PROPOSED POCKET" RECLAMATION.
A Fertile Section That Should be
Reclaimed.
The Supervisors VIII be Asked To-
morrow to Form a New Dis
trict Down There.

Tomorrow the Supervisors will hear
arguments for and against the proposed
formation OF a new reclamation district
south of Oak Hall. The preliminary
steps have been taken to that end. but 1t
remains for the board to determine
whether or not the interests OF the ma
iority of the persons concerned would be
subserved by the creation of the proposed
new district.
The object in forming the district is to
overcome the objections that have been
successfully urged by the landowners
north of Oak Hall against the putting in
ola pumping plant at the lower end OF
the Pocket" to keep that locality free
from sipage and drainage waters and
render it fit for cultivation. The land
owners in the northern end of the dis
trict-which extends from this city TO
near Freeport-are satisfied with such
protection from water as is afforded by
the river levee, and have been stoutly
opposed to going to the expense OF a
pumping plant, hence the movement TO
divide the district.
The truth is, the interests of the two
localities appear to be such as to lead to
constantinharmony and conflict II the dis
u
end cannot certainly be reclaimed without
pumping the water into the river, and in
doing so there would be many acres in
the upper end also relieved OF water.
There are several thousand acres in the
"PockeL'' which can be reclaimed, made
as valuable as any bottom lands in the
county. but which for years past has
been simply wild waste of tule and of
no value TO any living creature but water-
fowl and few Portuguese market hunt
ers.
Relieved of the water that is drained
from the surrounding country both by
nature and the ingenuity of man, that
vast tract could be made to blossom as
the rose" and produce several crops each
year. Otherwise it must remain as il Is
or get worse as time goes by.
Many years ago, before the city drain
age canal was carried down through the
Pocket" the land there was often culti-
waited. What is now an unbroken ''sea"
OF tule has produced crops of corn, pota-
toes and other vegetables, and was once
considered very valuable land. A former
State official tried hard to get pos
session of it for some $50, 900, but the
various owners would not entertain his
proposition. Since then they have nearly
all been driven out by the drainage water
and the place long since became merely
swamp.
The proposed new district embraces
the land of James McNasser, Sacramento

George Peters, Joe fash, John Williams,

GOOD WORK OF THE RECORD-UNION
Its Carnival Edition is Appreciated at
Atlanta.
Observations of Sacramentan Who
Recently Attended the Ex-
position There.

A Sacramentan who visited the Atlanta
Exposition has this to say of the Record
Unions Electric Carnival edition, of
which many thousand copies were sent
10 Atlanta for distribution among the
visitors there:
Il want to say few words concerning
the good that Carnival Record Union
did for Sacramento and Central Califor-
MIA at Atlanta.
81 am sure no issue of any newspaper
ever accomplished SO much for this sec
ton. The state Board of Trade exh bit
at the Cotton States Exposition attracts
more attention than any other display
there in any OF the departments. 1t is a
revelation to thousands of people In a sec
ton where this state was, heretofore,
very little known. Everybody wanted
to know where the wonderful fruits were
grown and all about SO favored spot.
The Carnival Record-U Mon told them,
and it was gratifying TO see how copies Of
the paper were treasured and tuck ed
away for future reference
at told the visitors just what they
wanted TO know, and told it, too, without
exaggeration. l am sure that Sacra-
mento viii hear from that carnival edi-
ton. 1t has done great work for Cali
fornia OF practical valuable kind.
~ was impressed with the palpable
fact that California was sort OF terra
incognita to the people of the South, and
TO many OF them the designation North
ern,' as applied to this section. carried
with it suggestions of snow and ice, and
so on.
The State Board Of Trade Display and
the Record Union have done q great
deal toward dispelling this delusion.
1.-The advertising that The State, and
particularly Sacramento. have thus re-
ceived has been OF the most wholesome
and profitable kind.
81 think IL due to the enterprise of the
Record Mon to say this much.n

A WRECK NARROWLY -AVERFED.
Dastardly Attempt to Destroy Life and
Property.
The Would-Be Murderer Was Speedily
Captured and Confessed to Plot
ting the Crime.

A dastardly attempt was made to wreck
freight train No. 10. about quarter OF a
mile east of Cascade Station. on Saturday.
by spike. driven in between the ends OF
two rails.
When the train came along the engine
struck the spike breaking 1t in two, and
nearly derailing the train and hurting
it down the grade. The engineer threw
on the air brake and stopped the train,
when it was discovered what was the
matter. The cars were not derailed. but
the rails and engine were somewhat de-
moralized. The engineer and brakeman
saw man ran down the mountain just
after the accident, and notified the rail-
road employees at the next station, giving
q description of him, and telegraphing a
report to headquarters, whence instruc-
tiOns were sent out to the track walkers
and trainmen to look out for him.
Shortly after wards special train from
Truckee having on board Assistant Sup
erintendent Jones pulled into Cascade,
and Just before 1t left man was seen to
jump on the brakebeam, and Mr.. Jones,
10 whom il was reported, came to the
conclusion that it was the man that was
wanted. At Blue Canyon he was routed
out from his hidinR-place and taken to
the Superintendent car, where, finding
that there was strong case against him,
he confessed, stating that he was put OFT
of train No. 6, and wanted to get even.
One of the names he gave was George
auckland. He claims TO be Is years old,
and to live at No. ii Eaight street. San
Francisco. He was taken down TO Colfax
and put in charge of the Constable, to
whom he has told half a dozen different
stories.
The trainmen on No. 6. who, he claims,
put him off, do not remember seeing
him at all, but will have chance to
look at him In a day or so, and see if
they can identify him. He will be sent
to Auburn for trial. and as train wreck
ing is a crime punishable with death. his
confession places him in tight place.
