of having the water brought from the
mountains to supply the city, you would do
well to send a reporter a few miles up the

him write an article on what he can see
and smell on the trip. Within two miles

lamb, two dead fish, of the kind known as
green sturgeon, and which would average
one hUnGrcd-Weight each, and one dead
horse, all in an advanced stage of decompo-
sition, and all partly submerged in the
water. Does this speak fayorably for a
continuance of the use of Sacramento river
water, or If we must use it, is there no
remedy: SUBSCRIBER
