THE SALTON SEA AGAIN.

The staying of the flow of the Colo
RADIO river water. which was greeted
few weeks ago. was only a tenn
porary check. The wafer broke
through the aluvial wall at another
point and is again flowing into the
depressed area, Of which a small por.
ton has already become an inland
sea. The president has called for aid.
The Southern Pacific railroad has
spent a million and a quarter on the
attempt 10 master the river, but il
does not appear that there is any
reason TO expect speedy success.
There will be long hard fight before
the homes of the settlers in the I'M
perial valley are made secure.
The international question will pre-
sent no difficulties, as Mexico wishes
to see the waters of the Colorado
again confined to its old channel. At
the same time the fact that the main
break is in Mexico is an additional
rea2 son why the Southern Pacific can
handle the matter better than the
United States government In fact, it

MAY REJECT ALL
PAVING BIDS
Figures Submitted to the
Street and Sewer Board
Regarded as High

It is not improbable that at the meet
ing Of the Street ana Sewer Directors
tomorrow all bids submitted az the la
meeting OF the department for work in
connection with street improvements VII
be rejected as being too high. According
TO the statement OF an official of the de-
pantment this morning the BIDS as sub
mitted for street paving material are
about thirty cents higher per square yard
IN year than they were two years ago.
and to carry out the work as planned
would mean an expenditure Of some sj0.ec0
more than was calculated upon when the
appropriation was made for the work.
So far nothing more than preliminary
work along the line Of street repairs is
contemplated as the directors are de-
termined that no more streets shall be
torn up after once put down for the pur-
pose Of laying gas or water pipes or con-
duits for telephone or telegraph wires.
With this end in view the department
has notified the water and gas companies
that hereafter water and gas mains upon
streets which are on the list Of streets
to be repaired must be conected to the
curb line, as the streets will not be per-
mitted to be torn up to lay connecting
lines.
