REPORT OS THK FLOW
OF THK Yl'KO.X KIVKRl
The Yukon river iu Alaska is one I
of the great rivers of the North
American continent, a brief report I
on the discharge of Yukon river at ;
i.;'.gle, Alaska, by K. A. Horter and I
R. \V. Davenport, has just been is
sued by the I'uited States Geologi-J
cal survey as Water-Supply paper
345-F. Probably few people have
an adequate conception of the
size of this river and character
istics of its flow. A. H. Brooks,
of the Geological survey, gives the
Yukotl fi-th rlace among the large
rivers in North America and es-,
timates its drainage area at about
330,000 square miles. Its length, "n
cluding the Lewes and Tesliu rivers,
is given in th.r report at 3.200 miles
This may be compared with 6,000
miles for the Mississippi and Mis
souri, 2.86S miles for the Macken
zie, 2.000 for the Colorado com
bined with Green river, and 1,300
lor the Ohio combined with the Alle
gheny.
The discharge o:' the Yukon varies
from a maximum of 254,000 to ~a :
minimum ot 10,000 cubic feet a
second, or an estimated average j
flow of 73,200 cubic feet. Thisi,
is a relatively small discharge, the j;
average flow of the Mississippi be-l;
ing 695,000. that of the Ohio 300,- J
000, and that of the Colorado 23,30 ;
second-feet. The Nile, with a j
drainage area of 1,262.000 square j
miles, has an average flow of 116,- , •
000 cubic feet a second. The flow j <
of the Yukon is therefore relatively ,)
small as related to its drainage area,! ■
and this apparent anomaly is ac- ! j
counted for by the fact that the in- j <
terior of Alaska has the small rain- j ]
fall "characteristic of that portion j
of the United States which lies be- ■ <
tween the Sierra Nevada and the j,
Rocky mountains, north of the lati- ',
tude of Salt Lake City.'"
Navigation ou the Yukon lias i
important a bearing on transport
tiou iu interior Alaska that it h;
given rise to a general recognitit
of two seasons—the "closed se
son,"' wlieu the Yukon is eitli'
filled with floating ice or frOz(
over, and the "open season
The break-up ot the ice usually o
'■urs about the middle of May, aft<
which the 'river is open to tran
portation for five or six months, <
a little longer. The break-up
not only an event of great econom
significance to the inhabitants in t
interior of Alaska, but it presen
features of great dramatic intere
a§ well. One who has not witnessc
it, according to the authors of tf
survey report, can hardly irnagii
rhe impressiveness of the spectacl
From bank to bank the surface <
the river is a solid mass of hug
moving ice cakes, which are coi
itantly grinding and ^disintegrate
with an awe-inspiring exhibition c
resistless force.
The freeze-up is less spectacula
tt'ith the increasing cold of the ai
Lunin slush ice forms in the rivei
md as the cold becomes more ii
:ense the ice increases in voium
until finally it is sufficient t
Sridge the entire stream. Thi
weans the termination of navigatio
>n the Yukon until the followin
May.
The Geologicoi survey's measur<
ments of stream - flow near Eagl
tvere made during the winter at
>oint about 2 miles above the towr
ivhere the river is 1,600 feet wid«
3y cutting holes through the ice a
ntervals of 50 feet and jnakin
■oundings. In this way the expos
;d section of the river was detei
iiined, and the velocity of th
stream at each hole was determin
?d by a Price current meter. Dui
ng the period of break-up dis
charge measurements were made b
neans of ice floats. In the ope;
season the flow was determined b
he same method as on any larg1
'iver.
The maximum discharge measure
n 1911 was on May 22, when th
rolume was 253,000 second-fee!
["he width of the water surface a
he measuring section was l,64i
eet, and the greatest depth o
he river was 28.7 feet. The averag
urface velocity was 5.S miles ai
lour.

□annul) .Marvin's haggard eyes were
fixed upon [lie illuminated test of a
small framed uiotto ou the wall at ber
left, "When the Outlook Is Not Good
Try the Uplook."
As she read her wide mouth set it
self in n line of bitterness, und sbe
turned away disgustedly.
The waiting room of the Itemwood
Typewriter Kmployment agency was
badly congested. Groups of girls were
chattering together In the huuild heat
Uuuuuh was an "old girl." The
term w:is used In the ollice, with dls
I respect, solely because it was deserlp
! tive. It wits abbreviated into "O. G.t"
and Ilanuah had caught a glimpse of
these initials ou ber registration card
and with a chill of heart guessed their
meaning
J A newcomer interrupted her thoughts
by sitting down quite close beside her
IlnnuHii turned toward ber with un
disguised annoyance, but her sharp
glance became a steady stare.
The girl iicjside her wore a plain
little gown (if Hrreeti checked gingham,
and the |)ink flush »u her face was so
lovely mail so natural a coloring that
Hannah's eyes lung accustomed to
powdered cheeks, rested upon it in
credulously, dropping tinally to the ex
quislte line of a full white throat
The girl turned to her and spoke
shyly.
"What do you have to do to get
work here- show your recommends
rious?" she asked
"I!eo muieiuliitiiins here don't mean
much." Hannah answered sharply
•The best arsijiuietit yon can put up is
the price you've worked for and how
much experience you've had."
"I've worked a year." the Jrlrl an
swered
"Here in New VorkHannah ques
tioned
"No- up state."
"Can you read your notes?" Hannah
asked practically
"1 certainly can." the girl came back
with n confidence that surprised her
questioner
wen, you <»ukui iu get ouuiciuiu^
sbe encouraged. "Better go up and
shove those t'resli kills :iway aud talk
right up (a the manager. How'd you
happen to conic down to the city?"
Hannah Inquired.
'•Oh. I just wanted to get a better
chance I got awfully tired of living
in Lyinansvilie I've heeti here only a
week, but" -
She stopped hesitatingly.
"Oh. ! don't Know." she finished.
"These girls seem awfully different
seme way And they don't look well
They are so thin and"
"Tlie.v dim't eat enough or sleep
enough.' Hannah interrupted.
A week passed. By some mi worded
understanding Hannah and the up
state girl sat together in the waiting
room each day
Nelthet was s«-i»t out and Haunah
realizing how low were Iter own re
sources, forced her way one morning
to the front ami demanded the reason
why she couldn't get work
The manager annvered her outburst
gently
"You see. Mi"s Marvin."/she said.
"Me have very few rails that require
your experience, so many offices want
to set <-erv younsr g!"ls and break them
in at a low rate."
Hannah sniffed with comprehension.
"1 know I'm old." she said bluntly
"but Lean get out the work"
The eves of the manager showed
sympathetic understanding.
"I'm sure yon ran." she said kindly
"And we are bound to have a call be
fore long f> t some one of your espe
rienee."
Hannah went back to her seat and
thought a I ■ i her experience with bit
ter rec<iced ii'ti
The girl fn>ai up state was reading a
letter from home, and Iter face, which
hud grown pale and a lit tie thin, was
again rosily Mushed She turned
dreamy eyes toward Hannah inquir
ingly and 'lien let them go back to
the bold ha a : writing on the sheets she
held
Hann.'li < • iiiluued to think about her
"experience "
Only the ;...ht before she iiad found
quite by accident. an old photograph of
herself taken when she had first come
to New York twenty years before.
She had studied it long and curiously
until she burned with bitterness.
Beauty she liad never possessed, but
she had l«cen. vivacious, joyous and
"smart.' In those days her father had
been prosperous and there was no
j need foi her to toil It was then that
she had met. loved and promised to
' marrv Alien Morehouse Three months j
i I the engagement bad lasted
Sittiui: on thi' bird ageuoy bencil
ill twenty years • ,-i Hannah Marvin
j felt flnm>- up within her the scorching
anger <>i tic" gi: tho;>d as she remember
ed hei discover* of the life young
Morehouse w:i« leading, the quarrel
that ensued ami ihe heartless words
he had s) oken to -h"i as lie faced bet
acctisatio'is
After thai there had been scarcely a
rift in the storm iouds. Her father,
financially wrecked, had died and left
bis rtaujilitei to earn her living as she
could She Had tried the shorthand
and t.i pewrinng route, then just be
coming popular, and ibo bad gone forth
to battle, unsmiling, silent, working
ber way for ber dully bread with1 re
lentless zeal.
A call from the manager summoned
Huunab forward at last, and she went,
resentfully conscious of the curious
glances the other girls cast toward her.
"Here's a position, Miss Marvin, I
think you could fill."* the woman be
hind the railing said. "It's a fifteen
dollar u week place and very good peo
ple. Will you go and see about It?"
A strange sensation of gratitnde
came to Hannah, aud a smile appeared
on her face. It seemed to the mana
ger to be almost transfiguring.
"I'll go." she answered. "I guess I
can get out work thnt will suit them."
Tbe manager smiled. "Good luclt,"
she said.
An hour, later Hannah bad walked
out of m great building with tbe knowl
edge that she had work. An eating
bouse caught her p.vpb as sh6 walked
toward her room, mid she went in and
snt down, realizing suddenly that she
had eaten nothing that day.
As she sat with a menu card before
her she glanced up and saw entering
the girl from up state. She saw Han
nah and hurried toward ber all smiles
and Uu.sbes.
I "I've got a place!" she cried Joyous
ly. "I'm going to work tomorrow.
It's $12 a week."
"Say, that's fine!" said Hannafi
heartily. "What's tbe firm?"
"It's a kind of small insurance
business." the girl answered, taking a
curd from her hand bag and laying it
before Hannah "That's the man's
name In the corner."
Hannah read and saw the room grow
dark before her. s
She got lip and put her bands on the
young girl's shoulder.
"I've got to be going." she said.
With her hand on the knob of the
door she paused, luriied sharply and
i-ame bark and sat down before the
girl from up state.
"Say, look here!" she said sharply,
"I've promised lo t:ike a fifteen a week
lob. but 1 made up myjnlnd just now
to get out <»f New York, and I don'l
want it I've decided to leave the
city. The work isn't anything bul
what you could do. and $3 a week Is a
lot when you come to think about It
Now, there Isn't any reason why you
can't no right up there and say I sent
you and tell them what you caa do.
: I know yon are all right. Will yon?"
I "Why. yes-s. of course I will.'' th«
girl answered.
"You run right along now. Thejyare
expecting me back." said Hannah,
The girl from up state went radi

restaurant table, with ber fc*>d un

next.
At a table behind ber a man with
bent shoulders bad watched the op
state girl as she talked, and bow, as
Hannah lingered, he sat at hts table
witn some papers spread' out before
him. But be did not read.
j The card of the insurance company
lay unheeded beside the girl's coffee
j cup. Hannah picked It up and read
j again the name of its representative,
i It was Alien Morehouse.
j The name was printed in red. and
! the letters danced impishly before her
; eyes.
j The address was on the card. It

In five minutes she was In the In

In a few minutes she was motioned
' i 'ward Mr. Morehouse's private office.
A gray haired man was sitting before

iliessed. but his eyes were level and

ih.it it was Hanuab Marvin who was
■ ■••• .lousible for your losing her."
Su you thought 1 wouldn't treat

Hannah did not reply.
Sometimes," Morehouse went on,
"a man turns out better than you
might expect. I haven't amounted to
very min-h. but I've got this little bust
iless aud the girl who's left me

Uniciaii's breath was coming Irreg
ularly • ::d she felt dizzy.
"II. !.-i th." he continued, "I've tried

Tin' wo:-nin's gray face flushed and
grew unitized. She stared at the man

Then the tears came, and as they fell
