dollars, the cost of the dam, and other millions, in loss of irrigation.
 A vast scheme to restore the river to its old bed, now almost ready for execu- ton, has been planned by one of our greatest railway engineers, Col. Epes Randolph. A branch railroad twelve miles long has been built from the main line of the Southern Pacific, through thickets and jungles to the break. The plan is based on concerted action; two thousand men have been carefully in- structed how to act at the critical mo- ment When the exact time for action mand-and they will act with the accu- racy of machine. Each man will know just what to do. First will come hun dreds of mattress men bearing great mattresses or bundles of willows bound with heavy wire ropes. These will be sunk to the bottom. The pile drivers will pin them down with heavy piles. This line of bundres and piles will ex- tend 1000 feet across the break. Trains loaded with large stones will then be backed across the break and the stones will be dropped on the bundles. And then another layer of mattresses and another of stones will be added, and SO on up to the bottom of the railroad track. Carloads of fine stone and gravel will he dumped on the dam until the colossal barrier is completed. More than half of the water will be diverted around the dam through q side canal while the work is going on. The scheme is com prehensivc indeed. \ vast quantity of material will bc at hand on each bank When the dam is finished the great head gate in the side canal will be closed, and the river will return to its original course, on to the t'ult of California, thus saving the Imperial valley and it's precious .oil tn which many millions are invested

and the formation of new sea, have conspired to make this year one of striking geologic unrest, turbulence, and confusion. The Colorado river has en- tirely ceased flowing in its ancient course to the Gulf of California; has forsaken it's channel traversed during uncounted centuries; and now pours silt-laden floods into one of the most remarkable Impressions known to geologlsts-the Salton Sink.
 The lowest depth of this sink is 2s7 feet below sea level. Millions of years ago it was connected with the Pacific ocean, and was therefore filled with salt water. Later, this connection with the ocean was filled up with fine silt from Colorado and Utah. The fierce semi tropic sun of Southern California made short work of evaporation. The sea
 
 the bottom. And then, million or two years later, the Southern Pacific Railway Company put down tracks to the center of the sunken area, backed in whole trains of cars, shoveled up the pure white salt, and sent it to Chicago and New York. I have seen them filling cars standing on tracks more than 250 fset below the level of the ocean, whoze waves were beating beyond that bull wark, the San Jacinto mountains, and have wondered what would happen if an earthquake came and suddenly split the giant granite walls.
 In remote ages the Gulf of California extended to the northwestern end of what is now the Salton Sink, just includ ing the site of the town of Indio, on the Southern Pacific railroad. The ancient beach can now be traced around the primeval depression. It contains oceanic remains and prehistoric debris. In places, marks worn by waves can be seen in the rocky shores.
 All the buildings of the salt works, the homes of the workmen, the machinery, railway tracks and stations are now (July 15) fiity-live feet under water. The sea is iorty-fve miles long and from twelve to twenty miles wide. It is now rapidly rising and will continue to rise until the new dam is finished, or until the Colorado river lowers to a stage where its inflow due to gravity will be balanced by evaporation from the sur face of the sea. Then the sea will be stationary. At present, all the water of the river is pouring with rush and roar into the sink. \ man crossed the for saken bed near Yuma with horse and buggy, and the wheels were not in water. For the fact stands out that the bottom of the new channel, cut in yiell- ing silt. i- lower than that ui the old

put across high and strong enough to turn the river away from the Salton Sink into its original bed, and to the gulf. This problem is now attracting the attention of the Southern Pacific Railway Company, the California De- velopment Company, and the Imperial Land Company. The ablest hydraulic engineers are on the ground, and elab- crate plans are being worked out. The work will be costly, but many millions are at stake.
 Not the Nile nor the Ganges, the Mis- sissippi nor the Amazon, has brought down from continental areas and depos- ited richer soil than has the Colorado. Several years ago 1 explored bare and denuded wastes in Colorado. Later, 1 descended to the profound depths of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, in Ari zona, amid the scenic splendors of the earth, and wondered where the p, oducts of hundreds of millions of years of wear ing and abrasion might then be- For l the colossal canyon, 300 miles long and 1 from 5000 to 6,200 feet in depth, was entirely excavated by sand and silt l laden water.
 l climbed tower in Calexico, Cal, and saw all the material-nearly 12,000 square miles of it, and of great, but un- known depth. The expanse is hemmed in by mountain ranges on all sides save the southern, where, extending into Mexico, it stretches far and away to the gulf. This area is composed entirely of silt of exceeding fineness. Since lS45, it l has been called the Colorado desert-an appropriate name, for death awaited man, animal or bird attempting to cross its mystery profound But now entire squate miles are covered with crops of grain, grasses fruits and vegeta bles, all growing in almost tropical luxuriance. The rapidity of growth astonishes all who behold. Since 1901, water supplied from the Colorado river by network of canals has turned this precious expanse, this splendid valley, into remarkable garden - the hothouse of the United States. The very soil cries out for hundred thousand from the pent-up east to come, plant and till And now rich fields are being worn away from the western side of the lovely vale by rapid floods and deposited in that capa- cious and hungry desert maw, the Salton Sink. Houses, hay, grain, fruits, vege- tables, roses, and carnations are torn away and hurried to the bottom of the new sea.
 "Oh, look! :" was an exclamation | heard in Mexicala, just across the line from CalexicO A house was falling into the boiling flood. "See that little cof-

 were lowered into the flood, which pressed them against the perpendicular walls, diminishing the cutting force of the water. The advance water of the coming flood traversed the dry bed of a small stream, New river, flowing, at times, northward past Calexico to the sink. The new floods cut out this channel, but not fast enough, so they overfowed and became wide and rapid stream.
 The California Development Company began eXcavating the elaborate system of canals in the autumn of 1900. On July l, 1901, the first water in quantity sufficient to irrigate l ,000 acres was de- livered in the Imperial valley, 60 miles west of the head of the canal leading out of the river eight miles below Yuma. When the present flood came water was being supplied to 225, 1000 acres. Silt was deposited in the first cut in the river bank. This lessened the speed of the water and allowed more silt to settle. Another intake was cut below the first. It clogged up. X third was dug still lower. It choked also. These three cuts were in California. But the Imperial valley folk put up great cry for more water, as the valley was rapidly increas ing in population. The company decided to go still lower down the river into Mexico They cut another canal, fifty feet wide, leading into the main Imperial canal. The idea was to get greater incline, with increased velocity of water, so that silt would not be deposited, and afford temporary relief to the farmers below. The Colorado was at a low stage, and the engineers thought that gates could be put in long before the regular flood time came on.
 But an unlocked for trouble came The Gila river suddenly poured a wall of water into the Colorado at Yuma. This unexpected flood soon found its way into the new cut in the Mexican bank. Silt i lldu no tlille tO ldli. luStedu, lIlc cut deepened and both banks began to cave into the stream ever increasing in mo- mentum. Soon alarm came into the minds of the engineers, and hurried at tempts were made to secure control. Piles were driven above all the ditches into the bed of the Colorado. Willows were cut, bound with cables and lowered alongside of the piles; and stones were thrown upon them.
 By this time the annual flood of the Colorado had come, and the first, second and third attempts, as they are called, were destroyed. Piles, willow bundles and stones were swept away as grass. A large island opposite the Mexican ditch vanished, and floods came on apace. The hew 50-fOot canal soon widened to 100, to 800, to 1000, to 1000 feet; and the roaring waters seethed in an angry flood cutting out banks and tearing down trees
 When the first water of the food reached the sink it poured over into it with great speed. And then a wonder iul thing occurred-eutting backward, At once the falls pr rapids began to go up stream. At times the rate of rcces- sion was half a mile in a4 hours. fl this

A SURPRISE.

1t develops that the regular ses-
sion Of the Legislature passed 159
bills, which have been delivered
to the Governor. More than
four-fifths of these were passed in
the last four days Of the session.

legislation is of crude and i'm
perfect nature, and already num-
Der of amendments are found
necessary.
