BRAVE YOLo BoATMEN.
They Did Not Save Human Life in HoI
of Being Paid For 1t.

They Did Not Save Human Life in Hope
of Being Paid For 1t.
Frank Fay. one of the brave men who
helped ssye the three Cinnamon from the
food at the Payne ranch on Thursday
night last, called at the RECORD UNION
office last evening to deny the statement,
published on unreliable authority, that
himself and the other three boatmen con-
templated suing the rescued Cinnamon for
pay for their services.
Mr.. Fay says that himself, James Weir,
William Harms and another man were
assisting Mr.. Payne in removing some of
his property to a place of safety on the
levee on Thursday night, when they heard
cries coming from the timber, some dis
lance from the levee. They ran up to
Washington, got a boat and pulled down
the river, reaching the vicinity of the
break about l o'clock in the morning.
They took the beat across the levee and
struck cut in the direction in which they
had some hours before heard the cries for
help. Everything was silent, save the
roaring of the waters rushing through the
break, and they had about concluded that
the objects of their search had persisted,
when faint human cry came out OF the
darkness and across the seething torrent.
The boatmen pulled in that direction
and soon came upon the Cinnamon perched
in tree. They were so helpless from ex-
posure aud The soaking they had received
that when the boat struck the tree one of
them lost his hold and dropped into the
craft. The other was taken down, and
then it was learned that there wag still an
other somewhere in that vicinity. He was
found peTched on a bale OF hay that had
lodged between two wire fences, and was
rescued with much difficulty by means of
long hop-pole, which he grasped, and by
which he was drawn through the barbed-
wire fence.
Two of the boatmen took the boat back
to Washington, while the others assisted
the half dead Cinnamon up the levee. One
of the latter is a brother TO All 10y we'll
known in the Chinese quarter in this city,
and the latter said ne would see that the
men were paid for their services. The
next morning he went over TO Washington
and paid the boatmen $50 Mr.. Fay says
the sum was entirely satisfactory to himself
and comrades, although they are poor men.
What they did, he says, was without
thought of reward. They realized that
human lives were in danger, and risked
their own to save them, as they would dc
al any time.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
The Gas Company Viii Add the Incan-
descent system.

The Gas Company Viii Add the Incan-
descent System.
The application OF the Westinghouse
Electric Light Company for franchise to
operate its system in this city has created a
great deal of discussion, and will no doubt
spur the Sacramento Gas Company up to
giving the best possible service, whether
the franchise is granted or not. B. U.
Steinman, President of the Gas Company
says that many of the statements made
about the present service are without
foundation. He claims the company is
receiving a very low return for the capital
invested, and that it has faithfully carried
out its contract with the city. Franchises
have already been granted for two systems
in this eity-the Thomson Houston and the
Brush-coveTing both sides of the principal
streets.
There is no doubt that the people o. this
city want good electric light service and
at reasonable prices, but at 8 time when
other cities are ordering the poles and wires
of electric light companies cut down, ii
will be the part of wisdom for the Trustees
TO thinkttwice before they grant another
franchise for the erection of more poles to
carry death dealing wires.
The gas company has just put in new
boilers for the purpose of adding the new
incandsscent light to its system, and Mr.
Steinman asserts that It will furnish just as
good light and at as reasonable figure as
any new company can

THE RIVER.
IT HAS CUT OUT ITS CHANNEL TO A
SURPRISING DEPTH.
The Shoal Caused by the Break Extends
About Halfway Across
the River.

! G. E. Grunsky, the well-known civil
engineer, who was State Engineer Halls
First Assistant for many years, and who,
while in that capacity, made elaborate sur
veys of the Sacramento river, by cross-s sec
tioning the same, yesterday took some
soundiDgs in the streams channel in this
vicinity. His former experience along the
Sacramento had made him perfectly
familiar with the conformation of its bed
and channels, and yesterdays observations
were made for the purpose of comparison
with the rivers general condition at low
water periods in recent years.
DEEPENING ITS CHANNEL.
A REcoRD-UNIoN representative saw Mr..
Grunsky last evening, and learned from
him few important facts. He stated that
above the Yolo bridge he found that the
effects of the recent freshet had been to
scour out the river-bed to a surprising
depth. Without claiming to be exact, he
would say that it had been cut out TO a
depth of from four to fourteen feet below
what it was when he croSs-sectioned the
stream at low water.
Following down the river, he found the
deepening condition most gratifying, and
openly expressed the opinion that, could
the river have been retained within levees
for few days longer, there would now be
such deep water in the channel as has not
been known in many years. Could the
levees have stood 80 feet, instead of q, for
short time, the river would have
ALMOST CLEARED ITSELF
On these reaches. Opposite the Payne
break on the Yolo side crescent-shaped
sandbar was found extending from the
Sacramento shore about half way across.
On this sandbar there is varying depth
of from four to four and half feet of water.
Between the end of the bar and the lower
end of the break he found
CHANNEL SIXTY FIVE FEET DEEP,
While below the shosl the water was 20
feet IN depth.
Mr.. Grunsky expressed the opinion that,
as the river declines. the bar will gradually
disappear, as the force of the current run
ming through the break will be lessened,
and that the original channel will be re-
stored. AT the same time the break is
very bad thing. tending, as it does to check
| the current and divert a large body of
| water out into the tule basin.
RELIEF A NECESSITY.
He does not undertake to say what
would be the effect of the break remaining
open when another food season should
come; certainly it would not be of any
benefit to the river The latter, Mr.. Grun-
sky said, must eventually have relief by
means of a water way to carry OF the sur
plus water in flood seasons. He was not
prepared to express himself at length in re-
gard to this latter subject, as it is an i'm
portant one and demands careful consider
