upon the improvement of navigation in

Since 1884 S465,000 have been appro-

how disproportionate this sum was to the
Importance of the streams compared with
the San Joaquin and the Stockton channel,
for which there appears to be no difficulty
IN securing annual recommendations upon
which appropriations may be based. 1t is
not intended, however, to reflect upon the
official in SO stating, but to indicate the
deeper interest and greater activity and
persistency of the friends of the San Joa-
quin, and the unity of effort and purpose
that characterizes them in securing the
attention and favorable action of the Fed
eral authorities. 1t is exceedingly graft
flying to learn from Major Heuer's report
that surveys and examinations of the
reaches of the lower Sacramento are to be
made at an early day, upon the basis of
which estimates will be made and projects
advised.
This means great deal for the Sacra-
mento, since any such examination will
necessarily involve reference to some ex-
tent to the need for thorough and syste-
matte general treatment of the river. The
matter will thus be early brought to the
attention of the War Department, in a
way that will enable it to make recon-
mendations to Congress. The people
learned the last winter with great sur
prise that the one obstacle to the making
of appropriations and orders for the proper
treatment of the Sacramento river was
the fact that to that date there had not
been made any report of the need for
them. There was, therefore, nothing Off
cially before the department upon which
it could make recommendation to Con-
gress. 1t was the discovery of that fact
that led to the movement to have Com
mission appointed to thoroughly examine
the river. Major Heuer supplements his
statement of intention to examine and
survey the lower river as stated, with the
recommendation that the Board of En-
gineers be instructed to examine and re-
port upon the condition of the river and
submit schemes for its Improvement. For
this recommendation Major Heuer is enti-
tied to the thanks of all the friends of the
valley and of river navigation. 1t should
be seen to now that the Majors recon-
mendation is not pigeon-holed and al
lowed to accumulate the dust of the de-
partment. Some energetic activity in
tie matter will greatly advance the inter-
ests of the river, since we have now Sc
cured what should have been advised years
ago.
