MEXICAN BOOZE
FOUND BY CHANCE

Francisco Valnzuela, age II, and
John Doe Mex, 20, will never again
park their car beside fire plug, so
they declared today following their ar
rest last night by Chief Oliver and
his deputies, especially should there be
% pints Of "A, No. /" Mexican whisky
stored in the bottom of the machine in
Ia sack. The act cost them just $500
apiece, and the whisky has been
placed in the city vault for safe keep
ing.
Late last night the two Mexicans
drove up to the Main cafe to get
something to eat. They stopped be-
side fie plug. Deputy Marshal
Robinson happened by and seeing the
car stationed in the forbidden spot
locked within for the register plate,
hoping to find the name of the owner,
in order that he might be haled before
a court on the minor charge. In dong
so he spied a sack, and an inspection
led to the discovery of the 23 pints
Of contraband liquor.
Chief Oliver and Deputies Slaughter
and Edwards were called and the four
laid in wait for the owners, grabbing
them a. they entered the car.
This morning Recorder Whitelaw
fined them 5000 apiece.

A|RPLANES SHOW
RIVER SHIFTING
The Pescaydeyo RiUer Is
Rapidly Cutting Back TO-
Form Junction Uith Bee;
Need for Wier Is More Pro-
n0unced As Result.

BRAWLEY, April 16.-That the
Pescodera river, one of the numerous
mouths of the Colorado river in the
delta is rapidly cutting back to form
la junction with the Bee and form a
short cut between the main Colorado
and the Gulf Of California is revealed
by airplane photographs just taken
These were shown yesterday at the
meeting of the water company direct
ors at the Brawley city hall. The
the Bee. 1t is separated only by a
dense growth of mesquite through
which the water yet forces it's way
with difficulty during the floods.
WILL MERGE SOON
Engineer J. c. Allison, whose photo
graphs indicated the situation, said
that at the present rate of progress
the channels will be connected within
year. Numerous survey lines have
been run in the delta but the actual
conditions were difficult to ascertain
on account of the underbrush until the
airplane photographs were made.
IT'S EFFECT
The Pescadero river offers a short
cut to Volcano lake and the Gulf Of
California and the inevitable effect,
according to Mr.. Allison, will be a,
recession in the grade of the Colorado
itself, affecting the situation at the
Rockwell gate as well as at the La
guna dam.
The need of wier will be more
then ever. Mr.. Allison de-
clares unless the Colorado is put back
in the old channel. Laguna dam itself
will require considerable rock revet-
ment for protection.
Photographs of the delta reveal the
Bee as serpentine stream curving
lazily into the lake, while the Pesca-
dero has straight, direct channel.
