LANDS
IN MEXICO
FLOODED
River Raging and being Con-
trOlled with Difficulty
Tyler Reticent About Dis
cussing Flood Conditions.

Forces Of the Imperial Irrigation
District and several companies in
Mexico have been unable to close the
break in the SaiZ levee which sever
al times in the last 4S hours has
threatened to get completely out of
control and flood large sections of
Mexican lands.
This noon advices from below tn,
line were to the effect that the break
is still SO feet wide and that the force:
Of the district were working night ant
day to KEEP it from widening. Two
other small breaks in the SaiZ have
ben repaired.
The situation was particularly crit
ical Saturday night but the night
passed with the battle between the
river and the men still undecided.
There is approximately 10000
second feet flowing in the river al
this time, which is the greatest flood
in the history of the Colorado river
Then encouraging angle to the sit
uation is that there has been no rise
in the river since yesterday noon,
which may be taken as an indica-
ton that the river is reaching the
peak of its annual spring flood. There
are indications that the peak Will
continue about the same for the next
four or five days.
This morning it was said that be-
tween 85 and 100 acres of crops be-
longing to the Cudahy interesest We're
under water. 1t was feared that otii-
er lends will be inundated before the
flood was over There are three
companies which will Ne affected, Tie
Ilaperial DeveloDrlcrr company. The
Alamo Plantation company and Cor
arl ',hashi w lie the tracks of the
Inter- California railway run through
The territory t,reatened With inun'
cation.
President Nickerson of the district
is at the levees today and will make
a complete statement today it was an
nounced. This morning Acting Man
ager S. II. Tyler denied that the Salz
levee had been abandoned but ad-
mitted the situation was very serious
Mr.. Tyler has given orders that no
person under him shall talk for publ
cation and then has been very reticen'
himself, which is in direct opposition
to the policy of the board of directors
which is to tell the public the truth
believing that this is the best in the
long way. 1t is expected that th'
board will order the truth given out 1
information is not forthcoming more
freely hereafter.

Closed.

Word was brought to this city this
morning of the intention of the state
road construction gang to feri blast
at noon tomorrow at the first bad turn
in the highway just beyond Shep-
herds Bridge.
1t is expected that the road will be
closed for probably 4S hours.
The elimination of this turn will be
welcomed by motorists as it is the
most dangerous turn on the Meyers
canyon grade. The construction gang
has been widening this road for some
time.
The road is closed daily now from
noon until 2:30 but this additional
closing is made necessary because of
the dangerous character of the dan
gerous character of the work

CHICAGO, June New records

Never was so much money spent on
a pre-convention campaign. Election
costs have run into the millions. The
first campaign run by Marx Hanna
the Mckinley Bryan free silver cam
paign of 1896, cost about $4,000,000
That was regarded as an "orgy Of po-
litical corruption" The campaign run
by George B. Cortelyou for Roosevelt
in 1904 cost les than $2,000000
No pre-convention campaign ever
before touched the million dollar
mark. Such campaigns cost something.
They have to be "financed.' Halls
have to be hired, railroad fare and the
hotel expenses of speakers and organ
