time in 1878, found $4,000 cubic feet per
second passing by the town of Colusa.
and at knights Landing below only
q, 900 cubic feet per second. So we must
infer that the other 1900 went through
Butte slough and down the Sutter basin
to the mouth of Feather River and there
ioined the Sacramento. So to reclaim the
Sutter basin $4,000 cubic feet and what
may come in from the Colusa side must
be taken out about Gray's Bend. Then
the Butte slough can be closed and the
reclamation OF this great basin is easy of
accomplishment.
The Sacramento at those points is very
narrow and has number OF big bends,
and rectification would be very expen-
side, too much so to be practicable.
Now. let us consider the claims of the
American River basin for reclamation.
Another vast body of fertile land about
twenty three miles in length, and from q
thorough knowledge of this territory for
thirty-three years / can safely say that
the ex pense of reclamation will be light,
but there must be relief outlet provided.
Now, as the surveyors are In the field, as
Mr.. Rose inferred lately they are in the
Montezuma Hills, we will hope to get a
favorable report for the next Legislature,
so that the great work of this generation
may be inaugurated and consummated in
our DAY. Sacramento, situated in the
midst of this vast and productive terri
tory when reclaimed, can we'll afford TO
sell or give clear deed to the Stale Capt.
tai to San Jose, for she will have so much
business on her hands she will care very
little where the Capital goes.
The expense of past attempts at recla-
nation is beyond my power to estimate.
Nothing much to show for it but worth
less levee, and so 1t will be until it is
dealt with as a whole and governed as
whole by State Board of Public Works,
which should be maintained as a perma-
nent institution, whose jurisdiction
should only be limited by the State
boundaries, to have control and super
vision over all reclamation districts, no
matter in what county or counties.

EDS. RECORD-UNION: If it is not sac
rilege, will you permit me once more.
through your Every ybody's Column" to
question both the justice and wisdom OF
another city ordinance. This time it is the
sidewalk ordinance Permit me to re-
capitulate something of what has been
done.
Several years ago people began to 1eel
dissatisfied with plank sideNalks-fmy-
self among others. 1 owned a small
piece of property on ] street and 1 con-
sidered the idea of using concrete, or
cement, and whether it could be put down
cheaply. l had some doubts about
wooden supports, but decided that they
were no more likely to rot out than the
supports of lower floors in stores were,
which l knew lasted many years, and on
being assured that if they did rot they
could easily be replaced, put down the
first cement sidewalk in the business por-
ton off street.
w. P. Coleman put down the next,
and. as the saying is, regardless OF ex-
pense. Many have been put down since
some on timber and some on other sup
ports. The Breuners have fine one,
think, on the best of supports-brick
arches-but all of our business men have
not the means of w. p. Coleman or the
Breuners.
Now come the city authorities with an
ordinance that none but the best shall be
put down hereafter. What is the matter
with the cheaper supports? l believe
that more weight of freight has been
handled over mine-the first put down
than over any of the more expensive
ones; chiefly rice, which Is put up in fifty
pound packages, and which draymen toss
as baggagemen are accused of tossing
trunks. If any one doubts its competen-
cy to endure such pressure let him go
and look in front of l29 street.
have another Similar-6H X street, and
] will venture the prediction that those
who pass over it for the next twenty
years will neither care, nor have cause to
inquire, what its supports are.
And now, to show how this arbitrary
ordinance works, l know some parties
who have property on a business street
which viii require a new sidewalk soon,
and they say it will cost 81 900 to con-
struct il in accordance with the ordinance,
and they have not got the 81, 900 to pay
for it. They say if permitted to use rail
road iron and timber for supports they
could put in good sidewalk for much
less. These men are mechanics and give
more or less employment to others, but
they feel now that they would like to sell
out.
A few months ago considerable stir was
made by citizens who, undoubtedly, de-
sire the prosperity Of this city, about the
desirability of inducing manufacturers to
come here and establish business. Is
the treatment of those who are here a
sample of what would be meted to those
who should come?
Permit me to ask why these men, and
others, should not be allowed to use
cheaper materials in the construction OF
sidewalks as very many have done by
permission of the city officials?
Some old crank has been preaching,
through your paper, the desirability Of
doing away with all precedents, and o!
letting all transactions be conducted, OF
judged, on their own merits. Has he
converted the city so thoroughly that il

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Sutter County VIII Case Decided in
Favor Of Appellant.
A Laesen County Court Decision in a
Mortgage Foreclosure Case
Reversed.

The Supreme Court Commissioners
have delivered an opinion in the case OF
Ida Rhoton ct al. (minors) by r. Z. Rob
inson, guardian ad litem, respondents,
VS.. Ona Bievin, executrix, etc., appellant.
Sutter County case.
The suit is over the will of William
Blevin, deceased, which gave his estate
to his wife, Ona Blevin, distinctly stating
that in doing so he was moved by no want
of consideration for his children, but in the
belief that their interests would pe
better served thereby. 1t also states
that she helped to acquire the estate
and names her sole executor, without
bonds, with full power to dispose of it as
she wished. The respondents were
grandchildren of deceased and contended
that as only children were mentioned in
the will, they we're not cut of, it not be-
ing shown that they were Intentionally
omitted. The lower court gave judgment
in their favor. An appeal was taken and
the Supreme Cnurt decides that from the
wording Of the will the deceased intended
to include the grandchildren as well as
the children, and, therefore, reverses the
decision of the lower court and remands
the case for new trial.
SHASTA CASE,
It also reverses the judgment Of the
lower court in the case Of the Bank Of
Shasta VS.. James T. Boyd and Archibald
Boyd, defendants, and James T. Boyd,
appellant, Lassen County case.
The appellants borrowed $1,000 of the
bank and gave a mortgage as security.
The bank foreclosed the mortgage and
the appellants appealed from the judg-
ment. The complaint was not verified,
nor was the answer of defendant, James
Il. Boyd, which denied the allegations Of
the complaint, and claimed that action
was barred by Section 337 of the Civil
Code. The court decides against appel
liant on all the points presented by him
except the last, in which he claims that
the complaint specifies that the principal
and interest have not been paid. The
court held that as the complaint was not
verified, a general denial puts in issue
every material allegation of the COM
plant, and this is one. 1t. therefore, re-
mands the case for new trial.

Reclamation.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: Observer con-
cluded to go on a tour through South
eastern Sutter, partly on business, and to
see what I could see and hear what I
could. So started out from the town of
Nicolaus, crossed the Feather there, then
crossed the Marysville and Knights
Landing Railroad (which is first-class
road), and kept going west. The first
object that met my notice was the recla-
nation work of the Sutter County Land
Company, levee several miles in length
to keep the back waters off a body of land
comprising about 10000 acres of fertile
land; but the work was failure and it
had to be abandoned. Well, l can safely
say that there was sunk all of 100000,
and more likely $4,000 This land is
part of the Sutter Basin. Mistake No. l.
Next comes mistake No. 2. also a failure,
several miles in extent. Put them both
together and there must be $500, ,000 wasted
and nothing accomplished. So we passed
on, but turned our course slightly and
headed for the Sacramento River at
Kirkville. But, oh, what a vast body of
fertile land is there here laying practically
idle, extending from the Butte Mountains
south to the Feather River. No fences
obstruct your path.
No. 3 can be found on the Sacramento
and don't know how high the numbers
would run, but all of these failures put
together would amount TO 81, 800, 600, and
no land reclaimed: indeed it will be use
less to persist in these attempts until a
general system is adopted for the Sacra-
mento Valley. and the surplus waters of
the river is taken out at some point above
the Butte slough and carried in an inde-
pendent channel to the bay; then, so far
as my observation extends, the work of
reclamation will be certain, easy and
safe.
