The fall of snow in the mountains last winter was
the ghtest known since the settlement of the coun-
try by white men. The snow had nearly all melted
before the LIST Of July. The wheat along the upper
Sacramento has nearly all been boated to tide water
Captain Foster says that the wheat crop OF 1888
along the upper Sacr tmeuto and its tributaries was
fully 40 per cent less than the preceding year.
This partial failure Of crops Is attributed to lew
weeks Of hot and dry north winds that swept
through the valley JUST as the gram was heading.

ne more trouble with the bar just below this city
since the Government boat Seizer cut ont channel,

before the Supreme Court in bank October ), 1888.
These are the cases that were referred to Judge P
o. Hundley TO make findings upon questions OF
fact, and which hndings were submitted some time
ago. The only issue these cases is that OF the
statute Of Limitations 1t is contended by the city
cOunsel-N. A Anderson and Freeman CStlin-
that all coupons over four years due barred by
the statute OF limitations and all the coupons in
volyed IN these cases being Of that character, that
no rule of Court or law can enforce the payment.
Counsel for the plsintiffs-Becher & Belcher and
Msstick & Mastick-contend that, py the enact
ment Of several special Acts Of the Legsls-
ture the question of limitation is expressly waived
and the city is estopped by reason of the special
Acts and the registration of the coupons by the
City Treasurer
