that theregion about Saltonjs to be irrigated by a canal taken out on the east bank of the Colorado river Since the Salton basin lies far to the west of the river in question it is not apparent what connection there can be between the canal Ph its eastern side and this basin But granting that water Is to be diverted into the Salton sinfcfdrthe pur iwuoi establishin there ft frreat reser voir it is not apparent of what use it wonid be alter tms is aonaj ine salton basin as has been explained timeand againis from 200 to 300 feet below the sea level while the land to be Irrigated is at various neignts aoove tnat ieveLii ence while it is easy enough to fill the basin with water it would be a Duzzling task to cet it to run put upon the lands needing irrigation sj it maue to appear mat me entrre desert can be reclaimed taking in millions of acres both in California and Mexico No reservation whatever is made on this point The fact is however that while there arein reality Jarge areas iff what is known as the New River country Which can be reclaimed bv irrigatibn there is a far greater proporticn which is made up OI smiting sanua ana aisiuiueposits niutu are no wand must always
