RICH IMPERIAL VALLEY FACES * FURYO[ FLOOD Mountain Snows Start to Lash Colorado River Into Torrent. Bu Times Svecial EL CENTRO, Cal., June 9.—Six valleys of the Southwest, $800,000,000 in wealth and 1,000,000 acres of the nation’s most productive land, are threatened with floods this month as disastrous in their possibilities -as those of the lower Mississippi. About June 15 the great Colorado ! is due for its annual rampage, a flood season of about ten days, as certain as the seasons because of the melting snows of the Rockies that feed it. This year the snows are reported 35 per cent deeper than normal, and warnings have been issued to expect almost anything.* In any one day of the ganger period the crazy river, even now riding high, may send a swollen sea of muddy flood crashing against thfe farmers’ intricate system of levees, sixty miles to the southeast of here in Lower California. Valley Faces Doom If”they hold, the valleys get another year’s lease on life. If they break, as they have twice in history, the river will bear down on the Imperial and smaller valleys k that lie lower than the river's bed. ■ In the Mississippi Valley the flood 9 waters eventually will recede and the land again will become fertile farms. If the Colorado dumps a sea into the Imperial Valley, the water will remain, for the basin is below sea level with no outlet to : the 6ea. A major flood will transform a populous and prosperous farming empire into a stagnant ; lake. Just this occurred in 1906, when the river broke bounds, poifted into the Imperial Valley, flooding 250,000 acres and leaving as a memento the immense Salton Sea, a brackish lake still remains. Heavyy Damage In 1922 The river broke again in 1922, Causing irreparable damage. If a repetition of the 1906 flood occurs, it will destroy wealth that may take a century to replace. The Imperial valley has been called “The Hollow of God’s Hand.” Without rain or fertilizer, the farmers grow three crops a year—lettuce, melons, strawberries, dates and every sort of produce are harvested before the eastern farmer even gets at his plow. Imperial farmers sell $70,000,000 worth of produce a year, more than in any one of eleven eastern States. Watered by their own canal that winds from Yuma through Mexico for sixty miles, their empire has literally been carved from a desert of greasewood and rabbit brush. Ask Government Aid Having spent $5,000,000 of their ■ own, and called on to fight drouth r Sand flood by turns, the farmers are 'now turning for help to Uncle Sam. A high dam at Boulder, an allAmerican canal direct to their land, a steadied flow of the river and se-curity-all these things are promised in the Swing-Johnson bill, now before Congress. The cost would be paid by the power developed at the dam. At one time the death penalty was prescribed for more than 100 offenses in the United States.

Rustic Beauty Abounds in Coolidges Summer White House in S. Dakota

The State Game Lodge In the Black Hills, where President Coolidge will hang his hat this summer. The Presidential suite include: - the spacious sleeping porches on the second floor.

Lodge Is Adorned With Fine Specimens of Game and Is Home-Like. This is the last of a series of articles on the hlstorv and romance of the Black Hills, where Resident Coolidge will spend his vacation. BY PETER EDSON NEA Service Writer RAPID CITY. S. D. June 9.—On either side of the main entrance to the Summer White House are the stuffed heads of two giant, sad-eyed buffalo. From one corner of the hall smiles the stuffed head of an intelligent looking mountain goat, white as to face, with sharp black horns. Walls of the big library are hung with the sleek furry hides of wild animals which one day roamed the Black Hills without ever thinking that their skins would ornament a presidential handout. Big Fireplace In the big public dining room, built somewhat on the order of a screened porch, are stuffed pheasant—beautifully plumaged ring necks, mounted and hung in such a way that they appear to be in flight. They circle the room, and pairs and groups of four spread their wings above each of the tables. There are fireplaces—great stone ones—in abundance, built to burn big lengths of pine logs. The furniture is solid, plain to the point of being rustic in one or two of the rooms. Thirty Miles From City One drives thirty miles south from Rapid City, over smooth, scenic highway to reach this summer White House. It is known ordinarily as State Game Lodge, and it was built by South Dakota to accommodate visitors to the Black Statement of Condition OF THE Grocers Mutual Insurance Cos. SPRINGFIELD.
