BUILDS BIG JETTY
IN THE COLORADO
DEVELOPMENT COMPANY HAS
GREAT TASK ON HAND
TO CONTROL SALT0N INTAKE
Huge Dredger and Many Men and
Teams Are Now at Work In
Anticipation Of Rainy
Season
TO CONTROL SALToN INTAKE

General superintendent r. H. In
Randolph and C. r. Rockford. assistant
geenral manager of the California De-
velopment company, returned to Los
Angeles yesterday morning by special
train from the vicinity of Yuma where
they have been inspecting the work now
in progress to stop the flow of the
Colorado river into the Salton sink.
Mr. Ingram and Mr.. Randolph spent
but one day at the intake while Mr..
Rockford has been on the scene for the
past two weeks experimenting the work
and will return there tomorrow.
There is no question but that we
shall be able to control the flow through
the intake once the gates are in, and
this 1 believe will be an accomplished
fact by the fifteenth of october or the
first of November" said Mr.. Randolph
yesterday.
THE jetty which we have under con-
struction a mile above the intake has
been extended into the river for a dis
ldlCC VI GOUU lCCls lliC piilll6 diC dli III
and the dumping of brush has COM
menced. This jetty is being built to
throw the water of the river into an
other channel and is simply an expert
ment. At the present time we have
made no attempt to turn the water from
it's present course but the work will
commence next week.
"There are $500 cubic feet of water a
second running through the intake as
opposed to 5000 cubic feet a month
ago, showing that we have the work
now we'll in hand. Between 1000 and
5000 of this is pouring into the Salton
sink. The remainder returns to the
river further down the stream.
Building Huge Gates
what is being accomplished on the
gates which are to control the intake
Well, we have all the material on the
ground and a large force of men and a
dredger are at work making the neces-
sary excavation. This is the hardest
part of the task which includes the re-
moval from the intake bed of over IT,
900 cubic yards of soil. AS this is be-
ing done where the water has depth
of from seventeen to twenty feet it is
being carried on with difficulty.
THE river is still falling. Yesterday
the flow was 1900 cubic feet second
and 1t has not yet reached its normal
level Ordinarily the rise does not be-
gin until we'll along in February. There
is no probability of a rise before De-
cember and but for the bitter expert
ence of the company last year when the
floods began in that month and lasted
until we'll along in the next spring, 1
should say that the river would remain
low until next January. 1t cannot be
depended upon. but the development
company has no doubt but that it's
property will be in good shape long be-
fore the first of next year"
Mr.. Ingram said yesterday that the
work being carried on by the develop
ment company was satisfactory to the
Southern Pacific, which since the con-
struction of it's detours around Salton
anticipates no further difficulty

WORK ON BUILDINGS HAS BEEN
POSTPONED
TROUBLE AT POLYTECHNIC
Superintendent Foshay Says pepsrt-
nnents VIII Be Moved Into New
Structure Even " tls
Not Finished

1--WE must get into the new Polytech-
mic high school when the term opens
the middle Of next month whether 1t
is completed or not" said superinten-
dent of Schools Foshay emphatically
yesterday. 1--WE have burned our
bridges and there is no turning back
now. We have figured on putting 1000
pupils out there and we have no other
place for them.
"The condition of the building is ur-
satisfactory to us. The contractor is
several months behind with his work.
Committees from the board of educa-
ton have several times gone out there
in an attempt to make him hurry, but
he never has had a large force at work
and there still remains much to be
done.
"It will Of course not be completed
when school opens but we will move In
anyway; we must. We have told the
contractor that we intended to move
in at that time. He said he could not
get the buildings ready. We replied
that whether he could or not he must,
and that anyway we should move in
at the appointed time
while the entire plant will not be
complete for some time, still there are
enough rooms done so that we can
move in and start work. We shall do
this and gradually start the various de-
partment as the building is completed" ="
Work Delayed
Since the bonds which were issued
several months ago to the extent OF
$730,O0O have been held up the construc-
ton of the new buildings in various
parts of the city which are so much
needed has also of necessity been post
poned.
"If the supreme court reports favor
ably on these bonds and we get the
money within the next two months we
shall go right ahead with the build
ings." said a member of the school
board yesterday. I'VE need the build
ings the worst kind and had hoped to
get them done in time for the opening
of the spring term in February, but
that is impossible now.
However If we get this money in a
couple of months we can get the build
ing finished in time for the opening OF
school after the vacation of 1906. that
is just one year from now. The build
ings we want to put up will be known
as the Grafton Street school, with
twelve rooms; Mailman Avenue and
Sunset Boulevard, four rooms; Fortieth
Street. twelve rooms; Central Avenue
and Fifty-third Street, twelve rooms;
Adams and Compton, twelve rooms;
Twelfth and Tennessee. sixteen rooms;
Euclid and Stevenson avenues, eight
rooms. In addition to this we hope to
make a number of additions to present
buildings.

DINING IN JAPAN.

H It's Your First Japanese Meal You
VIII Have a Trying Time.
If it's your first Japanese dinner
you're having dreadfully hard time.
In the first place you must sit on the
floor, for they don't have any chairs in
Japan. You kneel down. and then you
turn your toes in till one laps over the
other, and then you sit back between
your heels. At first you are quite
proud to find how well you do it, and
you don't think it's so very uncomfort-
able. But pretty soon you get cramp-
ed, and your legs ache as If you had
toothache in them. You don't say any
thing, because you think that if the
japanese can sit this way all day long
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both your feet go to
sleep, and then you can't bear it a
moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room to
give the prickles out Of your feet, and
all the little dancing girls giggle at
you. This isn't your only trouble Ell
Their. All you have to eat with is a
pair Of chopsticks, and you're in terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor. Now the floor of
Japanese house isn't just the floor;
it's the chairs and sofas and tables
and beds as well. At home it would
be Notifying enough to 60 out to din
ner and spill something on the floor,
but In Japan, where people sit and
sleep on the floor, 1t seems even worse.
50 you are unhappy till your little ne
san (who is the waitress and almost
as prettily dressed as the dancing girls,
but not Quite comes laughing to your
aid and shows you how to hold your
chopsticks. After that you, manage
nicely the rice and the omelet, but the
dsh and the chicken you can't contrive
to shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko-the little girls about
twelve years old-kneel down beside
You and help you. They can't keep
from giggling at your awkwardness,
but you don't mind; you just giggle,
too and everybody giggles and has
lovely time.-St. Nicholas.

Clever Schemes That Aid In the Pei

Clever Schemes That Aid In the Per-
petration Of Crime. .
"Thieves resort to clever methods in
order to get away with the goods" said
an old police officer, land I am firmly
convinced that if the criminals Of the
world would devote the same amount
Of time, talent and patience to think
ing out uplifting and advantageous
schemes for humankind they would
in a short while revolutionize the world
In many useful ways. But somehow
the mind of the criminal seems to
be sharper. if may say it. and bright
er and quicker than the mind Of the
honest man. The fact may be ex-
planned in any number of ways. In
the first place, the criminal has moth
ing to do but think out some plan
Of getting something that doesn't be-
long to him. That is his special bust
ness. Quite naturally the plan he
works out under those circumstances
will often startle even the oldest men
In the police departments of the coun-
try. Who would have thought of the
wire saw, thing so small that it can
be slipped in between the layers Of the
shoe sole, but the criminal who found
in it ready, convenient and unfailing
means Of escape? He is constantly
thinking up some new scheme. Here
we find man and woman in jewelry
store. The woman carries parrot with
her. The bird suddenly gets away and
begins to autter around in the store
The jeweler is afraid the parrot will
break something. He tries to catch it
and succeeds after short while. A
small purchase is made The man and
the woman leave Result, several hun
dred dollars worth of jewelry gone.
It was stolen during the excitement
over the bird. Good scheme, Ell? Yet
it is but one out of million worked
by the clever degenerates of the
world" = New Orleans Times Demo

Jamestown Capital: A friend of
the Capital, FIG. Bond, writes us from
Missoula, Mont, of his entrance to
jamestown in 1876 and of the trip to
Bismarck on the first train of the
season. The trip was made in March
and must have been unusually diff.
cult. He says: 80 49,. .
AS we pulled into Jimtown March
1876. 1t was about noon. A woman
opened the cabin door and rang
very small bell, this cabin being the
only place of shelter in sight.
The train was mixed one Of 8
engines, one snow plow, three passen-
ger cars, three box and fiat cars and
one cattle car.
The passengers were General Custer
and wife, End Lieut.. Walker of Co. G.,
18th Inf, N. P. R. R. Road Master
Fitzpatrick, a dispatcher, 80 recruits
for Fort Lincoln, about % were 60
ing to the Black Hills via Bismarck,
and one car of working cattle.
We were four days making Bis
marck after leaving Jimtown. Just
after leaving Jimtown we encounter
ed a blizzard. The cattle we're
turned loose on the prairie and never
recovered. The dispatcher cut the
only wire and wired to Fargo and Bis
marck for provisions; telegraph poles
were cut for fuel. The blizzard ragged
for three days and nights. The snr.
ply trains never reached us. AIKEN
we arrived in Bismarck number of
the passengers were snow blind.
1 believe this was Gen. Clusters
last ride alive on the railroad. The
train was the first one through that
spring and understood there had
been no trains running west of Fargo
that winter. In all it was very
rough trip at 10 cents per mile.
