l.
Washington, June. 9.--"All / care
to say is that the situation is most
hopeful" Bryan replied today to
questions concerning the Mexican de-
velopments. The announcement fol-
lowed conference with the president
and John Lind. The secretary's tone
and manner were optimistic.
Despite the declaration that he could
rot say more, he admitted he expected
Carranza delegates to the conference
at Niagara Falls and was confident the
mediators would receive them on Car
ranza's own terms, which provide for
participation in the negotiations with
cut IN armistice.
He said no orders had been issued
relative to the steamer Antilla, en-
route to Tampico under a Cuban flag
with arms for the rebels.
From other sources it is learned the
administration plans not to interfere.
The cabinet discussed the matter to-
day.

Colorado River.

Mean daily gage heights and dis

week ending June 6, 1914:

Colorado Will Reach
Highest Point known
In It's Entire HISTORY

simply matter of hours until the
overflow water of the delta will over
top the Volcano Lake levee and flow
down New river to Salton sea.
This is an entirely different mat
ter from the river breaking into the
valley as it did once, though there
is no doubt that considerable damage
will result.
1t is expected that before the end
of the week the discharge of the Colo
RADIO will be greater than ever known,
amounting to 175,O0O second-feet or
8,750,0O0 miners inches.
Yesterday the water behind Volcano
Lake levee raised eight inches and
this morning it lacked but ten inches
of OvertOpping the levee, and the time
allowance for necessary work was so
small that it was impossible to build
the levee higher fast enough to offset
the rise.
1t is understood that there will be
some damage resulting from what is
now considered an inevitable Overpour,
probably including the taking out of
scme of the county bridges over New
river, and the big fight will be to pre-
vent the loss of the fume over the
river which supplies the West Side
with water.
General Marshall's Report.
Information came yesterday from
several sources which give quite a
definite idea of what lies ahead.
General Marshall, in charge of the
work on the levees along the river,
telepnoned to Engineer Anderson of
the irrigation district that the esti-
mated discharge of the river today
is 115,000 to 10000 second-feet, and
the seasons crest is expected at Yu-
ma, June IA, when the gauge is ex-
pected to read from 30.5 to 81 feet,
with discharge of 175,OOO second
feet. The highest record of dis
charge of the river since the reclama-
tion of this valley was begun was in
1909, when it reached 5000 second
feet.
General Marshall reported that a
bad crevasse had formed in the levee
protecting Palo Verde valley, and
that valley is flooded.
The reclamation service is adding a
foot and half to the height of the
levee between Laguna and Yuma.
After the crest has passed the river
is expected to fall at the rate of foot
a day for several days.
Mr.. Best Reports.
Mr.. Anderson also obtained from
Engineer Best of the Mexican company
the following facts:
A telegram has been received from
Z. F. Sanguinetti at Yuma, saying:
weather bureau reports river is ex-
pected to rise to about thirty feet
six inches within five days. This is
supposed to be high water mark for
the season.
A letter from Blythe says: "There
is 120-foot opening in levee. The
river is flooding the east portion of
the valley"
Water is within ten and one-half
inches of top of Volcano Lake levee
for about a mile and half at north
east end. Am making an effort to
get all possible teams on levee as
soon as it can be done, but with poor
success.
Little Cutting.
From the standpoint of the valley,
the most important point is to prevent
the water coming through the levee
on the river, and it is believed this
will be accomplished in spite of the
heavy discharge which is
expected. If the water should break
through there there would be di-
raot o,,rrap+ ubila 81 Noloano Ial-,
Imperial Valley press., 1914-06-09

it is simply the backwater which would
come through, and the water will un-
doubtedly quit flowing in so soon as
the river recedes.
A favorable report on this point is
contained in the following telegram re-
ceived by Engineer Anderson from J.
D. Ray at Andrade at 10 this morn
ing:
Government gauge at Yuma 283,
our gauge 20.9 feet. There is no cut
ting to speak of as The current is run
ming all in a straight channel in the
center of the river"
Mr.. BrOckman Comes In.
Director Brockman came in from the
south today to attend the meeting of
the board of the irrigation district.
having thoroughly inspected Volcano
Lake levee yesterday. He said that
the backwater rose eight inches yes
terday and has but ten inches more
to rise before it will overtop the
levee He thinks it matter of but
few hours before the levee gives way,
and the worst of the situation is that
the water has seeped through to such
an extent that for several miles along
the levee on the land side there is a
swamp condition that makes it impos-
sible for teams to work to advantage.
He did not think there was any hope
of preventing the water coming
through, but if it does comes through
the levee he does not believe the dam
age will be great, aside from washing
out several bridges along New river.
He thinks the fume can be saved, thus
preventing cutting off the water sup
ply from the west side of the river, and
so soon as the flood recedes he be-
lieves the inflow to the sink will
stop.
An Imperative Duty.
AS information of the actual sta
tus of affairs spread today there was
heard on every side the declaration
that this removes from everybody's
mind any doubt of the need of large
and systematic work at once in pro-
viding lasting protection for the val
ley from the encroachments of the
river.
A greater effort than ever will be
put forth to rush to finish the ac-
quisition of the irrigation system by
the people and the building of per-
manent protective works.
Are Still Fighting.
1t was learned today that Mr.. Best
has succeeded in getting forty teams
to work on the levee, and there was
talk through the valley today of try
ing to round up great force of men
and teams to go to the Volcano Lake
levee and make a hard fight to the
last to save it.
There will be meeting of the ad-
visory board of the mutual compa-
nies tomorrow, which was called to-
day by Chairman Anderson of Holt
vile, and it is possible such a plan
may be adopted then, though it is
felt that immediate action is neces-
sary if anything is to be done on
this line.
This afternoon large number of
citizens met with the directors of
the irrigation district to volunteer
their assistance in fighting for the
protection of the Volcano Lake levee,
and they are in session as the paper
goes to press.

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 How does the following quotation from letter just received from my brother in Georgia strike you as "hard tmes' story:
 "As far as the war is concerned I feel no effects individually from it. I made big crop of everything. sold 13 bales of cotton, paid up all I owed and owe no man anything except to love him. l have fine bunch of high grade Jersey butter cows and ship from 90 to 120 pounds of butter each month at 30 cents per pound. Have five more nice young heifers coming on, and when reach 12 milkers will begin to sell off as that will be all I can manage well. have 36 hogs. My pigs and shoats I feed on skim milk and how it does make them grow. I will begin to sell after Christmas. I get 12h cents per pound. Sold one last Thursday weighing 125 pounds. I never sell any that weigh less. I have corn, peas. fodder. beeves, syrup and meat to sell during the year. have 10 bales of cotton put away till the war closes. 150 acres of good land and good home, so how can the war hurt me? Yes, but 1t does. I would be less than human if n didn't. To see so many around me without sufficient food and clothes and heels over head in debt, and to read of millions perishing in for eign lands makes us want to share our blessings with them, as all blessings that come to us. are to be passed on if we would be benefited"
