The Rise of The saIton Sea

Last week we published the report that the water was rising three inches per day in the Salton sea and that the Government Date Farm would be flood ed in nine months if it continued to rise at that rate. We had this from party that resides i'll the Coachella Valley, but as he had not made any measure ments for himself we decided to write to our friend, B. c. Johnson, who has charge of the date farm, and is convers- ant with the facts, and get from him full statement of the matter. In an swer he sent us the following letter:
 MECCA, May :, 1906. MR. F. G. HAvENs,
 FL CENTRo, CALF.
 DEAR MIR. HAvENs: Your letter re- ceiyed yesterday. was unable to go to the lake today, and shall not be able to go there until Saturday.
 The lake is now only 3 1-2 miles in straight line from our place and as far as can calculate is at present at an ele- yation of-235 feet or thereabout. 1 do
  rate of three inches day for more than one or two days. I think the average raise since the floods commenced some weeks ago has only been in the neigh borhood of l 3-4 inches a day. Some days strong northwest wind will blow or drive the water back and the level will actually fall, but as soon as the wind lets mp the lake immediately comes back and it is probably on such days that raise of inches has been observed.
 The location of the date garden is at about 190 feet, so that we are only 4O feet above the lake and if your people don't shut off the lower Mexican intake next fall, then the next flood if it be normal would drive us away.
 I am not connected with the Recla- nation service, neither do l take any measurements or keep record of the level of the lake. understand that that is done at Salton, consequently you are at liberty to publish anything i am. writing you on this subject if 1t is of sufficient importance to you to justify publication.
 shall keep you informed from time to time about the situation at Mecca in regard to Salton Lake and hoping for a speedy closing off of the water remain.
 Very truly yours.
 BERNARD G. JOHNSON.
 We also wrote to the Reclamation Service and asked to be furnished the reports of the observations taken by them. The greatest depth that has ev- CT been reached in the SaltOn depres- sion, was 2S7 feet below sea level. As the level is now at about 235 feet it shows that the water is about so feet deep in the deepest part of the lake. When the railroad was moved last January. it was put on the 200 foot con tour, that is, 200 feet below sea level. The water level was then about 250 feet below, and it was believed that putting the railroad 30 feet sbove the water would make it safe, regardless of wheth- CT the water was shut off or not. How ever, as the water seems to be rising at the rate of about feet per month, 1t shows that the railroad people must either shut off the water or 'geG. move on" within a year at the farthest.

FOREIGN BIDS ARE
BARRED FOR PANAMA
CHAIRMAN sHoNTs ANNOUNCES
MANY CHANGES IN FORMS OF
CONTRACT FOR COMPLETION
OF THE CANAL.

Washington, December 15.-Foreign con-
tractors are to be barred from eompeti-
ton for the completion of the Panama
canal. Chairman Shonts of the canal COM
mission made this announcement today.
Many changes have been agreed To in the
form of contract TO be entered into for
the construction of the canal, but the
most important is the limiting of pro-
posals to American firms. The right will
be reserved by the commission to reject
all the bids submitted, in case none of
them is satisfactory, and the commits
sion will then either throw the COMPETE
ton open TO foreign bidders or proceed
with the work without contract.
January u is the date set for the OPEN
ing of proposals.
substantial reduction in the bond of
the successful bidder was also made by
the commission in compliance with the
request Of prospective bidders. The bond
will be only 100000 and the total liabil-
ity of the contractor is to be limited to
the loss of percentage and premiums,
otherwise payable to the contractor, and
100000 in addition.
Chairman Shonts indicated other
changes as follows:
1T was also provided that in case the
government should decide to terminate
the contract, when the contractor is not
in default, the contractor shall be paid
the cost of the work performed by him
to date and $250,OO0 in addition, to s1ch
percentage as may have been earned by
him upon such cost up to that time.
THE responsibility of the contractor
to the commission for all injuries or
damages inflicted upon the plant, canal
or it's auxiliary works, is limited to negli-
gence of himself. or any of his en-
ployes, or his sub-contractors, and of the
employees of such sub-contractors."
