Quoting hearings on rules and work
ing conditions. II is an open secret
that the railroads will strive by
every means 10 break the national
agreements which the railroad ad-
ministratiOn entered into with labor
during the war and which the execu-
tives now claim are destructive and
prodigally eXtravagant.
The Railroad Labor board has
given particular attention 10 the
piece-wOrk system, which the execu-
tiv5s wish TO reintroduce in the re-
pair shops claiming that production
has fallen so TO 40 per cent under
the hour system. During the war
the government abolished the piece
work system, shortened hours, fixed
wages. and formulated working
agreements. and the private owners
find their hands securely tied. The
importance OF so regulating condi-
tions on the railroads as TO promote
efficiency and yet deal Justly with
labor can hardly be overestimated.

TRAFFIC.


Present railroad wage scales and
freight rates are the center Of con
trOversy. The feeling is quite gen
eTal that both must submit TO defla-
ton. The farmers are agitating for
a reduction of the rates on grain
ard livestock particularly. while gem
eral business is finding the new
freight rates OnerOus. Since the new
rates took effect Aug 81 the car
riers have earned little more than
three per cent. Public opinion is set
against a further increase in rates.
y ct economy and the reduction Of
forces, while il has done much TO in
crease net income, has distinct linn
itatiOns. Seemingly the item that
will bear the largest cut is payroll.
That railroad wages should remain
permanently higher than wages In
other occupations of similar difficult
" and hazards is manifestly unfair
Leading railroad executives at
recent meeting made public their be-
lief that only a general wage reduc-
ton Will solve the railroad problem.
The Erie railroad in Ohio has al
ready cut the wages Of section hands
and unskilled labor. The Railroad
Labor board intends rendering a
prompt decision in the matter of
wage reductions instituted by the
Atlanta, Birmingham. and Atlantic
railroad. The case is typical and
promises a speedy settlement of the
whole question. Meantime it is con-

Some Interesting Data on the Great
 Colo. River Basin

A question of vital importance to the people of Mohave county is the Colorado river and its possibilities for power development. Power develop ment on a mammoth scale is sure to come and this at a not great distant date. Along this line data contained in a speech recently made by the Hon. Henry F. Ashurst before the Senate, is interesting. Following are extracts from this speech:
 "The region drained by the Colorado river and it's tributaries, known as the Colorado River Basin, is about 900 miles long, from 300 to 800 miles wide, and embraces 251,000 square miles, an area larger than Georgia, New York, North Carolina, Pennsyl- vania and Virginia combined.
 The Colorado river proper is form ed by the junction of the Green and the Grand; the name of the Grand was by act of Congress approved the 18th day of July, 1921, changed to the Col orado. Green river from it's source to its junction with the Grand is 700 miles long and sends down an aver age annual run-off exceeding 5,600,- 900 acre-feet. The Grand river from its source to it's junction with the Green is about 450 miles long and sends down an average annual run-off

Tilden, made regular trips up and down the river between CalIville and Yuma, at which later place they con neCted with steamships plying be- tween Yuma and San Francisco. The owners of these river boats seeking trade carried standing advertisements in the Salt Lake City and San Fran cisco newspapers up to. 1867.
 Floods on Colorado
 Hernando de Alarcon sailed in May, 154O, to explore the region north of New Spain, and reached the head of the Sea of Cortes, now known as the Gulf of California. He says: And it pleased God that after this sort we came to the very bottom of the bay, where we found a very mighty river which ran with so great fury of a stream that we could hardly sail against it." Here began the acquain- tance of Europeans with the river now known as the Nile of the West. Alarcon proceeded up the Colorado in small boats to a point about 100 miles above the mouth of the Gila river.
 Owing toSthe gradual upbuilding of it's deltaic bed and banks and it's ag- gressive "cutting edge" the flood men, ace on the Colorado river is an in- creasing and ever-recurring problem of great importance which calls for so- lutiOn at an carly date
 The Gulf of California once extend ed northwestward to point few miles above the town of lndio, or about IA miles from the present head of the gulf. The Colorado river, emp tying into the gulf a short distance south of the international boundary, carried it's heavy load of silt into the gulf for centuries, gradually building up a great delta cone entirely across the gulf and cutting off its northern end, which remains as a great depres- sion from which most of the water has evaporated, leaving in it's bottom the Salton Sea of 300 square miles with it's surface about 2JO feet below sea level.
 The river flowing over it's delta cone steadily deposits silt in it's channel and by overflow on it's immediate banks, so that it gradually builds up its, chan

nel and its banks and forms a ridge
 growing higher and higher until the
 stream becomes so unstable that it
 breaks its banks in the high water pe-
 riod and follows some other course. In
 this manner the stream has in past
 centuries swung back and forth over its delta until this exists as broad flat ridge between the gulf and the Salton Sea, about 30 feet above sea
 level, and on the summit of this has formed a small lake called Volcano Lake, into which the river flows at present, the water then finding its way to the southward into the gulf.
 The direct distance from where the Colorado river reaches Mexico to the head of the Gulf of California is about 75 miles, and the distance from the first mentioned point to the margin of the Salton Sea is but little greater. As the latter is about 250 feet lower than the gulf, the tendency of the river to flow in that direction needs no demonstration. This coupled with the inevitable necessity for such an allu- vial stream to leave its channel at in- tervals constitutes the menace to the lands lying about Salton Sea, called the Imperial Valley. As there is no escape of water from Salton Sea ex- cept by evaporation, the river flowing into this sea would, unless diverted, gradually fill it to sea level and sub merge the cultivated land and the towns of Imperial Valley, nearly all of which are below sea level. Any flood waters that overflow the bank to the north must therefore without fail be restrained and not allowed to flow northward into Salton Sea. This is now prevented by large levee north Of Volcano Lake, extending eastward and connecting with high lands near Andrade. This levee is in Mexico and its maintenance is complicated therefy.

utaries, contains mountains reaching to height of 13,500 feet, belted at the base by forests of vivid green, and capped with gleaming snow; it con tains playas and inland lakes below the level of the sea; it contains vast, desolate plateaus of rugged, black scoria; immense forests of pine, ce- dar, and pinon, and in these forests are hundreds of small parks, bowl like gems of exquisite scenery; it contains the largest area of recent vol canic action to be found on the conti- nent, "recent" being employed in its geological sense. It contains a real desert where the raw and scorching sun comes down as a pitiless fail, where the sand reflects the heat and glare and distresses the eye of the traveller, and where little dew or mois- ture is deposited, but where wind, hot as a furnace blast, sometimes blows from the south.
 Before the railroad was built through it a journey over this desert was at times dangerous and always fraught with extreme discomfort. Day after day nothing was to be seen but an expanse of hot sand, with now and then a cactus lifting it's thorny arms into the barren gloom. The loneliness and helplessness of the pioneer there
