thoroughly cleaned and repaired
In the near future diagram anc
plot of the new academy block
will be made. Ball grounds and
grounds for other sports, neat
little park and other features will
be provided. We will need many
good shade trees early next spring,
so here is an opportunity for the
people of the valley to show their
generosity and interest in the
school by donating trees. We
suggest that every man, woman
and child plant tree and give il
their name, and that diagram
and record be kept of the same,
so that in future years they would
be proud of the tree bearing their
name.
Remember school begins August
9th. Be here to commence work;
it means much to you tn have an
equal start with your classmates.
Write TO the principal if you de.
sire to secure rooms before you

rent to students. If you desire
any of these rooms, make arrange
meuts early, or you may be too

eating 65 fish per day. After that
10 day were sufficient. Mr..
bunch was the bunter who slew
the deer, bear and turkeys, Mr..
Dial caught the grasshoppers and
Mr. Broshears and the ladies
caught the fish. Mr.. Dial and Mrs.
Broshears are the only ones who
fell into the river. Both gentle.
men declare that Mr.. Dial killed
'nlI teen hocks OF qaall at one shot
and could have done better had
there been any more around.
Mr.. Dial visited Springerville

was assinated in Kentucky, going
to Black river. They were ac-
companied by their wives and two

progress in cutting back the main chan nel the floods carried away a portion
 of the main canal at the Evergreen
 heading and turned Brawley and a large part of Number One without wat CT for several days. The promptness with which this break was, repaired and the comparatively small amount of damage that resulted is good evil dence of the virility and alertness of MT. Cory and the present management of the California Development com pany The work of the river in carry
 ing away Mexicali and threatening Ca lexico has been sight to attract the people for miles and has been visited by many Valley residents. There has been illustrated the thing that is hap pening all along the river channel. Af- ter the water has eroded its channel to such depth that the water surface is 20 to 30 feet below the land level then erosion is all the more likely to occur.
 The formation is likely to be sandy and soft below the water level and thus be quickly washed away. The removal of this underpinning leaves the great tall bank without foundation and it breaks off and tumbles into the river. As the river lowers its course it is li- able to cut out bends for itself in order to produce the proper grade on which that volume of water should run. In this way vast amounts of earth is cut out and washed away. The experi- ence of Mexicali is being repeated at dozens of places in the desert solitude. The cutting back in New river channel is progressing rapidly, the overpour be- ing now at least one mile beyond Mex cali and apparently taking "bee line. !" The cutting back of this channel and of the one that joins sitsanear Silsbee has now become the point of interest to our people. The immense volume of water which has been discharging through New river has all come down across Mexico from the Mexican in- take. The fact that no more water has reached Sharp's heading than could be safely cared for argues that the rest of
