ping it up the present hight of the water,
at least.
The Trustees decided to go up and ex-
anime the place, and did so. accompanied
by a RECoRD-UN UNION reporter. 1t was
found that strip OF the bank varying in
width from twenty to thirty feet, and
about five hundred feet long, had been
undermined by the action OF the current
and had caved down into the river.
The current from the American River
at high water shoots across the Sacra-
nenio to the Yolo shore, whence it is de-
1lected back to this side short distance
above the mill. When the American gets
low the current of the Sacramento forces
Its water down along this shore, and as

terlal for the levee. the water has new
channel there, and strikes against the
bank on this side. Its insidious action
has resulted in an almost perpendicular
bank, with thirteen feet of water close
to it.
a strip about twenty feet wide and
from 500 TO 600long thus fell in last winter
and now another one is gone. Ii another
strip OF the same width is allowed to
slough oft, the base of the levee will be
the bank of the river. Something must
be done Immediately to protect the
"berme' or bench outside the levee.
City Surveyor Boyd thinks the best
way will be to build training wall' a
little higher than the water to divert the
current in another direction, and then
rlprap the surface from the wall to the
top of the old ground. The new ground
on the levee can be protected by the pro-
posed mattress of brush until it becomes
solidly settled. 1t will need mattress
about 800 feet long. Mr.. Boyd does not
favor wing dam, as his experience con-
viDces hlm that in this river the cur
rent makes an eddy sooner or later at the
upper end, which cuts the bank out be-
hind the dam and leaves it isolated in the
river.
The Trustees have taken the matter
under consideration and Will act
promptly as soon as satisfied what is best
10 be done. Unless the current be soon
diverted it may endanger the upper end
OF the Pioneer Mill, but the owners think
there has been sufficient stones dumped
in there to render the building safe.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health Of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced IN the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.

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

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres of
land in the heart of Tehama County. for the
parpose Of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre, in subdivisions of
40, so, 12o, 160 and $50 acres
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years AZ which
time the purchaser can begin the payment of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum,
making payments extending over a period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre.

spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made thst GOOD
lands, suitable for general farming, and es.
pecially adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject OF this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is az opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at 81 0 an acre. on terms Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of land was the breaking up of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry

Alter on street with live chicken in

chicken, but to unlatch the back gate in
readiness for raid on the coop at night.
His hopes were doomed to disappoint-

SAVED AT LAST.

Fire Island, N. Y, November 29.-The

Captain Hathorn, which went ashore off
Smiths Point, opposite Bellport, l.. l.,
during Monday night, were taken off at
$50 o'clock this morning by the crew of
tie tug |. J. Merritt, of the Merritt
Wrecking Company.
The life-sayers on shore had remained
all night ready to render any assistance
in their power whenever opportunity
should serve, as did the men on the Mer-
rift, but it was not till daylight that any
thing could be done. Then, the wind
hoving shifted, besides going down, it
was found that the sea was considerably
less turbulent, and again boat was low
cred from the Merritt.
This time the rowers were able to
drive it to the wreck. 1t was not easy to
get at the shipwrecked people. and they
were so stiff that they could do little for
themselves, but the life-sayer were equal
to the task. They ciambered up the
ropes and bore the woman and her child
down in their arms, while the men were
able to get down themselves with little
help. Tho transfer to the Merritt was
made without mishap, and the last of the
shipwrecked sailors were aboard, safe
and sound, by o'clock.
A crowd had collected on the beach
opposite, and they cheered heartily as
they watched the rescue. The cabins of
the Merritt were turned into hospital
for the time, and the rescued party was
made as comfortable as possible under
the circumstances.
