SALTON SEA AT
LOWEST EBB IN
II YEAR PERIOD
Deliveries Over Border
Increase, Less Here,
Reports Carberry'

Salton Sea at the present time is
lower than at any time since the
flood, according to the June report
of Ray s. Carberry, chief engineer
for the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict. The elevation of the sea
was taken July 10 and found to be
250.24 feet below sea Level, com
pared with 24S.5O, which is the
highest point since April %, 1921,
when the present records began
The report shows lower flood
conditions in the Colorado than
during the same period last year
In June 1922 the maximum daily
discharge At Yuma was ll5,G00 sec
ond feet. while this year the regis
ter shows 100000 second feet. The
minimum discharge this year was
$4,000 second feet compared with
$4,000 second feet last year. The
average daily discharge for June Of
this year was SJ,2l3 second feet
and in June 1922 was 97,746 second
feet.
$50 far this year, deliveries to
ranchers in the United States have
been lower than for the same period
last year. 1t was estimated that
they would be somewhat higher bar
the expected increase in cultivated
acreage did not materializc and in
addition the cooler than usual tenn
pcratre prevailing so far this sea-
son, had tendency to hold down
the demand for water,' the report
states.
I'm Mexico, the opposite condi-
tion has prevailed, as the deliveries
to ranchers so far this year have
been materially greater than for
the same period last year. This
may be due to the increase in cult
waited acreage, estimated at 1900
acres and also to the fact that tie
cotton crop is at least one month
earlier than last year, hence the
greater demand for wafer"

At the cities Of Boone, State
Center, Marshalltown, the largest
throngs of which these communi-
ties were capable stood rcverently
at the stations as the train pro-
crossed. In between there were
many occasions when some little
group, or perhaps just solitary
farmer dismounted from his reaper,
or a group Of hands at work in the
fields stopped for the moment that
the special was passing to pay their
respects to the dead President and
the brave widow who sat in the rear
car beside the flag-drape1 bier.
The special train bearing back to
Washington all that is mortal Of
President Harding was racing to
make up Il little time lost through

home state Of the late executive by

DETROIT, Mich, July 10-On the
strength OF story told by a nineteen
year-old girl police here are holding
her and three youths in connection
with the killing Sunday of Lawrence
Rickerd, twenty-five years old. One
of the youths is said by the police to
have confessed he shot Rickerd

for help when two men held him up.
Paul Da Rouch. nineteen, is de-
clared by the police to have con-
fessed, after Peggy O'Neil. said to be

to the authorities. With the girl and
Da Rouch, police also took into Gus
tody Edward Jenkins and Emerson

and asserted that the gang had par
tIcipated in twenty-eight hold-ups

three years ago, having been sem
fenced to the Ohio state penitentiary
for a three-year term. She was
paroled, according to the police, after
serving eighteen months.
