with barge-loads of grain from Colusa. and
had to lie there until about o'clock in the
afternoon before the barges could be
dragged over the sandbar and through the
draw. This was finally accomplished bv
the aid OF the steamers Governor Dana and
San joaquin. Captain Paige, who has
spent the better part of his life on the Sac
ramento river, says the steamboat men
have at last become seriously alarmed at
the prospective fate of river navigation.

passed there at 1:40 with barge containing
her freight, there being no longer any pos
sibility of even light-draft steamer cross
