 The guests at the ''Imperial' who would have been passengers on last mornings early Seaside Limited" failed to wake up in time, so we had the pleasure of entertaining them a day longer than they had antici- pated. As Thursday was a pleasant lay we all enjoyed it, but it is possible the overIate guests failed to see all it's beauties.
 Water Measurements
 On September p, the Colorado river at Yuma was flowing 6, 100 cubic feet of water per second. At the same time there was l75 cubic feet per second going down the river below the lower Imperial intake and about ,925 second feet being diverted and coming to this Valley. The fact that no measure ments are being made of New river and Alamo prevents us from giving exact figures but it is known that both rivers have fallen considerably during the past week. The Colorado is away down again, probably not running more than 5000 second feet and very likely there is but little of it that is not coming to this Valley. However, be it much or little, it is all right. It is 1oing no harm and will soon be shut off and put under control.
