All Imperial Valley has manifest

ing 10 be held Saturday morning, at
which there will be adopted plans for
a campaign to secure an appropria-
ton from congress for permanent
works along the Colorado river.
Never before have the people acted
with so great unanimity as they have
i'm this matter, and there is every rea-
son to believe there will be large
attendance.
The few who are counseling letting
this matter go over for another year
are meeting with no encouragement,
for throughout the valley there is
realization that it is necessary now 70
lay hold of this problem and make the
river absolutely safe for all time.

last evening, contained mistake,

of the most active in bringing about

There is reason to believe that Yu-

appropriation large enough to pro-

SALVATIONISTS HOLD
SPECTACULAR SERVICE

London, June 23.-An all-day "Fes-
tival of Praise" at the famous Cry
stal Palace marked the climax today
CT the International Congress of the
Salvation Army which has been in
session in London since June II. Par
ticipating in this most spectacular
demonstration in the Army's history
were 2,100 foreign delegates, many
of them attired in their native garb,
and some $4,000 delegates and visit
ing Salvationists from all parts Of
the British Isles. From s o'clock in
the morning there was continuous
succession of meetings within the huge
glass and steel structure and in the
big park surrounding-46 events in
all, and conducted in "a different Ian
guages.
The two principal events of the
day were the reception to General
and Mis-. Booth in the great transept
of the Palace at 10 a. m., and the
review of the Army by the General
and his staff at p. m. in the foot
ball grounds. One of the most pic
turesque features was the early morn
ing unfurling of the flags of the var
ious nations represented in the Con-
gress, from staffs especially erected
for the occasion in the Palace
grounds. AS each standard was brok-
en- out by chosen delegates the ma
tional anthem of each standard the
country represented was displayed,
and at the conclusion of the cere-
mony the fiery-starred banner of the
Army itself floated out above the
others, to the tune of "Onward Chris
tian Soldiers" A special escort of
six delegates from each country, car
rying flags, conducted General and
Mrs. Booth into the transept for the
reception service. When they reached
the platform the General was pre-
sentea with addresses by the 25 ter
ritorial commanders in attendance
upon the Congress.
During the meeting, which was con-
cluded with a stirring address by
the General, the music was led by a
massed orchestra composed of the In
ternational Staff band, and the Sal
walton bands from New York, Chica-
go, and Toronto, and chorus of A.
900 voices.
Fully 10000 Salvationists, eight
abreast, marched past the General in
the grand review, to the music of 81
900 bardSmen, and before an audience
of more than $1,000 which packed
the football stands and overflowed
into the grounds. The days events
will end at 8 tonight with another
general meeting in the transept, to be
addressed by leading foreign dele
gates, and farewell charge" by
General Booth.
The Congress is to close next Fri
day with public service in the Royal
Albert Hall, after which 800 specially
chosen foreign delegates will make
ten days tour of the provinces dem
onstrating various phases of Saliva.

Washington, June 23.-Members of
the rebel junta here, for the first
time, seemed hopeful today for res
toration of peace in Mexico. They
said frankly they believe an agree
ment on the provisional government
will be reached tonight or earlier at
a conference scheduled between Huer-
tista and constitutionalist represen-
tatives.
Men high in the Washington adj
ministration held the same opinion.
They said there might be several days
delay in sending constitutionalist rep
resentatives to Niagara Falls, but as

III IS DelleVed TINS morning tnat il
the water behind the Volcano Lake
levee continues to fall as it has OF
late that the flow will be shut off au-
tomatically by Sunday next. and no
more water would come into the val
ley by that route until the next June
flood.
Before the break occurred the Press
quoted engineers as considering the
chances even for this result in case
it should break, the other contingency
being that the current of the river
should shift to the break and the
entire river enter. In another year,
without a permanent levee, it would
be almost certainty that the river
would come in, as it is steadily build
ing its bed to higher level in the
delta country at the rate Of four feet
year.
That congress will be prevailed on
TO build the levee, however, is alto
Getner pfObaDle.
AS the case now stands, the Volcano
Lake levee will probably not be closed,
as it would require quarter Of 4
million dollars to put that in shape
to resist another food, and then it
would not be in condition to perma-
nently protect the valley.
News that the water has fallen six
inche-; at the flume shows that the
effect of the passing of the flood has
reached that point, but as yet at the
county bridges along New river there
is no loss of water. 1t is true the
level of the water has dropped, re-
moving it further from the bridges,
but it is apparent that the current
is running more swiftly, and the
river has secured out to degree.
1t is expected, however, that in two
or three days there will be material
reduction in the flow of the river, and
that within two weeks the last of
the flood water will have passed the
last bridge.
G. E. Heber, for the advisory COM
mittec of the mutual companies, has
made the following statement of con-
ditions on the river and at the levee:
Colorado River-Conditions on the
Colorado river are very satisfactory.
The cutting which began at House )
has been stopped by the revetment
placed by General Marshall. In or
Ger to protect the work put in by
Marshall there and to prevent fur
ther cutting, the mutual water COM
panies have let contract to the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
for 10000 cubic yards of rock at 81
per yard, to be dumped wherever
necessary between the intake and
House 7. This rock has been dumped
along the levee on basis of about
four cubic yards to the linear foot.
The river is watched closely and
wherever new cutting or boring takes
place additional rock is dumped until
the same is stopped. BY the COM
bined work of General Marshall and
the mutual water companies, we now
have a rock revetment practically
completed from House S to a point
near House 7. The dumping under
this contract will be completed by

Water to Shut Itself Off
By Sunday is Belief

Wednesday morning. We have just
received a wire from Mr.. Lawrence,
our engineer in charge Of this work,
stating this fact and that in his esti-
nation no further rock will be neces-
sary this year. Below House z, where
the trestle was washed out, the river
is sitting up and the current is en-
tirely away from the trestle. The
banks of the river at this place are
still from eighteen inches to two feet
above the surface Of the water and
it looks very much as though the Mar
shall shoofly will have no water
against it this season.
Volcano Lake Conditions at
the Volcano Lake break are daily be-
coming more favorable and unless an
unforeseen rise in the river takes
place or some condition arises which
is now unknown, the worst situation
resulting from this break is now past.
On Sunday, June IA, there was 10000
second-feet of water coming through
the break. This has gradually de-
creased until at the present time there
is less than 5000 feet coming through,
and the water is still falling. We now
know that the break was fed by the
break in the Saiz levee. This break
allowed the water to enter the Saiz
arroyo and from there it had we'll
defined channel leading almost to the
break and was feeding the break about
1000 second-feet. This break has nov
been closed and we are not now get
ting this water to contend with. Mr..
Perry, who is in charge of the work
at the break, has taken soundings
and informs US that no channenl is
cutting back from the break. We are
hauling the piles and setting up the
pile driver and making all prepare.
tions to close the break, but it is the
opinion of those who are familiar with
the situation that by the time we are
ready to begin driving piles the water
will have fallen to such a degree that
there will practically be no break to
cose and that it will, in a short time,
be possible to rebuild the cut in the
the levee with fresnos.
Using the Bridges.
The office of the Imperial Valley
Trading Company was busy place
yesterday, merchants, ranchers and
others calling and inquiring whether
the trucks would arrive as usual from
San Diego and when they were re-
ported held up the other side of the
Seeley, bridge prospects of delivery
looked bad for the local office. How
ever. at noon, Murray and Lindsey
had Nos. 3 and 4, loaded to capacity,
up at the company's warehouse.
In explaining the delay, they said
that they were held up for several
hours on account of the bridge ap-
proach, and the supervisors were then
afraid to allow them to pass, fearing
the trucks would get stuck in the soft
dirt Used in the fill. Murray stated:
Gas soon as / found out that was
the reason, l slipped my car into
gear and that worm.drive Moreland
went through that soft fill in short
order and we came to town."
