Excerpt from Geology and Water Resources of a Portion of South-Central Oregon The rapidly increasing settlement and development of the West which has accompanied the recent industrial expansion of the United States has led to a growth of interest in all of those factors that affect its adaptability to human needs. One of the clearest evidences of this increasing interest is the constant demand for definite and trust worthy information concerning its climate, soils, mineral resources, timber, and water. So great is this demand that the Federal and local bodies which have been organized to study the natural resources are scarcely able to meet it. In the arid and semiarid sections no question is of more vital importance than that of water supply. Where water can be intro duced or developed in abundance colonization will take place; where water exists in limited quantity, sparse settlement is possible; but where water is'not to be had present conditions must continue. The water - resources branch of the United States Geological Survey has for many years been making systematic studies of water supplies, both surface and subsurface, and in connection with work under way in many localities, both in the East and in the West, in the fall of 1906 the writer was assigned to carry out a reconnaissance in south central Oregon.
