Furnish Cash.
SEVERE ON SPECULATORS
Condemns California Derelopment
Company and Froposes' Great Ir-
i
; rl gat Ion Scheme to Cover "Whole
Lower Colorado Valley.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 12. President
Roosevelt today sent to Congress a
special mess a are on the flooding' of the
Imperial Valley in Southern California,
in which he severely condemns the
methods of the California Development
Oompany. which owns the Irrigatton
works, and recommends that the Gov-
ernment buy out this company and Its
subsidiary companies, make a treaty
with Mexico to carry water through
the territory of that Republic and con-
struct great irrigation works to cover
the whole lower valley of the Colorado
and to permanently control that stream.
He estimates the cost at 2.ooO.OOO, all
Of which would be repaid by the set
tlers in the same way as under the
reclamation act.
Me begin, toy deecrlblngr the situa
tion in the Imperial Valley, as already
published, lie tells how the Califor-
nla Development Company dug a canal
from' the river into the Sal ton Sink.
passing partly through' Mexican terrl-
torr. He says of this company:
Hard on Development C'onipanj .
The California. Development Company began
Its work by making representation to possible
ettlei-s of the great benefits to be derived by
them by the taKlrtur up of tbts IUtkI. The claims
were not only extravagant, tout tn many casea
It appears ir.at willful ninrepiwtnation
made. Many of the operations of thl cam-
pony tended to m lslal uninformed Bettlc. A.t
first the ouccera of the compmny wan cr-at n-n rl
It disposed of water rthuj to settlers at price
autflekntly large to obtain i fair revenue,
etber in each or In securities of value.
The money thus obtained from ettlem waw
not uea in permanent development, but appar-
ently disappeared, either In profits to the prin-
c! pal promoter or in the numerous ubjiidlary
eompBiilcs. which, to m. certnlrf extent. fol upon
the parent company or served- to otxeure lt
operations, The Mtory ot these deals ia oo
cnmpUcated that It would require careful re-
oearcb x.ten31nse through many months to un
ravel the devious waya by which the money
and securities hve dlsappeered. In brief. It tm
sufficient to state that the valuable coMldta-
tlono which were received from water right
were obviously not used In provld Ins nccw.i7
and permanent works. The whole enterprise
and the spirit of those promoting it aa wen as
of the numerous Fmaller rcculU'.ra aitractnd
to the subsidiary -organization were of the
most vUlonery ohsrscter. Actual Investments
have been mnall In proportion to estimates of
wealth which seemed imlbk of realization.
The company entered upon It corustruetlon
worK with larjte plan. but with Inadequate
capital. All of its etructurea for the control
and distribution cf water were temporary In
character, beins built of wood nd of the imall-
t nosatble dlraenslonR. Through the effort
thun made a large amount of land waa brought
under cultivation and at one time It wae re
ported that over loo.OOO actus were being more
or 1 "r irrls.'.d.
Vain Strngrglc AVltU Flood .
He then tells how the river broke Its
banks and flooiei .the valley, how the
Southern Paoiti? Oomoany advanced
money to the development company to re-
pair the break, receiving a majority of
stock as security : how the Southern Pa-
citlc closed tlie break last November, but
how a sudden r 1. -i o a. month later started
tlie water again into toe valley, anil says
that If the break- is not closed before the
Sprinc flood In March, all thi property
values In the valley, with GOoO to lO.COO
population, will te wiped out, lie ;W-s
that ultimately the channel in the main
strpam will b- cjee-pened up to and beyond
"Y mini, deatroylnK- thn boms and farms
there, the great rallroHd bridge and the
Government works al Lajruna Aam. Tlie
Southern 'Pacific1, having already speni
about sa.OOO.OCO for trie protection of iti
interests, declines further aid to the de
velopitifint company, and has joined the
latter company and the ettlers in an ap
peal to the 3o'verrment to onnslruet per
manent works to restrain the river.
Great Destruction Threatens.
The Proptdent says that. If the river In
not put back In It natural bed, it will
not only flu tnc runner damage already
mentioned, but will leave in a desert con
dition. TCG.OOO acres of land an fertile us

NO HOPE OFCONCILIATION
Encfclical W 111 Drive France to Ex-

PARIS. Jan. 12,-Tlie encyclical ispuert
yesterday by the Pope seemingly puts
to an end the hopes of the moderates of
all shade3 of opinion that the church
eventually would accommodate Itself to
new conditions In Franc. There le not
tlie faintest suggRtlon that the French
bishops will not obey the orders Inoni .

prefer an Immediate solution ff the tUftl-
cultles they will simply register the
Pope's decision.

erally recognize that prautloally there i-1
no" chance of the church emerging vie-
torlous from tlie struggle. On the con-
trary. the lot o? the church will be only
harder. If it is the Vatican's purpose
to drive- franc to Canosea it must fail,
as, no matter how desirable negotiations
might have been ' at the beginning:. th
mere niKfr;etton now of negotlatlnir would
mean the tnetant downfall of the Cabinet.
ir the object of the Vatican Is to arouo
tho Catholics to seek redres at the polls',
the first attempt at organization for that
purpose would he. met hy a measure an-
tliorUing the government to regard M
priests ag aubjeotn of a foreign powor.
This Rtep, however, -will only be taken
a.a i. last resort.
Even M. Jaurcs, the Socialist leader,
refers regretfully to the consequences
which the papal encyclical will entail.
He says:
"Tho Pope desires to ave the dogma
and the hierarchy. In reality he in tw-
paring their ruin. Attlla was the scourge
of God; Pius is the scoursc of tha
church."
The Pope has sent ft letter of fineour&giv
ment to Cardinal Richard, the aged Arch
bishop of Paris, thanklnK him for tihi
New Year letter. The pontiff hopes the
cardinal may De pparerl to see Detlcr
