last Wednesday to take a look at the situation himself aud to de- termine the advisability of turn ing the entire flow of Alamo rive CT out through the waste gate at Sharp's. It is proposed by Mir. Cory to do this and to shut the water off from Imperial Water companys No. 5 and No. : for about ten days or two weeks and endeavor to sluice out the chan nel, so as to reduce the volume flowing across to New river and thus lessen the channel cutting above referred to and dam the outlet iu that direction. Itis be- lieved that ten thousand cubic feet of water per secoud can be handled at Sharp's heading by wasting it through its various outlets. The Colorado is still flowing above 15,O00 secoud feet, so 1t is too early to undertake this as yet, but the river has been falling quite rapidly of late de- spite the rains, and is liable to reach the 10000 foot stage at al- most any time. MT. Redwood stated Wednesday that it was not likely the work at the Colo rado would be in such condition that the water could be turned down the old channel and put un- der control before October 18th.
 They are very much handicap ped for want of men and it is a very large undertaking. At pres ent they only have about 300 meu on the job and at no time have they had all they wanted. It must be remembered that while it is a considerable job to turn that river even at its lowest stage it is a very much bigger one to control it while 1t is at flood tide. It can be turned through the headgates and the channel dam med when it reaches the 10000 foot stage, but that levee across the intake must be made many times larger and longer to hold the river when it goes to 100000 foot stage and flows ten times as much water. There is much to do at the Colorrdo and it behooves the settlers in this Valley to help all they can.
 In a recent issue the Standard expressed the hope that the wat CT supply of the Valley would not be cut off for more than th1r- ty days. We hope whether it is cut off at all the people of the Valley will render all the assist ance they can to the Southern Pacific in putting in the splendid works they have planned for the control of the river and the solu- tion of the water problem.

THE WATER SITUATION

The latest news concerning what by common consent has come to be called the "water sit uation" is substantially as fol- lows: The overpour in New riv- CT has cut back to a point a cou- pie of miles beyond Packard, in Mexico, and is cutting back at the rate of a mile or so per week. 1t has undermined and carried away the Hume that formerly conveyed water across New river and irrigated several thousand acres in Mexico and supplied water to Imperial Water company No. 6. This cuts off water from Number Six and places a big chasm several hundred yards wide and at least 50 feet deep between them and a water supply. This chasm however, still lacks at least twelve miles of reaching back to a junction with Alamo channel. As it is only cutting back about mile a week 1t will take at least three months for this to be accomplished. Should such a thing occur it would di- vert the water from following the Alamo channel to Sharp's head ing and carry it away to the Salton sea in a deep channel. But there is another condition, however, that is receiving more attention than the cutting back that is going on in New river. And that is the erosion of a shall low channel across from New river to Alamo. This channel was first discovered by Messrs. Forester, Van Horn and Aten and has been the subject of sever- al examinations since. When first discovered it had more than five miles to cut out before reach ing the Alamo. Latest reports, however, are to the effect that it had cut about mile and a half during the week before and only had three miles or such matter yet to cut out before reaching Alamo and diverting most if not all the water from Sharp's head ing. It IS also reported that much of this three miles is known to be hard clay formation that will wash quite slowly and thus delay the work of channel mak- ing. One of the best posted men on this situation is Superintend- ent Farnsworth of Imperial Wat CT company No. 1 and he is in- clined to the opinion that the cri- sis will be reached and the Val ley's water supply interrupted about thirty days hence.
 The situation is being carefully looked into by the California De- Velopment company, with a view to determing what can be done to prevent the water supply from being cut off. MT. Cory took the matter up and sent MT. Beach to the scene of the trouble. MT. Beach and MT. Meadows have made careful examination and reported to their superiOrs. MT.

The extension of the Aneta
branch of the Great Northern is
now an assured fact and reliable
reports state that work has al
ready commenced on the line at
Devils Lake, where contractors
are at work putting in the piers
and piling for the big bridge
across the narrows. The bridge
is to be finished before the ice
goes out in the spring. Work is
to be pushed to the utmost and
the cut off, as this line is termed,
is to be ready for business before
the fall rush begins. Fast trains
from the coast are to run over
this line as the distance will be
sixty-fve miles shorter than over
the old route which is no small
item. What the improvement
will bring us locally remains to
be seen. We hope however that
the service will be far superior
to that of the present time especi
ally in regard to the mails, which
will no doubt be the case.

PHENOMENA OF DREAMLAND
Scientists Explanation of the Visions
IF ctaep sN @

Scientists Explanation of the Visions
of Sleep.
A scientist explains some of the
strange phenomena of dreams by say
ing that they are due to what he calls
hereditary memory He takes the
falling through space dream and
points out that after suffering the
mental agony OF falling the sleeper
escapes the shock of the actual stop
ping. The explanation is that the fall
ing sensations have been transmitted
from remote ancestors who were for
tunate enough to save themselves,
after falling from great heights in
tree tops, by %clutching the branches.
The molecular changes in the ceres
bral cells due to the shock of stop
ping could not be transmitted, be-
cause victims falling to the bottom
would be killed. In a similar manner,
by reverting to the habits Of animals
which existed centuries ago, the
same investigator finds an explanation
for the mental state experienced by
individuals in various dreams-the
pursuing monster" dream, the "rep-
tile and vermin" dream, color dreams,
suffocation dreams, flying dreams and
the like.

together and bound with heauti-
full shells. Two axes and a pocket
knife were at first offered for the
treasure, but the Papuan owner shook
his head. A strip of calico was added,
with the like result; but the owners
eyes glistened at the sight of a string
Of beads and a plug of tobacco and

WELL NAMED cANNlBAL PLAN
NIcarasuan Vegetable That Preys on
LIVING Objects.


On the shores OF Lake Nicaragua is
to be found an uncanny product of
the vegetable kingdom known among
the natives by the expressive name OF
"the DEVILS moose" How delighted
Poe would have been to make this
cannibal plant the subject of n Of
his weird stories!
Dunstan, the naturalist, discovered
1t not long ago while wandering on the
shores of the lake. Attracted by
cries of pain and terror from his dog,
he found the animal held by black,
sticky bands, which had chafed the
skin to the bleeding point. These
bands were branches of a newly dis
covered c%arnivorous plant which has
been aptly named "the land octopus"
The branches are flexible, black,
polished, without leaves, and secrete a
viscid fluid. They are also furnished
with a great number of suckers, with
which they attach themselves to their
victims. 1t certainly deserves to be
classed as the octopus of the vegetable
world.-New York Herald.

Vitality of the Ant.

Ants have a wonderful power of ex-
listing long periods after losing i'm
portant parts of their bodies which
are not reproduced. They have been
known to live two weeks without the
abdomen, which is SO bulky in proper
ton to the rest CT the insect. Under
the most favorable circumstances an
ant may live more than a month after
its head had been cut off. One case
is recorded in which the rest of the
ant moved about f%orty-one days after
decapitation. Ants also revive after
being submerged in water for many
days, although they seem to be dead
a few minutes after they are i'm
mersed.

One of the most attractive
features of the modern city is
the public park, and as a rule
every town has something of the
kind to boast of. In this line
Hope is sadly deficient and altho
the matter has often been dis
cussed nothing definite has been
done and it is very probable that
another year will go by without
a move in that direction unless
steps are taken very soon. We
would suggest that the Conner
cial Club take up the matter and
perhaps in that manner enough
interest will be aroused to start
the ball rolling. Hope should
have a park by all means. Let
US get busy while a suitable
location is yet available.

What Man Does MOT Want.

Woman has cause to be grateful for
the publication of a volume dealing
with feminine logic, for it forms, per-
haps, the first tangible recognition
that such a quality exists in the mind
of the sex. But she is not thereby to
be fattered into the belief that it will
raise her intellectual status in mascu-
line estimation. Man does not want
the logical woman; as a logician he is
too often conscious that she is the only
safe receptacle of his wisdom, and
when he informs her that his argu-
ments are Sound logic" he expects,
and always will expect, her to believe
him.-Lady's Pictorial.
