	PHOSPHORUS CONTENT OF THE MALHEUR RIVER
		Results from the 1978-1979 Malheur County survey show that more orthophosphate was transported by the Middle Malheur River plus the North Fork of the Malheur River at Juntura, than by the main stem of the Malheur River east of Vale (Figure 9, Malheur County Court, 1981).
		In this stretch of the Malheur River, the highest observed total P at Namorf (0.48 mg/L) and Juntura (0.39 mg/L) occurred in association with early spring flows from snow melt or rain on snow (Figs.
		Geological contributions of P to the lower Malheur River basin are poorly understood.

		Despite the similarity of name, the river does not flow into nearby Malheur Lake, which is located in the enclosed Harney Basin southwest of the watershed of the river.
		The river lived up to its name a second time in 1845, when mountain man Stephen Meek, seeking a faster route along the Oregon Trail, led a migrant party up the river valley into the high desert along a route that has since become known as the Meek Cutoff.
		In 1853 the river was used more successfully as the route of the Free Emigrant Road, a branch of the Oregon Trail that cut directly across eastern Oregon to Eugene at the south end of the Willamette Valley.

		Malheur County, Oregon, is the south east county of the state, has a width from east to west of sixty miles, a length from north to south of one hundred and sixty-four miles, and embraces nearly ten thousand square miles of territory.
		The work of turning the Owyhee River, owing to points of a number of hills that projected far out into the valley, which had to be gone around or cut through, the magnitude of the tract of land to be irrigated, and the much larger size of ditch required, made the task a difficult one.

	Snake River Tributary Basins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Depending on the scale or detail with which the Snake River drainage system is examined, there are at least 60 separate streams or drainages that connect to the main stem of the river or at least deliver water to the Snake River Plain (Kjelstrom, 1986; Peterson, 1988).
		A basin tributary to the Snake River represents a geographical area with a stream or other body of water, surface or underground, that contributes water to the Snake River, even in small or intermittent quantities.
		With so many streams and rivers that deliver water to the Snake River, the scale or size of a basin has to be considered in allocating resources for studies or management programs.
