up the Sacramento river. He says that
grain in the southern portion of Tehama

wheat looks green but is short, but that some
of it is now beyond all hope of crop; that
grain looks better on !" red dirt !" than on
adobe SOIL and is in better condition near the
foothills than in the Central portion Of the
valley; that the grain on the east side OF the
river locks somewhat better than on the
western side; that many farmers are now
buying ed wheat for the next season ; that
what wheat still remains along the river is
held with the expectation of selling it
for seed wheat. He says that at Mon
ROCKVILLE there are about 5000 sacks os
Above that point there is no grain in the
warehouses. At Princeton there are about
5000 sacks, and at Moulton's about $4,000
sacks, all held by spectators. At Knights

sacks of his last years crop, and there are
about 10, 600 more sacks at that place belong

up the river on the steamer Dover, and to the
highest point on the river to which steamers
run, being Squaw Hill. At this place the
Dover was loaded with 6, 400 sacks of wheat,
some of which had been in the warehouse for
three years. At McIntosh's, on the return,
the Captain left the river, and after visiting
several towns in Tehama and Colusa coun.
