RIVER BULLETINS.
FOreCaster McAdie Seems to be Tn.
duly Excited.

In the printed weather bulletin and
maps sent out yesterday by Alexander
Meade, forecast officer at San Francis
co. appeared the following:
River reports from Sacramento,
Marysville and Redding indicate but
slow rise. Further reports will be re-
ceived and q special river bulletin issued
at 10 O'Clock if necessary"
The fun Of the thing is that the Sacra-
mento River reached its highest point,
less than twenty-five feet. on Monday,
and has been falling ever since The
hight Of the river excites no interest IN
the interior unless it reaches twenty
nine of thirty feet, and people up this
way only laugh at the idea of issuing a
special river bulletin at the present
low stage Of the stream and while it is
falling at that.
Mr.. McAdie's spy-glass must have a
drop Of water or something between it's
lenses

exhibited to c. w. Clarke and DR.. w.

time ago showed very clearly the need
OF better system of managing our pub

urgent desire of the people almost
everywhere for improved roads, ii is
certain the Legislature can do nothing

the people than to devise q good method
of making our highways better and

1t is calculated that the State is ey-
