Sandbags are holding the water of
the Colorado river from going over
the top Of the Volcano Lake levee in
several places, and the flood tide is
steadily rising, according to a state
mcnt from General Manager Cron-
holm Of the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The
water is expected to rise about a foot
higher along the Volcano Lake levee
until about next Monday, when it is
believed it will begin to recede.
The situation today looked favorable
Mr.. Cronholm said, and despite the
fact that the levee is very soft, and
that the water is touching the to fop
of the earthwork in several places. he
expresses the belief that his men will
be able to prevent break.
Tn peak of the flood reached An
drade today, according to Mr.. Cron-
holm, the discharge being 1S5,7o0 seq
ond feet, with little change in condi-
tions along the Ockerson levee.
Because of the distance between An
drade and the threatened section of
tn Volcano Lake levee, and the inn
mense volume of water that is coming
down the river it is the opinion of the
river men that the flood peak will not
pass the lower protective works fol
about six days. and in the meantime
the workmen along the levees will be
forced to fight against break con-
tinuously.
No new weaknesses developed in the
levee today and the weakened portion
was in about the same condition today
that it was reported yesterday. 1t is
verv soft and mushy, but seems to be
holding the flood water by a narrow
margin. Large quantities of rock are
being dumped in the weakest places
above the point where the side of the
levee slid out under the railroad

DYING N A \

OESER 7
GORGE
Civil Engineer Lost in Sand
Dunes West of SaltOn Sea
Found in Time to Save
Life.

After wandering for hours under
the blazing desert sun, without water
and suffering from the effects Of 4
hearty dinner which he had eaten just
before starting across the sandy waste
Earl Vincent, Fresno civil engineer,
was found yesterday on the south
bench Of the San Felipe wash, tx
hausted and apparently waiting for
the end which he knew was inevitable
unless help reached him within a
short time. Efforts OF his partner,
James Brazie, son of immigration
Inspector in Charge w. A. Brazie Of
CalexicO, who went to seek water and
help We're successful and it is due
largely to him that Vincent was not
another Of the many victims OF the
desert.
Vincent and Braze were running
lines on claim near the Brawley oil
we'll for E. r. Mutt of Long Beach,
when they were forced to quit because
of miscalculation in their work. They
went to the Brawley oil well where
they had dinner of which Vincent ate
heartily after drinking large amount
Of yater Soon after they had eater;
the two men returned to the desert to
resume their work. The intense heat
of the sun and the effects of the food
soon began to tell on Vincent and
within a short time he was unable to
continue his work, and appeared to be
suffering II great deal, according 70
BraZie, who left him and started to
search for water.
Darkness soon overlook BraZie and,
because Of being unfamiliar with the
contour of the country, he lost his
way and wandered aimlessly for some
time. He saw light far to the east
and started to walk toward it. oDly
to discover that it was train IN
the railroad east of the Salton Sea.
After walking for several miles
Brazie found the camp of immigration
Inspector Morris on the state highway
near San Felipe bridge and was put
on the right road to the Brawley we'll.
News that the engineer was lost in
the desert was carried to Brawley and
Westmorland and searching parties
were sent out and Vincent was found
far from the beaten track after q
search Of several hours. He was in
serious condition both from the heat
and the lack of water, but after being
given first ak treatment he was taken
to the cool mountain region where it
is said he shows signs Of fully recov-
ering from. the effects of his harrow
ing experience.

Judgment Writ in Taecker
Highway Suit Received
From Los Angeles and
Stops Work and Payments

The last official step toward stop
| ping work on Imperial county's con-
crete highway system in connection
with the suit Of August T. Taecker of
Brawley, was taken this afternoon
when county officials were served
with restraining order issued by
Judge Albert Lee Stephens Of Los
Angeles. The order, which was re-
ceived here today, enjoins payment Of
any money to the contractors on ac-
count of highway construction under
the contract recently held invalid, and
orders that the officials shall not APP
prove any demands for payments I'M
der the contract.
| With this order in effect it is I'M
! likely that any further work can be
done toward completion of the high
ways for several months at least, as
it will take considerable time to per-
feet an appeal to the higher courts
and obtain ruling. Should the higher
courts reverse Judge Stephens the
work could go ahead but in the event
that he is sustained it will be neces.

of the highways be evolved other than
through the medium Of the Peterson,

AN HONEST MAN
If You Are Fat. or Married or

High.

If DiOgcnes were still running
around with a lantern looking for an
honest man he would find him among
these classifications:
Fat.
Married
Or hot tempered
This statement was made by an
authority, William 3. Joyce, president
Of the National Surety Co., Of New
York, whose business is to insure
mems honesty.
JOyce's concern furnishes bonds for
employees in positions of trust, and,
he pointed out, of it were not for the
fact that most persons are inherently
honest we couldn't continue in bust
ness.
Married men. because of the res
sponsibility of their families. are
more honest than bachelors, in the
ratio Of about six to one" Joyce said.
"Fat men are naturally of a more
contented disposition and arc less
liable to prey on society.
"HOt-tempercd men usually find an
outlet for their harmful impulses in
unrestrained language an dracclv
take what don't belong to them"
AS regards races, Joyce placed the
Chinese first in honesty, with Anglo
Saxons next. Women, he said. aDpar.
emily are superior to men from the
standpoint of honesty!
