and settles their ownership of the water, the fact that there are no good places to locate diversion works below the line is very serious handicap to operations under it's provisions.
 Water has an enormous force when 1t IS on rampage, and headgates of cement and steel built on solid rock foundations are needed to control 1t. Just such headgates are already built at Hanlon's heading and will soon be Tn use.
 With the completion of the dam across the intake, now being built by the California Develop ment company, the river will be returned to it's old channel and the water for this valley will be diverted in American territory and under the laws of this coun- try. This will considerably simplify the Colorado river prob lem as a question between the United States and Mexico, as this concession can then be elim- mated except as regards the pas sage ot water through Mexico while en route from Hanlou's s heading to this valley.
 The California Development company had ample rights cov- ering this before the concession was granted and those rights would still be in force even if they should abandon the conces- sion at any time. Work is rapid ly progressing toward the solu- tion of the Colorado river prob lem, and that work which is most vital to the people of the valley and most helpful to the final out come, is that of damming the in- take and transferring the place of diversion to American terri tory. With the United States Reclamation Service co-operatin g with the Southern Pacific in this undertaking, it's success is as- Sured.
 The thought and invest1ga- tion the Colorado problem is re- Ceiving will undoubtedly bring forth plan by which it's resources will be devoted to their high est use: that of making homes for the landless man on the man- less land. This has been accom- p1ished with the Rio Grande. Shall it be said that the people of Imperial Valley are less intel 1igent or less wide awake than the people of the Rio Grande valley? Or that E1 Paso is more progressive than San Diego? No!
 The problem of the Colorado will be solved, and a material contribution will be made to that end by the discussions and action of the forthcoming Colorado River Convention at San Diego.
 Imperial Valley should be we'll represented at that meeting for our people are most vital1y in- terested.

gate, and the work of putting 1t there will soon be done. The river stage is keeping up beyond the usual time of it's decline, but as this is from local rains in Arizona, 1t will not be liable to keep up much longer. With the situation in hand, as 1t is at pres ent, the shutting of the intake can be forecasted to be an accom- pl1shed fact within thirty days from the time the flow of the river reaches ten thousand cubic feet per second.
 While the people outside of the valley may wait till the work is done and the result actually accomplished before taking action to secure some of our rich lands, those in the valley are discounting the outcome by going ahead with their work the same as If there had never been Mexican intake or an- overflow into Salton Sea. While the menace of the floods was very real when they were present, the cutting out of the big channels Tn New river and Alamo has taken them away forever. The cutting back of the channel be- yond Mexicali is still going on, but 1t has about fifteen miles yet to go before it will interfere with our water suply. Meantime, the work at the Colorado river will be crowded to completion at the earliest possible moment, and there is plenty of time to do it twice over before the channel cutting in New river will menace our water supply.
 The Imperial Valley farmers are not worrying about whether the Southern Pacific will shut the water off or not. They know they can do it, and believe will do 1t, and believe 1t will be done just as soon as 1t possibly can be.
 This being their frame of mind they are not afraid to discuss the Colorado river problem, or any other problem that interests them. For this reason they are iu favor of solving the Colorado river problem in the most endur- ing manner possible. This ques- tion is receiving a great deal of thought here in the valley, for 1t is not believed by anyone, that the Southern Pacific will con- tinue in the irrigation business any longer than is necessary. After them we shall have one of three things: Either they will sell to private corporation, or to the people of the valley them selves, or to the United States government. and this last con- tingency is really sale to the people, after all.
 While it is proper to look we'll to the present, and this is being done, it is also prudent to con- slider the future. Large opera tions move slowly, so 1t is we'll to give these things thoughtso that when the time for decision arrives our people will be ready with
