the runo is materiaily less per square mile. On this account it appears that tha project will only support 550 aeres of irrigated land or a total areiof 625 acres, 71. This project requires a reservoir capacity of 2,000 ac. ft. To supply this would require a water surface eievation of 25 ft. above sea level and a maximun height of dam of 38 ft. inciuling an 5 ¢ freeboard and fizuring the low2st point of the dam to be 5 ft. below s2a level. Thez length of dan would be 1,11) it. A 290 ft. spillway is planaed thceoizh th? saddle near the right abuatment. The rock exeavated from the spillway would be used for paving the dam. Toae older rock formation is exposed at either end and it is estimated that the greatest depth to bed rock in the bottom is 3J [t beiow sea level. The plan of dam, in- cindinz puddle trench, core wall, and outlat gate are the same as tor the River project. In both of these proj:cts the ranoff durinz ernstruztion is to be han- dled through the outlet gates. The larger fl )ods oceur at such rare intervals and are of such short duration that it is plan- ned to allow them to run over one end of the dam and to prevent excessive cal- tinr by the use of bagzs of san-. 72. This is a ponping project and in ordar to avoid so ne hzavy sid2hill eaiu ¢rnstracgion anl to place tha pump near- er the lands to be irrigated, itis locarad as showa on Plate 9, and not at th: out- 15t of tha dam as would brdinarily v 2 rae case. Tha economy of this plai, hovever is questioned as the special construction featuras required may over bailince the ailditional canal construction trom th2 dam. The plan of the pumping plant as proposed requires a feeder canal in the byttom of the reservoir or ats2a level to ran £ron n2arthe dam to the fort of the hill near the pump. From this point there will extend about 20 ¢t. of tunnel which wiil connect with a shaft which raises to about elev. 15. Ar this cleva- tion and over the shaft will be a water tizht reinforced concrete pump house ex- tending to above proposed maximumn hizh water. An 8 inch horizontal, single siage, ceutrifugal pump is planned with a capacity of 2,500 g. p. m, to be direct- 1y eonnected to ga two eyele, solid injec- tion 120 h. p. full Diesel engin2. With raservoir empty to suction iitt wiil be apout 18 ft. and the total atat'c litt 126 fr. or to water surface elev. in rhe canal of 126. The canal will be concrete lined and will be on a rather light grade to conserve elevation; It will eross the sad- dle or summit near estate '‘Slob’” and | will then swing back toward tpe reser- | voir. | 73. The estimated cost of this project is $271,800 or $435.00 per acre for the | 625 acres benefitted-See Table 15. This | is a little above the feasible limit previ- | ously determined upon and due to this | fact, and also the fact that itisa pumb- | ing project and the operation cost will l 5T a1 V 0 pecessarily be higher than that of a gravi'y projeet, it is not recommended as firancialiv feas:tle. he corclusions as to runoff in this basin, however, may be too cors rvative, and if soand it is feand that the water supply would sus- t-in say 1.000 zcres, the result weuld te entirely different and it would become possitly the cheapest project on Lhe s iand cn account of the most favorable re- servoir site. It is, thevefore, advised that runoff records be kept on this streamn with a view to later studies of its Irriga- tion feasibility. TELEGRAMS. ¢ BT, €CROIX STATION. Rome.

June 19th.— Baidly holed, as the result of a col'ision with the Itelian steamer *‘Clara Camus ', off Cape Raee today, the P. k Jirer "*Meta- gama, with 700 passengers reac'.ed this port, just before dusk. The big liner had a \ery heavy list to port as she cama through the Nurrows and showed every sign o! being in great dithiculty, toough she was making way siowly uoder- her own steam and was absolutely under contro . The Metagamo assisted by tuzs was moved to the head of the harbour, near the dock entrance, and beached. The I:alian ship was berthed at taie Furness Withy Pier when the Metaama ar ived and presented a striking contrast to the latter. Except for her portlist and the water spouting {row her punps, the Canadian Paciiic boat showed hardly a serarch on her hull, the damaged nlates being below water.
