work lies, is larger than that. The peo-
pie of Sacramento have no idea OF the
difficulties of travel in these counties.
The worst road in Sacramento County
is better than the best road in Siskiyou
or Del Norte. In places. where the
stages and vehicles pass one another,
the passengers have to hold on TO the
stage with rope to keep it from going
over the grade. If a passenger wants
to find out how rough they are the top
of his head, where it has been bumped
against the top of the stage, will in
form him. In all this country the Epis-
copal Church is conspicuous by its alb
sence. In places, however, he had so
well succeeded that the people turn out
well and look eagerly for his monthly
coming. He gave an interesting ac-
count of the impression made by the
Prayer Book on man to whom he gave
it, and said he had been enabled to
give away number of them, and also
of the work done by a church woman,
who started Sunday-school in an iso-
lated community, many of her pupils
being Indian girls. In these out-of-the
way places, he said, there are many
men and women who will one day be
wealthy and educated, and if won now,
will become useful members of the
church and society, but if not, may
grow hostile to religion, or at least in
different. The people of the churches
do not realize the state Of affairs, or
they would work more earnestly in haf-
mony with the Bishop.

the failure of the missionary cause lies
with the clergy. 1t is not so. The
fault lies with the fatty. If the people
do not take any interest in missionary
work, they cannot expect it to prosper.
AS Mr.. George said, missionaries have
plenty of square miles; what they need
is more square meals. 1t is very diff
fcult-almost impossible, in fact-to do
much without money and if money is
needed the members of the church must
supply it. He wanted to see large
collection, and should make many sim
liar calls on his congregation during
the coming year.
The service was marked by the first
appearance of the new vested choir,
which rendered some magnificent music
in a manner that showed great pains
had been taken in it's training. 1t
proved very efficient aid to the beau
ty and attractiveness of the service, the
many voices blending in harmony that
swells and fills the church.

NEwToWN SHOALS.
Proposed Plan for the Jetty Sys-
tenn Down the River.

That the Department of Public Works
will soon begin operations for the re-
movaI of the Newtown Shoals, the
greatest impediment to navigation in
the Sacramento River, is an establish
ed fact, and advertisements for bids for
the construction of jetty system above
the shoals. intended to gather the water
into a compact volume and thereby in
crease its efficiency as a securing agent,
VIII be published in a few days
In view of the fact above stated. the
Record Union" through the courtesy
of Engineer Nurse, is enabled TO give 4
synopsis of the work it is proposed TO
do.
The location of the work is along the
easterly shore or left bank Of the Sacra-
mento River opposite Newtown Land
ing in Solano County, where a sanobar
about 5000 feet in length and extending
across the river, has become such an
obstacle and menace to navigation
that its removal has become necessary.
The proposed work will consist of jet
ties Of wingdams, to be thrown out
from the existing left bank of the river
across the Newtown Shoals to a pro-
jected new line Of bank. with mat
tresses of brushwood and fascines care
fully placed within jetties, and
loaded down with bags of sand as a
foundation to prevent scour. and with
permeable wire woven brush work.

HOSPITAL COMMITMENTS.
STEPS TAKEN TO COLLECT THE
COSTS THEREOF.
The State Lunacy Commi ssion Will
Insist on the Law Being
Enforced.

The new lunacy law made a. number
of radical changes in the old order OF
things, and the State Commission in
Lunacy, since it's administration began,
has demanded that the provisions of
the Act be fully complied with.
The Act of 1897 went into effect on
the 31st of March, or about two months
before the Lunacy Commission had ex-
istence, and during the interval COM
mitments and everything pertaining to
the care of the States insane were con-
Quoted under the old law Nearly 200
patients We're admitted into the sew
eral hospitals in the State under the
provisions of the old law, even after the
new one was in force
The new law provides that the ex-
pense of committing pay patients" or
those possessed of property, or whose
relatives can afford to pay, shall be
paid by them, but acting under the
provisions Of the old law the Superior
Judges, before whom the patients were
brought for commitment, merely
caused the commitments to issue, and
ordered the Sheriffs to deliver the pa
tients to the hospitals designated.

out their bills of cost, which. if proved
regular. were approved by the Board
of Examiners and paid by the Treas
urer on warrants drawn by the Con-
troller
Now the Sta'e Commission in Lunacy
is taking steps to have all bills so paid
collected from pay patients, or their
relatives, and returned to the State.
Secretary Carriere is busy sorting out
the names of the pay patients COM
mitted at the cost of the State, and
Controller Colgan is busy digging up
buried claims and noting the costs in
each, SO that the sums may be col
lected.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
Controller Colgan said that in his opin-
ion a Superior Judge ought to proceed
precisely as in civil cases-hold back
the coinmitn ent until the costs shall
have been forwarded.

The jetties will be constructed just
above the head of Wood Island oppo-
site Rio Vista, and in such a manner
as to confine the waters of the river to
the Rio Vista Channel
1t is thought at present that the wing
dams viii be four in number, with an
aggregate length Of about $500 feet,
but as the exact number and lengths
are subject to modification, the COM
mission Will not be bound by these fig
ures.
The dams will be constructed of piles
and brushwork, weighted with sand,
after being arranged in mattresses and
fascines and placed in position. The
piles used must be sound, straight pine,
not less than six inches in diameter, un-
der the bark of the small end, and must
be driven to a penetration of at least
twenty feet, when possible or as much
deeper if practicable, as may be re-
quired by the engineer in charge. They
viii be driven in two straight rows, five
feet apart, the piles to be eight feet
apart in the rows. 1t is thought that
piles thirty feet in length will fill the
requirements.
The brush used may be any that is
live and straight, though willow is pre-
ferred, and no piece must measure over
two inches in diameter at the butt. 1t
Will be made into fascines and packed
closely between the rows of piles, Each
fascine viii be about twenty feet long,
and one or one and one-half feet in
diameter, and viii be compressed at
intervals of three feet with a chain and
lever compressure, and while so COM
pressed will be bound with wire. These
fascines are to be laid side by side and
made into mats, and the brush filling
and mattresses will be weighted by
sand bags.
At the completion of the work the
piles will be cut off to a plane about
three feet above low water, or to such
hight as shall hereafter be determined.
Commissioner Leake specifies that
work must be commenced the present
season, and must be completed by Jan
uary l. 1898. He viii appoint an en-
gineer or inspector of the work who
viii see that all contracts are rigidly
complied with.
The approximate estimate made for
| material necessary for the completion
of the work is as follows: 1875 piles
(40.250 Hneal feeD, 700 wales Q6,S00
surface), 10000 old bags with sand
filing, 1900 cubic yards of brush mat
tresses and fascine work.
Following the construction of the jet
~ system will naturally come the
dredging of the shoals. and with the in
creased flow of water through the chan
mel, which will be superinduced by the
jetties, the engineers of the department
feel certain that the work will be done
with comparatively little difficulty, and
at nominal expenditure of labor

carrying water from the river finally
succeeded in extinguishing them.

GRAPES AND BEANS.
Belief That Neither Has Been Sc

There has been fear in some quar-
ters that the rain of Tuesday night
may have seriously injured the un-
picked grapes and the unthreshed beans
in this section.
Inquiry yesterday of persons from
the country did not verify these fears.
Fruit-growers were of the opinion that
with a drying wind or bright sunshine
the injury to the grapes would be
nominal, and it was also learned that
the beans would quickly dry out.
While there was no warm sunshine
yesterday, the air was dry and the
breeze crisp, so that the probability is
the damage to grapes and beans will
be too small to cut any figure

A Rorsethief Taken In.

Saturday night of last week Consta-
BILE D. NJ. Roberts, of Powell Valley,
Multnomah county, arrived at Wamic
in search of Alma Morris, wanted for
horse stealing. He secured the as.
sistance of Frank Woodcock and to-
gether they followed the young thief
oyer into Sherman county where he
was arrested and brought back to
Wamic. Morris showed no anxiety to
escape, consequently the constable al
lowed him considerable liberty, per-
mitting him to walk about town un-
guarded, and just before sundown Sun
day evening, while Mr.. Roberts was in
Woodcock's store, the thief disap-
peared. A search of the town failed
to locate Morris, so VIM. McAtee and
Lee Kennedy were put on his trail and
early next morning located him sleep
ing in Bonney's barn near the Tygh
bridge. Morris was again taken into
custody, and after placing neat pair
OF handouts On his wrists, Constable
Roberts started across the mountains
for Multnomah county with the cul-
prit Monday afternoon.

Both Gold and Fish.

Gold may not be, after all, the chief
wealth of the Yukon country. The
salmon has the curious faculty of
adapting itself to the size of the stream
it frequents. In the Sacramento river
its average is 16 pounds. In the Co.
lumbia it is 20 to % pounds-this year
about 25 pounds. In the Yukon the
salmon averages 40 pounds. Fish have
been taken weighing 12O pounds, while
the largest Columbia catch was a little
over 80 pounds. If salmon-catching
should prove practicable and profitable
on the great river of the north, the
wealth taken from its water might
easily exceed that washed out of its
sands. The Columbia river has yielded
some $4,000. 900 in fish products, and
it is doubtful wether the Upper Yukon
and its tributaries will ever produce
that amount in gold.-Oregonian.

a few moments the building collapsed.
The house was a heap of ruins before
Mr.. Lieblien reached it, and all the
contents a total loss. Their provis-

Another Crook County Tragedy.

a letter dated at Prineville, July 26,
states that news had just reached that
place of the fatal stabbing of Horace
Cadle, youngest son of Jack Cadle, of
Prinevllle, at a dance on Beaver creek
on the night of the oath. 1t appears
that Cadle was attending a dance at
the Beaver creek school house, and
got into a fight with stranger out
side the building. Cadle knocked his
antagonist down, when the latter
sprung to his feet, drew knife and
plunged it into Cables head. When
Cadle fell he struck against building
so that the knife was driven into the
brain. Cadle was a5out % years of
age, and had resided. at Prineville
some eight or ten years.
