DAM AT HEADING
 MENACED AGAIN
Yuma Project Engineers Pro- cure Orders That May Cut
 Off Valley Water Supply.

Engineers of the Reclamation Ser vice at Yuma have induced the Army engineers to interfere with the work of maintaining the water supply of Imperial Valley, misrepresenting the temporary weir dam at the intake as a permanent structure that menaces their imaginary irrigation system in the lower Yuma Valley, where the only water available to the few re- maining settlers is that which gets to their land through old breaks in the utterlytneglected government levee.
 It is necessary to keep the surface level of the river high enough to in sure a flow through the intake by dumping rock from the trestle, but the Army engineers, misled by the R. s. obstructionists, have notified Receiver Holabird that he must not dump any more rock, that he must use brush facines, which are the "sa- cred cows" of the R. S., and that he must keep dynamite on hand and be ready to blow out the weir at the first intimation of rise in the river.
 Col. Holabird has replied that he will not take the responsibility of re- moving the weir without giving notice to the water r-users of Imperial Valley; that if the weir should be removed because of a moderate rise in the river, it would have to be replaced a few days later and he has no money to pay for rebuilding it; that even if the river should break through the lower Yuma levee, the water would invade an abandoned region and do no damage, whereas the needless de- struction of the weir would cause destruction of crops and enormous damage to 19,OOO settlers in Imperial Valley.
 If the Army engineers. at the in stance of the Reclamation Service. and under the pretence that the Colo rado is a navigable river, which fiction is their only warrant for interfering at all persist in their attitude, ignor- ing Col. ockerson's assurance that the weir does not menace the Yuma Project, Col Holabird's only recourse will be an appeal from the bureau cratic decision directly to the Presi- dent. The efficiency of the weir dam probably will be maintained. in spite of the efforts of the Reclamation Ser vice to put the Imperial system out of business, until the War Depart ment exercises arbitrary power to stop the work.

the channel, as the dredge has not yet cleared away the bar between the gate and the channel. The weir dam alone, the construction of which was resisted by the Reclamation Service, has saved the valley by raising the level of the river bed and making possible flow of water through the intake. A full supply of water is being delivered at Sharp's heading to the distributing system, and the irrigators are receiving all the water the ditches can carry.
 The present situation is satisfac- tory, but the condition of the Alamo channel which serves as canal from the main heading to Sharps, presents possibilities of future difficulty in maintaining sufficient supply. Much silt has been deposited in the Alamo during the low water period, and the water spreads out over wide flats in- stead of running in defined channel In some places the water is so shall low that a skiff cannot be foated.
 During the first six months of the receivership, dredges were operated in the Alamo to keep the channel open, and nearly $79,OO0 was expended upon that work, but because of lack of funds the dredging work has been

HIGHER WATER RENTALS.
Receiver HoIabird Tells Why It Is Necessary to Raise the Fifty
 cent Rate.

Receiver Holabird, accompanied by Engineers Clarke and Allison, made an inspection of the system this week to check up the reports of the engi- neers and the estimates on the work required to maintain the efficiency of the canals and insure an adequate supply of water in the immediate
 future. In an interview, just before his return to Los Angeles on Thurs day, Col. Holabird said; +The engi- (neers have submitted to me several N Detailed estimates, one on the work Hhatj should be done to put the whole system in good shape, one on the work that must be done within year to maintain proper service, and one on the work absolutely necessary be- fore the first of January to insure de-
 livery of water for the crops that will be put in this winter. The first estl-

Mutual Water Companies 6 and 8 having refused to pay for water de- livered between Dec. IS, 1909, and Aug. 9l, 1910, Receiver. w. H. Hola- Abird has filed suit against No. in the Court of Imperial County to recover $9,7S6 and will begin suit against No. to recover about $10,000 alleged to be due. Funds of No. in the Calexico banks were attached by the Sheriff last Wednesday.
 Imperial Water Company No. paid in advance for September deliveries.
 The mutual companies and based their refusal to pay upon agreements made with the c. D. Co.,, before the date of the receivership, under which their water rentals were to be applied to work on their delivery canals. Also they set up certain agreements relat- ing to sale of their water stock.
 The Receiver asserts that it is not lawful for him to recognize such agreements and that it is his duty to abrogate any contract that is unprofit- able to the interest placed in his hands by the court. No water stock of any mutual company came into the hands of the Receiver among the as sets of the c. D. Go. It had all been disposed of. before he was appointed.
 The situation is made clear in the following letter: s.s Imperial Water Company, No. 8, aBrawley California.
 Gentlemen:
 Your Secretary, MT. Rheiner, called upon me today, and stated he had no authority to speak officially but that he understood the Board of Directors of your company had declined to pay the balance due for water delivered up to July 1st for which bill has been rendered.
 I immediately forwarded to you a telegram reading as follows:
 Understanding you decline to pay bills for water delivered, this Is to advise you that beginning Thursday, S0DI0mU6I 0lSuJu, nO WdIOl VIII bO delivered to your company except for cash in advance Will be in my office in Calexico Wednesday afternoon and Thursday"
 It appears very strange to me that you cannot segregate Receiver, an officer of the Court, from bankrupt corporation with whom you have had unfortunate dealings. I have no au- thority and cannot without decree in open Court, make any allowances to any Water Companies for anything.
 Your action in declining to pay the Receiver the money due for delivery of water imposes a great hardship xupon other Water Companies who have promptly paid their bills. You certainly cannot expect the Receiver to keep the canals in a condition to deliver water unless the money is paid for the delivery of water and paid promptly,
 Yours truly,
 W. H. HOLABIRD, Sept. 6. 1910. Receiver.

TO MAINTAIN SYSTEM
Demands For Funds in Excess of
 Recent Revenues.


 On Saturday, Sept. 8, the date of the latest official report received from Yuma, the flow of water in the Colorado was only $500 second feet; an unusually small discharge even at this season. Had the Receiver failed or neglected to construct the weir dam at the heading, not a drop of water would be coming through the headgate at this time and the valley would be bone dry Dredging the i'm take with the inadequate machine in use, the only one that could be ob- taiped on the coast to meet the emer- gency would not have suficed to meet the condition of low water, in

RECEIVER SUES FOR RENTALS
MUST HAVE MONEY ID MAINTAIN SYSTEM AND RATE ID THE
 MUTUALS WILL BE INCREASED

mate covers cost of new gates, drops, levees, reconstruction of the weir dam next year, replacement of temporary structures with concrete and general betterment of the system, and amounts to something more than $440,000. The second covers the removal and building of new structures and amounts to $300,000. The third cov- CTS what must be expended between now and the first of January in ad- dition to the ordinary expense of maintenance and operation, and amounts to $112,000. The Receiver must have all told, up to the first of January, about $147,000.
 Now the estimated revenues from water rentals at the present rate, pre- suming> that all the companies pay their bills, amount only to about $8S, 000 and there is no other source of revenue. It is the plain duty of a receiver to maintain the efficiency of get the water they must have, and he must make the property in his hands self-supporting. The water rate of fifty cents an acre foot does not yield a revenue sufficient to meet the ex- penses, and Shere is no alternative to increasing the rate When I shall have ascertained by careful exami- nation of all the estimates and other data just how much of a raise in rates is absolutely necessary, I shall inform all the companies of my conclusion and ask them to pay the new rate in advance.
 "The people, l hope, will be the ultimate owners of the system and it is to their interest to know what work is required to keep the system in good condition and to cooperate with the receiver in getting the work done. If the mutual companies meet their water bills promptly, shall be very glad to take into consultation on the questions of necessity and cost of work competent engineer selected by and representing them.
 "The refusal of two of the con- panies to pay for water delivered seems to be due to their misunder- standing of the legal status of a re- ceiver and the extent of his powers. They confuse the receiver with the c. D. Go. and do not seem to under stand that the company is bankrupt concern in the hands of the court The receiver, as an officer of the court can only deliver water and collect rentals. He has no power to adjudi cate between the c. D. Go. and the mutual companies, and he cannot remedy any wrongs committed by the c. D. Go. in it's dealings with the mu- tuals. He is not and cannot be a party to contracts and verbal agree ments between the companies. The directors of number eight should know that the Receiver is not the California Development Company"

Alamo channel, $6OO,OOO earthwork on East Side high line and new cen- tral canal, $228,912; total, not includ- ing structures or new West Side high line, $1,591 ,171. Same conditions at Laguna dam and at foot of works as in method number one.
 Method Number Three.
 Estimate made by c. R. Redwood in 1892 for a canal of smaller capacity than would be required now, and with temporary wood structures, was $1,1S0,000 up to the boundary. Esti- mate for canal of larger capacity, meeting present conditions, $2,OOO, ,OOO. MT. Scobey says
 This canal re-enters the United States on the top of the mesa sur rounding the ancient sea-beach in stead of at the foot of the mesa, as in the case of the east side high line, which was covered in the last method. This would give the canal a greater range of potential service in the di- rection of Indio than would the high line canal.
 If it is finally decided that the Laguna dam is the only sure source of a permanent supply in all stages of the Colorado river, then reloca- tion of this line to conform to con- trolling points, such as the crest of the Laguna dam, with a view to velocity of about three feet per sec ond for flow of 2,OOO feet and a controlled velocity for maximum flow of 5000 feet, would be the best procedure in order to provide for the final reclamation of the greatest pos sible area in the valley and extending to the Coachella Valley"

Method Number Four.

Estimate for a canal from the present heading, $1,25O,OOO Involves problem of keeping the intake chan nel free from silt and drift Openings in the gate were constructed originally five feet below the bottom of the river at low water, but this year the bot tom of the openings was on level With the bottom of the river at a very low stage. MT. Scobey says he be- lleyes the general level of the river will be restored when the Colorado is put back into it's old channel, and that the troubles of this year in get ting water will not recur if the in take is kept free of silt and bars are not allowed to form below the gates.
Imperial Valley press., 1910-09-10
Method Number Five.

The Rockwood survey for a canal from the present heading to the valley but with new intake channel coming from the Colorado river at a point about 1000 feet from the present gate and leaving the river at a point where the tendency of the river is to main- tain channel directly in front of the proposed new gate, although a rock and pile jetty may be necessary from the Arizona shore to be certain of the control of the current.
 Tn the summer of 1910 the c. D. Co., made a preliminary survey and estimate for a new intake channel to che present heading, which channel could be Gsed in connection with the Redwood, Survey or modification thereof.
 There is some very heavy earth work on this new intake and the esti- mated cost is about $l5O,OOO with an additional $SO,OOO for a new concrete headgate near the river.
 There might also be added the cost of rock and pile jetty from the Arizona shore. This has not been estimated, but would amount to $2O.- 900 or $SO,OOO in my opinion.
 This system would give water to the canals of the valley at all stages of the river, when 1t has been restored

consisted Of only the hVe-ceut stamp

THE present issue of stamps OF our

stimulated Old and young to secure sets

greatly increased the number of collect

of becoming the basis of new collec-
