CANYON BRIDGE
WORK RUSHING

Work on the highway bridge at the
mouth of Meyer canyon is being
rushed to completion, despite the
fact that unforeseen difficulties We're
encountered in locating bed rock, on
which to plant the supports.
When the bids were called for it
was supposed from the nature of near
by subsoil that bedrock would be
found near the surface, but when eX-
cavations were made for the supports
at the approaches, it was discovered
that several hundred more yards of
concrete would be necessary than was
originally planned.
1t was impossible to change the To-
cation of the highway in order to
place the bridge at different point
without nearly prohibitive cost, and
in that case it would also have been
impossible to have the road opened
in time for the coming summers traf-
fic The bridge will be erected at an
estimated cost of $4,000.

Canal in No Danger.

Washington, March 13.-The Pan
anna canal will not be swallowed up by
an earthquake in the future and the
troublesome slides now being encoun-
tered will eventually be conquered, is
the opinion of Donald F. Macdonald,
former canal geolopist and now con-
nected with the federal Bureau Of
Mines. The results of his studies on
the isthmus are embodied in an Off
cial report to the bureau made public
today.
While, through seismic disturban-
ces, the earth's crust on the whole
isthmus is rising at the rate of three
feet every hundred years, this will
only mean a little additional expense
in dredging the big waterway, Mr..
Macdonald says.
The cause of this rising, he de-
clares, is the sinking of the ocean
bottom outside the isthmian shore wa
ters.
Discussing the Sides, Mr.. MacDon-
aid states that in many cases the i'm
mediate ca-se was the over-steepness
and height of the slopes, the blasting
and other work attributable only to
man. He adds that the geologic con-
ditions were not sufficiently consid-
cred in the first plans for digging Gu
Zebra cut.
Recent reports that the Gatun rocks
would in time soften into mud when
Gatun lake filled and thus the locks
end dam would sink have not the
slightest foundation on geologic data

ALMOST PERISHED
ON THE DESERT

At 8 this morning Sheriff Applestill
rescued the last member of a party
of four who nearly perished yesterday
on the desert east of Holtville. In the
party were an old man named Sparks,
his daughter, another old man and a
man name Joe Moltedo. They were
endeavoring to cross the sandhill road
in an automobile from Holtville to Yu-
ma, but had taken no extra water with
them, whereas an automobile engine
requires an extra supply Of at least
five gallons of water
The party got stalled in the sand
hills, and finally all the party excep,.
Moltedo started back on foot. They
were overcome by thirst and fell by
the roadside. Fortunately a party of
young people found them but mile
or so from the High Line ditch and
took them to the High Line Store,
where they soon recovered sufficiently
to tell of the man who had been left
with the machine.
Sheriff Applestill was notified, and
he made a quick run to the spot,
where he found the man almost uncon-
scious. He was digging with his hands
in the sand after wafer. He was
brought to this city.

Crossing the Line.

Ell Paso, March 13.Never was such
secrecy observed along the line as
has been enforced regarding the move
ment of American troops, and it is
not possible to state how many sol
Giers have thus far crossed, where
they have crossed or how MANY more
are to go into Mexico. This much can
be stated, however: That the devel-
opments of the last day, apparently
indicating that this country will be
confronted by the united opposition of
the Mexican people, makes it neces-
sary to act more slowly, as it is neces-
sary to bring forward much greater
force for the protection of the bor-
der
Instead of any weakening in the
preparations for pursuit of Villa, the
attitude of Carranza against the Unit,
ed States has increased the nature
of the preparations, while the whole
Mexican population of this region is
brought under careful supervision
that any signs of an uprising by
them may be anticipated and pre-,
vented.
The Mexicans here are in an ugly
