TIE MESSAGE.
GOVERNOR WATERWAYS FIRST
BIENNIAL COMMUNICATION.
A Complete and Elaborate State.
ment Of all the Matters Con-
sidered in the Message.

=
octave volume of 1G1 pages. An examination of
this elaborate review of the business and con-
Germs of the State convinced the RECORD UNION
that wider newspaper reading would be Sc
cured, of this State document, by the publica
tion OF carefully prepared condensation of all
the matters considered in it, and which is pre-
sented herewith. Its full publication would fill
more than two pages of the RECORD UNION in
small type. The exhaustive synopsis we present
omits no subject treated, conclusion reached, or
advice given, and will, therefore, enable our
readers to easily and speedily review the entire
message:
The message opens with appropriate reference
10 the death OF Governor Bartlett, and eulCgistic
remarks concerning his life and service 1t also
recommends an appropriation of So ,66O g. to re-
lmburse the Bank OF California for money bor-
rowed to pay the funeral expenses and a further
appropriation of VI 900 for painting portrait OF
deceased, TO be placed in the State Capitol.
STATE AND COUNTY DEBTs
Under this head the Executive recommends
an amendment to the Constitution to restrict
the power OF the Legislature 10 create debt be-
yond fixed limit. The Constitution of 1919
fixed the limit at 500 ,000 yet under this a debt
OF g ,l0O,O 90 at one time existed, but inasmuch
as the Legislature provided for the payment in
process OF time and made annual appropria-
tions to meet the same, the Supreme Court de-
clded that 1t was not a debt" in the meaning
OF the constitutional inhibition. An amend.
ment to the Constitution, adopted in 1871, was
intended to change this ruling, but the amend.
ment was not incorporated into the new Consti-
tuition, and hence the law still remains as de-
clared by the supreme Court in the decision al
ready referred to.
The funded Indebtedness of the counties of
the State amounts to ,266 SO, which will prob
ably be increased. The indebtedness of counties
is very injurious 10 the welfare of the people,
ana al amendment to the Constitution, to limit
the power OF counties to Contract indebt dneSs
or OF the state to empower counties TO do so,
is recommended

The work of irrigation should be fostered. In
some parts of the State it is almost a necessity.
The law for irrigation districts was passed two,
years ago, and work has been commenced un-
der it. but only one or two districts have been
able to place their bonds, investors fearing iif-
ficuity in the collection of interest and in fore
closure TO effect final collection. The Governor
thinks that it may be necessary for the State
to become sponsor for the districts to the extent
OF assuming their proper management, and the
udieious expenditure OF the money, in order
TO give investors confidence. In the formation
of districts he condemns the power gwen to
majority OF dry land owners toyote in a min or

In no other country is permitted the diversion
of streams without some State supervision.

George W. Ficks Receives a Neat Gift
From His Friends.
Last evening the attaches of the editorial
and business departments of the RECORD
UNION presented, to George W. Ficks an
elegant watch charm, with diamond set
ting. The gift was intended as testi-
monial of the high regard in which the
donors held the recipient, who had just
severed his connection with the business
department of the paper to enter the In
ternal Revenue service. The jewel is in
the shape of locket, one side of which is
inscribed: Presented to George w. Ficks,
by his friends of the REcoD- UNION"
The presentation speech was made by
John H. Miller, who spoke of the long
period during which Mr.. Ficks had been
connected with the paper and of the pleas.
ant relations that had always existed be-
tween him and his CO laborers in the sew
eral departments, and expressed the hope
that his future would be as full of sunshine
as his past.
Mr.. Ficks responded feelingly in accept.
ing the gift. He referred to his long con-
nection with the Office. and was gratified to
know that in taking his departure he did
so with the good wishes and respect OF
those with whom he had been for so many
years associated. He bad conscieEtiously
endeavored to do his duty in all things
and it was pleasure to him to feel that his
efforts had been appreciated. He was proud
of the gift just rendered, as it would be q
lasting memento of the pleasant days he
had spent in the companionship of its
donors.

LUCKY JACKSON.
Once More He Escapes the Clutches of
the Law.

Once More He Escapes the Clutches of
the Law.
Samuel Jackson, the slippery negro who
has been arrested half dozen times, and
who always manages to get off on one pre-
tense or another, was before Police Judge
Buckley again yesterday, and once more
demonstrated that he bears charmed
life" as police officer put it.
jackson was this time accused of COM
plicity with Joseph Kelly, another negro,
in the robbery of William Matuta, jap
anese youth, last week, of $500.
Matuta took the witness stand but could
not remember much about the affair owing
to the fact that he was at the time he was
robbed very much under the influence of
liquor. He remembered having seen Jack
son, but that was all.
Joseph Kelly, who was convicted last
week on this same charge, then took t1e
stand and caused quite little sensation by
testifying that Jackson engineered the
whole robbery-that it was Jackson who
took the sack of money from Matuta's
pocket and handed it over to him (the wit
ness. Subsequently, he said, Jackson met
him and demanded the sack. Witness
told him there was only $40 in it, and gave
him S20-thus holding out $3.50 for himself
Kelly said he did not testify to this fsct on
his own trial because he was afraid of Jack
son-who comes from 8 fighting family.
An attempt was made by the prosecu-
ton to corroborate Kelly's testimony, but
without avail.
Jackson's attorney, E. c. Hart, denounced
Kelly's testimony as tissue of falsehoods,
and pointed out the various inconsistencies
and confiictions in it. He said it was clear
that Kelly had a grudge against Jackson,
and, knowing that he must go to the peni-
Tertiary himself, desired to pull Jackson
along with him.
Judge Buckley said that under the law
he could not hold Jackson on the uncor-
roborated testimony of an accomplice, and
therefore ordered Jackson discharged.

"Oh, you better plead guilty" interrupted
Judge Buckley. Il saw you yesterday"
Brady grinned. did you really, Judge,

"Oh, yes you looked as though you had
been eating too much custard pie"
"Oh, no-that wasn't 1t, Judge. I had a

That's all right; that's all right. l
know all about that. I'm sorry, though,
that you will have to spend your Christ
mas in our Bastile down stairs"
II understand they are going to have
turkey down there" said attorney E. G.
Hart, who happened in during the exami-
nation.
A cloud of dust arose from amidst the
scramble and confusion in the dock. The
DRINKS were capering about Growing, and
clapping their hands in a most excited
manner. Yves all guilty! Hooray fer
turkey !" and various other similar express
sions could now and then be heard above
the din. Brady was patted on the back,
and cheered for being instrumental in
causing the joyous tidings to be made
known.
The celebration would probably be going
on yet had not Bailiff Rowland and several
police officers jumped into the dock and
stopped the festivities.

Notes of the Storm.

During the high wind on Monday night
a frame house on Q street, between Fifth
and Sixth, occupied by John Mccarthy, his
wife and two children, was partly wrecked
and the furniture ruined. The family mar.
rowly escaped injury, and were sheltered
by neighbors.
One of the largest Norwegian pines in
Capitol Park was blown down and across
the front or main street walk. The same
tree fell few years ago during similar
storm, but was raised aud continued to
grow. A derrick was yesterday placed in
position and the fallen monarch of the Park

seems almost useless, however, to try to
make il stand up, as the roots have very
little sustaining power, being not over
three feet long and of small circumference.
When the ground is thoroughly saturated
with water there is little to keep such trees
standing in the face of high wind.
From ell directions come reports of dam
age done by Monday nights galleries
uprooted, sheds blown down, etc. 1t is
worth remsrkiDg. however, that it is only

THE PAYNE BREAK.
Major Heuer and Party of Engineers Be
gin Their Work.

Major Heuer and Party of Engineers Be
gin Their Work.
Major Heuer, of the Government Engi-
neering Corps, and his assistants went to
the vicinity of the Payne break, on the
Yolo side of the river, yesterday and COM
menced upon the work of making thor
ough investigation of the rivers condition
at that point and above and below it.
In a conversation with Major Heuer last
evening he said he had found a remarka-
bly, swift current in the river Just below the
break and wide channel on the west side
nearly sixty feet in depth. On the east or
Sacramento side he was surprised to also
ind directly opposite the crevasse a cur
rent so swift that it was with difficulty the
men could stem it with their skif The
break had become so wide that there was
not the slightest danger of the current cut
ting new channel on the Yolo side, as
the water was spreading out over large
surface.
AS to closing the break, Major Heuer re-
peated the opinion heretofore expressed
that it should not be done until the water
recedes within its banks. And even then
it might prove best to wait until after the
spring freshets subside. If the break should
soon be closed and high water occur in the
American river, with no intervening breaks
between the present one and the mouth of
the American, it seemed to him that Sac
ramento would be exposed to serious
danger.
The Major and his assistants will resume
their labors to-day, and the results thereof
will be calculated on their return to San
Francisco and reported to the War Depart
ment through Colonel Mendell.
