WHY SALTON SEA is SALT

Reports that plans are under way
to develop water power from the Col
orado ~river-which gives ample proof
of the power 1t can exert in the carv-
ing of the Grand Canyon-are said
to have aroused apprehension in the
minds Of the operators Of irrigated
farms in the Imperial valley of Cali
fornia, neal the shores Of the Salton
sea. The Imperial valley depends on
the Colorado for it's irrigation waters.
The Salton sea is really a part OF
the Gulf of California with a great
ryke of silt separating 1t from the
greater body of water.
MANY centuries ago the Gulf OF
California extended to a point about
$50 miles northwestward from its
present head" says a communication
to the National Geographic society
from Arthur p. Davis.
1T also extended up the present
valley of the Colorado river at least
to Yuma and probably somewhat
above. The Colorado river, rising III
the Wind River mountains of Wyo-
ming and the Rocky mountains of Col
orado, carved the rocks along Its
course and brought the resulting sands
and mud. down in its swift current,
discharging them into the arm OF he
gulf near Yuma.
"As this process went on, without
cessation century after century, the
valley was gradually filed, a delta
built up, wei which the river flowed
far out into the gulf. 1t encroached
progressively up the shores Of the gulf
until 1t built up a delta entirely across.
joining the foothills of the Cocopah
mountains on the western shore. This
cut off the head of the gulf. and the
arid climate rapidly evaporated the
waters thus separated and left an In
land depression, which at Its lowest
point was nearly 300 feet below sea-
level. 1t is estimated that the amount
of silt carried by the Lower Colorado
river is sufficient to cover So square
miles one foot deep with dry alluvial
soil each year.
"The river continued to bring down
its load Of sediment and to build its
delta higher and force 1t farther into
the gulf. Like all such deltaic streams,
the channel on the top Of the delta
is constantly shifting, cutting one
bank, building up the other, overflow
ing both banks. and during high water
sometimes entirely abandoning an old
channel for a new one. In this way
the river has from time to time flowed
into the Salton sea for some years
or centuries, and anon has shifted to
the eastward and discharged again
into the gulf. This is the general
course the river has followed ever
since its discovery by. the Spaniards
In the Sixteenth century.
AT high water the river normally
overfows its banks in the valley re
gions all the way from the Crane
Canyon to the Gulf of California. IL
unusually high water, such as oc
Cured in 1891, the overflow running
into the Salton sink has been sum
cient to materially raise the level O

are built along it, uhores."

little seeding trees suffered especial

In 1860. because of massacres, the
European powers insisted that these
mountains be made autonomous. And
following that date this little district
became a living demonstration OF what
good government will produce and Of
what the people of the land are cap
able of becoming.
The steep mountain sides were ter
raced to a height Of 1000 feet and
planted to olives. figs and vines.
Taxes were low, safety TO persons and
property secured, good roads built and
kept in repair. The people constructed
more comfortable homes and sent their
sons to schools and college.

Duekling, the first officer, added a few
o~bsequious remarks on his own ac-
count. The result was that the crew,
getting no redress, refused to make
SSH on the ship, and were put ashore.
Next morning a crimp came down from
London with a fresh crew.
"A fair wind sprang up, the ship was
got under way, but we we're not clear

were also complaining of the grub.
Hot words were passed between them

Broker Must Pay Wife $500
To Defend His Divorce Suit

Louis A. Ripley, stock broker, who
was in the army aviation service dur
ing the World War, was directed by
Justice Guy in Supreme Court yester-
day to pay $4,000 counsel fee to Mrs.
Elsie B. Ripley, who is suing for di-
vorce. The couple have been living
apart under separation agreement
made last February, in which Mr.. Rip
ley agreed to pay his wife $3.50 a
month.
Mr.. Ripley names George Whiting
Hollister in his divorce petition. Mrs.
Ripley has replied that the charges
made by her husband are untrue. De-
tectives employed by Mr.. Ripley fol-
lowed her and paid hotel employees in
an effort to obtain evidence against
her, she says.
