The most amazing thing in con-
nection with the break in the levee
has been the slow motion of the wa
ter getting to New river and thence
down that channel.
Although the water reached Ca
lexico early yesterday morning, It
was at noon not expected to reach
the bridge at Seeley until this aft
ernoon, at which time it is expected
traffic by automobile to San Diego
will be blocked.
Up to this morning none of the
! bridges over New river had been
taken out, though several of them
were overflowed and the approaches
were being taken out, while the
bridges themselves were in great
danger.
News from the Colorado at Yuma
this morning was of the dropping of
foot in the gauge of the stream,
making total drop since the crest
passed of about four feet.
1t is now confidently believed the
flood will continue steadily to re-
cede, and that the work of closing
the break in the levee can be begun
very soon.
A meeting was called for this
morning of the advisory committee
of the mutual water companies to
decide whether to proceed to close
the break in the levee, Engineer c..
N. Perry advising the committee that
it was not an engineering, but bus
mess question, whether it was advis-
able to meet the expense, of the clos
ure, as he thought the levee would be
of little value in the future and the
water would soon be shut off natur-
ally. Later it was decided to pro-
ceed with the closure and the meet
ing was not held. Mr.. Perry is now
getting piles to the break, expect
ing to begin work at once making the
closure.
The water behind the levee Is drop
ping steadily, having gone down two
tenths of foot in twenty-four hours,
while the discharge through the break
has dropped to 5000 second-feet,
which is about one-half of the for
mer discharge.
Word from Needles today told of
further drop in the river at that
point during the last twenty-four
hours of two-tenths of foot.
Up to noon today no bridges had
been reported taken out, but the wa
ter was over most of the bridges
above Seeley, and the bridge there
was expected to be under water this
evening. From there up stream all
bridges are impossible with teams
and automobiles and the heavy flow
of water is expected to continue in
New river channel for at least a
week.
North of Brawley much of the
ground in New River canyon is un-
der cultivation, and quite number
Of families have been living there.
During the last few days these have
been moving out, and large amount
of livestock has been removed, it be-
ing the expectation that a consider
able acreage of crops will be flooded
