by my assistant in charge Of the
construction. The winter flow Of the
stream, from November 1st to April
1st, inclusive, as shown on the state
mont, 10 about the normal flow for
that season. For the balance Of the
season the run-oH shown in the state
mont is above normal; that 10 to
say, the flow Of 1907 was higher
than usual, nearly twice as much
a. for this year so far. though this
year 10 undoubtedly above normal.
Ny Judgment 10 that the normal win
ter flow will fiil the reservoir. The
water stored during that period would
be available for the early supply to
the Canal system during the month
Of May, and the reservoir could
again be filled during the months Of
June and July for use In the later
months Of the irrigation season, Au-
gust and September.

that the reservoir will be eompiet-

nounced that ex-Secretary Bacon was
the President IS choice for Paris, his Sc
lection for that place having been
urged by Senator Elihu Root, who was
associated in the State Department
with Mr.. Bacon, when the latter was
an assistant secretary there. Dr. Hill
is a resident of Rochester, New York,
and the fact that the Ambassadors to
Germany and France are to be from
New York State would almost preclude
the possibility of Mr.. Reid being re-
tanned at London, even If the President
had not rendered the place some months
ago to President Eliot of Harvard and
had not stated subsequently to visitors
that he was looking for new man,
now that DR.. Eliot has declined. While
there is no hard and fast rule about
the distribution of the ambassadorship
it almost goes without saying that the
President would not care to give the
three most priced diplomatic positions
under his administration to New York
State.

now seems probable, it will not be nee
essary to send his name again to the

the newest of American embassies in
Europe, that at Constantinople. The two
first Ambassadors that President Taft
named were for Rome and CONSTANT

ST. Petersburg by transferring thither
