Senator =. N. Marker arrived
from Lovelocks last night, says the
the Reno Gazette, and reports very
high water along the Humboldt,
but does not think it will result in
serious damage so far as the river
proper is ccncerned; but the Sena-
tor says that dam which vas con-
structed several years ago at the
lower end of Humboldt Lake for
the purpose Of a water power by
New York Mining Company is
cauSsg immense dan@ge. The
dam has not been used in tpo
yesrs for the purpose for which it
IVES contracted and is of no pra.ti-
css use to any person; on the ION
tr=ry it is Of inca1e,ilable dasaagc
to large number Of people. The
Senator estimates that the back
water in the lake caused b. this
dam has this Spring overflowed
fnlly 80 0e acres Of tillabls land,
and says 1t has driven half a dozen
from 1Aeir homes. The
Senator acses 100 acres of grain

in interest will cause an4njunction

The Lsvse Question.

EDIroR HEEALps In any plan which
may be adopted by the city Authorities
for the Improvement Of the bed Of the
Los Angeles river. due regard must be
had to providing an adequate and per.
manent outlet. not only for the water Of
the river, but for the debris aud detriius
held In solution. Otherwise, the river
bed may be made as clean and smooth as
floor. and levees Of great height and
width may be constructed to coniine the
waters, and the relief will be only tenn
porary. The ultimate result will be that
the sand and soil held in solution, find
ing no channel or place through or over
which to deposit itself, will sink to the
bed of the river and remain there, grad
ually shoaling the river and raising up
the river bed, until 1t may become near.
ly rs high as the tops Of the leyees, and
tho river be even more dangerous than
without any levees. At Sacramento
city the river bed Is said TO be fourteen
feet higher than in 1859, by reason Of
the deposit Of debris. Lsvees never
wholly succeeded In either confning the
waters Of the lower Mississippi or increas.
Ing the depth Of the fow, until Capt.
Eads by his jetties carried the waters OF
the river, through the shallow waters Of
the Gulf Of Mexico, many miles from
shore, to point whero sufficient depth
was reached to allow the debris and
sediment 10 be carried away, without
shoaling or raising the river bed. The
same principle applies here. Our river
must have an outlet prepared for II. At

the Supervisors to include in the tax
levy an item for the maintenance and

1t Is an unfortunate circumstance that
Boards of Supervisors generally fix the
necessities Of the county, their aim being
to bring the percentage as low as posi-

crease the levy If need be and give US
good roads. But don't expend

guileless people advocate. Spend it on
roads that are Of commercial value to
the business men Of the county and con.
