Tbe Cutoff BuiIt.

During the spring of 1893 the cut
Off below FL PasO was made, shorten
ing the river some four miles. No largc
flood came until that of June p, 1903,
when 1000 feet more was passing than
in the disastrous flood Of 1897. Owing
TO the scOur and increased velocity
due TO the cutoff, the water at stan
ton street was - feet lower than in
1897. Again come along a long con-
tinued securing flood in june, 1905.
when there was 30 percent more water
than IN 1887. but the highest point
reached at Stanton street was 6.9 feet
lever than in 1897
The 1908 and 1905 floods started the
river to eroding its banks and length
ening itself again, so lessening the et-
feet OF the cutoff When the flood
OF July ., 1911, of 10000 feet came,
its highest point at Stanton street was
only 4-5 feet lower than the 1897 flood
This indicates q fi@ Of between four
and five feet since 1905. Monday the
river was Just about the same height at
Stanton street as in 1911. with the same
amount of water flowing, thus showing
that there has been no filling during
the past year
