 We are informed that during the high winds which blew for a couple of days the past week the water in the Salt0n sea was blown over the railroad track in several places. There is at least 300, ,000 inches of water running into this sea, which is still slowly rising. There are about 450 square miles now covered with water and great dea, of it is twenty feetdeep. 'fhe cool weather is keeping down the evaporation, and until the intakes at the Colorado river are gotten under control and the vol tune of water running into the Salton to continue rising. It is time the South ern Pacific "got busy"
 The last report received from the U. $. hydrographer who measures the water in the Imperial canals gave the total flow as 6737 second feet, of which 4498 second feet was being diverted at the lower Mexican intake, and 2239 second feet at the upper intake. This measurement was made on June ], at which time there was 62, ,000 second feet flowing in the river This shows that less than one ninth of the river was coming our way. At the time these measurements were made the work of shutting up the intakes had not pro- gressed far enough to have any effect so these measurements effectually dis pose of any fears that the Colorado river will change it's course and flood this Valley.
 Seventy thousand dollars was the total of the freight receipts at the Inn perial office for the month of May. With such figures for evidence, can anyone doubt the importance of Inn perial as a shipping point and establish ed town. Now as harvest is drawing to d close, those who can afford to or whose business will allow will spend couple of months at the Beach, and we can expect the days to be rather dull for awhile but in the early fall, with the water question settled, and our un- surpassable winter climate, we are in a position to expect a season of pros perity, such as has never before been seen or known in the Valley. Let us be ready to grasp the opportunities when they come.
 Mr.. s. M Bixby brought in some of his wonderful Philippine wheat and left d sample at our office this week. He informs us that the grain expert of the United States Department of Agri- culture had visited his place and secured all the wheat of this kind that he had to spare for use in experiments by the government. It seems this is a very valuable grain, and SO far the Depart ment has been unable to secure any of
 it. This wheat is as fine plump grains as one could wish to see, and the plant has the pecuiarity of being d bearded wheat while growing, but upon rpening the boards fall off leaving the heads clean. The sample left at our office is certainly fine, Imperial wheat growing will be a success if this variety is grown.

 News From the River
 President Gleason of Imperial Water Company No. l, returned last Tuesday morning from the heading of the Inn peria canal at the Colorado river, and reports that very satisfactory progress is being made toward closing the lower Mexican heading. The plans of Super intendent Beach are proving entirely feasible, and the work is progressing rapidly. About forty Indians are em- ployed in cutting brush and bringing it to the place of use, and crew of sixteen white men are operating the pile driver, which is doing the work in in a manner that is all that can be desired. Mr. Gleason measured the water in front of the canal heading in the river and found it inst ten feet deep while similar measurements in the canal gave depth of thirteen feet. This shows that the canal bottom is already lower than the bottom of the river and emphasizes the necessity of shutting it up. The river is flooding it's banks, however, and large amount of water will find its way into the canal any way, but as there is a very dense growth of brush along the river this water will not have any current of conseuuence. Mir. Gleason thinks that by the first of the coming week Mir. Beach will have the dam com pleted and the water shut out. There IS absolutely nothing to the story that the Colorado river is coming this way. Beach will very shortly have the water under control, and while q large amount lii W
