Arrive Here.

The Congressional party that is in
vestigating the rivers of the State, con-
slsting of Senator'S Perkins and White
and Congressman Barham and Hilborn,
arrived in this city last evening on their
return from Redding and Red Bluff.
They went to Reddlng, in response to
the request of citizens there, to examine
into the amount of freight products that
could be sent from there by water if the
river were rendered navigable. and were
shown the magnitude of the mining and
other interests there.
They are ouIspoken, however, in their
opinion that it will be very difficult and
expensive to render the river navigable
between Red Bluff and Redding.
especially at Iron Canyon, where the
gorge at one place is only thirty -eigh.
teet wide.
They started in the SeZer from Te-
hama the day before yesterday and came
down 20 point about twenty-five miles
above Colusa, and tied up to the bank for
the night and yesterday morning came
on down the river, reaching Colusa about
l1:30 o'clock and passing knights Land
| ing at 4:30 o'clock.
On their way they examined the cOndi-
their confluence with the sacramento
and took note of the condition of their
beds and the surrounding country, as
| we'll as the changed appearance OF the
Sacramento below where they come into
it.
In speaking .of the change, Congress-
man Barham, who lived in that country
when a boy, became reminiscent and re-
called the fact that one of the first laws
signed by the first Governor OF Califor-
MIA declared the Bear River navigable as
far as the place ofhis father, John Barham,
three miles above its mouth. He had
seen, when boy, he said, the steamers
come up to his fathers place, while now
a rowb boat could scarcely get there in the
summer season. while magnificent farms
were covered many feet deep with sand
and gravel.
The party will leave here this morning
by train Tor Stockton where it will be
joined by Governor Budd, and will visit
the San Joaquin and NaEa Rivers, San
| Francisco Bay and its surroundings,
which will take them until the middle of
next week. They spoke OF the advan-
tage in getting information they had
gained in having the company of Major
Heuer, who has paid SO much attention
to the condition and possibilities OF the
river, and they leave it with clear un-
Outstanding of its condition and the
needs of the people who live along its
