Los Angeles correspondent describes the massive effort to close a 1100 foot break in the Colorado River.

The top now sits four feet above water and will rise five to six feet more, padded with clay. The Southern Pacific mobilized its entire equipment to aid the construction, including locomotives diverted from passenger service.
