WHEREAS, During the past rainy season, caus-
ing heavy freshets, four serious breaks in the
levees aud banks on the west side of the Feather
have occurred, which breaks by checking the
current OF the river DESTROY the securing forces
between the pOints tha of
the ryer, thus rendering present navigation
difhcult and dangerous, with a strong probabil-
ity OF stopping 1t altogether; and whereas,

ramento and Feather rivers has still an unex-
pended balance, and is made Immediately
available by resolution OF Congress; now, there
fore, be it
Resolred, By the California State Board of
Trade, thatthe Government Engineers in charge
OF the rivers of this State. are hereby requested
10 repair said breaks as speedily as possible in
the interest OF navigation, the situation being
similar in all respects to the recent Paine"

gardipg the Worlds Fair at Chicago. He
considered the nation made mistake in
putting the cost of ten million dollar ex-
hibition on one million people. Chicago
is now depending on the receipts from the
fair to reimburse the subscribers. The di-
viding of the places of exhibition at Chi
cago he also considered mistake. 1t
would be good idea, he thought, to have
an exhibition in San Francisco at the
same time, and hold out inducements for
visitors to Chicago to come here.
