BIDS ASKED FOR THE CANAL Al

is responsible for the creation OF
the Salton sea in Southern Cali
fornia, which already covers an
area OF 400 square miles and
threatens to spread over 1000
square miles if some means of
dlverting the Colorado river
cannot be devised?
This question is perplexing
Mexican and American diplo-
mates, but for the time being
diplomatic representations have
been suspended and both the
United States and Mexico are
bending every effort to check
the river which has been acci-
dentally turned from it. course
through the efforts of the Cana
dian Development Company to
irrigate lands in northern Mex
leo and southern California.
Interesting complications of
an international nature are
threatened when the two gov
ernments attempt to settle their
differences. The California De-
velopment Company originally
tapped the river below Yuma,
Arlz., and carried water from
Arizona through canal into
northern Mexico and back into
great valley in southern Cali
fornia. In 1904 it was found
that this canal was inadequate
to supply water required for the
irrigation project and Mexican
corporation, controlled by the
California Development Com
pany, was authorized by Mexi-
co to take water from the Colo
RADIO in Mexico a short distance
south of Yuma.
The irrigation canal was only
one fourth of a mile from a river
at the point in Mexico where a
ditch was cut through the sandy |
bank of the river connecting
with the great irrigation canal.
No gates we're provided and
with the high water of 1905 the
Colorado river was diverted
from its channel, cut away its
bank and went raging into the
low lands in California far below
sea level.
Several small towns are now
beneath the waters which the
Colorado has poured into the
basin, and in many places only
the tops of the railway telegraph
poles indicate where the road
bed formerly was. In the low
est part OF the sink the water is
now 70 feet deep. Failure to
control the river would give this

George Washington about which Amer

three times to relieve n sore throat,
and he was dOsed with calomel enough
to deprive a healthy man Of his life.
But what Is the mystery?

poisoned with calomel. Tobias Lear,
his secretary. says that "fter the doe

After the third bleeding-in which we

Wood Y.

A considerable industry has recently
been developed in Sweden on the basis
of an invention made by Joseph Phis-
ter, an Austrian, whereby coloring
matter IS forced into fresh cut wood.
1t takes the place Of the sap and gives
to the wood q brilliant color, which
does not fade after the wood has be-
come seasoned. Birch, beech, alder,
maple, elm and Eastwood are the varl-
etles most successfully treated. The
dye can be forced through lengths of
wood rs great as thirteen feet. When
seasoned and polished the colored wood
presents a beautiful appearance and is
used for making furniture and also for
the fittings of ships and street cars.
