SALTON. Cal, July 9.--Confronted with
a final washout within tho next six weeks
by the rapidly advancing waters Of the
Salton sea, the Southern Pacific company
is now making every effort possible to turn
the Colorado river back into its old chan
mel which leads into the Gulf OF California.
Forty miles Of the companys transconti-
mental line is affected. Large gangs OF
men with teams and graders have been
sent to Pilot Knob, a few miles this side
Of Yuma. and the construction of a nine
mile spur track branching from the main
line at Pilot Knob leading down through
Mexico and ending at the famous intake
has been commenced. This track will he
used for the transportation OF material re-
quired to dam the flood at the intake.
The work Of checking the flow at the in
take where the Colorado river is rushing
from its old channel into the Salton sink
has been handicapped by its isolation from
the railroad. Machinery and material
needed to construct the dam and head
gates had to be hauled nine miles by wagon
or foated down the Colorado from Yuma.
II is proposed 10 run trainloads of rock
from the duarries near Pilot Knob and
dump them into the intake, thus con-
structing the dam, which Is intended to
check the flow Of the river In its rush into
the Salton sea and to turn II back into
the gulf. The opening to be closed Is
over 400 feet wide and a dam Of a mile
in length will be necessary. with these
transportation facilities those in charge of
the work feel confident that they will be
able to avoid another move OF the South
ern Pacific's tracks. Their time Is short.
however, I'm which to accomplish this feat.
IMPERIAL, Cal, July 9.-The waters of
the Colorado river at Yuma have fallen 10
twenty-five feet. reducing the discharge
about 60 per cent. About ten days ago
the new river had ceased cutting the chan
mel toward the Colorado and has almost
stopped cutting at Cslexico and Mcxicalia.

is practically certain that the river will

PARIS. July s-The supreme court held

that the decision of the Rennes court

of quashing the verdict entirely or order
