It is:§ expected Mr. Ela will be able to f make this by the eénd of the week. Stream flow data will be collected /& on the outlet river during the next few months, it was made known today.

He was Herbert Hoover, “just come with his unclc from back east in Towa” to make his way in the west. While the earnest and obliging Herbert was starting on the road that cventually was to bring him to the White House, “hungry plum scokers” in that spring of '89 were besieging the same White House and “wire pullers” were harassing President Benjamin Harrison. Theodore Roosevelt, “New York’s ccming young statesman,” was a new member of the civil service commission and had enraged the politicians by lambasting the spoils system. ‘Woorow Wilson was an obscurc professor of history at Wesleyan ¢ university, Middletown, Conn., and Calvin “Red” Coolidge of Plymouth, Vt., had not yet matriculated at| Amherst college. The machine age was in its in- fancy and cven metropolitan life was . comparatively leisurely, the pursuit of business and pleasurc being in slow tempo. ‘There was the pleasant plop of horses' hoofs on pavement, high bicycles, lilac scented air untainted by motor fumes, girls in Gainsboro disputed by motor car and air- plane. Electricity was just begin- ning to rival ga: s an illuminant and Edison was working on the phonograph. Joseph Jefferson was writing his | autobiography, Barnum's big show was featuring tight rope walkers and “tremendous chariot races,”’ Kellar was coaxing rabbits from his magic hat, Theodore Thomas was giving concerts in New York, and admission to topnotch shows in that city was 50 cents. At the international chess tour- nament, ladies “looked on with bated breath while the champions with unflagging vigor strove for victory.” Trap shooting and trout fishing were headline sports. It was the heyday of croquet, Cricket had quite a following in some east- rn cities, and professional base- ball was making promising headway as a popular diversion. At Delmonico’s famous restaur- ant, Augustin Daly and Albert !'Palmer gave a supper in honor of Edwin Booth. Among the cele- hrities who attended and gave foasts were Mark Twain, General |SHerman, Chauncey Depew, Daniel Frohman, John Drew, Brander Matthews, Willlam Winter, Law- \rence Barrett and Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
