RIvER-GAUGE SERVICE.

the Necessity Therefor

weather Observer Mclean Refers to
the Necessity Therefor.
John T. Mclean, Weather Observer at
Red Bluff. in a recently published circu-
lar, says, regarding the establishment OF
a river-gauge service:
The Observer, in his travels over the
contiguous watersheds of the Sacramento
Valley, noted the rapid detorestation TAX
ing place. This delorestation is annually
increasing in extent, thus adding to the
dangers of floods in the valley The
reclamation of wild lands by cultivation
brings to the waters millions of tons OF
solid matter held in suspense, and, when
the detritus from mining is added, it can
easily be seen that the bed of the river is
rapidly filling, and thus ominously less
enlng its tlood-carrying capacity.
The decreasing power of the water
shed to hold back the precipitation ill
creases the probabilities of disastrous
floods every year. By continued reck-
less and criminal deforestation of the val
ley slopes we are gradually bringing
about similar conditions to those which
now exist in nearly every Eastern river
system-increasing annual calamities by
floods.
1.-The laws of cause and effect cannot be
suspended for our special benefit. For
three years the Observer has been agitat-
ing this matter, and, as far as he can dis
cover, almost alone in his efforts; and, in
spite of some opposition and Il great deal
OF apathetic indifference, has kept before
the department the necessity for the es-
adjustment of a special river service"

VISITING "SHRINBRs. "
They Have a Glorious Time in Sacra-

They Have a Glorious Time in Sacra-
mento Oasis,
On Saturday evening last the Masonic
Temple was the scene of a most brillian,
gathering of representative members OF
the Mystic Snrine," on the occasion of a
special meeting in this city of Islam
Temple of San Francisco, for the purpose
of enjoying a fraternal reunion with the
Sacramento members of that distin-
guished organization; and for the further
purpose OF admitting a large number OF
applicants for initiation in the mysteries
OF its sacred rites.
In view of the Importance of the event.
elaborate preparations looking to the
comfort and pleasure of the visiting
''Shriners" were made, and every possl-
bic detail provided for. AS a result, the
ritualistic and symbolical work of the
order was performed upon a scale OF
nlagnificence which most truly exempIi-
ned the sentiment OF pleasure which
animated Its reception and rendition.
One hundred and seven members of
Islam Temple left San Francisco on a
special train of Pullman sleepers at 4
p. NJ. Saturday. The train was fully ac-
coutered with all necessary eating and
sleeping conveniences. Through the
courtesy OF General superintendent Fill
IL AiS1AOS1 Va lDt V, the
train was run on special time, and held
for the convenience of the visitors on
their return home yesterday.
on arrival In this city at $50 P, NJ. the
visitors were met at the depot Shy the
Sacramento members of the temple.
numbering over forty persons. headed
by the First Artillery Band, under whose
escort the visitors were shown to the Ma
sonic Temple. That stately editice was
ablaze with light, as if in anticipation of
the distinguished consideration ex-
tended.
The procession was remarkable for its
distinctive contrast with that OF other pub
lie gatherings, for the peculiarly striking
uniform OF the temple-consisting as il
does of full-dress suit, fez and jewel
really won the admiration of all OBJ
servers.
During the evening the Order of the
Mystic Shrine, including the initiatory
ceremonies, the FESTIVAL of the Prophet
Recitation of the Thirty Sections" Re
union of the Dervishes," and "Moolid
Nebi," were conferred in full form, with
all the Oriental splendor incident TO each,
and in due conformity with the sentiment
which says: Pleasure without intem-
perance, hospitality without rudeness,
and Jollity without coarseness."
Islam Temple numbers nearly 600
members, with a constant and largely in
creasing roll. Inasmuch as applicants
for admission must be members of either
the knights Templar or thirty-second
Scottish Rite degrees to become eligible
for admission to the Shrine, the personnel
and character of the Mobiles necessarily
represent the essence of the best element
of the Masonic fraternity.
The Shrine choir, consisting of Mobiles
Samuel ID. Mayer, Walter G. Campbell,
Jos. q. Dustin and VIM. A. Dumiell, rem
dered appropriate music during the
evening and in highly artistic manner.
After the ceremonies were concluded
