CONCERNING LEvEEs.-It is understood
that the Commissioners of Drainage District
No. l contemplate acting in conjunction
with the local authorities in Immediately re-
forming the levees from Sacramento down
the river to Freeport, with view to making
the levee so broad and high that it may be
used if desired, as a common highway,
which use would keep gophers out. The
work indicated is to be done in order to keep
the river within its channel and increase its
sary that the bauk projections be perfect,
and without that, the drainage system AID
rectifcation of the river cannot be accom-
plished. On this section, or both sides, the
river shows stronger disposition to leave its
channel than at any other point between Sac
ramento and the mouth of the river. The
work is 80 be part of the whole system, sand
it is probable that it will, in course of time,
be pushed on further down. 1t is to be pros

the most important parts of the drainage
ways of the valley.
