AFLOAT IN The FOREST.
A Days Experience of Some Boys Up
in the Overflow.
They Lose Themselves and Have Con-
siderable Trouble in Finding
the Way Home.

The mothers of three boy-soldiers of
the Boys Brigade Company wondered
long and somewhat anxiously at the nom
arrival of the three youngsters at home
in time for supper on Saturday evening.
The youngsters arrived about 10 o'clock,
and had a tale to tell.
1t seems that the commander of the
Boys Brigade forces, Major Hardy, has
been acting as a sort of swimming in
structor to some of the boys under his
charge, and on Saturday three of the
latter, together with the Major and his
brother, Lieutenant Dan Hardy, went up
the river in boat to enjoy their swim at
a point with which the boys are ac-
quainted.
After their bath they started out on a
tour of exploration through the trees in
the overflow between the Sacramento and
American Rivers. They went from point
to point without noting the time, until a
setting sun and premonitory symptoms
of starvation warned them that it was
time to start for home. 1t Immediately
transpired that they were in doubt about
the shortest route home, and no guide
was available.
After some rowing about and listening,
Twelfth street was located, and passage
for the boat found up to within a short
distance of that structure. Owing to the
lateness of the hour it was decided to
leave the boat there and go home afoot.
The procession, therefore, started inn
mediately, and on the Sacramento side of
the river found a new difficulty in the
shape of road flooded three feet deep
with water. The supper at home had
long since passed and the party was ac-
cordingly desperate.
Divesting themselves of their clothing
they waded in, and for the next half
mile there was no lack of variety about
the journey.
Barefooted, with bundles of fluttering
clothing and shoes, some of the contents
of which were occasionally dropped, the
party waded along over road, which
was partly lnud-hut not so much of it
as the boys would have hked-partly
brush or corduroy. and a good deal of
crushed rock with the points all directed
skyward. Part of the time the current
was so strong across the road that the
little fellows hung desperately on to the
arms of the two officers to keep from
being swept off their feet, and none of
the party were sorry when the levee was
reached.
Hastily attiring themselves in their
more or less damp clothing, the party
started in search of supper and home,
arriving about 10 o'clock.
The boys were ali right and ready for
other adventures yesterday morning, and
ready to sympathize with their two Off
GERS, who had to wade out the flooded
road again to take the boat home.

MORE LIEU LAND SUITS.
Ten New Petitions Filed for Writs of
Mandate.
Applicants for Lands Who Want Their
Filings Acted on Without
Further Delay.

A. B. Thompson has commenced suit
in the Superior Court against Theodore
Reichert, Surveyor General and ex officio
Register of the State Land Office.
The complaint recites that Reichert has
been for more than two years past the
duly elected, qualified and acting Sur
veyor- General and ex officio Register of
the Land Office of this State, and that the
petitioner has during the same time been
u citizen of San Francisco; that under the
provisions of Section "a of the Act of
Congress of March 3, 1891, the President
of the United States made the San Ber-
nardino Reservation on February %.
1898, whereupon the State of California
became entitled to select indemnity for
the unsurveyed school sections the six
teenth and thirty-siXth) within the
boundaries of the said reservation.
amounting to 25,C00 acres, under the
privileges conferred upon the state by
the several Acts of Congress of the
United States relating thereto. Further.
that on the 18th day of May, 1893, the
petitioner presented to and left with said
respondent al his Office in the City of
sacramento, for filing, petitioners ap-
plication TO purchase of the State, under
the provisions of Title of the Political
Code, land in lieu of section 10 in town.

dino meridian, lying within the limits of
said san Bernardino Reservation. to
wit: Section 26 in township 10 north,
range ii east, Mount Diablo base and
meridian. in Placer County, and rendered
to and left with said respondent at the
said time and place the fee of 50 as re-
quired by the provisions of Section 3574
of the Political Code.
Also, that at said time and place the re-
spondent refused to receive and file said
application, or to act thereon. or to re-
ceiye said fee, and still refuses without
any good reason; that the lieu lands Sc
lected by the petitioner are properly the
subject of the petitioners application.
and that there was not, and is not now,
any adverse application filed thereon.
1t further alleges that the lands de-
scribed as being within the boundaries of
said reservation are. as petitioner is in
formed and believes, rlghttully the basis
OF the petitioners application, and have
not been made the basis of any other ap-
plication.
Further, the petitioner has no plain,
speedy and adequate remedy in the
course of law.
Wherefore the petitioner prays that the
said respondent, as Surveyor-General
and ex officio Register of the State Land
Office, may be equired by a writ of man
date TO file said application and to act
thereon, or to show cause to the court. at
time and place 10 be specified in the
writ, why he has not done so, and for
such other relief as is proper, and that in
the meantime he desist from any other
acts in connection with the lands de-
scribed until the further order of this
court.

NOW Is THE TIME.
A Public-Spirited Citizens Appeal For
the Factory Tax.

A Public-Sp1rited Citizens Appeal For
the Factory Tax.
EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Less than nine
years ago-or in 1SS4-the city of Omaha,
Neb., was credited by the United States
census with a population of about $4,000.
At that time she had little or no manu-
factures, her merchants complained of
dull business, and everything was at a
StandStill. But a few of her wealthy
citizens, who had faith in the future of
Omaha, called public meeting for the
purpose of devising some way to advance
her interests.
From this meeting sprang others, and
1t was finally agreed to raise half a
million dollars to be offered as induce
ments to manufacturers to locate there.
The result was that the half million was
raised by a volunteer tax.
NO sooner was this done than factories
began TO be established. Two boot and
shoe factories from the State OF Maine
moved their plants there, and different
industries came from Massachusetts.
New York and other States until Omaha
became one OF the great manufacturing
centers OF the West. Her population be-
gan to increase. and to-day she has over
one hundred and fifty thousand souls
within her corporate limits, and is one of
the most thriving cities in the country.
Sacramento is in the position that
Omaha was in 1884, only with double the
population, many times her wealth and a
much better location. Sacramento has
prohted by Omaha's experience, and is
following her example by raising a popu-
lar tax OF quarter of I, million dollars to
be offered in cash bonuses to manu-
facturers to locate here.
The questions now before every prop
erty-owner and taxpayer of this city are,
DO they want Sacramento to he second
oinaha? DO they want to see this city
With population of seyenty-tiye to one
hundred thousand souls in the next five
years! DO they want Smokestacks pierre
ing the atmosphere to the right and left,
giving employment to thousands of our
people? If they do, they must come for
ward at once and sign for this half per
cent. tax.
No time should be lost in raising this
sum. The Southern Pacific Company
only awaits two-thirds of our peoples
signatures when they will afliX theirs to
this agreement. This will add thousands
to TINS laudable enterprise, and send this
city a-booming.
Never before were we in the position
we are to-day in the way of building up a
prosperous future, if our people will only
stand together. 1t is the chance of a CEN
Jury Win over 5OU new dwellings in the
course of construction, and with the great
water-power at Folsom nearing compile
ton-which will give us the cheapest mo-
tive power on the coast; a new railroad
bridge across the river to Washington: a
line modern hotel, second TO none on the
coast; clear water, and a new sewerage
system, and finally J and X streets mac
adamized-the stranger when he enters
sacramento will ask himself, Where am
l at?''
All that is lacking now is for every one
that has not signed this half per cent. tax
to come forward and sign it. Don't wait
for your neighDor. When he sees your
name on the list he will follow suit.

HE WAS DISCHARGED

George Mayberry Not Shown to Have
Cut Menke's Net.
In Justice Henry's court on Saturday
the case of George Mayberry was ex-
amined on charge of malicious mis-
chief in cutting net belonging to Charles
Menke on the 30th of April.
The parties are both fishermen. May
berry claimed that person named Rug
giles sold the net to him, and after he had
1t week took it away from him and sold
IL TO Menke. He claimed that he was
nshlng with other parties during the time
the net was supposed to be cut, and this
was partially substantiated by other wit
nesses.
Ruggles and his partner testified that
Mayberry told him, the day before the
net was found cut, that Menke had
fired" him and he was going to cut his
net.
Other parties testified to hearing May
berry make the same threat, but there
was no other evidence to prove that he
did the cutting. Justice Henry said that
as he had some doubt in the matter he
would discharge the prisoner, which he

Sea LIONS AND CARP.
The Former Soon to Disport in the
Oak Park Pond,
Where They VIII Dine on Carp, and
This May Prevent a Decrease
in Lowland Taxes.

Everybody knows there is a lake at
Oak Park, and of which great things have
been expected. Disciples of Isaak Wal
ton have been patiently waiting the time
when the fish which had been placed in
it would become so numerous that the
safety of those who visit the park for
amusement would demand that it should
be free-for-all fishing place, where the
lover of the rod could take his luncheon
and spend the day in silent enjoyment.
But very few, however, know the fact
that a lot of sea lions will during the next
few days be placed in the lake for the
amusement of visitors-a forerunner of
other novelties that will give the public a
place of resort that may some day rival
the old Woodward's Gardens. Before
long the shiny, 1.-THE bodies of the seals
will be seen gliding in and out of the
water there.
1t is also stated that as the sea lious are
enormous consumers of fish man will
be kept constantly employed in catching
carp out OF the river and the lakes in
this vicinity and turning them loose in
the lake for the sea lions to feed on. If
this be so, the visitors will be doubly
welcome to all.
Sfb<Ahl-No OF OAhSs
Comfy Assessor Irvine stated to REC
oRD-U MON reporter the other day that he
was almost daily in receipt of new items
about carp and their habits, and the pre-
sumption is that if the thing continues

fires before that of the County A ssessor.
The high water the past winter has COW

from one to many feet deep, and the in
dications ut present do not favor its early
temperance. Now is the time for as
sessing the land, and the owners very
naturally feel that if they must lose a
years crop it is a little hard to be assessed
heavily on land blessed with such unde-
sired water privileges.
Almost daily, therefore, some one
comes into the Assessors office to ask for
reduction in his assessment on account
of the water. A few days ago gentle
man whose land is situated on what is
known as 1.-The overflow" came in with
such a request.
WELL" said the Assessor, 81 know it
is rather hard, but you have some upland
which will furnish your stock with feed
at present, and when the water subsidies
you will have several hundred acres of
fine late, green feed for them, so you won't
lose much"
Green feed be hanged,u exclaimed the
farmer. THE confounded carp work on
the tender shoots at the edge of the water,
as it recedes, and pull them out by the
roots. Last year it was the same way,
and the field is as bare as your hand.
There is no feed left on it; the fish take it
all. and there is nothing left for the stock.
Il wish had the man who introduced
the miserable carp! I'd like to feed him
to them and give them variety of foodw

voracious carp, Mr.. Irvine says, have
been made to him by various parties
whose land has been overfiowed. 1t is TO
be regretted that the prolific carp could
not all be gathered into the lakes near
the city and ton or two of dynamite ex-
ploded among them. Their carcasses
would make good fertilizer for the land,
