SAN BERNARD1NO, July 1.-THE
Southern Pacific tracks at Salton ar,
in serious danger of being WASHED
away by the continually rising waters
of the Salton sea. The company has
three work trains in the vicinity try.
ing to save the tracks, which in mauy
places are already softened and tn,
trains have to reduce their speed al.
most to a snail pace to get over them
If the sea should continue to rise the
company will be compelled to build a
complete new roadbed either through
the sea or around it, which will re-
quire many miles of new track.
The continued presence of the big IN
land sea is having a very perceptible
effect on the desert climate, which is
now moist and sultry instead of very
dry as in the past.
San Bernardlno Man Hurt
Word has been received here by the
parents of Ernest Hudson that he Is
severely injured and unconscious at
Winslow. 1t is supposed that his in
juries are a result of some sort of q
train accident as he was supposed to
be making his way across the country.
His mother and brother from this city
have gone to care for him. He
is not expected to live. Hudson lost
a brother some years ago in this city
by his falling under train and the
family fear that the second son has
met similar fate.
A man whose name is supposed TO
be Lawrence and whose home is be-
lieved to be in Los Angeles was in
jured by a Santa Fe train in some
mysterious manner last night near
Verdemont station, twelve miles north
of this city. He was found writhing In
pain by the station agent about mid
night, an hour or so after No and a
light engine had passed. He was
brought to a hospital in this city on
a light engine and has been uncon-
scious most of the time since. AT first
he refused to give any one any infor
nation as to his identity. His left
foot is nearly cut off and his skull is
fractured, beside other serious injur-
les in the way of bruises and possibly
internal injuries. 1t is supposed the
snlan either fell from a train on Which
he was stealing a ride or else was
struck by an engine. From his dress
he is a workingman.
The city water commission ha S
adopted specifications for a new we'll
for the municipal water works sys-
tenn. The well is to be the largest
in the valley, having 15-inch inside
measurement casing. 1t will go
through the cement stratum, which is
the point at which most wells stop,
and thus the city hopes to get much
better flow of water.
