Comment on Our Water.
From the Oakland Tribune. I


We notice by the Bee, RECORD UNION,
and DdityNelOS that Sacramento is about
to abandon the use of the filthy river
water for pure artesian, which is SEEM
ingly in abundance within easy reach.
Sacramento has suffered much on ac-
count of the source of her water supply.
We are glad to note that her citizens have
at last undertaken what should be the
first great desideratum of all muhicipali-
ties, supply of pure. wholesome water.
Such an undertaking will be a great
factor in perpetuating the Capital. Sac
ramento's water supply has no doubt had
great influence in dwarfing her pro-
gress and population. There is more
substance than satisfaction in draught
of Sacramento River water. The con-
Examinations are too filthy to mention.
We heartily congratulate the city on the
proposed change.

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
ative; 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
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man.

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
purpose 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 as
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, so, lao, 16o and 32o 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, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment OF
principal by paying the first OF I've equal an
nual installnents. 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 10

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.
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
peclally adapted for fruit-growing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 To
800 an acre. An examination OF the land
subject of this advertisement will prove 10
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase Of good agricultural land at $50
an acre. and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at so 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 lara

A Two-Man Circular Which Declares
That the Pure Water Pro-
moters Are Robbers.

Certain persons who for some reason
it would be charity to say through ignor-
ance, but this can hardly be the case
have been distributing an anonymous
and lying circular about the city in oppo-
sition to the pure water proposition. This
circular is tissue of fslsehoods, from be-
ginning to end.
1t alleges conspiracy, jobs, and so forth
on the part of those who are seeking to
lift Sacramento out OF the hole she has
been in all these years because of the pre-
Judice against her river water.
Now, If this circular means anything at
all-if it has any application whatever-it
IS direct attack upon the intelligence
and integrity of the members of the Citi-
zens' Water Committee, who spent so
many days and nights examining into
the matter in an earnest endeavor to do
something for the benefit of Sacramento
by way of overcoming the prejudice en-
tertalned against the city by the people
and press of the rest of the State.
VINO are these bold, bad men-these
boodlers who have entered into con-
splracy to defraud the people in the inter
est OF someone who wants to supply the
people of Sacramento with waterI

The Railroad Company Resumes Work
on Its Contract.
w. F. Knox, the well-known con-
tractor, yesterday started about fifty men
and teams at work on the levee which the
railroad company is constructing under
contract with the city.
When the high water came last winter
the work had progressed as far as Jib-
boom street, near the railroad yards, and
there had to be abandoned. Work has
been resumed at that point and a sub
stantial levee constructed around on B
street and then eastward for several
blocks.
Mr.. Knox, who is personally superin-
tending the work, says it will require all
the time between this and winter to COM
plete it. This, with the other levee work
to be done by the city, is expected to
settle for several years all question as to
the stability of the city levees.

Why Some Persons are Opposing I
New Water Plan.


New Water Plan.
A certain Front-street foundry has been
making thousands of dollars yearly out
of the city by patching up the old worn
out machinery at the Water Works. This
summer alone there has been upward OF
1000 expended in repairs, and the firm
referred to now has men at work on the
pumps.
This firm is fighting the proposed new
water system, and one doesn't have to be
able to look through a grindstone in
order to see the cause of their love for the
present dear" old pumps.
These gentlemen are firmly of the
opinion that our river water is all right,
and so 1t is-for their pockets.
Do the taxpayers propose to keep on
enriching these men, at their own ex-
pense, and to the extent of thousands Of
dollars year, when it can all be avoided?

PORTLAND, July 20.-Ycsterlay after
noon, IN the case of Hans Swendsen and
John Levers, complainants against Captain
Steelman and Mates Heed and White, of the
schooner Arnic and Milard, for alleged as
sault on them while the vessel was at Ice
boro, the sailors told the story of how they
were called to turn out, how they waited
for their coffee, and how the captain pulled
Levers on deck and the mates knocked
down Swendsen.
This morning, the hearing was resumed
before Commissioner Bradley, Mr.. Free
man representing the government, Mr.
Frank appearing for the sailors and Mr..
Bird for the captain and two mates.
At . 80 O'Clock Commits sioner Bradley
announced his decision, holding the captain
ami second mate for probable cause and or
dering them TO recognize in the sum of SW
each for trial at Bath in September, which
they promptly did. The first mate was di.
charged on the ground that he acted in self
defence.
Swendsen and Levers with two other
sailors were ordered TO recognize in the
sum of $500 each as witnesses. They had
not furnished securities at last accounts
and probably they will have to stay in Jail
until September.

IHE COTTON MILLS,


NEw YoRK, July 2o.-The Evening Pos
says: The effect of the proposed closing OF
the large Amoskesg cotton mill plant al
Manchester. n. H., during August, II Is as
serted is generally oyer-estimated. This ii
the view of many leading cotton mer,
chants of this city.
II Is regarded probable that many other
mills in New England, such as the Manehes.
ter mills, Pembroke. Webster and China
mills and York Manufacturing Co., Saco,
will shut down.
Nevertheless the situation is not con
sidered an alarming one by New York
merchants. One who combines cotton with
| banking trading said today:
The closing of the Amoskeag mills will
undoubtedly be followed by the closing OF
other large manufacturing concerns in New
England and perhaps New York. 1t will
be done as precautionary measure to pre-
vent the large accumulation of goods dur
ing the autumn.
There is already a large accumulation OF
ginghams which will be forced down in
price if the production is continued at the
present rate. A large proportion of these
are goods for the spring trade.
I'm view Of the present financial disas-
tiers, it can hardly be expected that the
country will have quite recovered from the
drain by spring, so the drain will then prob
ably be anything but brisk. In view of a
smaller demand. therefore, it Is but natural
that the mills should diminish the output
accordingly"
