Tsr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRrsuSE.l


San Francisco. March 6.-The Salton Sea. the
phenomenon which lead to so much talk few
years ago. has again appeared. and there is
once more a vast inland sea in the Colorado
Desert This time the men who are engaged In
engineering work in bringing the waters OF the
Colorado River under control for irrigation pur-
poses are blamed for the inundation. The Col
orado River, which is high, has simply backed
up in the canals and in the new river, and thus
forced it way into the heart Of the desert, which
is three hundred feet below sea level
The oasis is thus filed. the sea stretches from
Ocean Beach to Walters. There is a complete
tie-up of salt works at Salton This, however
cannot be called a disaster. for when the sea
came in for the first time it helped enormously
TO increase the output of SALT as it enabled the
managers to use gang ploughs to cut deep into
the salt layers.
In Arizona, where there never known to
be any water. great lakes have been formed,
and the presence of this water is said to have
changed the climate considerably. These lakes
prove the value Of irrigating, for since the ap-
pearance of this water there have come into
existence vast fields of grass, which proves that
the soil under irrigation would be capable of
supporting crops.
