The widespread Interest in tne
(flooding of the Salton sea by the
Colorado river, renders the following
details of that great catastrophe
taken from the Boise statesman, oi
more than ordinary Interest, 'lne
Statesman of this morning says:
At Salt Lake D. W. Ross met en
gineers familiar with conditions where
the Colorado river Is making a new
channel for itself into the Salton sea
and his narrative of conditions sur-
oundlng that great bieak of the rest
less river is one of the most Interest
ing imaginable.
The Imperial canal was tnaen out
of the Colorado at a point a utuu
north of the Mexican boundary for
the Irrigation of lands In the great de-
nroanlon of which the Salton sea is
the bottom. In the course ol tune,
und after a large number of settlers
hud made hcmi.-a on the lands, the
company found It could not keep the
canal near the Inlet from filling with
silt. It then got permission from
Mexico to construct another Inlet from
the river. This was to be done under
control of Mexican engineers, but the
company went ahead without waiting
for advice and built a section of ca
nal connecting with the main canal
some distance from the river.
This was not furnished with head
works and when the river rose it sent
a great volume of water through
which at once began cutting. Before
anything could be done the river had
opened a great channel for Itself and
was pouring Into the ballon Sinn,
forming a large lake there. It fol
lowed the channel some distance and
then cut an Independent chanpel for
Itself. This continued until practical
ly the entire river was flowing through
the new channel.
To understand the situation It is
necessary to know the elevutlors and
dlMances. At Yuma the elevation Is
100 feet above sea level. From there

mon Aches at (I Ills of Pendleton
People.
As one weak link weakens a chain.
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking-down.
Overwoik, strains, colds and other
causes Injure the kidneys and when
their activity ia lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess of urlo
poison circulated In the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary Ills come, and there Is an ever,
lncrenrlnp tendency towards diabetes
and fntnl Brlght's disease. There Is
no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly on
the, kidneys and cure every kidney 111.
Pendleton cures are the proof.
F. A. Morris, retired, who lives on
Park aVenue, and Is well known to
Pendleton people, says: "I . was
troubled with my kidneys off and on
for three years. In early days, I had
worked In a shirt factory In Rock
ford, III., standing all day at a bench
and later on I became a motorman on
an electric car. That, too, kept me on
my feet nil day and aggravated my
complaint. If it did not start It. It
annoyed me through the dny more
than at any other time. I finally got
a box cf Doan's Kidney Pills at the
feniieton urug lo. s store ana usea
them. They cured me. I have not
had even the slightest attack of back
ache for five years, nor have I used
any pills since I stopped the treat
ment last October."

Mr. E. J. BROTHFRTON
"" Proprietress,
to the head of the gulf It is some 200
miles. The bottom cf Salton sink is
270 feet below sea level, and the dis
tance from there to Yuma Is only
about 100 miles. Flowing In that di
rectlon, the water could find a drop
of 370 feet In 100 miles, whereas Its
natural channel had a fall of only 100
feet In twice the distance.
Very Rapid Erosjon,
On its new course the river gained
great velocity and it consequently
eroded the bottom and sides of its
course very rapidly. Up to the time
it was shut off by the Southern Paci
fic It had, it is estimated, moved four
times as much earth as Is to be mpved
at Panama, and in places It had made
canyons 100 feet deep.
The aluvium there is of great depth,
and the river will cut so lung as It has
a current and a place In which to de
posit the debris. It not only cut
wide path for Itself, but it lowered Its
channel all the way back to the old
channel and up that a considerable
distance.
The cutting was going on at all
points along the course of the stream
and in the old river bed near Yuma
the channel was scoured out to
depth of 36 feet
The Southern Pacific finally shut
off the stream frem Its new channel,
turning It back toward the gulf In its
old course. This was done by building
a dike across the stream near the in
let from the old channel. This dike
was a mile or so In length.
Human Plans Upset.
But all that work has been rendered
useless. When the river rose under
the Impulse of a flood from the main
stream and one from the Gila also,
the waters tumbled the levee on the
west side of the river Into, the deep
channel which had been scoured close
to Us foundations. Those levees were
built to keep the water off the lands
at the high stage of the rlyar.
When tho levee ' tumbled In the
channel treacherously scoured under
Its foundations, the stream struck
straight across the Intervening space
into the channel from which It had
been turned, and the entire stream Is
pouring again Into the Salton sea.
It is not known whether another
effort will be made to divert the
stream, but the Southern Paclflo Is
already preparing to move its line so
It will be safo from encroachment hy
the rising water In the Interior take
being formed.
Report of Drain Normal.
The central Oregon State Normal
school located at Drain, seems to be
experiencing an unprecedented season
of prosperity, according to figures
given out by President A. L. Brtggs,
says the Salem Statesman. He states
that the present enrollment shows a
gain from January 1, 1905, to Decem
ber 14, 1908. of 181 per cent all
Normal students. In 1906 the Insti
tution sent out 61 teachers and In
June of the coming year 67 more will
ko from the school. There are 10
counties represented by the students
enrolled at the Institution and the
school offers courses as follows:
Four years English course, six years
German course; six years Latin
course. The classes that will grad
uate In June is composed as follows:
Four years English course, 14; Bix
years German course, 2; six years
Latin course, 4.
Pope Leo XII's Tomb.
St. John Lateran, the great basilica
that faces the Campagna and the Al
ban hills, In which th late pope
chose to be finally burled, and
which his tomb and his monument
have Just been finished, is the most
Important church In Rome. St. Pe
ter's, on the Vatican hill, and close
to the Vatican palace, Is not a ca
thedral but a mere church, for the
Lateran Is the cathedral of Rome
the pope, being bishop of Rome, has
his seat and his chapter there, and
not In St. Peter's. Tie Italian gov
ernment has received some praise
for Its forbearance In leaving the
Lateran to the popes, and, In fact, It
would have been hard on them
take away their cathedral from the
bishops of Rome. London Chronl
