THE PAINE BREAK.
Tw0-THIRDs OF THE RIVER FLOWING
THROUGH IT.
What VIII Be the Result at Low Water
Stage, When There is No.scour-
ing CAPACITY.

Last Friday DR.. G. M. Dixon, represent
ing the Executive Committee of the River
Improvement Convention, and Duncan
Beaumont, well-known civil engineer,
recently connected with the State En-
gineer's Office, visited the Paine break in
the Yolo ievee, where they made extensive
seundings to determine the actual condi-
ton of the Sacramento river at that point,
and to see if there were sufficient grounds
for the present alarm of those interested in
the navigation of the river. Captain Thos.
Dwyer, of the Steam Navigation Company,
kindly supplied skiff and two stalwart
oarsmen, and an experienced man was
taken along to heave the lead.
The result of the investigation is well
shown by the map herewith presented,
which needs little explanation, if carefully
studied. 1t will be seen that six lines of
soundings were made. One across the
river above the break, one across below the
break, one across the break in line from
end to end of broken leyee, and three lines
at angles across the new channel outside
the break, extending back some 900 feet
toward the Yolo basin.
The deepest soundings in line across the
river above the break was "a feet, with an
average of % feet. The deepest in the
line of the break was 36 feet, with an aver
age of 227 feet, while the deepest in line
across the river below the break was "a
feet, with an average of but 16 9 feet.
The deepest soundings in the three lines
outside the break were 16, 15 and Is feet,
respectively, but the fall in the surface of
the water from the line of the break back
to the last line of soundipgs is very great,
being estimated at about three feet in the
700 feet, which would bring the deepest
soundings on these lines up to II, II and
Is feet, respectively, if the water in the
new channel was confined within banks
corresponding to the limits of the break,
and the water thus brought up to level
of the river.
The current in the river below the break
is moderate; that above the break is verv
swift, while that through the break is tre-
mendous it being found impossible for
two skilled oarsmen to pull the boat up
through the break, and it was noted that
on the west bank of the river, below the
break, a strong current flows directly up
stream for some distance, and thence out
through the break.
The volume of water passing out through
the crevasse is simply enormous, and Mr..
Beaumont roughly estimates that at least

THE story comes by wire that the Span
ish Cabinet is on the eve of overthrow, and
that wherf:t happens the republic will be
re-established and given another trial. We
do not think that it is likely to occur. The
Spanish people, as CASTELAR, some years ago
became convinced, are not sufficiently ad-
vanced in their knowledge Of republican
ism to sustain free government. 1t will
take great many more years to emanci-

The French detectives confessed that
American and canadian reporters de-
feated them in their search for Eyraud, by
constantly noting the movements of the
officers and thus keeping the murderer
notified. Thereupon New York reporter,
in behalf of his brethren, sent to the chief
detective breastpin made from coins that
the officer had paid to the reporter in an
attempt to buy his silence. This may, by
some, be considered "smart :" it NAV be
esteemed wit, and looked upon as an evil
dence of the honesty of the reporter and
the enterprise of the press people who de-
feated the scheme of the French officials.
We look upon the matter in very differ
ent light. If the men of the press by
their reports, made in defiance of the re-
quest of the officers, really defeated the
arrest of and thus aided the murderer to
escape, then the men who ordered the mat
ter into type are IN sense guilty of seri-
Gus oifense, not to say criminality. The

should be the Office of the press to aid, not
to defeat the officers of the law in bring
ing criminals to the bar OF the Courts. If
the French officers offered money to the
reporters to buy their silence, it may be
said that they acted upon an assumption
for which the system of journalism is to a
large extent responsible. 1t is not to be
denied that the venal class in the newspa-
per business, aided by the sensational
press, has given to many the impression
that the money channel is the only effect
i've and direct avenue through which to
secure the silence or engage the activity of
the newspaper. When the ethics of the
business are cleared of this reproach the
true Office of the press will be discharged,

WEDNESDAY week the new ballot law
of Rhode Island was tested. 1t is not so
simple as the Saxton bill, which was We
toed by Governor Hill of New York. Yet,
despite some cumbersome details, it was
found superior to the old systen,-very
much so. and assured the perfect secrecy
of the ballot. One thing that hindered its
working perfectly was the failure to make
voting districts small enough. There
should not be more than 200 voters to a
district, but in Rhode Island some of the
districts had 2,090 voters, and as matter
of course some were unable to reach the
polls. The grouping of the candidates al
phabetically is mistake also. The better
plan is to have the official ballot show
each party ticket in separate list, with
the party vignette at the head, so that the
voter may not be confused or delayed.
These mistakes on the part of the Rhode
Island people do not affect the principle
involved nor constitute objections to the
reform, yet the enemies of the secret bal
lot have seized upon the defects of the
Rhode Island law as objections to the
s'booth" and ''official ballot" plan. Such
assaults are to be expected. The old-time
politicians, to whom the party ballot plan
has been SO long of service, will not yield
without struggle, and therefore all such
cases as that cited will be seized upon by
them with avidity to create antagonism to
the new system. The press correspond
ents all agree that with It's defects in full
view, the law worked remarkably well in
Rhode Island, and that to all unprejudiced
observers it was perfectly evident that
such friction as developed was due to the
causes we have pointed out, and not to any
inherent defects in the reform ballot
scheme.

Do you ask, 8 Where can do this and
have my money absolutely safe ?" Let
us give you some facts. The Lamoille
County Savings Bank and Trust Co. of
Hyde Park is an institution run on the
following principles =
LIST. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one of
the Board of Directors that the loan is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as home institution
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties. and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and encouraged in preference
to other investments, so far as it can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is a dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other out-of-the-State security. We
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by mourning a little additional
risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day "long felt
want" in Vermont for savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
situations. Vermont towns will not
boom without money any more than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and or
phans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neighbors
who prefer to occupy western fields we
offer to the depositing public the La
mobile County Savings Bank and Trust
Co. as an institution organized to meet
the demand for strictly home Investment
Savings Bank. That such a demand ex-
lists, and that the people are ready to be-
stow their confidence and encourage
ment upon such an insti utiOn, is evil
denced by the fact that the aggregate of
the small deposits alone in this bank
not counting any in excess of $1,000
were at the end of the first six months
of its business. S57, 1860, record
without parallel, we believe, in the
history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over 6per cent. 1t would
not. knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
money at per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six-tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
take to the depositors. 1t must then be
evident that per cent. per annum is all
that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi-annually if not
