The bulwarks of rock and sand
sacks will probably hold the water
until 1t reaches a. . feet in height.
After that sand sacks will no pro-

believe that he can save the build

trinsic value of 100000, and. at this
time, are worth immeasurably more.
Word was received early this
morning that the bridge across the
North Fork between Delta and
Hotchkiss had washed out and that
the Rio Grande pile driver and re-
pair gang had been sent from this
city with other equipment from Gun
nison which will be transferred TO

In Delta the water is at the high

river banks several houses are be-
ing vacated while the occupants are
moving TO higher points in the city.
Considerable property damage is
feared all along the Gunnison and
Grand.
A huge water wheel, said to be
from the Lamb place. was torn loose
this afternoon and floated past the
pumphouse about 1880 this after
noon. 1t is feared that several
headgates and water wheels will be
damaged all along the river.
AT the Redlands dam the water is
four inches higher than ever before
at that point. and serious damage is
feared if the torrent is not abated in

paired this afternoon.
Through the courtesy of Com
missioner Vedder a Sentinel repre-
sentative visited the pump house
this afternoon. A gang of men
are employed all day putting in rock
rip-rapping on the upper side of the
pump house and these, with several
more and a team, will be kept at
work as long as the high water
lasts.
No efforts are being spared to save
the pump house, and there will prob
ably be no likelihood of the pumps
being swamped or the building dam
aged unless the water raises almost
foot higher than it is at present.
Last year the high water mark
was feet on the gauge, which is
nearly 10 feet lower than this year.
The highest point ever reached in the
river was in 1909 when the gauge
registered / feet 3 inches.

"Grand Junction people will still
have water for domestic use and
fire protection even if the pump

Vedder this afternoon. 81 have Just
completed arrangements with the Or

cut off mt the pump house. A pipe
line will be run from the ditch to
the HANNAH Creek pipe line at the

MUST SAVE
WATER NOW

This afternoon Commissioner
Vedder urged The Sentinel to is
sue IA special warning to all the
citizens to use less water during
the danger from high water. The
pumps at the pump house are in
poor condition, and the reserve
supply in the reservoir is being
lowered every day. Unless the
people conserve the supply the
city will certainly face "a water
famine.
If the pumps are damaged by
the high water, they will be una
bic to keep pace with the demand
and the city will he without ade-
quate fire protection. With the
present wind this danger cannot
he minimized.
In case the pumps are swamped
and ruined the connection with
the canal will take some time and
the mains will be entirely dry
unless the present waste is stop
ped. Mr.. Vedder urges that
lawns be watered as little as pos
sible. Many citizens have re-
sronded to the urgent call anu
will use no water at all on their
lawns until the danger is past.

been complied with. If in any col
lege there is neglect or Indifference
to such Bible teaching and Christian
influence it arises from a temporary
cause. which, under the pressure of
the general Christian spirit of our

1t has come to pass that there is
no other place today but the Christ
ian college where a comprehensive
knowledge of the Bible as a book is
required to be taught as part of
the curriculum required for gradua-
tion. The Christian college has a
freedom in the matter of Bible study
that is denied to state schools. 1t
has the greatest opportunity in the
American educational life today to
give a working knowledge of the BIZ
BILE to its students. The time has
come for the Christian college to take
still greater advantage of that
freedom and that opportunity
The board is thankful to report

the amount of 1S9,525.20. From
