Valley Lands and Flood Waters.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Is it not time
that the distressed condition of thousands
! of our people residing in the main val
! legs of our State, those of the Sacramento
and San Joaquin, should evoke some
practical sympathy from those that can
| feel for suffering humanity lit is no
use to appeal to others, and cause them,
wherever they may be, to aid all State
| legislation that would compel our entire
people to bear the burden of providing
sufficient channels to the sea for the rain
waters falling upon the lands of the State,
upon its mountains and upon it's valleys
| The channels were originally provided
! by nature in its river beds, but those
natural waterways have been clogged and
| filled up with debris thrown into them.
partly by the natural erosion, but very
much more by the action of hydraulic
monitors in washing down the higher
| lands onto the lower and into the rivers.
This has been done by permission of
the officials of our own State and of the
General Government in direct opposition
to that primary thought of the fathers of
our republic that no man within it should
use his property to destroy that of his
neighbor.
And what gain has the State or the
United States made in allowing this work
of destruction to go on? If in doing it
labor was employed very largely on the
| land or in the city workshops of our me-
chanics, there might perhaps be some eX-
cuse for washing down the mountains
| into the rivers, but water is the power
that does the work, and beyond the con-
| struction of fumes or bitches to direct
| the water to the monitors, little labor is
needed.
To those not familiar with the process a
glance at photographs covering the
ground when the monitor is in opera
| ton will give good notion as to how
much this work helps labor
| If our rivers were free from the debris
| thrown into them many thousands of
acres of land in the Sacramento and San
| Joaquin valleys now covered with water
could be seen, and their cultivation would
! find employment and profit for a hun
! dred times the number OF men that would
be employed by all the hydraulic mines
in the State if they were in full operation.
and instead of the dull times we have
had for some years past we would,
| through the cultivation of the now waste,
| overlooked lands, which are capable of
supporting half a million people, find
that this large army OF producers adjacent
to the city of Sacramento and the other
cities of the valleys would largely in
crease the trade of those cities and also of
San Francisco, the distributing point of
| the larger part of the imports and pro-
ducts OF the State.
Increase those products and we would
require more supplies and larger imports,
resulting in more business for our mer-
chants and larger employment OF our la
| borers, our mechanics and our house
| builders.
| ponds entirely on that of the interior, and
is increased in proportion as the number
of workers are increased in the interior of
| the State.

COWARDLY BUSINESS
Men Who Complain of Bad Characters
and Then Defend Them.

Men Who Complain of Bad Characters,
and Then Defend Them.
James X. and Ed Brady, arraigned in
the Police Court for battery yesterday
morning, had their case continued until
to-day by request of the prosecution.
Walter OFT was tried and found guilty
of petty larceny in having collected sum
of money upon the representation that it
was for his employer, John Klotz.
After collecting the money OFT started for
the north, but was arrested at Marysville
1t was developed at the trial yesterday
that friend of Otis had made good the
amount OF his embeZzlement, and there
was no inclination on the part of the
prosecuting witness to enforce punish
ment.
OFT was, however, found guilty and
fined $40.
William Hayes was tried for vagrancy
and acquitted. The arresting officer
complained that the very parties COM
planning against Hayes and his compan-
ions were the main witnesses for his de-
Tense. lie said that people urged the
arrest of troublesome characters and then
at the trial no one could be found who
would testify to what they claimed TO be
the facts before the arrest of the offenders
Such things go far to weaken
the resolution and efficiency of
the guardians of the peace, and
in many instances they are thus trifled
with by irresolute and vacillating citi-
zens who weaken as witnesses.

COUNTY ADVERTISING.
The Supervisors Decide on the Rate
to be Paid.
They Conclude that 1t is Not Thell
Province to Select Specific
County Organ.

The Supervisors yesterday took defin-
tie action in the matter of arranging
schedule of rates to be paid for county adj
vertising. When the matter was called
up the Printing Committee submitted the
following report:
Your committee, to whom was re-
ferred the several bids for doing the print
ing for the board beg leave to submit the
following: That, in their opinion, all
things considered, the bid of the Ecening
Nea0S is the lowest, when it is taken into
consideration that the NeaOS is a daily and
the other bids are from weekly papers.
Your committee further recommends
that all of said bids be rejected, and that
the board fix a rate that the board will
pay for doing all of the county printing,
delinquent tax list excepted"
Supervisor Jenkins stated that his rea-
son for signing the report was on account
of the wording of the road law, under
which the board was working, and which
provides that the law specifies that the
road advertising must be done in
weekly paper published in the county or
IN one published in the district where the
work is to be done.
The Chairman said he had had no con-
versation with the committee, but it
seemed to him that if the bids were all
reiected and a rate set NV tine hoard tba
papers would be able to say to the board:
Take your rate and advertise wherever
you can get it done"
Supervisor Jenkins said the hoard
had reserved the right to reject any or all
bids, and the report should be adopted
without more discussion.
j. B. Harris of the NelUS said the COM
mittee had declared his bid the lowest
and vet had recommended that all Kids
be rejected. This was not treating him
fairly,
Mr.. Sanborn of the Uouder tbonobt his
paper had presented the lowest hid Tho
weekly papers had been invited 10 hid
and he had done so in GOOD faith and
with the understanding that weekly
papers were to be considered on the same
plane as dailies. as the advertisiuor was
all weekly, and the JV0adey had both n
CITY and country circulation.
The resolution was adopted. Ayes

At yesterdays session of the Board of

that the boundary lines OF Sacramento and
1olo Counties be not changed until SUBJ

Dumped on the Cobbles.

Yesterday afternoon, as young man
was sitting in cart in front of the gro
Gerry at Third and L streets, the horse
suddenly wheeled around and threw him
out, his head striking the sharp end OF a
cobble in the street and making an ugly
cash. He was picked up and attention
given to his hurts, and was soon able to
walk away.
