pletiOn of the Saiz lcvee and the Pesca-
dero cut redoubles flood protection in
the valley, engineers of the two pro-
jects assert.
While this is the dry recital of facts,
back of it lies the romance of an en-
during battle of man and his might
against The sweeping odds of the om-
inous Colorado, menacing monster of
the Imperial Valley 3 life and, albeit,
the sustainer of that life through irri-
cation when the river is drOwsy and
under control.
River Runs in Channel
Through construction of the Pesca-
dero cut, the irrigation District en-
gineers have taken new offensive
against ,he Colorado river. They have
carried the battle against its flood
waters TO the Colorado river itself. In
stead of permitting the river to sweep
at will over the delta lowlands, they
have harnessed it, not for power but
tor safety, and are driving it's current
through an artificial channel four miles
long--the Pescadero cut. Instead OF
allowing the river to come surgine
down to them, they have gone to it
And thus far, as the waters were
turned into the new channel, the old
Colorado has taken kindly to its new
course.
But in time of flcod? The engineer:

Greater Protection Assured
VALLEY By NelU Flood Barrier

.CALEAICO, March 27. - Greater
flood protection for the Imperial Val
ley, whi.h is still inadequate and looks
to the proposed Boulder Canyon dam
project, will be realized today with
the completion of the second of two
great artificial barriers installed this
season l.. the protective levee system
81 cost of half It million dollars.
The first of these flood control sys-
tens, finished less than a week ago, is
the great Pescadero Cut, installed by
the Imperial Irrigation District at a
cost of 100000. The new project com
pletely closes the Bee river channel and
turns that dangerous l2,000foot stream
into the new Pescadero cut off channel.
1t was designed to divert the Bee river
current of the Colorado from its men,
acing proximity to the Volcano Lake
lcvees.
Is Second Of System
The new Saiz levce is the second of
the two new flood control systems. This
great embankmcAt connects the old
Saiz river at Thing $ Tapoon with Vol
cano Lake levee ut point one mile
north of TOrtuOsO heading,
Thus is closed the perious gap that
las always existed in the Imperial Val
ley's flo.d protection system, peril
that was so dangerously exemplified
last flood season when the Bee river
broke north from its treackerous chan
rcl, crested the west end of the old
Saiz and doomed down with Il rush of
floodwaters on thousands of acres
north OF the Parcdcnes river.
The Saiz leves, completed at cost
of nearly 100000, stretches eight miles
long, was backed by private capital
