COST OF CANAL
BELOW MOST
WORK
WORKING UNDER STRESS IN
SUMMER COST PER YARD WAS
LESS THAN USUAL
Twenty.Four and Four. enths
Cents Per Cubic Yard is Set as
Cost of Building cerro Prieta Ca
nal from Volcano Lake to the
West Side Main Canal.

Comparative figures which have
been compiled by Chief Engineer G
r. lockwood of the Imperial Irriga
ton District, threw some new light on
the cost of construction of the Cerro
Prieta canal, says the Calexico Chron
icle.
The cost of construction on that
work is admitted to- be, in excess of
what it would have been under differ
ent labor conditions and if it had been
done during the winter time. without
a war scare, or binding sun to dis
courage labOrers.
But, in spite of these obstacles, in
spite of the fact that cost of labor
was higher, of equipment higher. that
duties are higher, cost of feed higher,
and general expenses higher, the rec
ords show that the cost per cubic yard
for handling dirt on the CerrO Prieta
canal was cheaper than for any levee
construction work, with the exception
of the work done by the district itself
in 1915 for some of the work on the
old c. d. levees and for the work done
on the Saiz levee in 1912.
Here are some enlightening figures
which indicate that Cerro Prieta ca
nal work cost was not so extravagant
as has been claimed.
Work on the old G. D. levees. orig
inal construction, done during the win
ter of 19O7-O8, under contract, 1871
cents to 25A cents per cubic yard.
Work on the Ockerson levees, done
under contract, in the winter of 1911
average cost 35 4-1O cents per cubic
yard.
Contract price paid to Maxey by the
United States government in 1912 for
raising the Volcano Lake levee, three
and one-half feet, 25 cents per cubic
yard.
Cost of the Marshall shOo-fy levee
at House No. on the Colorado river,
work done in 1914 in the winter time,
55 cents per cubic yard.
Cost if the levee work along the
Alamo in 1915, done by Imperial Wa
ter Co. No. /, in the winter time, in
excess of 40 cents per cubic yard.
Cost of raising the Volcano Lake
levee in 1915, work done by the dis
trict, raising the levee five and one
half feet at the east end, and two feet
at the west end. was 1914 cents per
yard for the yardage east of the DOM
inguez slough and "a $40 cents per
cubic yard for the work west Of the
slough This work was done by force
account and not one contract, and Mr..
lockwood considers it the best and
cheapest work ever done in the I'm
perial Valley.
Cost of the Saiz levee. done in the
winter of 1912, in fine material to
move, and raise of not over four
feet in height, % cents per yard.

JUAREz FEARS
VILLA THREAT
OF ATTACK
Men Drawn From Every Source
to Reinforce Garison-Attack is to
be Made is Report-Bandits Dy-
Mantle Bridge Near Town
(By United Press.)


JUAREZ, Sept. 23.-The Carranzis-
ia garrison is being heavily reinforced
by three trainloads of cavalry from
Chihuahua City and points south,
which were detrained and went into
camp this msrdingl These sforces, ,s'ii'
addition to those already here are be-
lieved to have been prompted by a
threat from Villa that he would soon
drive the Carranzistas now in Juarez
into the Rio Grande."
A rumor of an impending attack
swept through Juarez last night, fol-
lowing the discovery that the bridge
six miles south had been blown up
Tuesday by small party of bandits.
According to arrivals from the south,
the Villa forces are now twenty-five
miles outside of Chihuahua City, where
they have been since the attack last
Saturday. The passenger service to
Chihuahua City from Juarez, which
was discontinued yesterday, has not
yet been resumed. ,.
Gonzales, the CarranZa commander,
posted a decree that any civilians
found with arms or ammunition on
his person would be executed without
trial. This action was taken for the
purpose of preventing sniping as was
the case in the attack at chihuahua
Saturday.
