tempted to aeour out tbe main ditch
wblohj leads directly into the Colorado
fiver, 1'bey wished to avoid tbe cost of

of the river into it without taking the

i "The result is that the whole Colo
rado river threatens to leave its bed
and pour .into, the vast depression
known as Ballon aink. There ia already
a great inland sea there and every
day the water is rising. We are build
ing a lavee around tbe salt works, but
U tbe flood continues to rise, the works
themselves will be wiped out of exist

"In tome plaoes the face of the de

damage which may result is incalcul
able. Unless something is accomplish
ed in the way of retaining the river in
its present channel, the whole south
