BOY DROWNED.
The Little Son of Captain Thomas
Ryan Lost in the River.

The river has claimed another victim
in the twelVe-y year-old son of Captain
Thomas Ryan of the San Joaquin
Transportation Company, the pilot of
the steamer Red Bluff.
The case had not been reported to
the Coroner up to a late hour. The
boy went bathing in the river with
some companions at the foot of Y
street late in the afternoon. He walked
out on a sandbar and dropped off into
deep water and drowned before help
could reach him
Time and again have boys been
warned against venturing into the
river owing to the treacherous charac-
ter of the bed of the channel The
river bed is composed of sand and
debris, which cuts away with the ac-
ton of the current, leaving sharp banks
and deep holes. Once a person goes
off one of these steep banks it is next
to impossible for him to get out un-
less he is good swimmer.
The end of the sand bar on which
Captain Ryan's son ventured out was
submerged as most of them are except
at low water stage, and he went down
into deep water before he knew it.
The body had not been recovered at
last accounts

WEATHER REPORTS.
Barwick Tells Something About
the Temperature He Gives Us.

The Weather Bureau reports show
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been 100 and 64 de-
grees, with gentle to light northerly
winds and clear weather prevailing.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 1O4 and y
degrees, and one year ago to-day 81
and 50 degrees.
The average temperature was 81 de-
grees, and the normal II degrees, show
ing yesterday to have been eleven I'D
degrees warmer than usual for the
1Qth day of July.
Yesterday was another extremely dry
day, the percentage of moisture in the
air was 16 being the same as it was
on Friday at > p. m. The difference
between the wet and dry thermometer
was - degrees as against 80 degrees
on Friday. The sensible temperature
or that of the wet thermometer yester-
day at p. m. was 66 degrees as
against 63 degrees at the same hour
on Friday
The dry thermometer on Friday at ;
p. m stood at 93 degrees, while at D.
M. yesterday the dry thermometer
read 9S degrees. That is, the dry
temperature was ) degrees higher than
on FRIDAY at p. m., while the wet
thermometer was but } degrees higher
than the wet thermometer at D. m.
on Friday.
If the wind had been blowing from
the south with this high temperature
the people would have felt the heat
much more, because the percentage of
humidity in the air would have been
about double what it was yesterday:
that is it would have no doubt been
between 80 and 40 per cent. with a
southerly wind, as against 16 per cent.
with the northerly wind blowing. We
sometimes have hot spell with light
southerly winds and when they do oc
cur the heat is felt much more. and

by private endowment, is an llluS1f1ouS
instance Of far seeing public spirit, to be
perpetuated in a great and powerful in
stitution. The Cogswell, Lick and VIII
n1erding technical schools are destined
TO have great influence in raising the
standard of intelligence in the common
arts and industries Of life.
AT the period of the American con-
quest the organized form of religion
was in the hands of the Roman Catho-
lie Church. That ancient church pos
sessed the land, and did much TO cher
ish and sustain the religious sentiment
of a people widely scattered over vast
areas, or gathered in small communi-
ties here and there in valleys that af-
forded pasture, or near the sea, where
cove, inlet or bay gave protection to
ships that came for trade and barter
along the coast. AT present the Roman
Catholic Church is the largest religious
body, including about one-third Of the
population of the State, and having a
church property valued at about three
millions.
The rest of the population is divided
among the different sects Of Protestant
ism, and that large class who, without
special religious affinities have the
natural raorai and religious instincts of
humanity. Without going into any ex-
act definitions, or giving too much i'm
port2nce to statistics the church prop
erty il California may be valued at
about tNclve millions, and is taxed as
other property is taxed. This, as a
showing" of material facts, COM
pares fayorably considering pOpu'a-
tion ard peli d of ttlement, With oh o.

Concerning the spirit Of religion in
California, there is nothing peculiar, un-
less we take into consideration the con-
ditions of the early American occu-
patton of the country. Men We're at
tracted here by the presence of the
precious metals. That presence un-
steadies the mind and unsettles the
great ethic of property. AS a broad,
general fact, men are governed by their
| habits and not by their principles In
the face of this great moral fact. Cali
fornia society presents a most striking
instance of the superiority Of mans mo-
raj and religious sentiments, without a
parallel in the history of our own or
any other country. Far away, on a
lonely shore, to which men of all races
and tribes fled like birds of prey to
their quarry. there has been established
a State founded on justice, freedom and
truth.
The people of California are inclined
to attach less Importance to accurately
formulated religion, and trust more to
the great primary principles of man
hood honor justice and kindness. ac-
cording to common sense, right reason
and a simple faith.

The election of Public Administra-
tor to succeed the late w. B. Miller
was taken up, and several parties
were put in nomination, petitions being
read for A j. Rhoads and Benjamin
Bailey of this city, and j. M. Andrews
of Elk Grove. After they were read
Supervisor Dreman nominated A. j..
Rhoads'in brief speech.
Supervisor Morrison did not think it
was necessary to make any verbal
nominations, as the law required that
the vacancy should be filed on petit
ton. and after the petitions We're filed
ne thought members could vote for
any one they wished.
Supervisor Jenkins called Supervisor
Dreman to the chair and spoke in favor
Of j. n. Andrews, saying that he had
been resident of the State since 1919
and had always been a Republican
since he cast his first vote. Further
more, he was an honest man. The
country was entitled to something, as
all the county officers are filled by city
men. The city members of the Board
should concede share of the patron
age to the country. AS it is, the coun-
try delegates come to conventions and
see the offices go elsewhere and have to
swallow their medicine and go home
as satisfied as they came.
Supervisor Morrison nominated w. H
Sherburn, holding that after a petit
ton is filed anyone can be voted for
He had, he said, received favors in the
past from Mr.. Sherburn and did not
propose to be ungrateful for them. He
paid a high compliment to Mr.. Sher
burns integrity and ability.
Chairman Jenkins said he was not an
authority on law, but he doubted Sher-
burns right to the office, even if elect
ed. as he had failed to file a petition.
Supervisor Dreman also thought that
even if Mr.. Sherburn received the ma
jority of the votes. there would be no
legal election, he not having filed pc
tition
When the roll was called by the
Clerk, Rhoads received the votes Of
brennan, Mclaughlin and Curtis, while
Morrison voted for Sherburn and Jen-
kins for Andrews Rhoa3s was then
declared elected Public Administrator
for the unexpired term.

RELIGION AND EDUCATION.
California in the Front Rank in
These Matters.

Among the many excellent papers in
the souvenir book of the State Board of
Trade is the following, from the pen of
Rev. Horatio Stebbins:
1t has been said that wherever the
American people 60, establishing new
States or extending the empire of con-
stitut;onal freedom, their first care is
TO found the institutions of religion and
education. To this great historic fact,
California gives most substantial con-
frmation. The common school is in
every valley and on every mountain
side, an expression of the public opin-
ion of society; and private gifts for ed
ucation are distinguished 1t is believed
that according TO population and period
of political organization, no State in the
Union has richer public provision or
private endowments for education. The
University of California. established
thirty years ago, already has an honor
