understood that some effort is to be made
to have the river thrown back into the old
channel. although no formal SENS have
been taken in the matter because the
water will soon rise and it will not be
necessary until next spring. Just how
this can be done is puzzle to all steam
boat men. The cuts cannot be deepened
because they are already as deer as the
river, and the old channel has "siltrd UNI

now falls over three feet at Stockton, ana
at Twenty-One Mile Slough falls neariv
FIVE feet, The result IS that there Is
nearly three feet less water at low tide al
that point than there used to be at the
same stage of waller before the cuts were
made.
1.-THE water has often been lower than
it has been this year, and yet navigation
was never worse. All along tie river The
effect of the cuts can be seen, as land Is
uncovered at low tide that has never been
before. 10 some places whole acres are
mud flats that used TO be covered with
water at all times.
the result of this has caused steamboat
pilots trouble all during the summer, and
il rain don't come pretty soon, IL is my
opinion that navigation will have to stop
except for light-dTaught boats, In those
cuts there is not more than four feet of
water at low tide. which is not enough for
large steamers. In many sputs there is not
more than that at high tide, and the result
is that the steamers bend their rudders in
mud crawling aud have to stop 10 fix
them, which is q work of several hours
"Bv the time they have got things fixed
the tide has fallen and they cannot pro-
coed. but must wait until it rises.
Another difficulty caused bv the euts."

the uncovered land has put forth heavy

the most exact knowledge OF the channel

current in the cuts is like a millrace when

to swing from one side of the river to the
