SUPT. CRONH0LM
REPORTS FLOOR
OF RIVER RISING

superintendent. y. Cronholm Of the
river division of the irrigation district
has filed his monthly report with the
board of directors
Mr.. Cronholm reports that the floor
of the Colorado river in front of Rock
wood gate has risen two feet since the
last sounding. This is also true of the
river bed just back of the deep water.
He reports the bed of the Alamo
channel practically the same.
During the month of January dredS-
ing was the main operation which was
carried on. During the month the
dredge Brawley moved 19O,4SS cubic
yards of silt and dirt, the dredge Cal
exico moved 1926 cubic yards of
earth and the dredge Imperial lO6,43i
cubic yards of earth.
Mr.. Cronholm is keeping a close tab
on river conditions and will be in read
mess to cope with any unforeseen con
ditions arising from flood conditions
this spring.
In this connection he has received re-
ports which show that the annual run
off of the Colorado river watershed this
year will be lighter than last year.
However should warm weather be the
rule, the discharge might easily reach
that of former years at flood stage,

GERMANY LAYS
PLANS FOR TRADE
(By Associated Press)

BERLIN, Feb. 12-All the press or
ganizations of Germany, the represent
atives of all publishers organizations,
the official Wolff Bureau. the Dutch
news agency "Trans-ocean," and the
German wireless propaganda service,
gathered in. Berlin recently for a dis.
cussion of the wireless possibilities in
Germany for transmitting news.
DR.. Bredow, who conducted the con-
ference, that there have been distribut-
ed daily report of the assembly at
Weimar. and news areias by the Wolff
Bureau and Dutch agency. The news
messages have been received by the
government wireless stations at various
points in the country and turned over
to the papers. The conferees concluded
that the wireless is not yet able to sup
ply the full needs Of the press nor any
where near il, for the wireless stations
are overloaded with personal messages.
However, they decided that the wire
less is capable of handling brief flashes
on important stories which are parallel
ed by telephone or telegraphed by the
news agencies, so that the news is
available for larger circle of people.
The conference was convinced how
ever, that the spreading of such mes
sages can be done in large numbers
only when the wireless telephone has
been installed as only i'm this way the
hiring of special wireless operators can
be avoided. They decided that for the
present the sending of news will have
to continue by telegraph for it was too
expensive to fit up each telegraph office
with wireless equipment.
In few weeks the group will meet
again to discuss any further technical
experiments with wireless telephony.

Under the law a grand jury must he

that the new grand jury might continue
