GREAT .SALTON SEA SCHEME

row mouth of the canal, from all In
7aders, whether by sea or land =,
Extending over portions Of two
counties, rearly so miles long by 20
wide, Salton sea is rising at the rate
Of two feet every week. No power on
earth has been able as yet to shut
OF the torrent of water which, running
| with the speed Of millrace, is pour
ing OF the great Colorado river water
shed into this rink. The town Of Sal
ton is under. 20 feet Of water; SO are
Durmid and Frinks. Walters is threat
ened, and, north and south, east and
west, the water of this rapidly rising
sea is seeking the old levels OF the
inland ocean. s'l@1E*s tft -
When this tank has been f1lled up
Brawley, Calexico, Imperial Heber,
Silsbee AMI Holtville will be under
water. The fertile Imperial valley
will then have been. wiped from the
map. Over it all will lie a body Of
salt water varying from 300 feet in
depth at the center to sea level at
the edges, and from almost 80 miles
long by IS wide. - - s'.s. !4s
The barrier, which holds this sea
away from the California gulf is COM
posed of nothing but salt and sand,
brought In by the Colorado and backed
up by the waters of the gulf until 1t
has formed a fragile ridge between
Hardy's Colorado, which empties into
the gulf, ana the buried sea.
Here at the head of the gulf will be
established fortifications sufficient to
guard the canal from all intruders, no
natter how great their strength. But
few guns will be needed for this; q
disappearing carriage or so, well pre-
rared for tie work OF protecting the
narrow entrance with one big gun on
each carriage will be amply sufficient,
according to one military officer to
whom the matter has been referred. !.
There ara no mountains, at least
rome OF any consequence, In the way
cs this canal scheme, and the big
ditch, when finished, will be as nearly
level as 1t is possible for canal to
be. In, conjunction with the Panama
canal should the latter ever become
reality, this Salton sea harbor il
pointed to by one OF. the government
engineers rs the finishing touch to the
great scheme Of uniting the. Atlantic
and the Pacific. With the control of
the gulf Of California in its hands, and
this very probably will be an accom-
p1jshed fact in short time.s for there
IS now a committee from the govern
ment of Mexico in Washington looking
up an error in the treaty of Guada-
loupe Hidalgo, which, II rectifled, will
give the United States the greater part
tf Sonora and several other of the
North Mexican states as well as the
control of al of Lower California and
the gulf-with the control Of this gulf
there will be provided for the United
States the grandest harbor, in con-
junction with the great isthmian ca
nal, that has ever been devised by
kuman engineers.

fasteners become loose and neglected
the chair Immediately looses It's
charm, and so it is with everything in
the house.
Pictures have a great deal to do
with the furnishing. Small pictures
look best when grouped and hung fat
against the wall. The old-fashioned
way of stringing pictures from the
middle and hanging them at an angle
has gone out of date. Some one dis
covered a few years ago that pictures
were much improved in general ap.
pearance when those of kind were
grouped together. Pictures cannot be
successfully grouped unless they are
standing upright. We cannot harmon
ize angles, they won't have anything
to do with each other, but we can
take a group of dozen interesting
photographs, put them In narrow dark
colored frames and make group of
them on one side of the room and If
skillfully done the effect will be very
artistic. The expense Of such group
is not necessarily very great and the
satisfaction is consit rable. It is
necessary to use some ingenuity In
fastening the pictures to make them
look right, and for security. The, old
style of suspending pictures by wires
never satisfied anyone. Wire was a
necessity and was used under protest.
It is employed now more than any
other means for hanging pictures. l
have seen large frames of narrow
molding made in which the smaller
picture frames slide. Space could be

frames or extra pieces Of molding fit.

sort Of air Of proprietorship about the
place that somehow makes itself mani
fest. Some of our most successful
business business men have started in
by owning small cheap house. In
some instances additions have been
made later, but very often the little
property is sold or traded for a more
pretentious one in few years time.
Young folks commencing in this way
never forget their early years of mar
rfed life in the little cottage home.
Children are born there and they first
toddle of to school from the little
house, and the children never forget
it. Pleasant home surroundings give
child start in life that is lasting
and valuable.
Such little houses may be made
very attractive by using good judg-
, ment in the furnishings. But few ar
ticles of furniture are absolutely nec-
essary for a small family. It is q
Isgreat mistake to furnish up house
for the reception of company. It is so
much better to buy what you really
need and put some thought and care
in the purchase. One good solid ar

like this occupied by two young per.
sons OF frugal tastes who are suited
to each other and have many things
In common to enjoy together. The
greatest happiness in this life is not
from the front end Of the brown stone
mansion. Mayor Jones, of Toledo,
once said: There Is more enjoyment
in the servants quarters in those big
stone houses than there is in the par
lors and spacious chambers. know

In both ends of them" In his subse-
quent remarks he told what carefree
fun the help had when he was doing
chores for q living and attending
night school. They had the best OF
everything going just the same as the
owner and they had no anxiety. While
Mayor Jones probably was right, in a
way, the fact remains that the desire
to own home is born with every one
and life is never complete until this
desire is satisfied. The trouble with
most of us is we are not satisfied to
commence in q small way. The son

embodied in this elevation and floor
plan. If a young man can possibly

Whitney is man of education who
snent much time over this plan, and,
having made an extensive study OF
hydraulic engineering, has prepared
definite plans OF how the trick can De

misunderstood region.
Startling as the plan is, and radical

stricken valley, engineers are prac-

be accomplished and at small ex-
