dependent on him for support? What
about the increasing crimes that are
due TO the curse of drink? What about
the souls of many VINO have gone down
to perditiOn-whO fill the graves
of drunkards? What about the
prison cells of the Georgia peniten-
tiary, filled with criminals caused by
the curse of drink? What about the
blood of many good men slain by
the worm of the still? But then,
though it pays the taxes, what poor
argument its advocates have. What
about the many good wives and innO-
cent children who have suffered from
hunger and cold, who have been tor

reprObate of a husband and father?
What about the indiscriminate cure
ing and swearing on the public high
ways, caused by drink? If it Is wrong

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned.

The average man does not save to exceed
ten per cent. of his earnings. He m%ustspend
nine dollars in living expenses for every
dollar saved. That being the case he can
not be too careful about unnecessary ex-
penses. Very often a few cents properly in
vested, hke'buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on. 1t is
the same in buying Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. 1t costs
but a few cents, and a bottle oft in the house
often saves a doctors bill of several dollars.

Looking Into Water Conditions

On July 5th Mess. Gleason, Van Horn and Farnsworth, of Water com pany No. went to Yuma and to the Imperial intake to examine conditions there. They returned last Saturday and reported the river as being 27O0 feet wide ard from to l2 feet deep at the point where the dam must be built. They decided not to come down the channel to Sharp's heading as they first intended to do, but to return to the Valley and examine that part of the problem from this end of the line. So last Wednesday Mir. Farnsworth, of No. l; MT. Wade, of No. 5; MT. Per ry of the C. D. Go. and Mir. Branden- burg. of the California Mexico Land & Cattle Co.,. went up above Sharp's heading to make the investigation. They took two boats with them and in tend to explore the overflowed country in Mexico and determine what if any likelihood there is of the channel cut ting back from New river to the Alamo through Beltran slough and thus di- verting the water away from Sharp's heading. They expect to return next Sunday and their report Is awaited with interest.

Work on the Intake Dam

Last Monday the side track for the spur line to the Imperial heading was laid and the contracting firm of Shat tuck and Desmond arrived there with 25O men and 200 teams to begin the work of grading the line to the heading This side track is about two miles east of Pilot Knob Station and the spur line will be about nine miles long when completed It is hoped to have it done in about three weeks. Meantime the camp at the heading and quarries al Pilot Knob can be gotten ready and all preparations made for dumping rocks into the channel and damming it up
 The Colorado river is still flowing about 10000 cubic feet per second which is quite a river in itself. It is still 27OO feet wide and from to l2 feet deep at the point where the dam is to be built. The bottom of the riv- CT is some feet below the floor of the headgate Mir Redwood put in there last spring The river is also flowing more than twice as much water as could be turned through this headgate. he river will no doubt decline unless temporarily held up by rains in Arizona and by August lst should be down to 10000 second feet. It will then be low enough to work at to advantage and the preparations for attacking it will be complete. August and Sep tember should see great work done on this undertaking and if they are able to get all the labor they want and go alter 1t as they can the water should begin to flow down the old channel by October. It's big job and will be a very expensive one but it's the only re- course left the Southern Pacific where by they can keep their rails dry in the Salton Sink. They could have done this work for very much less money last year and saved Imperial Valley a year of uncertainty and themselves lots of trouble. But we don't any of us al- ways do as we should when we should and railroad companies are no excep- ton to the rule. However, the devel- opment of this Valley has gone on de- spite all sorts of unfavorable conditions and just as soon as that work is done and the river controlled we will boom as no place in the west has ever boomed This is the finest agricultural country in the world and the next few years vii see its population and wealth increased many fold.

TWO GOOD men ;
TO Do INSPECTING
From Thursday,s Adyertlser..>


Editor Advertiser: In this morn
ing's isspe you say "Govcrnor Carter
desires expressions of public opinion or
the question as to whether Mr.. Kel-
logg IS report on the Nuuanu dam would
be generally accepted" by the public
as conclusive.
i would like to suggest that it would
help the public confidence in the report
if two island men like Mr.. II. =. Bald
win and Mr.. G. n. Wilcox, both of
whom have had long experience in
constructing reservoirs on these islands,
were asked to join in the inspection and
the report.
Several years ago the Haiku dam,
the then largest dam and reservoir on
the islands, gave way, causing much
damage in the valley below. 1t was
well built dam aud thought to DC
amply strong enough to stand.
If my memory serves me rightly, the
cause of its giving way was thought
at the time to be small spring OF
springs of water under it's foundation,
which gradually softened the super
structure.
II was subsequently rebuilt on the
same site but much broader and strong.
er and with better drainage pipe to
carry off the spring water from under
meath, and is standing to this day.
Would il not be of interest at this
time TO obtain n statement from Mr..
Baldwin of the dimensions of the orig.
inal dam, the height of water it WAS
intended to withstand, and of the
causes which in his opinion led to its
giving way. II ! am not mistaken the
conditions were very similar to those
at the Nuuanu dam site.
Al any rate | would offer the sug-
gestion that the two above named gem
tlemen be asked to cooperate with Mr..
Kellogg In making the investigation.
II would do no harm and might help
public confidence very much.
