 DEATH OF A WAITER-Bert Ing man, a waiter at Gass Bros. chop house, died at the Sisters hospital last night of pneumonia. after a brief ill.,
 ness. He was employed at the chop house last summer but left for Roose-
 welt, where he remained until feU
 days ago. when he returned and re-
 stunned work. Last Friday he was
 compelled to see a physician, who told
 him of his dangerous condition. He
 grew worse until late yesterday after
 noon it was decided to remove him to
 the hospital He died within a few
 minutes after his arrival there.
 THE IMPERIAL lNTAKE-Word
 was received here last night by pri
 vate parties, by wire, to the effect
 that conditions at the Imperial intake
 were better than for several days past
 that about 5000 second feet of water
 is now passing through the Rockwood
 gate and that the situation is encour-
 aging It is explained that 5000 second
 feet means the greater part of the
 flow of the river. though the river has
 recently had an increased volume that
 threatened to take out the RockwOOd
 dam. There is jess leakage now than
 three or four days ago and it is believ- ed the situation is under control The Redwood gate is the new structure ? to be used temporarily, and through
 which the water is being diverted aS { the dam is raised across the channel
 the river has been using for months
 past. The recent rise in the river
 though. threatened to wash around the
 end of it. but the ends were strength
 ened and the latest advices are that i it is expected they will hold When
 the dam across the present channel is
 finished the long dyke from the large and newly built Imperial heading some miles above. down to the Redwood tgate parallel with the river will be ; raised a sufficient height and the r Redwood gate closed down so the l water not diverted at the big Imperial ] head will be forced to pass on down . the old channel of the Colorado. The e IsituatiOn that was so threatening fcu- , or five days ago is thus described by . the Imperial Standard: A tremen-
 dous strain has been put on the Rock
 wood gate by the great rush of water
 through it. At 2:3O yesterday the
 gate was still in place and carrying s Il, 900 second feet of water. and it was f hoped that the structure would con-
 tinue to hold until the water subsides.
 That the gate is in danger there can g be no doubt, but the degree of th- e danger is unknown. Should this gate - go out it would delay the turning ol n the river about a month. With the y subsistence of the river. work will al
 once be begun laying a dam similar to = the Hind dam, and by the means oI n these two dams the water would be
 raised until it would run down its old $ channel. The fact that there is or g the ground an immense equipment fol 't this work would make this task a shor s one"
