THE RISING sALroN
Whole Flood of the Colorado Pouring
 Into lt.

Deputy Sheriff Reilly of Yuma, was in the city Sunday. He said that the Salton sea is constantly rising at the rate of from half an inch to an inch day and that it is now tn ought that it will continue to grow until the entire basin is filled when the over flow waters will find an outlet into the gulf through New river.
 The whole volume of the Colorado is now pouring into the sea whereas during the summer part of the flow found its way through it's accustomed channel to the gulf. Shortly before he left Yuma, MT. Reilly said that ne saw some Indians living along the old river channel several miles below town and they told him that they now had to dig in the bed of the river for water.
 Though efforts are still being made to stop the flow of the river out of it's old channel it is not believed now that it will be possible. At the outlet the river has cut channel 150 feet wide and the bottom of it considerably low CT than the bed of the river and the water is pouring through with great velocity. As a matter of fact, the work of stopping the outlet has succeeded several times but the current quickly washed out another below the old one and the succeeding condition has always been worse.
 The sea is about ninety miles long now and forty wide. The basin is more than 200 miles in length and more than eighty in width. Even if the flow of the river should not be interrupted it would take some years

 The doctors confidence in the com plete stamping out of the disease is strengthened largely by his experience in this valley eleven years ago when there was an epidemic of the disease on the south side At that time fifty glandered horses were killed and there has never been case in that part of the country since then.
 The disease is a terrible one and the more so because there is no cure for it and it is sometimes transmitted to the human family. Very strenuous measures are taken for its stamping out in all civilized countries when it appears as was instanced by an Amer ican snowman who recently had his amusement aggregation crippled in Germany. He had lot of horses and glanders broke out among them. The German officials did not wait for any testing or quarantine measures, but proceeded at once to kill all the horses in the show.

A FINE NIGHT-CAP. The Best Thing in the World to go to
 Bed and Sleep on.

My wife and I fined that 4 teaspoon fuls of Grape-Nuts and a cup of hot milk or some cream, with it, makes the finest night-cap in the world" says an Allegheny, Pa., man.
 We go to sleep as soon as we strike the bed, and slumber like babies till rising time in the morning.
 It is about years now since we be- gan to use Grape-Nuts food, and we always have it for breakfast and be- fore retiring and sometimes for lunch. I was so sick from what the doctors called acute indigestion and brain flag before I began to use Grape-Nuts that I could neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. I was afflicted at the same time with the most intense pains, accompanied by a racking head ache and backache, every time 1 tried to eat anything. Notwithstanding an unusual pressure from my professional duties, I was compelled for a time to give up my work altogether.
 "Then I put myself on diet of Grape Nuts and cream alone, with an occasional cup of Postum Food Coffee as rdnnerup, and sometimes little dry toast. I asure you that in less than a week I felt like new man-I had gained pounds in weight, could sleep we'll and think well.
 "The eood work went on, and I was soon ready to return to business. and have been hard at it, and enjoying 1t ever since. Command me at any time any one enQuires as to the merits oi Grape-Nuts. I ou will find me aiwaT> really to testify" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

GOT THINGS MOVING
What nr. Hapke did in Very Short
 Time.

Theodore Hapke left Sunday morning for his home in Chicago af-
 ter spending several weeks in the city in which time he let the contracts
 for the construction of the beet sugar
 factory at Glendale and arranged the many small but necessary details for
 the making of the beet sugar industry
 in this valley. Saturday he was es-
 pecially busy and during the day clos ed some of the contracts he has had
 under consideration for several weeks.
 To James Burson the contract was
 awarded for the erection of a concrete
 base for the big engine to be used in
 the operation of the plant. This is all
 the concrete work MT. Hapke will
 have done before the concrete mixer
 he has ordered will arrive from the
 factory. It was desirable to nave this
 particular work done at once so that
 when the machinery arrives it can be
 put in place and the second handling
 of the same be avoided.
 The De Mund Lumber company was given the contract for the furnishing of the mill work such as doors and window frames, and also for the ce- ment, 5000 barrels of which or fifty
 carloads will be used. A part of the
 lumber contract goes to T. w Cham berlain, who is to furnish the water tables and window sills. The Cham berlain company will also furnish the tufa rock from which the belt course
 around the building will be built. The tufa will be secured from the quarry recently opened near Winkleman. The brick work will be begun just as soon as brick can be made ready for use. This, it is thought will be Thurs day for the plant will turn out it's first
 brick on that day. One machine with a capacity of 15,O0O brick will be oper-
 ated and two hand moulding gangs each capable of turning out 5000 brick a day will be worked.
 MT. Hapke postponed his trip to Los Angeles until later in the year, much
 of which ne had planned to accomplish | on the coast having been accomplished by correspondence. Enroute east he will stop off for several days at Dem yer to confer with a party regarding contract to construct a factory in Colorado. When he returns to Ari- zona, which will be in about four | weeks, he will be accompanied by his
 wife and family.
 To make the beet sugar factory success it is now necessary for the rancherS of the valley to plant a large part of their acreage in sugar beets. | To assist them in this work, labor hay | ing a good knowledge of the culture of | sugar beets can be secured from the | company at a very low price. There
 will be no delay in the sale of the beets
 after they are ready for the market, | for it is more than probable the fac | tory will be ready for operation before
 the first crop that can be planted will
 be harvested. Experiments in all parts
 of the valley have proven that the 1 crop will be a money maker for those 1 who plant the sugar beets.
