AT the same time it must be pointed out
that even if this appropriation is granted,
State aid to the relief works will be equally
necessary. The construction of dams is only
one item of the problem. There must be
system of dykes as WELL Colonel Mendell
shows that an enormous mass of debris now
lies in the Yuba and Feather and American
rivers, having passed down into the
streams And if this debris alone is allowed
to come On down the rivers, it is capable
Of causing the most extensive injuries,
despite all the damming that can be done.
To deal with this is, therefore, as neces-
sary as to prevent the further flow OF
the heavy debris, and the farmers on
Bear river, and the people of Ma
rysville and Sacramento, are quite as
deeply interested in securing relief from
this material as in preventing the
future flow Of the debris into the streams
We have now, however, the fullest
scientific support for the scheme of relief
which has been proposed, and which is now
before the Legislature. 1t is for that body
to determine in what manner the necessary
revenue shall be raised. How that is
effected is comparatively immaterial, SO
long as the remedies pointed out by science
are applied without further delay. We
have shown that strong arguments may be
made in behalf of the principal of general
taxation. The work is, in fact, largely
for the benefit of the entire community,
and there is no valid reason why all should
not contribute equally towards it. We do
not believe that any difficulty need
arise In settling this point, and
we think that those only will be
found in opposition who wish to
prevent any and all remedial action, to the
end that litigation may continue. The
Legislature, however, has no justification
for taking that view of the case. 1t must
perceive the necessity of prompt action,
and it can hardly fail to realize that the
only plan Of relief which guarantees sue
eessful solution Of the problem Is that

COLONEL MENDELL's REPORT.

We publish to-day the full text of Col
onel Mendell's report on the debris ques-
ton, ard we commend it to the attention
of the Legislature. 1t contains careful
review of the whole situation, giving the
result of investigation as to the extent of
the injuries inflicted upon the rivers by the
flow of debris from the hydraulic mines,
strongly recommending the immediate con-
struction of dams in, the mountains, and
advising an appropriation of $2jO,000 for
this purpose, and for further investigation
Colonel Mendell makes some further sug.
gestions in regard to the possible diversion
of the Feather and American rivers into
the basin on the east side of the Sacra-
mento, between those streams. AS, how
ever, he admits that such a diversioA
is in itself destructive to our navieable
line, and that it does not afford relief
to the city OF Marysville and to
"the farming lands adjoining the mining
drivers, which are now so seriously threat
"ened,' we think this recommendation
may be safely postponed for future con
sideration, as not coming within the pur-
view of present requirements. No scheme
of relief which does not preserve the
nsvigability of the rivers, and at the same
time save Marysville and the farming lands
on the mining rivers from the destruction
with which they are threatened, can be re-
garded as satisfactory, or ever practicable.
The system of dams advocated by Colonel
Mendel, on the other hand, is directly in
the line of the conclusions already reached
by the State Engineer, and though he shows
that the appropriation asked for would at
most only suffice to build three of the
nine dams he thinks indispensable, it
could and ought to be supplemented by
sufficient State appropriation to complete
the work. 1t is shown in the report
that no difficulty is presented as re-
CARDS the construction of the dams, the
material for which lies at hand in
Viz LAONLtetlAIos no. llONGNG1, OuC lOm vi
the debris is rapidly increasing the grade
of the rivers, and so bringing the coarse
material nearer and nearer to Marysville
and Sacramento, time is a vital element in
the work of relief Colonel Mendell is of
opinion that the dams ought to be built
this summer, at the season of low water,
and he indicates the points at which it
would be most proper to place them. The
facts in his report, condensed as they
necessarily are, must bring before Congress
the extreme urgency of the situation in a
very forcible manner, and it is to be hoped
that this representation, when backed by
the statements of the California deIega-
ton, will convince the National Legisla-
ture of the necessity for granting the ap-
preparation.

hired young man the other day who came
along on the tramp. He was there several
days, when he was asked his name, but he
would not tell it. Afterwards, while this
man was cutting some wood, the axe flew
from him and gave hlm severe cash on the
head, which laid him up. Last Sunday he
got out of bed, got gun which was handy,
and shot himself in the throat. The doctor
was called and took five bullets out of him.
The man is still alive, but says he is deter
mined to kill himself, and does not want to
live any longer. There is no one who knows
the reason Of his trying to take his life, or
his name. The people arc considerably eX-
cited over the affair. He is German.-

The trite saying that in union there is
strength, is nowhere more strikingly e&em-
plified than in locomotive. How utterly
powerless and useless each part would be
separated, and yet the combination of many
weak factors forms product of superhuman
power and vast utility. Again in the con-
structon of such an engine the united labor
and aggregated intellect of many men pro-
duce result which it wouldbe impossible for
single pair of hands to attain i'll century.
