Interest in the map centers in the
figures showing the depth of water in
the Sacramento River at low-water
stage. The survey (and map on fle)
cover the river from Sacramento to its
mouth and include Suisun Bay, Car
quinez Straits, San Pablo and San
Francisco Bays, and up the coast to a
point north of Bodega.
The surveys from which the map is
prepared were made by Fred d. Stu

many respects. but this fact does not
detract from the interest that attaches
to It in connection with the. natural
condition of the river forty-seven ysars
ago AT that time there was eighteen
feet of water at the Haycock Shoals Cat
low-water stagel, and in Steamboat
Slough there was from thirty-siN 10
sixty feet At the Newtown Shoals there
was from twelve to eighteen feet or
water The figures given in the map
represent fathoms, and to obtain the
depth III feet these must be multiplied
by six.
What is now known as Rio Vista was
then called Suisun City, though the
Susun of later years is many miles
west Of that point. Some CT Ire
smaller islands down the river are
omitted from the map. and those that
appear there are incorrectly camed.
What is called Sutter Island should be
Ryer, Schoolcraft should read Sutter.
Taylor Island is Grand Island, and the
large unnamed island east Of Bran
nan and Grand Islands is Tyler Island.
But. as already stated, these features
are only incidental 10 the main ore
the depth of water in the river-and
in this respect the map is regarded rs
correct 1t will be seen that there was
thirty feet of water opposite Sacra-
mento at the low-water period. rs
against eight or nine feet of late years.
At Courtland there was twenty-1our
feet-an abundance at all pon nts foc s.
sells of average draught.
1t may be said however, that the
State Board of Public Works has pre-
pared a map of the river covering the
same territory which gives the depth
of water in 1871, from measurements
made by Government engineers These
are printed on one side of the river,
and opposite them are the figures of
the latest measurements, made il 1898,
showing by ready comparison how the
river bed has been filled by debris from
hydraulic mines.
The figures for 1871 are about the
same as those appearing in the accom-
| panying map, showing that the river
had undergone no material change dur
ing the earlier placer mining period.

dawned for India and for religion, so
there now grows into strong light new
day for education wherein the individu
ality of the child is to be respected in
stead of crushed and forced and warped
as it was never intended to be.
Among children's rights, therefore. let
us who want to be in the van of prog
ress, reckon '-Child-Study' as it Is
called. How foolish the young farmer
who strives TO make his farm look just
like his neighbor's. If he graded down
the hill and plowed up that pasture, he
might secure some similarity of appear
ance, but he would destroy his own
farm in the process. The way to get
most out of his farm is to sliit his treat
ment to it's peculiarities, and those pc
culiarities cannot be learned over his
1eighbor's fence Behold the farm is
the child and it's needs must be SINH
lar. How natural is the question: What
will it become?" when a smiling infant
looks up in the face with all the beauty
and freshness of newblown rose. The
answer is not TO be found by pouring
knowledge in, but by drawing it out.
In other words, the new education-the
education that contains hope for the
race and joy for suffering, inundated
childhood-sits first at the feet of the
child and learns from it the needs that
II has. and then rises up to minister to
:he new individual that has been dis
covered. Just as a great teacher once
said. regarding Sabbath observances.
The Sabbath was made for man and
not man for the Sabbath" So says
the new revelation of our later day:
Education is TO be fitted TO the child
and not the child to education
The child has 81 right also to be we'll
born. To be weli-bred is mere surface
detail but TO be well-born affects every

Fin de Steele"

Last night, for the first time in the
history of its organization, the local po-
lice force blossomed out in theregulation
uniform prescribed by the city charter.
and the effect was commented on in all
parts of the city.
Each officer wore the regulation dou-
ble- breasted coat, with the star prom
inently displayed, and the new, tail
helmets We're a noticeable Improvement
over the old hit-or-miss style of head
gear.
Since his induction into office Chief
Dwyer has been working to get the men
properly uniformed, and that he has
been successful was shown by the pa
trolmen on the streets last night. He
has set his force an example by himself
donning the regulation uniform. which
is an innovation in this city. The Cap
tain. Sergeants and patrol drivers are
also resplendent in new uniforms.
Chief Dwyer has adopted a system
OF discipline with regard to answering
roll-calls and making reports which is
a vast Improvement over the old slip
shod style. and none realize. this more
than do the officers themselves.
