feet on the gauge below the present low
water mark So, while there was then
great depth of water below the then ac-
cepted low-water mark, there is now in
tervening between it and the surface of
the bed but nominal distance. At fifteen
and a half feet measurement the water
poprs through the opening on. the Yolo
shore opposite Sacramento in much greater
breadth than the average width of the
river. This checks the current below, and
causes greater deposition of the matter
carried by the water To sum up, as we
did few days ago: ten years ago the
RECORD UNION declared that the condition
OF the river justified an appeal to the State,
and probably to Congress, for aid to pre-
vent permanent injury to it. After a de-
cade the appeal has not been made, as it
should have been, and it is intolerable
that there should be any further delay in
stating our case fully to the Federal author
tiles, and earnestly soliciting their interven-
ton, not only to do work upon the river
with 4 view to its restoration, but to inter
pose to check the cause of its degeneracy.

A CARD TO TUE PUBLIC.
Getting Strong Again,

Fevers and exhausting chronic or acute
diseases leave the patient on his recovery in
pitiable state of proStration. Then it is
that he needs a tonic upon which he can
rely, one which, like Hostetter's Stomach
Ditters, will accelerate conyalesence and aid
the processes of digestion. That peerless
invigorant compensates, rs nothing else
will, for depleted strength. After using it
short time the quondam invalid feels in
every nerve and muscle that he is getting
strong again. Appetite increases, there
is gain in weight, color and fullness
return to the cheek, the lack-luster eyes
grow brighter, sleep is unbroBen and re-
freshing. These gratifying experiences are
renewed with each returning day, until
completely restored in health and vigor, he
returns to the avocations which his illness
interrupted. Use the Bitters in bilious
ness, dyspepsia, rheumatism and constipa-
ton.

Low WATER AND NAVIGATION

This is not the first season of low water
in the rivers \ decade ago boats ground
ed. But they were larger and OF deeper
drausht. The bed of the river was
then much below lis present Level, and the
basin of the bed was oval-shaped where
it is now practically fat. The ill has
been in the very largest part from hydrau-
lie mining.
Our water gauges have shown higher
water in the river in recent years than a
aeca lie ago and more. But this proves
only that the plane Of the bed OF the river
is more elevated. Then, we measured from

One OF the most noticeable and substan-
tial features of the fair is TO be found in
the county exhibits, located in the north
wing of the Pavilion. Products from a
large number of counties are displayed but
only Nevada, Placer, Santa Barbara. So
mona and Sacramento make DISPLAYS as
county exhibits. The variety and quality
of products shown by these counties is ex-
ceedingly attractive and of the utmost
value as tending to stimulate to better en-
deavor upon the part of those who lool
upon increased success and better results
derived from best varieties and thorough
and intelligent husbandry 1t is to be
most earnestly hoped that the very praise
worthy and excellent exhibits made by the
counues named will lead to bringing very
many more counties into line at the fair of
1886.
NEVADA COUNTY EXHIBIT
The display from Nevada county is not
as extensive as 1t would have been. had
those who made 1t determined sooner to do
so. But it was not until the close of tIo
fair at Nevada City that the movement was
started, and, as is understood. in conpli-
ance with Senator Stanford's suggestion

OF tins exhibit is a California cucumber six

quality, and fourteen varieties, among
which are the Spitzenburg, Alexandria, 20

beethoven, Ortley, maiden's blush and

weighs about % ounces 1t is well known
that the apples of the mountain region are
very superior in favor and quality The
best quality of pears are also raised there,
and of these, specimens are displayed Of
the Duchess, Bartlett, Beurre Clairgeau,
Beurre Easter, Winter Nelbs and Swans

is most creditable.

LOST FAITH In PHYSICIANS.

There are innumerable instances where cures
have been effected by SCOVILL'S SARSAPA-
RILLA, OR BLOOD AND LIVER SYRUP, for
all diseases of the blood when they had been
given over by their physicians. 1t is one of the
best remedies ever offered to the public, and as
it is prepared with the greatest care as a specific
for certain diseases, it is no wonder that it
should be more efiectual than hastily written
and carelessiy prepared prescriptions. Take this
medicine for all disorders arising from impure
blood. 1t is Endorsed by leading professional

ANOTHER OUTRAGE.-The anti-monop-
olists OF Nevada have another outrage 10
complain of, says the San Francisco Post.
The Central Pacific has gone and made \
reduction in the rates of freight between
San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton
and points in Nevada and Utah. The re-
duction is considerable, being half on some
articles, and others one-third. Commenting
on this the Siirer State, journal which in
its time has joined earnestly in political
movements to regulate railroad charges by
legislation, says: This reduction, like
others that have been made in railroad
rates in Nevada, was the voluntary act of
the company. No legislative BODY, State
or National, has ever reduced transporta-
ton rates in this State, though in almost
every campaign since the railroad was
built demagogues have endeavored to Get
into Office by promising in platforms and
on the stump what they would do in that
direction if elected. The statutes show.
however, that railroads in Nevada are au-
thorizcd to charge 10 cents per mile for
passengers and 20 cents per ton per mile for
freight, so that the people are under no
obligation whatever to the statesmen
who make our laws for any reduction in
-taRss OF freight; in fact, the corporations
are much more liberal than the lawmakers.
as in no instance do they charge much over
one half what the law allows them, while
in very many cases they do not charge one
tenth the amount authorized by law all of
which proves that people must look to the
railroad companies, not 10 the Legislature
10 reguihie fares and freights.'

lent Racing, Rare Sport, Splendid
Displays-To-day's Programme.

Yet Mr.. Manning has discovered no

admirable in every detail That he has
corrected some abuses in Custom-houses
