Engineers Menden, Hener and Mansden
in the City.
A REcoRD-UNIoN reporter called at the
residence of Governor Waterman last even
ing and found him quite enthusiastic on
the subject of having the river improved
for navigation. He was expecting visit
from Colonel Mendell, but the latter did
not call, having been detained down town
on his arrival from the Bay. The Governo r
said he intended meeting Colonel Mendell
this morning and accompany him to the
Payne break in the Yolo levee.
He was asked if 1t was expected that any
attempt would be made to close the break
at this time, and replied that he did not
see how that could be done. He thought
that the most the engineers could do now
would be to decide upon some plan of ac-
ton and commence operations in the
spring after the water recedes.
The Governor was greatly encouraged by
the scope of Senator Stanford's telegram.
1t seemed to warrant the belief that the
unexpended appropriation in the hands of
the War Department would be at once
available for the improvement of the river,
and once the Government takes the mat
ter in hand it will no doubt continue the
work until the river shall be restored to
something like its original condition.
Accompanying Colonel Mendell are en-
gineers Hener and Mansden. The latter
was formerly Assistant State Engineer, and
is thoroughly familiar with the Sacramento
and the other rivers of this and the San
Joaquin valley. He is now Engineer of
the State Board of Harbor Commissioners,
and stands high in his profession.
The general opinion-based upon exper-
fence of the past quarter of a century with
the Sacramento river-is that the present
break, like all others that have occurred,
will do no permanent injury to the river
channel. The banks of the stream are solid
and compact, and as soon as the river falls
little more and the back-water in the tules
gets somewhat higher, the force of the cur
rent through the break will be so greatly
diminished that the bar that now exists part
of the way across the stream will disappear
in short time.
The necessities of the river are not such
as have been caused by the recent freshet-
They have been growing for quarter of a
century, and the Government should have
long ago inaugurated steps to prevent the
increasing injury to this important stream
of navigable water. The work of the en-
gineers will be tedious and expensive, but
it is better that it be commenced even at
this late day than not at all.

The Letter from Governor Waterman to

In addition to the telegram sent Senator
Stanford on Wednesday, requesting him to
ask the War Department TO use the money
at its disposal for the improvement of the

the following letter;

would seem that these gentlemen could
fad a few hours time to call on our peo-
pie for something toward such laudable
object, especially so when one of our
former citizens comes Gp so handsomely
and offers to buy the ground and donate it
to the city, and only asks that our people
take hand and help restore it to some
thing like its former self. 1t should be
known that this property. if bought at ell,
must be paid for before February LIST next,
and it would be well for the people of this
city to bestir themselves in this matter

for you and pay for the same at my own

Measurements made by civil engineer C. E.
Grunsky. who for many years was Chief Assist
ant State Engineer, and who is now one OF TINS
States Board of River and Harbor Commission
ers, indicate that the great flow of water during
this one freshet has caused considerable erosion
about five feet from bank 10 bank, along TINS
citys front, while below the creyasse above re-
terred to the deposit of material and the re-
duction of waterway have been correspondlngiy

The desirability of maintaining the river for
long periods at high stages particularly through
out its course from Feather river to the bay, Is
thus most forcibly demonstrated, and know OF
no work in aid of navigation that will accom-
plish as much good as the immediate closing OF
the crevasse now open in the rivers banks and
levees The s25O,OO6 appropriated by Congress
some years ago Tor the improvement OF the
navigation of Sacramento and Feather rivers,
which was withheld until mining by the hy-
draulic process had ceased, may, now that this
obstacle TO its expenditure has been removed,
be available and. if so, it ought at once to be ex-
pended for the purpose above indicated, thus
preserving the navigability Of the river.
