OBRECON TO SUCCEED GALES
AS PRESIDENT IN DECEMBER

presidential succession. Obregon
plans to continue Gales work
just as Gales carried on the work
and principles that Obregon be-
gan.
No Other Candidate
There are no other candidates
in the field for the presidential
election in July and the likeli-
hood of any other than General
Obregon appearing seems small.
By some observers it is alleged
that the tiny public movement to
keep Gales in office two addi-
tional years was initiated by the
anti-reelectionist elements whose
two candidates, Generals Gomez
and Serrano, were executed dur
ing the October revolution.
Only a countrywide demand
that the present president con-
tinue, it now seems, would result
in President Gales prorogation
of his administration. Under such
circumstances, it is assumed that
Obregon would be willing to de-
lay taking office until Gales had
served six years.
Obregon himself, on beginning
his term next December, will have
a six-year administration ahead
of him as the presidential term
recently was enlarged. To Obre-
gon before as president came the
rare distinction of being the first
Mexican executive who started
and finished an administration in
peace-time. If Obregon can re-
peat this success over period of
six-years, the country presumably
again will benefit from this Sc
curity and the opportunity it
gives for development.

GREETED BY MANY

General Alvaro Obregon, forin-
er president of Mexico, and the
only candidate for the presidency
in the present campaign, spent
yesterday at this border point
mingling with his many friends
of Ambos Nogales.
It was his first visit "home" in
several months. The General re-
sided in Nogales, Sonora, for
many years and it is always with
great pleasure that he comes
back to see the 'home folks.
Met at Aqua Prieta by big
delegation of friends headed by
General Fausto Topete, governor
of Sonora, the popular presi-
Dental candidate, arrived in No.
gales on a special train over the
Cananea branch of the Southern
Pacific de Mexico at 10 o'clock
Wednesday night. Notwithstand-
ing the lateness of the hour a
crowd of more than 1000 per-
sons remained about the depot
Nogales international., 1928-05-25

to greet their idol, and cheered
wildly as the General stepped off
his private car.
From in front of the Mexican
customs house, DR.. F. E. Priego,
former mayor of Nogales, So
nora, delivered an address well
coming General Obregon home.
The General then spoke, express
ing his appreciation of the warm
reception accorded him. He was
many times during
his speech by the loud acclama-
tions of the throng.

Obregon's address, Lie. Aaron

Mexico City, May 25.-O.P)
President Gales will be ready
next December when his term
ends to hand the reins of govern
ment to a successor who un-
doubtedly will be General Alvaro
Obregon, this capital now be-
lieves after many months of spe-
culation as to the possibility OF
Gales pro-roguing his term two
additional years. The expecta-
ton that Gales would extend his
term from four to six years has
more or less died out and Obre-
CONS succession seems practical
ly certain.
Gales is described as tired Of
his Job on which he has labored
perhaps far more than most Mex
lean presidents. Recently when
posters appeared on the streets
asking that Gales extend his ad-
ministration, they were torn down
and the statement made that
such propaganda was unfriendly
both to the president and Obre-
gon. While it was natural to ex-
pect the Obregonistas to make
such a statement, it was learned
from friends of the President
that he regarded the matter in
the same light.
It is never safe to make pre-
dictions in Mexico even from day
to day and both Gales and Obre-
gon are men who make up their
own minds without outside as
sistance, but there seems every
reason to believe there is still a
complete peace and understand
ing between them regarding the

increasing flood menace. Half a
dozen other districts situated along
the banks of the Colorado, as it
passes between California and Arr.
zona, are similarly threatened. The
situation is more acute in Imperial
valley only because that region IS
below the level Of the sea as well
as of the river which circles it on
the east and south, like a gigantic
arm, crooked at the elbow.
The Colorado is river of ex,
tremes. 1t varies in the quantity
of water it carries from 1000 cubic
feet per second, at its lowest, to
100000 cubic feet per second in its
most violent floods. In its potential
forces it is, on the one hand, a ter
rifle agency of destruction and, on
the other, resource of almost un-
limited wealth to the people of the
southwest.
THESE same extremes are striking
ly exemplified also in the manner
it has selected to run its course
from source to mouth. We have
seen how, in its lower reaches, Il,
has built itself n high ridge for
channel, the only large river that
is known to flow above, instead
of below, the level of Immediately

ment, the Colorado broke through
it's banks and flooded this region.
The flood water destroyed $4,000
acres of rich farm land and form
ed what is now known as the Salton
Sea. On that occasion the federal
government and the Southern Paci-
fic Railroad Company spent more
than million dollars in a frantic
effort to turn the river back into
it's course and, after herculean eff
forts, finally succeeded.
River Bed Raised
Since 1906, the river has raised
its bed some 90 feet higher, and the
danger of q new and more destruc-
tive break is greater than ever be-
fore.
Such catastrophe would mean
the wiping out of 100000 acres of
highly developed agricultural land
and the permanent destruction Of
the homes of 10000 men. women
and children who live in this fer
tile valley. 1t would mean the
complete loss to. the nation of a
valley whose products have a value
of more than 50,000,000 annually.

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creo.
sote that is pleasant to take. Creomul.
sion is new medical discovery with
two-fold action; it soothes and heals
the inflaned membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is rec.
ognized by high medical authorities as
one of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms Of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is alb.
sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat
of the trouble and checks the growth
of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac.
tory in the treatment of persistent
roughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira.
tory diseases, and is excellent for build.
ing up the system after colds or flu.

adjacent land. To the north, how
ever, we find the Colorado cutting
its way deep down between tower
ing canyon walls In some of these
chasms the river runs thousands of
feet beneath the level of the rugged
country on either side.
1t is in one of these narrow can;
vons that government engineers
have found an ideal site for the
erection of a great dam to control
and hold in check the annual floods
of the river. Construction of a dam
550-feet high at Boulder Canyon,
the L. S. Reclamation Service has
shown, will permanently eliminate
the Colorado river flood menace and
at the same time store large quanti-
ties of water now being wasted
into the ocean.

richest undeveloped resource of the
great southwest.
The Colorado river is one of the
most terrifying forces for whole
sale destruction in the United States
today. The third largest river in
the Nation, this stream each year
carries seaward 100000 acre
feet of water. By far. the greater
part of this colossal volume of wat
er flows through the Colorado's
channels during its annual summer
flood season.
Mixed with it's water, as it rushes
down from mountain heights in
Wyoming, Utah and. Colorado, are
large quantities of silt. In fact, the
Colorado, next to the Nile in Egypt.
is the greatest silt carrying river
in the world. Each year this river
carries down and deposits along the
lower two hundred miles of its
course, enough silt to cover 100000
acres of land a foot deep. This is
"A greater volume of earth than was
Imperial Valley press., 1928-02-09

excavated by the Americans in dig
ging the Panama canal.
By the continuous dropping Of
this silt the Colorado river is rails
ing each year higher and higher the
bed Of its own channel; the river
for part Of its length is now 40.
tually riding on q ridge from 30
to 40 feet above the land on either
side Of it's banks.
To hold the Colorado within its
soft and constantly shifting silt
banks, the ranchers in Imperial
valley in southern California have
expended many millions of dollars
in the construction of levees and
dykes. But each year the dropping
Of additional quantities Of silt
raises the bed of the river and the
ranchers, consequently, must in
crease the height of their levees. 1t
is obvious that this race between
the river and the ranchers cannot
continue indefinitely. AS the levees
are raised each year they naturally
possess less and less resisting pow
er, since they are founded upon
these same soft and unstable silt
deposits.
Government engineers long have
realized that unless the flood wat
ers of the Colorado river are con.
trolled by an adequate storage dam
they will some day break through
the ranchers levees and inundate
the entire Imperial valley. Once in
the valley, these flood waters will
create great inland sea which can
never be drained. This is true be-
cause Imperial valley is situat-
ed below sea level, certain portions
being as much as 250 feet below the
surface of the ocean.
Once Part Of Gulf,
The fact is that the fertile region
now known as Imperial valley was
once part of the Gulf of Califor-
MIA. Evidence of this condition
may be found in abundance in the
valley that once was the floor of
great sea.
In that distant geological age, It
appears, the Colorado river was car
rying down silt as industriously as
it is today. Sweeping into the gulf
from the eastward at point near
the present head of this body of
water, the river gradually built up
a high and wide delta of deposited
silt. This delta cut the gulf in
t.ra,, Tho continued - o,,,
ty into the lower body of water
and but for the upper portion of
the sea, isolated by the delta, was
transformed into dead sea.
Slowly through the passing years
the water in this dead sea was eva
porated, leaving a barren wasteland
lying like giant bowl far below
the level of the nearby river and
the sea Of which it had once been
n part.
1t was not until the opening of
the present century that man dis
covered the sun baked soil Of the
former sea bed potentially to be
one of the earth s richest garden
spots. All it needed was fresh wat
er. But no sooner had man begun
the task of reclaiming Imperial
valley than he discovered that his
water problem was two-edged.
First he must bend his efforts to
bringing irrigation water into the
valley. Second he must expend
even far more energy and money in
desperate attempt to prevent the
Colorado river from breaking over
its silt banks and >emptying its en-
tire cargo of flood water into the
valley. This b attic with the river
has continued through the years
with the odds against man con-
stantly piling up higher and higher.
