RIVER TRANSPORTATION.
An Advantage that Sacramento Has
Over Other Interior Points.
In a Position to Command the Trade
of the Chief River of the State
Its Present Volume.

Sacramento is not only the natural rail-
road center of the State, but also enjoys
the advantages of water communication
with San Francisco, Stockton (and inter
mediate points, and the various towns
along the Sacramento River as far north
as Red Bluff. In the earlier days, before
the development of the Southern Pacific
Company's splendid system of railroads,
the chief traffic of the State was carried
on by the river. Before the latter's ca
pacIty suffered injury from the extensive
hydraulic mining carried on along its
tributaries, even ocean vessels used to
discharge their cargoes at Sacramento,
but of late years only vessels of light
draught have engaged in the carrying
trade. Congress doubtless will, however,
atits present session, make liberal appro-
priations for the improvement of the
river, and the prospect is that in a few
years it will be restored to its original
condition.
THROUGH THE GRAIN BELT.
Steamboats, now ply between Sacra-
mento and McIntosh's Landing, which
latter point is go miles from the mouth
of the river, and some fifty miles south
do not find it profitable TO run.
Navigation is convenient over the
whole river in good stages Of water,
which as rule prevail from December
to July. The low stage is included be-
tween the months of July and Decem Der.
and during the interval navigation is al
ways less convenient and often much
embarrassed. During the period practica-
BILE draughts for vessels in the lower sixty
miles OF the river, or as far as the city of
Sacramento, is, in favorable years, five to
six feet.
ABOVE SACRAMENTO CITY.
Navigation above Sacramento is con-
Quoted by barges towed by light-draught
steamboats,. The distance from Sacra-
mento City to Colusa is 100 miles. and
taps the richest wheat-growing section of
the State. Over the stretch of river it is
generally practicable at low water 10
iloat barges drawing three and half to
four feet OF water. The latter draught is
sufficient for a cargo OF 200 tons carried
upon the largest type of barge in use.
Except in years of minimum rainfall, it
is quite practicable TO maintain depth
for barges drawing four feet. In years of
exceptionally low water depth may not
be fully maintained, but even then aid by
the snag boat will result in maintaining
close approximation thereto. Naviga-
tion with four feet draught over this part
OF the river will, it is thought, be satisfac-
tory to all interests concerned.
BUSINESS OF THE SACRAMENTO RIVER.
There are three transportation COM
pdnies engaged in the carrying trade on
the river, hence the shippers have the
beneht OF lively competition. The fol-
lowing statistics for 1857 will give lair
idea or the classes and amounts OF freight
carried.

of lumber of the proper quality. 1t has
peeh remarked by Eastern railroad me-
chamcs that there is in the Sacramento
shops no splicing of carsills, except in re-
pairs. The splendid forests of California,
Oregon and Washington can supply all
the longer passenger cars in the world
with solid sills for generations to come.
10 Master Car builder Ben WEIGH, who
has been in the company's employ since
It's organization, belongs the credit of de-
vlsing a tenoning and gaining machine
Tor preparing all heavy timbers for car
frames with great rapidity.
THE LoCK-woRKs
Constitute very important department.
They give employment to large force of
locksinlths, and the work they turn out
IS finished in the best possible manner.
The company makes all its own locks
another industry, the development of
which was made necessary here by the
States remoteness from the manufacture
ing centers of the East, where outside
factories make specialties of locks and
various other supplies needed by rail-
roads.

The capacity of the wheel-foundry is
500 wheels per day, but the average out
put is about I25. The maximum daily
melt of the cupola is 100 tons, while the
average is about co. The total output of
the shops last year is shown by the fol-
lowing figures, and will give a fair idea
OF the magnitude of their oDeratiOns:
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1892-05-21

These figures, of course, apply only to
manufactured supplies, and show moth
ing of the work done in other depart
ments. The shops do all the general re-
pairing and rebuilding of locomotives
and cars for the Pacific system, supply
ing new fire-boxes, boilers, etc., for the
engines.
The Southern Pacific Company has
now in use ON its Pacific system about
1000 passenger train ears, some SO Pull

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific improvement Company has "a.
Gently purchased twelve th0usand ceres Of
land in the heart OF Tehama County, :oy the
purpose OF promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This lanu embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land. 10
land Of fair average quality, and is offered az
nom $40 TO $50 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, 1870, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these Iauds are offered
are especially attractive. They VIII be SOLD in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
mont Ofinterest only Tor three years. at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal Jy Isyiug the 1Irst OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part OF the prin-
cipEl is TIC lie paid tor three years, ana then
the purchaser is to have 1--WE years ia which to
pay five equal annual ipstallments, with in
terest at the rate Of : per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period Of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
suIed that tnls IS an opportunity to purchase
leho OF lair average quality at $40 per acre,
ana good agricultural land at $50 All as-e,
with other grades Of land ut prices to CORE
sPoud between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that GOOD
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peeialiy adapted for fruit-growinE, cannot DO
had IN California for less th5n rom $50 to
FloO an acre. An examination Of the land
SUBJECT OF TINS advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land ut $40
an scre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terIns of
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers q result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object Of the purchase or this
body or land was the breaking up Of & large
holding for the purpose Of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion

The REPUBLICANS STIRRED Up
During The debate on the Chicago fair
bill in the House Of Representatives
yesterday Mr.. C. r. Breckenridge, OF
Arkansas, offered 81 amendment that
created stir on the republican side.
He wanted to provide that all exhibi-
tors sending goods from foreign coun-
tries should be permitted to mark their
exhibits with the selling price in the
country where they are produced and
with the price IN this country. The
effect of this would be 10 furnish On oh.

of goods of all sorts in the United
States, This amendment precipita;ed
a tariff discussion, but ii was finally
voted down by combination OF repub-
licans and & few democrats who are i'll

might make it Objectionable to the re-
