Gleeson, 1909. of four men, namely, Mr. Peters, the en- gineer, an assistant, a teamster and a cook, and the outfit consisted of two teams ofhorses, two wagons, two tents and a small but complete cook and camp outfit. The work accomplished during the summer ma}' conveniently be divided into two parts, each occupying about two months. The first consisted of a preliminary survey of the river, the second, the construction of the cable stations. The object of the preliminary survey was to discover the best possible and most convenient "sections" for cable stations that the river afforded, to erect low-water gauging stations and to engage competent men to take daily observations on the gauge rod. When a satisfactory "section" has been found, a "bench-mark" was placed near the bank of the river, high enough to be out of danger of destruction by spring floods. Using this bench-mark as a starting point a line of accurate levels was run across the river, extending as far back as high water and flood indications could be found. A gauge rod was then set up in the river close to the bank. This was made.
