FIGHTING
IiUSRING
WATERS

The Denver & Rio Grande Railroad
company has had a gang Of men en-
ployed for couple OF days fighting
the encroachment OF the river en- lis
roadbed in the vicinity Of the Burnito
cattle pens, a quarter OF a mile west
of Soda point, and it has had hard
work to prevent the water from eating
out the track and causing tempor-
airy suspension of travel over that por
tion OF the road. The current OF tie
river sets in very strongly towards
the bank OF the stream at that point
and for several days has been cut
ting away the railroad grade at IN
alarming rate; threatening TO force
itself through the grade and sweep
away a part OF William Kenley's gar
dens.
The main track of the road was
washed out for a short distance on
Friday and all trains bad to use the
switch in getting around the trouble.
a train load of Stag from the Pueblo
smelter was yesterday dumped into
the river where the grade was weak
ened by the current and today all o.
the available men in the service OF the
company are rip-rapping the bank -
still further strengthen ii against tho
food waters which menace its stabil-
ity Had there been a heavy rainfall
In the Grape creek watershed Friday
night it is probable that the river
would have raised to such a point as
to have caused 1t to take out consId-
cradle of the Denver & Rio Gran1c
trackasv. and. perhaps, a material
slice OF Kenley's ranch. The energy
with which the railroad company has
taken the matter in hand will, in all
probability. prevent any very serious
damage being done.
The levees protecting the property
of the Arkansas Valley Railway.
Light and Power company's plant Is
also imperilled by the food and II has
bunch of men actively engaged to-
day in building up and rip-rapping
with stone from the penitentlary its
weakened grades. The danger was SO
threatening Friday night that Manag-
er Clark asked for assistance from
the city and Mayor Smith ordered the
street department gang to report TO
Mr.. Clark for duty this morning. The
river Is carrying a flow OF approx
mately $500 cubic feet Of water per
second today and in the lower po--
ton Of the valley is overhowing the
low lands adjacent to its course.
While the present floods are not
likely to result in any very great dam
age the reports from the mountain
districts Indicated that the river Ia
likely to get considerably higher With
in the next two or three weeks and
property owners along its course are
preparing for possibilities. The warm
rains and rapidly melting snow on
the sanrra de Christie mountains are
sure % cause foods Of more or less
magnitude. and. while the big irriga-
ton companies will take up a lot Of
the surr'u9 water. there Is some dan
ger that the river may not be able
TO carry away the remainder without
breaking out OF It's banks in places.
A break often results in the river
establishing for itself a new channel.
and. in this way. the water sometimes
attacks approaches to bridges and cuts
around them. leaving the bridges eith-
er on one side or the other Of the cur
rent. forcing the removal Of the struc-
ture. or the construction Of costly ax-
tensions.

TO SEND TEAM EAST

[BY UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATIONS
BERKELEY. April 27,-Students
and alumni of the University of Cali
fornia are working today to raise
funds to send the wonderful California
track team East to participate in the
American college championships
which will be held in Philadelphia in
May. The overwhelming victory Of
California over Stanford April 20 has
served to show the sporting enthusi
aStS of the bay section that the State
University has one of the most phe
nOmenal track aggregations in the his
tory of American intercollegiate ath-
letics. They argue from records made
in this meet and the best records made
during the last three years at Yale
Harvard and the other great eastern
universities that California would
sweep the eastern tracks. 1t is de-
clared on good authority that in Bee
son and Maclise, hurdlers; Allen
broad jumper; Shattuck, hammer
thrower, and Rice and Hale, shot put
ters, California has men that could
not be beaten by single performer
in any American college. Vail, pole
vaulter; Stanton. sprinter, and Todd,
quarter miller, also are performers who
might upset the easterners. Three
thousand dollars is needed for the trip,
and the students are confident the
money will be raised.
