev of the power possibilities of the river system was made by ah. »3« 3A09V ia-aj ni «NOiivAna « * .

On the rich nioadow land of this district, grain growing and farming arc carried on extensively. F.— HIGH AND LOW WATLK. Tlio latter part of April is usually the period of high water, while February is the low-water ! nth. In the year lOl.'], a nniKe of some 4 feet was reeorded between the two extremes. G. TRANSPORTATION'. Due to many beds of boulders in the river, navigation is impossible. The river is aceessiblo, however, by old trails, and is also crossed by the Canadian Northern railwiiy at the town of Swan Iliver. A branch line of this railway parallels the course of the river for a considerable distance above the town. H. — SETTLEMENTS. The country is essentially an agricultural district, and is well settled. The town of Swan River, which is the commercial centre, is the most important settlement, though many smaller settlements occur throughout the district. 1. — SIKVKYS OF THE RIVER. The Geological Survey of Canada made a geological survey of the river and the surrounding territory in the year 1889. In the year 1909, Messrs. Pratt and Ross, hydriulic engineers, investigated the power possibilities of the river in the vicinity of the town of Swan River, and reported upon a possible power development. A gauging station was later established on the river on October 24, 1912, by the Manitoba Ilydropraphic Survey. J. — RIN-OFF. (o) Precipitation.— ^o complete records of precipitation are available for this basin, but it is estimated tliit the annual mean is some nineteen inches. (6) Discharge Measurements. — Discharge measurements have been made by the Manitoba Ilydrographic Survey near the town of Swan River since October 24, 1912, th • results of tliis work being given in table No. 65. As shown by the estimated daily discharges in tables No. 00 and No. 67 the minimiin. floiv for the year 1913 to October 31, was 50 second-feet, while a flood dischar re during the same period amounted to 4,800 second-feet. K. — WATER-POWER. No iiebl survey has been made of the power possibilities of the river though it is knowi that considerable fall does occur throughout the extent of the river. At the junction of Snake creek with the Swan river, some 18 miles west of the Manitoba boundary, the elevation of the river bed, as obtained from preliminary lines of the Canadian Pacific railway, is 1,390 feet above sea-level, while Swan lake is at an elevation of Sd5 feet. This would indicate a drop of 535 feet in an approximate distance of 100 miles of river. In 1909, Messrs. Pratt and Ross reported on a pos- sible power concentration of some 14 feet head in the vicinity of the town of Swan River. Based on the estimates of flow for the year ending October 31, 1913, the fol- 160 /)K/'.t/f/.MK.Vr OF THh: ISTERIOR 4 GEORGE V, A. 1914 l„wi,.g tal.le Kiv.-s the power availal.le ,kt foot head at an SO per cent offieionoy. and i« ,.,„Mputod for a low flow of 50 socon.l-f«.t. and al.o for t ho low^^t month!, moan flow ,,r.O sooond-f.ot) for the period of 7 months from April to (Moln^r.

I. — STOBAUE POSSIBILITIES. No field iuvestigation has as yet been made of the storage possibilities of this river. As many small lakes are situated in the upper drainage, storage should be available, and of sufficient extent to greatly increase the low flow of the river. Red Deer lake, with an area of 100 square miles, offers facilities for a regulation to a con- siderable extent of the flow from Red Deer lake to lake Winnipego^iis. As an indica- tion of the flow available from a one or two-foot storage on a lake of this size, the following tabic has been prepared. The rates of draft in second-foot are computed for a storage being used in a mouths or a year period: — Rei> Dker Lakk. D.ptli ot Su,r;iK''. Ciiiurity in Hilliun Cii. ft. Kat.' o! Dnift li iiiontlis.

I). — WIDTH OF HlVKIl AND NATlUi; Ob' HANKS. The river iu Y .nitoba has an averapo width of about 1,000 feet; a n.inimuin « Idtl, .f a,n.roxin.aiel,v 500 feet occurs in Grand rapid., widcni-u. to 2.100 fee below the rapid . Fron> the Manitoba b,.un.h,ry to Cedar lake the nver has a mud-nnd-j:r.n. botton.. with the occurrence of shifting bars, l.i the rea-he.s below tins ^C'^t'-'^ho bed of the river at variou.s rapid.s is composed of limestone, while many beds oi boulders oceur in the intervening spares. i;.— TiMni;ii and vkoktation. A valuable tin.ber growth oe.M.rs a slight distance above T.e Pas. but from the^ to Cedar lake the growth is stunted; and while a dense growth occurs «>•"»'>; "^^^ Cedar i.,Hl Cross lakes, yet the timber occurring b.'low tins is largely of second gro^^th. F.— IIKlll AN'D LOW WATICR. Hi.'h water usually comes durin- the months of July and August, while low NU.ter .„..u,.s in the winter months, the river reaehin,' ^^^ l-'^^\':t'^"V''lVl,%r while March. At Le Pas the range between these two periods is ord.nardy some ^5/«f ' ^7""^ at (irand Rapids the ran^e is gradually lessened, be.n,' ordinarily from 4 to 5 ect with an extreme of some feet. During the spring break-up the field ice of lake Whinipeg occasionally becomes jammed at the mouth of the river, damnung the out.et and causing a rise at the lake of from 12 to 15 feet. C._NAVIG.VrlON AND ACCKSSIBII.ITY. The Saskatchewan is naviu-able above Grand rapids, the IIudson;s Bay Co. havin.- at one period run steamers as far upstream as Edmonton. The river "* Pre^nit i> navigated by gasolene launches from Le Pas to Cedar lake. It is accessible U rail- road at Le Pas, and also by steamer at the mouth. TI. — SKTTI.K^IKNTS. With the ex.-eption of Le Pas. no settlements of any size o.cur iu the lo^vet reach!.' of the river! A ITudsoii-s Bay post is situated at Cedar lake and a small settle- ment o<'furs at Grand Rapids. I. — >ri)\r.vs w t:ii; nivru. In ISS!. Dr. Otto Klot. made a traverse of the river. The late P. E.

A. Forward at I.e I'as, and also at (Jrand rapids. This was followed by measurements made by the late William Ogilvie in the year 1911 at (iraiid rapids. On Ausrust 8. 1912, a {rauf^'ing station was cstablislied at (irand rapids by the Afanitoba Ilydrographic Survey, and on October 21 of the same j'car. a second station was established at Le Pas. The results of discharse measurements made at those stations are iriven in tables No. 72 to 79. It is estimated that for the year 1913, a low flow of .'),((00 second-feet oceurred during the month of February at Le Pas, and while several lakes and a great area of low-lying swamp.v land occurs between this point and Grand rapids, which should give some rcguhition of the tlow at the latter jioint, yet it has been assumed that a minimum flow of .".000 second-feet also occurred at Grand rapids. During .Tul.v of 1913 a flood discharge of approximately 01,000 second-feet was recorded at Le Pas. K. — sroliAGE I'OSSIBILITIKS. Three lakes are situated in the lower portion of the river system immediately above (Jrand rapids; through two of these lakes — Cedar and Cross lakes — the river Mows, while Moose lake is a tributary to the north. The combined area of these three lakes is estimated to be 970 square miles, being made up as follows. Cross lake, 39; Cedar lake, 125; and Moose lake, 513 square miles. While there might le a possibility of storage on these lakes, investigations are at present being made as o the reclam- niation of low lands in the vicinity of Cedar lake through the lowering of tho latter, which, if carried out, would forestall storage possibilitias. Investigation is also being made as to the storage possibilities in the head-waters of the Saskatchewan river. Making the assumption that the flow of the winter months from October 1, 1913, to April 1, 1914. would be sir ilar to the same period during 1912-13, mass curve studies (see plate No. 30) show that n storage of 30,"i billions of cubic feet would be necessary for a uniform flow of 32.000 second-feet. A one-foot storage on Cross, Cedar and Moose lakes would give approximately 27 billion cubic feet, indicating that a storage slightly over 10 feet would he necessary to create a uniform flow for a period similar to that found year ending September 30, 1913. 1M in.i'\uivi \r or iiii iMrinoit 4 GEORGE v..

The descent, also, is not ao abrupt, bein« more often a series of nipids or swift runnin« water. These latter characteristic!! gradually become more accentuated as Hudson bay is approachends and ilrops through the Kbb and Flow rapids, followed by the Whitemud falls. The Bladtler rapids follow, in which the river flows in one narrow channel. Below this rapids, the river again divides into two main channels before lake SejMjwcsk is reached. On the eastern channel, three rapids are met with; Over the Hill, Ked Kock and t'liaiii of llock rapids, Below Sepewesk lake to the Maniton or Devils rapids, the river is more contraetecriod of low water is usually in the late winter months. It is also stated tluit the extreme rnnce between these two periods is never more than six feet. r.. — TRANSPORTATION. Steamboats at present navigate the Xclsim river from lake Winnipeg to Whisky Jack portage, but below this point navigation is only possible in certain portions of the river. The river is not crossed at any point by railroad. l>ut at several points J" in the vicinity of the new Tludson Bay railway.
