RIVER NAVIGATION.
Red Bluff Wants the Benefit of Her

RED Rlnff Sentinel June Doth


Red Bluff Sentinel, June 2Othl
The action Of our Town Board of Trade
In relation to the navigation of the Sacra-
mento River to this point has already be-
gun to bear fruit. Major w. H. Heuer,
of the United States Engineer Corps,
came here last night and had conference
with our citizens on the subject, and this
morning at 4 o'clock he took skiff and
started for Mcintosh Landing, with a
view to examining the condition of the
river and acting accordingly. The con-
ference lasted from s O'Clock in the even
ing until 1890, and the whole matter was
thoroughly discussed.
We cannot now give in detail the con-
versation of the parties present, but the
result of it all is that the Government
will use some of the money appropriated
to remove instructions from the river
above Mcintosh Landing, and as fast as
possible until Red Bluff is reached.
Major Heuer said that the Government
would not spend money on the river, in
his judgment, unless when the river was
opened boats were put on and naviga-
| ton actually carried on. If the people
used the river it would be kept open. He
said: 1.-The result of the whole matter
simply stated is that it remains with the
people themselves whether they will
have navigation open and kept open to
Red Bluff
OF its advantages to our country too
much cannot be said, and upon this
| point we will have something to say
| later. But at this moment it is sufficient
| to say that it is our own fault that boats
are not running to Red Bluff now, for
until this movement was started we have
never opened our lips to demand any
improvement of the river. We have been
| in this matter, as we are in most others,
content to live as we have lived for the
last forty years, and do nothing TO de-
velop our region or to make it attractive
| to home seekers.
We now see what little effort will &C
complish when we go about it in the
right way, and it ought to stimulate us to
make efforts in other directions. The
opening of navigation upon the Sacra-
| mento River will not only cheaper
freights, which is very important mat
ter to us, but will induce settlements
along the river where none now exist.
Let our people stay with the move
ment and persist in their right to have
navigation restored, and we shall have
steamers at our wharf next year at least
and in due time we shall enjoy terminal
facilities such as are now accorded to
Marysville and other points where there
is competing water navigation. and the
development Of business and the settle
ment of the country will result in in
creasing railroad tonnage instead of
diminishing it.
