mouth of the new channel fifteen or twenty miles further up toward the head of the gulf and a new island formed north of Montague island. San ta Clara slough Is only tidal slough about three miles long, and by no possibility could the Colorado con- meet with it. The government charts are a bad guess.
 The Colorado's entire discharge un- doubtedly is now through the "boca' discovered by the Meadows party last year, and it will work great changes in the topography at the head of the gulf The route is shorter than the old channel, and in the process of adjusting the new bed to it's regular gradient the river may do some more unpredictable stunts.
 This years unpreceoented flood has demonstrated finally the permanence and adequacy of the uams and levees built by the Southern Pacific to pro- tect Imperial Valley. The c. D. en- gineers say that the situation at the levee during the worst of the flood was not even interesting. There was not the slightest sign of a leak any where. The Hind and Clarke dams, which closed the great breaks, con- stitute the solidest part of the bank of the river anywhere from Laguna Dam to the gulf. The dams are absolute ly secure. Across the river the leyees of the Reclamation Service failed to keep out the flood and many sections were washed out completely.

HOMESTEADER PROTECTED
Attempt to Take Land Under False Relinquishment Rolled by Com
 missioner,

A decision of the commissioner of the general land office reinstating the homestead entry of w. l.. Halls, in- dicates that relinquishment taken for the purpose of security, without a full understanding on the part of the entryman, is of no avail.
 W. l.. Halls of Brawley made ap- plication for homestead entry in the Imperial valley April F, 1903 The entry was cancelled on a relinquish- ment filed Dec 12, 1904, before P. H. McPherrin of Los Angeles, and purporting to bear the signature of Halls.
 This relinquishment, although ex- ecuted at an earlier date, was not filed until Clarence Brown made a desert entry on the land filed on by Halls.
 Halls made affidavit that he never executed any such relinquishment,a and if same was in existence it was false or obtained through fraud.
 A special agent of the land office who visited the land on March 20, 1909, recommended the entry of Halls for reinstatement. The agent reported that he believed Halls signed the re- linquishment unknowingly at the time he made the entry through the Oakley Paulin Company.

A VALUABLE BUSINESS ASSET
The Reputation For Square Dealing By D. c. Collier & Company Main
 tained Under All Conditions

Any one who has ever met and known D. c. Collier & Co.,, dealers in real estate, San Diego California, will not need to be told that his person ality is one of the clements that has been an important factor in the suc- cess of the business he founded. MT. Collier is one of those men who in spires confidence and the reputation he has earned for absolute square dealing is one of the most valuable assets of the business of D. c. Col Her & Co. He puts his principle into his business policies, believing that it is right to do so, but in the long run it pays as well.
 This has been partly demonstrated in the success of the various sub-di- visions of beach property on Point Loma that this firm has recently made and put on the market. Investors have learned that not only are the lands offered by D. c. Collier & Go. of the highest order as regards loca- ton and Improvements, but that all representations made by this con- pany will be absolutely fulfilled to the letter.
 This firm have a representative here now, MT. A. E.

Lamp Thrown in Shack Near BrawIey Causes Death
 of Two Men
Peace Officer of the Town Accused of Conducting Blind Pig-Partici- pants In Drunken Orgy Escape to MexicaIi, Among Them Man Who Threw the Lamp.

Frank Siebrecht, aged about 22 years, and Ralph Kesse, aged "A years, are dead from the oil burns receiv- ed in a drunken fracas in blind pig at Brawley last Monday night L. S. Reed is badly burned.
 About a score of men gathered at the Mead place, in the southern part of Brawley, early on Monday evening, to drink and gamble. A negress had come up from Mexicali, and was mix ed up in the trouble which arose over Frank Siebrecht losing $30 in poker game. In a rough house which followed and in which the fav- or of this wenchs comapny was one of the issues, a lighted lamp was thrown at Siebrecht, striking him in the face. The oil caught fire and streamed over his body from head to foot. It also fell upon Kesse, who was burned about the head and chest, and Reed was burned on the hands and face and neck.
 Siebrecht was taken to the Grand Central Hotel in Brawley, where he died about Il o'clock on Tuesday fore noon. Kesse was brought to the Gen. tral Hospital, at Ell Centro, and his burns were at first considered only superficial, but he became unconscious and died Tuesday night.
 Immediately after the fracas the negress and three companions secur- ed a team and hastened southward. They changed teams at Imperial and, it is said paid a driver at that town $40 to hustle them down to MeXicali.
 Coroner Mitchell held an inquest at Brawley Wednesday afternoon over turned a verdict that the man came to his death through burns inflicted by a lamp thrown by a man known as 'Blackie" Atkins, an employe of the blind pig The jury also recom- mended the arrest and prosecution of the entire gang participating in the affair.
 On Wednesday evening five men were brought to Fl Centro and placed under detention until further investi- gation of the Brawley trouble is made. They are A. J. Hansen, who was dep uty city marshal of Brawley, but who, 1t appears, was helping to manage the blind pig" J. A. Shaw, C. k. Drury, A. Dinges and R. Mckay.
 Officers from the Sheriff's office have been at Mexicali. trying to locate oth- CTS of this gang, but it is believed they have escaped through the noun tains to the region of San Diego, and thence to Lower California The Sher- if, offers reward of $1OO for the ar rest of Atkins
 When Hansen was arrested his resi- dence was seached and six and half barrels of beer was confiscated.

 Sonora. From point estimated by COW punchers, who have been over the ground recently, at fifteen miles north of the Lerdo Colony, the river has taken a new course little east of south and is entering the gulf just above the head of Montague island From the point of departure to the mouth of the Hardy the old river bed is dry w. K. Bowker went down the Hardy in a power launch few days ago and could not go up the Colorado from the mouth of the Hardy be- cause there wasn't water enough to float the boat.
 The new course of the Colorado through the Sonoran region undoubt- edly is the same that was observed a year ago by Arizona Charlie Mead ows and the Editor of the Press. About a third of the volume of the river was diverted into the new channel at that time. Government charts showed the new channel as Santa Clara slough" and indicated the mouth at a point on the gulf shore nearly due east of the south end of Montague island. But the Meadows party found the true
