 slneer l.. C. Hill of the reclamation

 southern California and at Yuma. It
 VIII be remembered that he left here with Engineers Davis. Bien and San
 ders, for Yuma They were joined
 there by C. F.. Grunsky, a consulting engineer of the service After care
 iulIy looking over the progress of op- eiaJlons at the Laguna dam the party
 went down the Colorado to the head of the Imperial canal in Mexico and viewed the work being done there tln- der the direction of Colonel Randolph
 In an effort to turn the river back from
 the Imperial country into it's former bed. Mr. Hill did not care to express
 any comments on the situation other
 man to say that the men in charge
 seem To be doing all that it is possible
 to do and are making good progress. | though it is an enormous undertaking and success will depend very much on
 later weather conditions during the ! carrying out of the plan. From there ! the party went to the Imperial section. and west of there to where the river In its mad rush toward the Salton sea has cut oHt canyon so feet deep and from 1900 to 1900 feet wide The i'm l itation of Niagara Falls which the riv- CT has been presenting to a displeased public for some months past is a fairly good one. The retreating of these falls back up the river is the process by which this huge canyon has been cut and the falls OF rapids are now as far back as CaleXico. From Imperial the engineers went to Los Angeles. where
 they were in conference for a week with the engineers of J. c. White & Co. Later they held couple of board meetings for the approval of the plans made for the diversion dam near the Arizona canal head. These were adopted with slight changes and work
 will proceed as fast as possible in con structiug the dam. Nr Hill expects
 to leave today for Roosevelt.
