UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS DIVISION OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING P. O. BOX 180 POST OFFICE BUILDING BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA January 21, 1926. Mr. George D. Clyde, Utah Experiment Station, Logan, Utah. Dear Mr. Clyde:- It is inventory time and we are having a little difficulty in locating two water registers which I thought had been returned to this office, but I think they must still be in your possession. The two registers in question are those which I had been using in Sanpete County, and as I recall were turned over to you last spring. They are both Gurleys, Nos. 16169 and 1694. Will you kindly check them up and let us know what you find out about them. Very truly yours, L M. Winsor Associate Irrigation Engineer, April 6, 1926 Mr. L. M. Winsor, Box 180 Post Office Bldg. Berkeley, California. Dear Winsor: I have your letter of April 1 at hand concerning the proposed work on the gravel control problem. I had not been informed by the Director that I would be expected to handle the work so I took the matter up with him upon receipt of your letter. Apparently he did not intend to convey the interpretation which you got out of his letter. As we interpret your letter it would mean that I would have to go to Farmington and stay there until after the flood season is over. As you do doubt know, I am teaching a rather heavy schedule this quarter and in addition to that my project field work will require constant attention for another month. By the time I complete my field surveys on snow cover the flood runoff will probably have passed. I shall be glad to go to Farmington or Willard or Nephi to direct that work but it is impossible that I take all the responsibility of carrying out the detail. I think it is very desirable that we obtain this season stream discharge measurements on these three creeks. As you no doubt know, the Geological survey have established a rating station on Salt Creek near the power plant. This record, I think, is continuous. It will be unnecessary, therefore, to measure that stream. I think it would be desirable to install an automatic guage [gauge] on the Farmington Creek and Willard Creek weirs. I think it is desirable to hire a man to watch the streams at Willard and Farmington during the peak of high water (if we have any) and then he can report to us in case of any trouble. Regarding the additional work that should be done at Willard and Farmington I think it would be desirable that you write the County Agents of the respective counties and have then [them] take this matter up with the parties interested so that the work may be done before the spring runoff starts. I am at your service insofar as I can arrange my work so that the work you are doing on the gravel controls may not laps during your absence. However, I must consider first my own project and do the other work as I can. Yours sincerely UNITED STATE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS DIVISION OF AGRICULTRUAL ENGINEERING P. O. BOX 180 POST OFFICE BUILDING BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA April 9, 1926. Prof. Geo. D. Clyde, Utah Agricultural College, Logan, Utah. Dear Professor Clyde: - I received your recent letter relative to the gravel control work and turned it over to Mr. McLaughlin for reply. He wrote Director Peterson yesterday and to-day we have a letter from the Director indicating that you will be able to handle the work at the three structures in northern Utah. This relieves my mind a great deal since I was somewhat concerned yesterday with respect to making satisfactory arrangements. I have a letter from Mr. Norr to-day indicating that he will be able to get away most any time that he is in Salt Lake, to help you out with the preparations at Farmington for the spring high water. He knows just what to do and where to get the help and therefore I suggest that you get in touch with him immediately. He will be able to give you only a few hours at a time, but sufficient, I think, to keep things under way when you cannot be there. I am sending him a copy of this letter so that he will know what to expect. I have to-day ordered two water stage registers from Mr. Hoff’s office and he said he would get them off to you to-day or to-morrow. This will take care of your needs on the Farmington and Willard streams. I have not heard from the State Road Commission in response to my letter to them some time ago; therefore I will leave the matter in your hands as regards securing any cooperation required from that source. Yours very truly, L. M. Winsor Associate Irrigation Engineer. c.c. E. O Norr. April 9, 1926. Mr. Levi O. Ward, Box 102 Willard, Utah. Dear Mr. Ward: - Thanks very much for your report of April 6. It came just in time for my use, since I am now at work compiling material for my bulletin on Gravel Control. I note that you have had a rather unusual winter and that the spring seems to be opening up in a rather extraordinary manner. For this reason I am a little bit worried about our structure at your place. Arrangements have just been completed whereby Prof. George D. Clyde of the Utah Agricultural College will have charge of the gravel control work during my absence. I have asked him to get in touch with you and I hope that you will be able to help us out in this spring’s work. I was well pleased with the manner in which the structure was prepared last fall and I believe it will give very little trouble this spring. There is one job, however, which I would have liked very much to see finished, and that is the gutter and curb which we planned for the east side of the road, to be made of cobble rock, placed together in the same way that you lined your ditch at the intake of your system. What I am afraid of L.C.W. -2- is that the seepage through the bank which is bound to follow may cause it to slide. This sliding could easily be avoided by the placing of the rock pavement as we have planned. What is the prospect of getting this work done? If there is any likelihood of getting the people out for it, I will try to arrange for Mr. Norr to go and help you, although he will not be able to get off for some weeks. I hope that Willard and your Irrigation Company in particular will be able to cooperate with us in carrying the present season’s work through satisfactorily. Very truly yours, c.c. G.C. Clyde. L.M. Winsor Associate Irrigation Engineer. lnw/md Memoranda to Mr. L. M. Winsor: Willard and Farmington Gravel Control Spring 1926 In accordance with the instructions received from and Director William Peterson, I have been observing the conditions at the Farmington and Willard gravel control sites. This year has been extremely unusual in light of the very low spring runoff. As a result of this unusual condition there has been no exceptionally high water at either of these two stations. The water, however, did get high enough for short period of time to warrant careful attention. At the Willard site Mr. Casey Wright of the State Highway Department has maintained a man to watch that structure. This man inspected the site every day and during high water he repaired any breaks and directed the flow of the water so that the gravel would be deposited in the proper places. At this site, as you will discover when you inspect it again, they built a secondary spill just above the rock spillway to catch the gravel so that it would not run over the spillway. The gravel is now deposited above this weir to a depth of about three feet. I think it very important that surveys of the deposits be made later on this summer to determine the amount of material deposited during what I believe is a year of minimum stream flow. It was impossible to establish an automatic water state register on this stream and I installed a vertical staff gage and had Mr. Levi Ward read it three times daily. He reported these readings to me and I have taken sufficient measurements of the stream to establish a fair rating curve. This data you will find worked up in the form of gage heights and the rating curve drawn. At the Farmington site the conditions have been a little different. There the situation is probably more critical than at Willard, due to the fact that the dam was not completed and the channel below the highway bridge not cleaned out. However, things went along find during the seven or eight of May at which time we had an exceptionally heavy rain storm. Just before this time the State road Commission at the instance of President Henry H. Blood put a man on the dyke to watch it and rip rap the breaks. This work was not yet completed when the heavy rains came. The water started up about twelve o’clock on the west and quite badly. Through the efforts of Mr. Thayne the assistance of the State Road Commission crew was obtained and also the authority to employ additional assistance to combat the water. The flow was diverted from the west end and then it started cutting in the east end right next to the west wing wall of the spillway. Wire netting and logs and brush were piled at the dyke at this point and the cutting stopped. The high water lasted only two days and was not severe enough to cause trouble in the channel below the dyke. The dyke needs immediate repair so that it will be in shape for the next storms. -2- At the time Mr. Thayne requested the assistance of the State Board Commission to combat this danger, the question arose as to who would be in case anything should happen to the Farmington Dyke. The state road commission refuses absolutely to accept any responsibility. They think the responsibility should rest with the community. In addition to that Mr. Blood informed me at a meeting a little later that the work done by the Commission at this time was only of an emergency nature and that they refuse to accept the responsibility of maintaining the structure. I am inclined to believe Mr. Blood is right in his stand as I believe that work should be done cooperatively between the community, the railroads, the highways and other parties that are receiving protection from that structure. I believe that this proposition can be made a success until after some kind of cooperative organization is formed, (1) to build the structure, and (2) to constantly maintain it. Unless this is done this method of controlling gravel in my opinion will be a failure due to the fact that the dam must be constantly maintained and built higher and higher. In light of that belief, at the last meeting I had with Mr. Blood and the county agent, I suggested such an organization to them. They seemed to think also that this method of solution is the logical one. The next problem, therefore, is to get the people in the community affected and the highways and railroads together to form some sort of a mutual agreement to combat cooperatively their common enemy, the waters of Farmington Creek. The water is so low in the creeks at the present time that I have ceased making measurements or keeping the clock going on them. Mr. Thayne called by telephone yesterday and requested some more assistance on the conditions at Farmington and in addition he would like to have some assistance in looking over a drainage problem in his community. If you are able to go down there and you call Mr. Thayne a day ahead, he will arrange with the committee to spend their time with you. I am leaving for some five weeks and if There is anything that I can do to straighten these matters out write me at Garfield Smelter. May 31, 1926. Mr. L. M. Winsor: In case I am not here when you arrive I am leaving this memorandum to assist you in getting your files back into shape. I put all the equipment in the soils laboratory and also considerable material out of your desks. All your files are in the filling cases in your office. Nothing was taken from your files out of that room. You will probably find them easily because I kept them in tact [intact]. UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS DIVISION OF AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING P. O. BOX 180 POST OFFICE BUILDING BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA April 1, 1926. Prof. Geo. D. Clyde, Utah Experiment Sta., Logan, Utah. Dear Professor Clyde: A letter from Director Peterson brings the information that he is arranging so that you can be relieved from other duties at the college and station during the time necessary to look after the gravel control work at Willard, Farmington and Nephi. I am very pleased indeed that he is able to make this arrangement, as I have been worrying a great deal about this situation during the past few weeks. I had planned that E. O. Norr might possible be available to handle the work but he is unable to get away. In addition to Mr. Norr, however, it would have been necessary for you or someone else to look after the technical work. I think that we should obtain during this season a very close approximation of the discharge of these streams. It is my idea that we should install a gage above the spillway of each stream and obtain a rating for the different depths over the crest. It is very probable that the measurement will have to be taken at some point farther down the stream, but the gage readings ca best be made in the still water above the crest. The gage should be read daily, or better still, during the morning when the water is at its lowest point, and in the middle of the night when the stream is at its peak throughout the period of gravel flow. The gage readings may be kept by some member of the local irrigation company in most cases. At Nephi it would be desirable to measure the stream down about the power plant or at the plaster mill in order that one or the other of the men working at these places may keep the records. At Farmington and at Willard some one [someone] may have to be specially appointed and if necessary put on the payroll. I think that it will be desirable to have a night watchman on each stream in which case the readings can be made by him. At Willard there is a little work yet to be done along the state highway at the foot of the dyke. I had planned to pave the gutter the upper side of the road at the foot of the dyke with cobble rock gathered up from the opposite side of the road and dragged in on stone boats. The people of Willard promised to do this work. It may be well for you to see Mr. E. O. Norr at Salt Lake, and if possible get him to go with you to Willard and review with you the plans which we made for this week, and find out from him just how the land lays -2- with respect to the cooperation on the part of the people. You will find Mr. Norr at either C/O Excelcis Products, 277 West 2nd South, Salt Lake City, or 177 P Street, the latter being his residence. At Farmington the job has not been finished ready for spring high water. The combination wire fence which was to be placed around the inside of the dyke for protection against erosion was not put up, and the channel down stream was not cleaned out sufficient to carry a large stream under the bridge. I have written the State Road Commission explaining this situation and asking what they could do to help but up to date have not received a reply. There is a little money left from the appropriation made last year which was not spent by Mr. Norr. Kindly confer with Mr. Norr and with J. W. Thayne the County Agent, in connection with the Farmington work. It may also be desirable for you to call on the State Road Commission particularly President H. H. Blood, who lives at Caysville. (or at Road Office) When the water is flowing at its height at Farmington and at Willard it would be desirable for you to arrange your work so that you can be on the job in person. The crest of the structure at Farmington should be raised as gravel fills in to prevent any gravel going over. Norr can explain how we handled this so successfully last year. It is my opinion that you will need to move to Farmington at once since the high water season will doubtless begin very soon. Yours very truly, L. M. Winsor, Associate Irrigation Engineer.

I am enclosing two letters, one from A. Lincoln Fellows and the other from Mr. Leroy A. Palmer. I am holding the material which they sent with their letters until I hear from you as to whether you desire them sent on to you or not. I received a check for $20.90 from the Utah Oil Refining Company today. Thank you very much for the addition to the rate of pay. I can use it very nicely as you may imagine. I have sent your mail recently to Los Angeles but the time is now almost past when you said you would be leaving there. I shall send mail there until Saturday. If I do not hear from you before Monday, I shall send all other mail received after that date to Berkeley.

Dear Mr. Heath: Your letter of November 11 requesting another report covering the water supply for Preston-Whitney Irrigation Company was addressed to me at South Dakota instead of North Dakota. It finally reached me here but came during my absence. I trust that the delay will not result seriously, in other words, I hope that the matter is not sufficiently urgent that it will greatly inconvenience you in not receiving the extra report immediately. It is my recollection that I have photographs, etc., all together in my files in Logan so that I can prepare for you another report immediately on my return. If the matter is very urgent you may use this letter as your authority for asking Professor D. Clyde to look in my personal files in storage at his office and see whether or not he can find my personal copy of the report to which you refer. As I recall it is filed along with numerous other reports on miscellaneous subjects and is in one of my personal files at the north side of my official files in the attic directly over Mr. Clyde’s office. There should be a folder in this same file containing the negatives and miscellaneous material used in compiling the report. If you can delay this matter for about three weeks I expect to be in Logan and can take care of the proposition myself. I shall want to retain my personal copy of the report, but my thought was if you might use it temporarily until I could prepare a second copy for you. I trust that this will meet your requirements and that I shall have the pleasure of renewing our pleasant association when I return to Utah. Yours very truly, L. M.

THATCHER THATCHER & YOUNG LAWYERS FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING OGDEN, UTAH August 24, 1929. Professor George D. Clyde, Logan, Utah. My dear Professor Clyde: I have been attempting for some time to obtain some definite information relative to the flow of Little Bear since 1922 at or above the intake of the Hyrum Irrigation Company headgate and the Wellsville headgate. The reason I am desirous of obtaining this information is that, as you know, the Utah Power & Light decree which was entered in February 1922 fixes prior rights on the stream and also adjudicates secondary rights. Because of this fact, when the flow of Little Bear reaches a certain minimum the prior appropriators are entitled to shut off the secondary users. It is a strange thing, but so far I have been unable to find where any measurements have been taken. It appears that the lower water users simply decide for themselves that the flow is less than the amount decreed to them and then proceed to turn off the water. I was in Salt Lake City a few days ago and visited the geological survey and thought I had found what I wanted. It appears, however, that this measuring device is on the east fork of Little Bear River, east of Avon, so you see this measures the water diverted by the Paradise Company but does not seem to measure the waters of Little Bear at either of the points indicated. I have an important case set for trial at Logan on the 29th inst. Involving this water. It may be that you have made some measurements. If you have, I would certainly appreciate receipt of such information as you may be able to give me at once, and if you can be of any assistance to me I should greatly appreciate having you as a witness on that date. As I recall it, the adjudicated water rights prior in time to my clients amount to approximately 110 second feet. It is my desire to prove that the total flow of Little Bear River, excluding the waters of the east fork have been less than that amount each and every year since 2. February 1922 during at least the months of July, August and September. With this idea in mind, you might be able to give me some definite information, or at least you may know as a practical measurer of water that such is the fact. I would appreciate hearing from you at once. Yours very truly, THATCHER & YOUNG LeRoy B. Young. LBY:A Aug. 27, 1929 Mr. Leroy B. Young First National Bank Building Ogden, Utah Dear Mr Young, I regret very much that I do not have any information on the flow of Little Bear River above the canal diversions.

I am returning this order herewith as we do not make these tubes at the University. Either the Pozzo Machine Works, 245 San Augustine Street, San Jose, California, or the McNairn Machine Works, 1431 - 2nd Street, Sacramento, California, make our soil sampling equipment. Both of these firms are good workmen and the orders are placed with the one who gives the lowest bid. In ordering it would be well to specify, in addition to the length of the tube, the number of heads and points you wish. There are $5.00 a piece [apiece] and are threaded for screwing on to the tube. An order for a 5 foot soil tube might be understood to call for the tube only, without head or point. The hammers for these soil tubes are made in several weights. For ordinary sampling an 18 pound hammer is usually satisfactory, but in sampling dry soils a 30 pound hammer has been found more desirable. The details for making the tubes, heads, points, and hammers are given in Soil Science Vol. 27 : 147-152, “An improved soil-sampling tube”, F.J. Veilmeyer, February, 1929. Both firms mentioned above are familiar with these specifications. Very truly yours, F. J.

Nobody knows the exact amount of work remaining, but some think it will require a month or more. In the mean time I think it well to begin a new search for employment. There is a possibility of getting transferred into permanent work of the Co. I have been trying to make such a transfer, but much depends upon an opening existing in the permanent work. Upon the suggestion of Mr. Waltzing, who designs bridges for the state highways, I made an application for an engineer’s license. I personally thought that a license was neither necessary or possible for me to obtain until I have had more experience. However, I hope that no harm will result from such application-even tho [though] the license may not be granted. I am sending a print of the picture I had taken for the application. I will appreciate very much any advise [advice] or leads to further employment.. My present place of residence may change after a month, but mail sent to me at my uncle’s address will be kept for me or forwarded to a new address. My uncle’s address is: 759 Jeppson Avenue, Salt Lake City, Utah. I hope that all is well with you and the engineering classes this year. Respectfully I remain, David Young David Young Feb. 9, 1936.
