Flow Measurements on Little
 Colorado River

The stations for measuring the flow of Little Colorado river. estab- lished in March, 1905. by the United States Geological Survey, have been continued during the past season, notwithstanding the reduction in the appropriation for such work made by congress at it's last session.
 The country drained by the Little Colorado consists of high pla- teau with an elevation of over 4 ,000 feet above sea level. extending from the continental divide in northwest ern New Mexico westward to the San Francisco mountains in AriZo- ma, and from the Grand Canyon of the Colorado southward to the Mogollon Mesa. The greater part of this plateau is composed of rolling plains, with few feet of soil at the surface underlain by rock. Through this plateau the river winds northwestward to its juncton with the great Colorado. The run-off from approximately 5000 square miles of territory finds it into the Little Colorado above the mouth of Rio Puerco. the largest tributary. winch joins the main stream 2 miles above the town of Holbrook. Both the Little Cobra do and the Puerco are flshy streams. seldom clear even during low stages. The discharge fiuctuates greatly be- ing insignificant in dry seasons.
 Two gazing stations are main tained. one near Woodruff and the other near Hobrook. Ariz. The Woodruff station at which the gage is observed twice each day by R. l.. Newman is located about 100 yards below the crossing of the Holbrook- Winslow wagon road and about one fourth mile below the Woodruff dam. The Holbrook station is To- cated at the county bridge across the river, the gage being read by Mrs. Anna Conner. The maximum discharged for 1905 occurred on No vember 27 when flow of over 2,0O0 second-feet was recorded. On the 18th of July 1905 the flow was but 5 second feet.

Regarding the new breaking of the Colorado river into the Salton mesa, Director Walcott, of the geo. logical survey, is quoted as saying that unless the break is repaired, damage to property to an amount conservatively estimated at $l3, 900. : GOO ultimately would result.

Much friendly rivalry has entered the
whist play of the club owing 10 the
steady and clean-cuJ wins of the
champion team. Most of the exciting
play is now Ce1tered around these two
opponents of the game and there is "a
strong probability that the hopes Of
many contending players Will streW the
whist arena this season.

cent struggles at the club been and so
consistent have the wins followed the
