Disastrous Results From Irriga-

ENGINEERS REALIZE DANGER
But Frantic Efforts to Change ths
coIorado's Course Back To Its Old
Bed, Have Failed-Thousand Of
People Occupying Government Lands
Will Be Driven Out

/
Detroit, Sept. 23.-Disastrous results
from irrigation in the Imperial valley
in southern California, were predicted
last night by George Y. Wisner, If De-
troit, an engineer of national rspura-l
ton, and member Of the international
waterways commission.
within twenty years, thousands or
people who have taken up government
lands In the Imperial valley, will be
driven out by the water their homes
and fields forming the bottom cf an
immense inland sea" he said. "The
cause Of the coming catastrophe is
poor engineering, in diverting the.
course Of the Colorado river for irrisa
ton purposes. The river has cut into
the banks Of Its new course to such an;
extent that nearly all the Colorado river
flows down into the valley Engineers
realize the danger, but after many
frantic efforts, have failed to change
the rivers course back to Its old bed.
Not for twenty years Will evaporation
down there be equal to the inflow into
tie valley. BY that time million
acres Of the valley, which Is from six
ty to 265 feet below the sea level. will
be covered by the inland sea-"

Representative Of tile government. al
though she did not travel with any
such credentials As the daughter of
the president, she was regarded by the
oreintals as they regard the reigning
families OF European Kingdoms. The

good will for the United States; and
Miss Roosevelt could not have declined
any, not even the pearl from the Sultan
Of Jolo without placing this govern
ment in the attitude of rejecting
friendly overtures.
