The Coconino sun., 1906-03-24

The special rule for sending the statehood bill to conference was adopted by the house Thursday by vote of TO for to 40 against it. When the statehood bill was re- ceived from the house, Beveridge. chairman of the committee on ter ritories, moved that the senate in- sist upon its amendments and agree to the request for confer ence. Senator Foraker moved to amend the motion and provide that the senate, instead of the vice pres idle 1t appoint the conference. The adoption of Foraker's m O ti 0 n would allow the opponents of joint statehood to name the conferees. Upon Foraker's suggestion the whole matter went over until Fri day.
The Coconino sun., 1906-03-24

The statement of the town clerk wh i c h is required by law to be published prior to the election of town officials every two years, IS published in this issue of the SUN. The statement shows the receipts of the general fund for the two years to have been So,Ioo. 36 and the dis bursements to have been SIo, 527- .25. The revenues O f the general fund come but from few sources. License tax amounting to S4,7o6- 20; from property tax S3,165.o5. Of the street tax but S2oI. 50 was collected, while the poll list shows
 366 voters who should have paid the tax. The dog tax shows that but S36.37 was collected in the two years, the report showing the town to be reasonably free from dogs. The largest item of expense was the work done on the River de Flag in 1905 being S3,472.55; for street work SI,765.2o. The expenditures during the two years are reason able and with little effort on part of the officials the receipts could have been made to exceed the ex- penditures. The water works have needed some unlocked for repairs

Surveys Of SaltOn Sea.

The changes now taking place in that part of southern California which is known as the Salton sink, Salton sea, Imperial valley, or Colorado desert are of so wide spread popular and scientific in- terest that the director of the United States geological survey has ordesed an immediate survey of the entire area.
 What is now a fertile and popu- lous valley was many centuries ago a great lake or inland sea, hundred miles in length, into which flowed the waters of the Colorado river. Owing to changes in the course of the river, the inflow ceased and the water of the lake finally evaporated. At the lowest point in the valley salt marsh was left, the bottom of which was nearly 300 feet below sea level.
 About a year ago an irrigation mpany cut a shallow ditch through the bank of the Colorado river into this basin. A little later, at time when the water in the river was very high, the banks of this ditch were cut away and its bottom was secured out by the rapid current, so that now practic- ally the entire volume of the water in the river flows into the basin.
 During the past six or eig h t months thousands of dollars have been expended in various ineffec- tual attempts to control the inflow of the river. The salt marsh has been enlarged to form lake 40 or so miles in length, the water of which is rising at the rate of about an inch a day.
 The proposed surveys will fur nish data for an accurate map of that portion of the old lake that
 
 lies within the United States, and will enable the photographers of the survey to show, in correct po- sitions on the map the numerous towns within the area, the chan nels of the two streams that carry the water of the Colorado river to the lake, and various other topo- graphic features. With these data in hand, careful estimate can be made of the time that it would take to fill this great lake basin again, should the course of the Colorado river not be changed.
