' be completed by thetime the dredger arrives at the upperintake jnsix weeks. From the Americ-an intake the canal willhe dredged sodeep that the entire head of the Colora-uo river can be turned through the con-crete headgate.

.Meanwhile the work on the reinforcedconcrete headgute for the upper canal,being constructed by Contractor CarlLeonardt, is progressing rapidly. Thisgate willbe builtdown to bed-rock andwillbe completed in abouf. thirty days.

The great wooden gate designed for

the by-pasa on the lower canal, wherethe floodhas broken bounds, is com-pleted, but willnot be placed in posi-tion until the lowering of the water inthe Colorado river, which willbe aboutSeptember 15th.

One encouraging sign was that theriver was continually "cutting back," intin's process, deepening its channel andlowering the water. The company wasassisting the river'in this work by theuse of dynamite, blasting out the hardplaces when in danger of damming theriver-bed.

The directors of the company were ex-ceedingly pleased yesterday at the prog-

ress of the work along the Colorado riv-er a* d at the intakes of the canal forstopping the flood into the Imperial Val-ley. Mr.Doran stated that while thewater at Calexico was higher than everbefore, being three feet above the town,there was no danger, on account of thedykes which the company I'as erectedtoprevent New riverbreaking itsbounds.
