Washington, Jan. 14. — President Roosevelt ¡Saturday sent to congress s special message on the flooding of tbe Imperial valley in Southern California in which lie severely condemns the methods of the California Development company, which owns the irrigation works, and recommends ttiat the gov eminent buy out this company and its subsidiary companies, make a treaty with Mexico to carry water through tbe territory of that republic and construct great irrigation works to cover tbe whole lower valley of the Colorado and to permanently control that stream He estimates the coat at $2,000,000, all of which would be repaid by the settlers in the sauie nay as under the reclatna tion act. He begins by describing the situation in the Imperial valley, as already pub lished. He tells bow tbe California Development company dug a canal from the river into tile Salton Kink, (»»sin g partly through Mexican territory. He then tells how the river broke its tanks and flooded the valley, how the Southern Pacific company advanced money to the development company to repair the break, receiving a majority of stock as security, how the Southern Pacific closed the break last November but how a sudden rise a uionth later started tbe water again into tbe valley and says that if tbe break is not closed before the spting Hoods in March all tbe property values in the valley, with 6,090 to 10,000 population, w ill be wiped out. He says that ultimately the channel in tbe main stream w ill be deepened up to ami beyond Yuma, de stroying tbe homes and farms there the great railroad bridge and tbe gov eminent works at laguna dam. Tbe Southern Pacific, having already spent about $2,000,000 for tbe protection of its interests, declines further aid to tbe development company, and has joined the latter company and the settlers in an appeal to the government to con struct permanent works to restrain tiie river. The president says that if the river is not put hack into its natural bed, it will not only do the further damage al ready mentioned, but w ill leave in a desert condition 700,000 acres of land us fertile as the Nile valley, capable of producing $100 a year per acre. This area is capable of adding at least 350,- 000 to tbe permanent population of California and Arizona, and much of the land w ill be worth $500 to $1.000 an acre, oi a total of $350,000,000 to $700,000,000. He says the Southern Pacific is now repairing levees to keep out the high water due next March, but permanent work is needed. He would refund no money expended prior to No vember 1, 1906. and would leave the amount to lie paid for work done since that date for future consideration. Albany, Or., Jan. 11.— If any partic ular point touching on the dereliction« or iniquities of the milruads was over looked at the car shortage meeting in Eugene last month, it was supplied at the Shippers’ and Producers’ conven tion held in this city yesterday. The meeting, like ita predecessor at Eugene, was held for the purpose of impressing on the members of the legislature the necessity for railroad legislation. The people are so terribly in earnest and so unanimous in their demands for remedial railroad legislation that prac tically every other matter to come be fore the legislature has been lost eight of. The attendance yesterday included a large number of people who were at the Eugene meeting, and if there has been any cliange in their feeling to wards the railroads it lias not been in favor of the corporations . Both in the sentiments openly expressed and in private conversation there are plenty of indications that the people are “ nurs ing their wrath to keep it warm” until they can get action at Salem. A t this meeting, as at Eugene, there were none of the "cinch-bill” type of politicians, and but little unreasonable abuse of the railroads. The attendance was made up of people wiio have been so seriously hurt in a financial way by the car shortage that they are becom ing desperate and are prepared to go to most any length to improve conditions. Tbe details or the form to be taken by the pro|>o«ed legislation have not yet been worked out. As a matter of fact, they are no farther along than when they were at the Eugene meeting, and the Albany convention might not in appropriately be termed a ratification meeting inspired by the Eugene affair.
