Salton Sea I d Southern Califor
nia Covers 400 Square
Miles.
Washington, Oet, 9.— Who is re
sponsible for the creation of the
Salton Soa in Southern California,
which already covers an area of 400
square miles and threatens to'spread
over 2,000 square miles, if some
means of diverting the Colorado
river can not be devised?
This question is perplexing Mex
ican and American diplomatists, but
for the time being diplomatic repre
sentations have been suepended, and
both the United States and Mexico
are bending every effort to check
the river, which has been acciden
tally turned from its course through
the efforts ef the California Develop
ment Company to irrigate lands in
Northern Mexico and Southern Cal
ifornia.
Repeated attempts have been
made to turn the river back into the
channel, but without success. Again
and again, (the Southern Pacific
Railroad has been compelled to
move its tracks, which isn through
the Salton sink, and have been
forced onto the foothills surrouud-
ing the great basin, which is being
coverted into a sea. Several small
towoB are now beneath the waters
which the Colorado has poured in.
to the basin, and in many places on
ly the tops of the telegeaph poles
indicate where the roadbed former
ly was.
In the lowest part of the sink the
water is now 70 feot deep. For a
time the water from the Colorado
raised the sea at the rate of six
inches a day and it has been estimât
ed that granting the failure of en
gineers to check the river in 40
years, all the basin located |beneath
the main course of tbe Colorado
will be recovered with water.
A part of this basin is in Mexico,
and a failure to control tbe river
would give this country and Mexico
a lake comparable to tbe great
Lakes separating the United States
sod Canada. At present tbe lake is
greater than any body of water
wholly within the United States ex
cept Salt Lake and Lake Michigan.
