Torrent Sweeps Valley
The torrent from the broken res

away houses and their occupants as
it raced down the valley toward
Cachapol. The reservoir held wa

the copper mines.
Warnings were sent TO the viii

The Barreda tract is approximately
two miles in width by ten miles in

tract is now traversed from east to

clude construction of approximately
l20 miles of roadways, forming n

The tract also is traversed by two

The Cuates and Rancho Niejo re-
saca cross the acreage, and a large
part Of the tract is resaca soil, prac-
tically all well drained. Plans for
construction of a drainage system to
handle the surface waters are in
cluded in the engineers , estimates.
Lining OF canals, which will prevent
seepage, will greatly simplify the
drainage problem.
No sales plan has been announced

bringing additional acreage into the
district in the future.
The Porter Tract
The Porter tract, comprising $40
acres, will be brought into the Los
Fresnos irrigation districts, negoti-
atoms between the owner and the
district having been concluded the
past week. Under the terms of this
arrangement the developer will in
stall a complete concrete pipe irriga-
ton system, and will make conne
tions with the Los Fresnos west canal
near Olmito.
Clearing on this tract, which lies
about a mile west of Olmito and
extends from the Iowa Gardens road
TO and across State Highway No. IL,
was started last summer, and plans
are being made to rush the work
and also the installation of the irri-
CATION system. A highway north and
south through the tract has been
cleared, and part Of the pipe and
other material are on the ground.
1t is understood that at least part
Of the tract may be under irrigation
before spring. with the probability
that the entire acreage would be
ready for cultivation in a few
months.

IL also was announced that al
though no forenoon bulletin was Civ
en- out last Sunday, the regular morn
ing and evening announcements
would be issued tomorrow.
Thoroughly coversant with the
customary reticence displayed in
messages from the palace. the public
was inclined TO take a more pessi-
mistic view of the sovereign's illness
than was indicated by the guarded
language employed in today's Of
fetal announcements.

Senator Borah Of Idaho and
Brookhart of Iowa. who played
prominent roles in the Hoover cam
paign hold n similar view.
Similarly majority leaders are di-
vided on how and when to dispose

Hoover has promised If a solution
is not reached this winter.

Senate leaders are hopeful that
this highly controversial
which has been bitterly fought BY
Arizona can be brought to a vote by
the Christmas recess. The admin
istration's bill authorizing con-
struction OF Is cruisers, already
passed by the house also awaits
disposition. In addition President
Coolidge is expected to forward to
the senate almost at onco the new
kellogg treaty renouncing war.
Speaker Longworth believes the
house can dispose Of three Of tho
nine regular appropriation bills be-
fore Christmas. Aside from n farm
relief measure, and the possible
reconsideration of a bill to apr
ton the membership Of the house,
he does not look for much other gen.
cral legislation in that chamber.

a welcome while a shore battery
doomed the presidential salute. The
