LAKE
LEVEE BREAK
is REPAIRED

J. o. Phillips, editor of the Palo
Verde Valley Herald of Blythe, was
visitor here Thursday He reports
that the break in Olive Lake levee
was probably closed permanently on
the day of his arrival ,as reports from
he scene of the trouble were to that
effect. The break was closed last
Sunday morning but the piling was
washed out for about forty feet with
in thirty minutes after it was put
in. This was the worst part of the
break, and extra precautions were
taken when new piling was again
driven into the levee. AS the river
has gone down two or three feet
since, lit is expected that the new
work will withstand the pressure OF
the waters.
Mr.. Phillips reports that the dam
age done has been greatly exaggerat-
ed by the outside press. The primci-
pal loss falls on THE water company,
and if water can be gotten into the
bitches within the next couple of
weeks the principal part of the cot
ton crop will be saved. He stated
that reorganization of the water
company lis likely to ensue and the
entire valley put under one irriga
tion system, including the lands re
GENTLY awarded to settlers in the low
er valley.
Congress has been asked to apPpoS'
pirate $250,O0O for the purpose of rum
