COLORADO FLOW WILL SOON RE
 STOPPED
Engineer Claims That in Four Months Channel Will Be Closed and Great SaIton Sea Will Soon Disappear.

According to Wolf Sachs of Tempe and Mesa, who was visitor here yes terday, work at the intake of the Im- perial canal, which is now the bed of the Colorado river. where it flows into the Salton sea, is progressing slowly but surely, says the Phoenix Republi- can.
 A determined effort is being made by the California Development com pany To shut off the How into the sea and turn it back into the rivers form CT channel. Officials in charge state, says MT. Sachs, that the river will be turned and all water shut off from the sea in four months, but MT. Sachs gives it as his private view that good work will have been done if the wa ter is turned in seven or eight months. Of course, a great deal depends on the Colorado river. At present it is in Q comparatively low stage. and if there are no heavy rains along its source this winter, the work at the intake will progress unretarded, but should there be floods of any size, the work may not only be held back but perhaps much that has already been accomplished will be undone.

Strong Co. Formed for Vine Growing Wine Making in
 Graham County.

A deal was closed this week in Clifton whereby the 400 acre ranch owned by E. M. Williams at Duncan passed under control of the Italian Colony, company incorporated with capital stock of $50,000, which will take possession of the property on the first of next month. and will at once proceed to plant the broad acres with grapes suitable for wine making, says the Copper Era.
 It is the object of the company to erect a distillery as soon as the vines e mmence to bear fruit. The company will also do a general market garden ing business.
 The deal was promoted by J. c. Gatti, one of Clifton's most enter prising citizens, who is also largely interested in the company, Gatti was the promoter of the Italian Colony. located near Los Angeles, which now has 4000 acres under cultivation, and which has been pronounced success from the start The officers of the company are J. c.

He. in company with Alexander Alexander, were here to consummate the deal, and were more than well pleased with the country around Duncan as well as the possl- bility of the local market for all sup plies which the company will pro Guce.

ago he accepted position with the company, which is doing the greater part of the work there for the Development co mpany. They are employing some where in the neighborhood of six hundred head of horses and mules and are doing all the team work on the project. The railroad company is working a number of men, and alto gether about seven hundred men are employed there. MT. Sachs took with him from Tempe when he started work on the river, about fifty head of live equipment. He has found use for more horses and mules and his trip here was for the purpose of securing them. He attended a sale at Buckeye a few days ago and got few good teams but is still on the lookout for more. He expects to ship a carload either from here or Tempe tomorrow night. He says he has good paying proposition there and the more teams he can work, the more there is in it for him. His camp is about four miles above the break in The river bank and Shattuck and Desmond have three ether camps between him and where the break is being repaired.
 The river channel where it runs into the sea now. at the point where the dam is being built is about fifteen f,undred feet wide and perhaps half of this amount is closed up. The building of the dam. though. is only a portion of the project and there is other work upon which much Of the force is spent that is equally as inn rcrtant. The way ihe project is be- ing carried out and the break in the river bank being repaired is tnis: It Is generally known that no water in the river is nassing the intake of the canal-in other words the river is to- tally dry below the break and as the water has run on into the sea. the rivers charnel above the break has Geepened. In filling in the break, if the water had to be forced hign enough to run on down the original channel of the river. it would require a dam acroes the break of great size and strength: one that would be i'm possible to build against the pressure of the river. A plan is being put into execution. however, which will relieve the pressure of the river against the dam as fast as the water is forced back by the building of 1t.
