BATTLING WITH sALToN SEA.
banning the Colorado River to Avert
Further Floods.


Los Angeles, Nov. 25.-Two hundred
men, divided into day and night shifts;
twenty teams hauling brush and sand:
two pile drivers humping away almost
necessarily: two stern-wheel steamers
carrying construction materials and
commissary stores from Yuma-these
forces under Superintendent J. Tolin,
are engaged in the 1lerculean task of
building a six hundred foot dam across
the west CHANNEL of the Colorado river
four miles below Yuma, by which the
California Development company hopes
to bring the Salton sea to q standstill
and eventually restore the Salton sink
to dry bed through the evaporation
of the food waters that have worked
such havoc there. If the dam is a sue
cess the Southern Pacific railroad in
time will be able to abandon its sixteen
miles of shoo-Hy track east of Salton
and resume its main line. If the dam
is a failure forty miles and perhaps
more of ''shoo-1y'' may have to be built,
and the whole country may be deprived
Of its supply of canal water, and the
Colorado river may be diverted through
the river Padrones into Volcano lake,
thence to find its way northward through
the New river into the Salton sea-
What that would mean may be conjec-
tured from the damage already done by
the flooding of the great sink.

AGENT WILSON DISMISSED.
Santa Fe Central officials Put No
Faith in Robbery Story.


Faith in Robbery Story.
Albuquerque, N. NJ. Nov. 25.-J. E.
Wilson. the Santa Fe Central agent at
Willard, who declared that ne was
held up and robbed of S225 of the
company's money a week ago last
Tuesday night, has been dismissed
summarIly by the company on Suspi-
cion of his having made away with
the company's funds and invented tn e
story of the robbery.
This information was brought to
Albuquerque by Contractor Mcdonald,
who has work on the Belen cut off.
According to Mr.. Mcdonald the com
pany not only asked Wilson to resign
but attached S175 of the salary yet
due him as part payment of the short
age which it is claimed Wilson is re-
sponsib1e for.
tits understood, from another source,
that when the company checked up
the Willard accounts an amount con-
siderably short of $3.50 only was miss
ing instead of $225 as at first reported.
AS Mr.. Wilson's stories did not hang
together, suspicion was aroused and
the agent was asked to resign, upon
which he Immediately turned over a
check for SITS and the COMPANY
agreed not to prosecute him.
The company officials after a short
investigation Immediately formed the
theory that Wilson had made up the
holdup story out of whole cloth, and
sASIO4 0i1AS 70 the Story at once renewed
him of his job.
Mr.. Wilson has always borne a good
reputation. He is married, his wife re-
siding in the east. His friends in Will
lard claim that he has been wrongly
used by the company, that he had no
time to make any defense, and that
the charge against him is absolutely
unjustidable.
The story told by Wilson regarding
the robbery was that he was leaving
the office with the money at 1880
O'Clock at night, his custom being to
keep the funds in his own house, as
the company had no safe at Willard.
He says the men took the money from
him at the point of guns and forced
him to walk half q. mile down the rail-
road track without looking behind
let's.
s. B. Grirnshaw, assistant to the gen
eraI manager, with the penitentiary
bloodhounds, Immediately went to the
scene of the robbery in a special train
and the mounted police also aided in q
most thorough search for the supposed
bandits without avail
It was thought that the scent of the
men who did the job had been oblfter-
ated by She tracks Of others who had
walked back and forth across the
trail. At any rate the dogs failed to
take any trail and the search was
given up as hopeless.

manufacture seventy-ive coaches and
