The River snaSging Work.

In communication puDllSheQ IN the
RECORD UNION last Saturday concerning
snags being pulled from the Sacramento
river bed and improperly left upon the bars
and in other places in the river, where they
will work injury to navigation, Captain
Page was mentioned 1t is but Just to that
gentleman, however, to state that he had
no knowledge whatever of the communica-
ton, and furnished no intended informa-
ton for it. In this connection, 1t may be
stated that the article referred to has
caused much inquiry and comment, but up
to the present time no denial has been
made of the statements of improper man
agement in leaving numerous large snags-
some of them whole trees, rs feet or more
in length-lying upon bars and in other
places along the river bed. If the state
ments of our correspondent are incorrect,
we shall take great pleasure in publishing
a correction concerning them If they
are true, they constitute facts which are ex
tremely reprehensble, and in direct con-
hict of the orders which at least prevailed
some time since, when all snags raised by
the Seller were to be remoTed entirely from
the river, or blasted into such small pieces
that they could not possibly again interfere
with navigation.
SUNG YoLo CoUNrY-The Yolo Nail
SAYS that H. S. Beals, lessee of the Wood
land Opera House on October u, 1886,
commenced suit against the county of Yolo
for the sum OF $500 for rent of Opera House
during the Harlan trial-for thirty seven
days at $40 per day, and also for the sum of
$92 so for salary of ianitor, at the rate of
50 80. 1t will be remembered that on the
10th day of June, 1856, Judge Garoutte adj
I .f Of
pie vs. j. H. Harlan to the Opera House,
owing to the extreme heat and in
convenience of the jury-box. On the
18th day of September, 1886, the Board
| of Su oervisors rejected the claims, and now
Mr. Beals begins suit for the payment of
said amounts, and costs of suit.
HAY IN ABUNDANCE. = The immense
amount of hay brought to the city from
Yolo county lately has attracted a great
deal of attention. Most of it is oat hay,
raised on lands lying in the vicinity of
Davisville, and between there and Wood
| land. The ranchers, having no other use
| for their teams at present, find it cheaper
to bring it to the city by wagon each team
| hauling two wagons, bearing two and a
half tons-than to ship to market by rail.
| There has also been a large quantity of al
| falfa brought to town from the river
ranches, but the crop is short this year
| owing to so much land having been
drowned out last winter and spring. Good
alfalfa is bringing better price than aver
age oat hay.
