CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Important Questions Discussed by San
Francisco Merchants.

SAN FRANCISCO, December 2Ith.-A special
meeting OF the Chamber of Commerce was
called to order at 2:30 o clock this afternoon by
President Ira P Rankin. Despite the inclement
weather there good attendance. This
was due in a large degree to the important sub
jee which were presented 10 the meeting for
discussion.
The following memorial on the Improve
ment of tue Sacramento river was presented.
To The Honorable Senate and House Of Represent
otiues in Congress assembled: Your memorialist,
respectfully calls your attention to the urgent
necessity for appropriations to secure system
attic improvement OF the Sacramento river.
This natural highway, only second in import
ance the Pacific coast, and an absolute ne
cessity to the prosperity of Northern California,
has received less attention from our Govern
ment than streams OF comparatively insignif-
cant proportions elsewhere. When California
became United States territory the Sacramento
river was clear, beautiful river, nayigabe for
vessels of Is foot draught TO Sacramento city.
II is now at times hardly navigable for steamers
of four foot draught, and is rapidly becoming
useless for navigation. as well as threatening
the bay and bar of San Francisco. While we
cannot with propriety herein discuss the reason
for this great injury to one Of the most import
ant rivers in the Republic, we may safely
assert that it is largely due TO the United
States Government itself, which fact is g spe-
eial reason for the prayer that the power which
permitted this should not hesitate TO apply
the remedy promptly, before this port is seri-
ously damage and additional losses incurred BIZ
the citizens of the Sacramento valley. The
nayigable streams of our Pacific coast are few
in number. and specially worthy of the con.
s:derstion Of the power tsat controls them. They
