COLORADO RIVER
CONQUERED AT LAST.

Imperial, Cal. Oct. 27.-The fam
Gus Salton sea, the creation of the
runaway Colorado river, must soon
cease to be. The work of turning the
river back into it's old channel has
progressed SO that now the river
which fell into the Salton sea from
the overflow is falling rapidly, and
will entirely cease to discharge water
into the sea within two or three days
thus r6eaining control of the Colo
RADIO just in time to save the South
ern Pacific railroad from the neces-
sity of building a new line across
me Colorado desert The evaporation
of water on the desert is about three
feet a year. and it is estimated that
it will take seven or eight years for
the Salton sea to wholly disappear.

cATRoN's AMBITIONS
GET ANOTHER BLOW.

(Speclal Mail correspondence Oh tne
Daily Record.)
Santa Fe, n. NJ, Oct. 26.-The
chances for the Hon. Thomas Ben
ton Catron to secure seat in the
next Council have been materially
reduced this week. After he had
been beaten in the district conven-
tion at Las Vegas and his opponent
nad been indorsed by the Democrats
of this county, he concluded to seek
to compel the Probate Clerk of this
county to place his name on the reg
ular Republican ticket in this coun-
ty, contending that he had received
the regular Republican nomination
for the Council from this county. A
petition for a mandamuS was filed
in the district court mere yesterday,
asking that mandamus issue requir-
name on the official ballots, but
Judge McFie refused to issue the
mandamus and intimated that the
court would not interfere in the mat
ter He stated, however, that he
would hear arguments on the matter
submit the question. The petition
was withdrawn, and Mr.. Catron's
name will not appear on the official
ballot.
Mr.. Catron hoped to stcure the
| nomination for the Council at the
hoy Of of
val county who had a convention at
Bernalillo yesterday, but none of the
delegates looked with favor on the
plan and the result was that E. A.
Miera, who secured the district nomi
| nation at Las Vegas. and the endorse
| here, also received the Republican
nomination in Sandoval county. Mr..
| Catron seems to be on slippery
ground and is falling down at every
| turn.
The plan which had been formulat-
ed by the friends and supporters OF
H. o. Bursum to get a majority OF
! the legislature and strew thorns in
| the pathway of Governor Hagerman
seems TO be working much after the
| fashion of balky horse. The mem
| bers of the late grating Legislature
| have not been very fortunate in Sc
| curing nominations, though some OF
them, like Pendleton, used every eff
| fort to secure nominations.

place within the past six months
have aroused the people of the Ter

ing six of the children away with
