the governor on account of the flood situ

by his call. The governor has been earn
estly scanning the Items of the general

Whether there will be further matters

Practically an entire cessation of rains
over the watersheds of the Trinity Bra-
toa Guadalupe ana Colorado riven for
the 24 hour ending 7 o'clock Tuesday
morning waa the most significant feature
of the reports received at the Houston
weather bureau Tuesday affecting the
present flooded condition of the principal
Texas rivers. The situation over the
State a shown on the weather map In-
dicated the possibility hut not high prob
ability of some further rains railing
Wednesday but as far as rainfall In
quantities sufficient to affect the rivers
that are already swonen is concernea it
was considered that the worst had
passed.
This fact and the fact that the crests
of the Celorado and Brazos rivers are now
fairly woll on their way toward the Gulf
of Mexico Hives- Interest to a general com
parison of the conditions oi mis year wun
those at the time of the May and June
floods of last year. The rains to which

In the case of Austin there was some

above or amounted to 21.34 Inches. Sun-
day's report contained five Inches not ac-
counted for In the regular dally reports.
Valley Junction was unable to report
for a number of days on account of the
fact that the station was Inaccessible.
