NOT A DAY TO BE LOST.

The San Francisco Cal concludes an
able article on the debris question in these
words; "There is not days time to be
lost in preparing to ward off the impend-
ing calamity. The overflow of debris has
ceased to be question Of dollars and
cents, and become one of the preservation
of life and the means to live Property to
the amount of not less than $4,000 geo is
threatened, involving not merely pecuni-
AIRY loss, but thousands of beautiful and
happy homes. There is no other question
before the public at present so urgent in
its nature, so vast in its consequences and
so difficult of solution. How shall we
dispose of the debris now moving down
upon lis from the mountains SO as to pre-
serve both the chain of bays through
which the river flows to the ocean and the
valley of the Sacramento, with its cities
and villages and its country honest" We
repeat the exclamation, there is net a
days time to be lost. But we amend our
contemporaries figures by $100,000,0O0.
Let the people meet in convention next
week and take counsel of each other.

The Pursuit of the Apaches.

Tucson, August 29th.-The Stars special
correspondent IN the field has just returned
from the front to Guadalupe Canyon, and
says that Crawfor6's and Davis commands
are 260 miles south of the line, in the heart
of the Sierra Madres, with ten companies of
cavalry and 100 Apache scouts. Nothing Of
interest has occurred since the fight on the
9TH, which he confirms, with the wounding
of Geronimo, probably MORALLY One of
his squaws was captured and says he was
shot in the stomach and the intestines cut
The report of Chief Chatto's mutiny and
death is denied.
1t is definitely ascertained that there are
not less than 40 Apache warriors, but they
travel IN small bands of five and six. The
captured squaw says they have vowed to
fight till the last of them is killed, as their
chiefs made them believe every one cap
tured or surrendered would be shot
The troops have wonderful endurance
Many of them have worn out their boots
and have taken the legs and made sandals
of them. Others have their clothes torn to
shreds and tied together with strings, but
all are in good spirits and declare they will
ayenge the murders of the red fends
There are nearly LOCO Mexican Federal
troops moving in the direction of our
troops, but the Sierra Madres ale so fear
fully rough and cut I'D with CANYONS that
progress is slow and difficult The citizens
of exposed settlements on both sides of
the line speak in high terms of commenda-
ton of the activity and endurance of the
troops.

An Lmperilied Bay.
re- II -r

While there is little variety in the testi-
mony of those most familiar with the
waters of San Francisco and vicinity, bear
ing on the great damage inflicted by the
mass of refuse from the mountains dis
tributed throughout the lower Sacramento
and the bays, there is yet some diversity of
opinion as to the length of time that will
elapse before marked injurious effects will
be observed in our own harbor One man
says that in fifty years it will be ruined ;
another places the limit at ten, and argues.
he claims advisedly, from the rapidly
with which the past ten years have brought
the detrltus into the Sacramento and Sui
sun bay. The former calculation is based
on the immense size of the final receipt
acles, while the latter takes into considera-
ton the probable increase in the number
of hydraulic mines and the improvements
probable in the efficiency of the machinery
employed. A third party said 1t is only
a question of time; this bay is bound to
fill up 1t fortunately happens that at
present no marked shoaling can be men
toned within the bay. The anticipations
of evil are founded on what is observed in
the bay of San Pablo and the waters be-
tween that bay and the mouth of the Sac
ramento. They say Suisun bay is now
nearly a shallow, the Straits Of Carquinez
have narrowed and the general depth has
wonderfully diminished; the Mare Island
estuary has so changed that the value of
the island as naval station is seriously
threatened; vessels could once sail close to
the tule beds on the Sonoma flats, and now
there is a great bed of deposits there.
There are those who claim they see pro-
nounced symptoms of slicl1ens in this har-
Dor; that wherever there is bit of quiet
water there the signs of filling up are OBJ
served. One captain alleged he had seen
the black sands of the mining region on
the north beach another insisted that he
has seen evidences of their presence in the
bay. near Whites shipyard. II is on such
accommodating proof that the prophecies of
ultimate ruin to the bay of San Francisco
are based

Fatal Accident Near Alturas.

The Modoc Independent of August 9th
gives the particulars of sad and fatal acct
dent that happened at Cox d Clarke's ranch,
five miles above Alturas, in that county,
last Monday, A. n. Buchanan, son-in-law
of Mr.. Clarke, we'll known in Sacra-
mento. accidentally shooting Carlton
Parker, a very estimable young gentle
man of MOdoc county. 1t appears that
the deceased and another gentleman went
TO the ranch to assist Mr.. Buchanan, who
is the Superintendent in branding some
colts. The work in the corral was finished.
and Mr.. Buchanan invited the two Young
men to stay to dinner. The invitation was
accepted and the three went into the
house. While waiting for dinner Mr..
Buchanan was entertaining his guests in
various ways, when at length he remarked
that he had some very fine guns which he
wished to show them. Several guns were
examined, and Mr.. B. remarked that he
had just sold 4 very fine revolver. but it
still being in the house, he would get it
and show 1t to them. He went into an ad-
joining room, and from trunk took
paSteboard box, which contained the re-
vOlver, and carried it into the sitting-room,
where his guests were seated. AT the time
Mr.. Parker was sitting or reclining on
lounge, and Mr.. Buchanan, walking to a
table, proceeded to remove the lid and
take the pistol from the box, and
scarcely had he commenced to do
so, when there was a loud report,
and Carlton Parker fell over dead.
Just how the pistol was discharged is not
exactly known, but the presumption is
that some one must have been handling it.
and put it away without lowering the
hammer, and that as Mr. Buchanan was
taking it from the box he touched the
trigger lightly, causing the hammer to fall
Indeed it would seem that this is about the
only way in which the discharge could have
occurred. The weapon is described as
large double-action Colts revolver, requir-
ing quite a strong pull TO discharge it,
when the hammer was down, and conse-
quently it must have been lying in the box
at full cock. A Coroner's inquest was held
in the case, the jury returning verdict of
accidental death, and exonorating Mr.
Buchanan from blame.

Pipe Line on the Desert.

The English army is engaged in construetinga
water pipe line from suakim on the Red Sea, $50
miles across the desert 10 Berber. on the river
Nile This is a long conduit. It's progress will
be watched by Cabinets. and it will be discussed
at fresides around the world. But were the
bottles Of Castoria used last year, placed end TO
end they would form an inch and a halfpipe line
of health syrup 5000 miles long, or extending
from its reservoir IN New York, to San Francisco.
Yet the contents of this Castoria line are sucked
dry yearly. and by children alone. Such an
illustration helps convey an idea of the popu.
larity and the immense trade in this wonderful
preparation which silently filters into so many
homes. Mothers whose days are made weari-
some by children out OF sorts, and whose nights
are angelic vigils over sick beds, have learned
the value of remedy which promptly brings
health and rest. To them Castoria in the house
is of equal Importance to that OF water to the
soldier on the desert

Are those disorders which, beginning with
an apparently trivial inactivity of the kid
news or bladder, terminate in Bright's dis
ease, diabetes and cystitis. The first two
not only interrupt the functions of the

the deadly maladies in which their inaction
is so prone to eliminate. The removal

The story has been going the rounds

clerk gave q man and wife separate rooms

sentry refusing admission TO a lady to enter

" That makes no difference, you couldn't

Gent recital recalls to the memory of the
Red Bluff Meas a capital story that varies
the monotone of the others agreeablv:
Tired of the promiscuous use of the word
lady, the editor of the New York San once
issued an order that the word woman
should be substituted for the word lady in
that paper in all cases, except where the
woman was Lady by title. Some promi-
nent Boston people arrived at New York
one evening and were registered at a hotel.

it, reciting that So and So, Of Boston,
accompanied by their ladies, are at the

EX-Minister J. Russell Young. in q re-
cent interview in New York. said that the
Chinese immigration question is not under
stood in America; that the Chinese immi-
grants go from Canton to HongkOng, which
IS British settlement, and thence they
come to California, and so we must treat
with Great Britain in order to regulate the
immigration. Bah Does Mr.. Young take
this people for asses? Does he think
seriously that we in California did not
know where the Chinese come from? Can't
some one drive it into his skull that what
we claim as the supremest law of the
republic-a law higher and mightier and
better than statutes-is the principle that no
one has the right to come to the fireside of
this country; that entry here is a privilege,
and not right; that it makes no earthly
difference whence come an Objectionable
class, since we have the right that none can
gainsay, to say who may land upon our
shores? Ofcourse, if we exclude the peo-
pie OF a nation that power may retaliate,
but that is its right and distinct question.
Now suppose, MIR. Young that we follow
your advice and humbly ask Lord Salisbury
to induce his Government, please, not to
ship any more Chinese to US, and suppose
the British Government refuses What
then Must we submit and haul in our
restriction law horns? As says the
Yankee, We guess not.
