Productive Valley Seems DeS-

of southern California which Is known
as the Salton sink. Salton sea. Imper-
ial valley. or Colorado desert. have re-
suited I'm the director Of the United
States Geological survey ordering an
immediate survey OF the entire area.
Great Inland Sea.
What is now a fertile and popuious
valley was for many centuries a great
lake or inland sea, hundred miles in
length, into which flowed the waters
OF the Colorado river Owing to cer-
tain changes in the course of the river.
the inflow ceased and the water of the
lake finally evaporated. At the lowest
point I'm the valley a salt marsh was
left, the bottom of which was nearly
800 feet below sea level.
Waters Break Through.
About a year ago an irrigation com
pany cut a shallow ditch through the
bank Of the Colorado river into this
basin, little later, at a 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 practically
the entire volume OF the water in the
river flows into the basin. During the
past six or eight months thousands of
dollars have been expended I'm various
Intellectual attempts TO control the In
flow OF the river. The salt marsh has
been enlarged to form a lake forty or
nifty miles In length.
The water lis rising at the rate of
about an inch day
Get Accurate Data.
The proposed surveys viii furnish
data for an accurate map of that por-
ton of the old lake that lies within

photographers OF the survey to show.

channels Of the two streams that carry
the water of the Colorado river to the
lake, and various other topographic
features.
With this data I'm hand a careful es-
