PuLPITs AND PEws.
NJ. E, CHURCH,


The morning subject at the M. E.
church vas "Spotted Religion" Mr..
Wood began his discourse with the
statements that man is a religious be-
ing naturally and if he is not it is be-
cause of some injury committed by him
self. Pure religion is hard to attain.
There are spots on all chronicled re-
the Israelites. OF the Pharisees, as
godly a people as can be found in the new
testament, inasmuch as they were zeal
Gus and prayerful and dispensed wide
charities, Christ said that if the religion
of his followers was not better than the
Pharisees, they could not enter the
kingdom of Heaven. Spots were found
upon the seven churches, Ephesus,
Smyrna, Pergamos, etc., with the ex-
ception of Philadelphia, of which no
comment was made. The Christian re-
ligion was harder to live up to because it
was religion of being as well as doing.
All that is necessary to be a good Bud
dhist or Mohammehan was to comply
with certain forms and outward cere-
monies. Inc ChrlstIan precepts are be
ye good, ''be We pure "blessed are the
pure in heart" A Christian should
carry purity and Christian principle into
all the walks of life and into politics, as
well as anything else. Vote as you pray,
and let the spiritual obligation reach to
civil life. John Wanamaker and ]. D.
Rockefeller were quoted as examples of
devoted Christian men being successful
in business affairs. The attentioe of the
congregation was then directed to spots
that may possibly exist in their char
welcoming strangers, ETC., and urged a
prayerful consideration upon the points
noted. A spotted religion does not COM
mend itself to the world.

ramento We shall, indeed, be sur
prised If one of these hysterical sheets
does not announce that we are going
about in boats. It is the usual thing
for the sensational Bay press to give
us an annual flood in this city. In the
meanwhile how would it do for these
same sheets to inquire what it is that
is filling up the river more and more.
and sending the volume of its waters
out of the natural channels across coun-
try on the other side? Do they really
know anything about it, or care to?
Perhaps If they would inquire they
might discover that the fine matter,
which no dams will restrain, and that
comes over dams, or where there are
none flows bit more speedily to the
streams, is the stuff that is sitting up
the tributaries of the rivers, filing the
navigable channels, and surely and
steadily destroying the chief navigable
river of the State. The reason for this
1t might be profitable for the San Fran
cisco press to ascertain between breaths
when shouting for the rehabilitation of
hydraulic mining.

The Marysville Democrat" says that
Government ownership of the Central
Pacific Railroad would be death to
terminal points other than San Fran
cisco. Certainly it would The rea-
son is not difficult to perceive. Every
road but the Governments would at
once find it to it's advantage to recede
from the terminal point compact. The
Government line would not be given
an even share of transcontinental busi-
ness. This would either force the Gov
ernment to buy the other lines or go
out of business entirely. But this de-
struction of terminal or through priv
ileges is just what San Francisco thinks
she wants; hence these tears. She pro-
poses to be the only distributing point
in the State. But other coast cities
would have something to say about
that, and so it would follow that we
would have rival coast terminals to the
north and south of San Francisco that
would presently bring disaster upon her
trade and to her commerce. So in the
end California would be the sufferer at
all points. Our only safeguard and
equalizer would be removed. The soli-
tary Government road beginning in the
middle of the continent and ending in
California would not be liable to supply
the loss

WATERS RAGING AROUND Us.
But the Prospect is They Will Very Soon
SubSide.
There is Trouble. However. Down
Among the Islands Along the
Lower River.

The month of January, '96, is max
ing rainfall record for itself that will
not probably be eclipsed, if equaled,
for many years to come. 1t has done
little but rain for several weeks, with
now and then fair day or two, and
the result is that all the streams are
booming, low lands are inundated in
all directions in the Sacramento VAL
ley, and in the reclamation districts
near the mouth of the Sacramento
River some of the weaker levees have
melted away before the flood and
thousands of acres of land from which
it had been hoped the owners would
this year obtain crops are now under
water.
There has been no serious obstruction
to railroad travel, the Oregon trains
that several days ago resumed their
route by way of Marysville still going
and coming that way. Yesterday, how
ever, the Feather River was again ris-
ing, and it may be that high water
will compel the Oregon trains to again
shift over to the Davisville- willows
route for few days.
Last night the indications were for
clearing weather, and if the rain should
let up for a week or more the streams
north of Sacramento would all rapidly
recede from their present swollen con-
dition-
On the Northern Division there was
delay caused yesterday by the washing
out of the trestle over Cache Creek,
and in many low places the water was
asserting itself, and portions of the
track are under water. Some small
washouts have occurred on that divis-
ion, but they are quickly repaired. The
effects of Saturdays and Sundays
storms however, will be felt for day
OF two.
Rain fell heavily yesterday on the
Sierra Nevada along the line of the
Central Pacific Railroad, adding i'm
nense volumes of water to all the
mountain streams. which are now
booming down into the valley.
On the west side of the Sacramento
River, for many miles above and be-
low this city, the low lands are all
flooded, the result being a great inland
sea nine or ten miles wide and reaching
from near the mouth of the Feather
River down to the Montezuma Hills at
Suisun Bay This embraces the great
Yolo basin and other connecting ba-
sins north and south.
The water on the Yolo side is higher
than ever before known, and has en-
croached upon farming lands over in
the direction of Davisville that were
never before flooded. Tt is now possible
to travel by boat from Washington to
within few miles Of Woodland.
Reports from up north are to the
effect that the Sacramento River at
Red Bluff was expected to overflow its
banks to-day. and reports Of serious
and damaging foundations come from
Colusa and other places along the river
Yesterday the town of Nicolaus, SUIT
ter County, on the Feather River, was
several feet under water, but it was
falling at last ACCOUNTS.
Considerable livestock, fences, etc.
have been carried away, and altogether
the residents and ranchers along the
Feather River have suffered no little
loss of property.

DOWN THE RIVER.
Ryer Island and Lower Andrus Island
IleYees Give WAY.

Ryer Island and Lower Andrus Island
Leyees Give Way.
All the great volume of water that
comes down the Feather, Yuba, Amer
lean and Sacramento Rivers and Putah
and Cache Creeks finds its way to the
delta at the southern end of this
county, where swamp land reclamation
has been carried on for many years.
There these waters are met and backed
UP by the Costumes, Mokelumne and
San Joaquin freshets, and the wonder
is that human skill has been equal to
the task of saving any of the islands
down that way from inundation at
such trying time as the present.
The fact is, however, that with TWEEN
ty-six feet of water in the river at this
point to be hurled against the front
levees, and the immense volumes from
other sources to attack the back levees
of the islands, there has been but COM
paratively little damage done. True,
some men will be heavy losers by breaks
that occurred yesterday, but the larger
and older reclamation districts are not
likely to suffer
Word was received yesterday that the
back levee on Ryer Island, west of
Grand Island (and in Solano County,,
had broken, and 1900 acres of culti-
waited land flooded. This is hard luck
for young Mr. Ryer, who had expended
large sum of money toward reclaim
ing that fertile island.
The Egbert District, southwest of and
The record-union., 1896-01-28

adjoining Ryer Island, is also under
water It contains 5000 acres of land
that was thought to be safe. The trou-
BILE came from the heavy freshet sent
down by Cache Creek, which on meet
ing the high water in Old River backed
up and overtopped the levees.
Walnut Grove reported yesterday
that Brannan Island and the lower end
of Andrus Island were seriously threat
ened by the rising waters. There is a
low place in the levee on lower Andrus
Island, at the Hensley place, and the
people were at work yesterday
strengthening it with sacks of earth.
It is the spot that Mrs. Hensley last
year threatened to enjoin the Trustees
Of Reclamation District No. 500 from
improving.
The mammoth dredger Golden Gate
will probably be put at work strength
ening this spot, and it is thought that
the water can be kept out.
There was report that the water had
nearly overtopped the levee on Tyler
Island, and would probably do so If the
river should rise any to-day.
A Record Union" reporter last night
saw Major w. A. Gett, the attorney
for several of the reclamation districts
down the river, and asked him what
was their condition as regards their
ability to Withstand food waters.
You can say" said the Major, that
District No. 3, Grand Island. is re
ported as solid as a rock. The land>
owners on that island have spared no
expense to make their levees first-class,
and they would be out Of water if the
whole country up this way were COW
cred.
''The Pearson District, No. 551, is inn
pregnable, and that is all that is neces-
sary to say.
'Sutter Island, Merritt Island, and
the two upper districts on Andrus
Island are also solid, and there is no
fear for them whatever"

RAINFALL RECORDS.
What the Weather Bureau Records in
This City Show to Date.


The rainfall so far this month.
says Observer Barwick of the local
Weather Bureau, amounts to 9.60
inches, while the average of forty-five
years is 1856 inches for January. In
fact, this is the greatest rainfall for
this month, save one, that has occurred
since observations began in September,
1S49
The greatest was in January, 1862,
when 1904 inches was measured. This
month so far gives 9.66 inches, and jan
uary, 1878. gave 926 inches, these being
the three wettest January months on
record.
The river gauge at p. m. yesterday
showed 26 feet, rise Of four inches
in about twenty-four hours. The rise
will not be rapid, because there are so
many breaks in the levees between here
and Red Bluff.
The American River is what keeps the
Sacramento so high, as it runs more
rapidly and remains within it's banks.
The rainfall for this season is 14.15
inches, as against 1870 inches to an
equal date last year.
The highest point the river reached in
January. 1895, was 26 feet inches, on
the 9th.
The warm wave covering the northern
and central portions of this State has
extended into the higher mountain re-
gions and caused the precipitation to
come in the form of rain, instead of
snow, which has rapidly melted the old
snow in the ravines and canyons of the
mountains and brought it down with
rush, thereby crowding the capacity of
the Sacramento River to carry off the
extra amount.
A few clear days and settled weather
will no doubt see the stream fall quite
rapidly, as there will be little, if any,
water to come from the mountains
caused by melting snow, etc.
IN THE CITY.
The heavy and almost incessant rain
fall has been more than our so-caIled
sewer system can handle, and the re-
suit is that in some parts of the city
the water stands over street crossings
and sidewalks.
This is the case in the northern part
of the city, and also in the southeast
ern corner, and the surplus water has
also invaded many Easements.
Burns Slough, which was very much
in evidence in the old flood times OF
1S61-62, is again on the rampage
Yesterday it spread out over the low
ground in and about East Park form
ing quite a lake.
If no rain should fall for a few days
much of this surplus water will run

AS evidence of the closeness with
which telesraphic news is kept to date
under the service that is employed by
the Record Union" our readers will
notice that the dispatches from Ber-
lin and from Washington announcing
the death OF American ambassador
Runyon at Berlin on Monday at a. m.
were printed in this paper the same
morning. OF course there is gain in
the difference Of time, but nevertheless
the incident serves to show the prompt

That sensational story about Japan
ese competition with American manu-
features had one item something like
this: Japan is prepared to make bicy-
cles and deliver them in San Francisco
at $12. The facts have now been ascer-
tanned. First, Japan is farther from
the rubber supply than our Atlantic
Coast, and she does not make rubber
tires. She has one small bicycle fac
tory, and that imports spolxes tires and
frames from the United States. Lastly,
when the bicycles are made the manu-
features find they are compelled to sell
them in Japan as high as $56.
