Salton Sea Water Destroys Rail Lines and Builds Basin
The Salton basin in Southern California is filling with water from the Colorado River, forming an inland sea 60 miles long and 40 miles wide. The rising water has destroyed 4% miles of Southern Pacific track and salt works, while a concrete wall is being built to turn the river back. The incident follows a rapid rise as irrigation canals failed, flooding the Salton district and altering regional commerce and property. In livestock news, prime native lambs sold around 7.36 with killers paying 7.26 for 84- pound Western lambs, while yearlings were weaker and exports paid about 0.76 for 120 wethers.
