MOVE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
Colorado River Is Again Flowing Into
Salton Sink Causing Great
Deal of Damage.
Publishers Press. ]

Yuma. A. T., Dec. 10.-Once more
the entire Colorado river is flowing
into the Salton sink. and Imperial and
Conchella valleys are again menaced
by rising waters. The main line of
the Southern Pacific must again be
moved to higher ground, unless the
water can be brought under control.
In the Salton basin 900 people must
lose their homes, including 100000
acres of farming lands, the Southern
Pacific must build 200 miles of new
main line. and irrigation about Yuma
must be abandoned. The government
Laguna dam irrigation project may
become an impossibility. At a con-
sentative estimate, more than $25 ,000.-
600 of present values are at stake in
the success of efforts to close the
break.
