Eject of Lime on the System

A medical scientist is authority for
the statement that children and old
people especially suffer from lack
of lime in the system. Persons who
habitually drink soft water, while
they may enjoy immunity from GER
tain of the ills of life, expose them
selves to others perhaps quite as much
to be avoided. Hard water helps the
teeth and the bones by furnishing
lime, which is Necessary to health,
growth and development. Old persons
who drink Sut little lose their teeth
more quickly than those who take
reasonable amount of drinking water.
Lime, or food products in which it
abounds, should be part of the regu-
lar supply furnished to the system.
One of the most valuable vegetables
for this purpose is the yellow turnip
or rutabaga, which should be given to
growing children at least once week.
Properly prepared, it is very relish
able and it's food value has never been
approximately. Y. Ledger.

A TORRENT OF ORATORY.
Republicans and Fusionists Will
Hold Meetings Tonight.

There will be all kinds Of political
oratory in the air tonight. Both the
Republicans and fusionists will holC
meetings in this city, and only the
width of Sixth street will intervene be-
tweeni them.
AT the Old Pavilion, at Sixth and M
streets, ex-State Senator Frank Nc
Gowan and Hon. A P. Van Duzer will
eXpound Republican principles, while
across the street, in Armory Hall, w
II. Afford, Chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, will tell his
political frientls why they should vote
the ticket headed by Mcguire. Others
will also speak.
If the speakers would swap jobs, as
it were-the Republicans address the
assembled Democrats, Populists and
silver advocates, and the Democratic
speakers cross the street and talk to
the Republicans, possibly each might
win over Some voters from the opposite
party, but this will not be done.
All the speakers announced are men
known to be eloquent and earnest
workers in their respective political
fields, and each should be accorded a
warns welcome. 1t will be- the opening
meeting of the campaign for each
party, so far as this city is concerned,
and as the speaking will be in COM

the meetings should not be we'll at

YOUNG GOES FREE.
The Jury Finally Found in His
Favor.

The trial of Minotte Young for as
sault to murder A. J. West was con-
cluded yesterday before Judge Gaddis
of Yolo, sitting in Judge Hart's court,
and after being out about three hours
the jury returned verdict of not
guilty. Young was defended by J. c.
March,
There was no question as to the facts
Immediately attending the assault
Young walked up to West with pistol
in each hand and deliberately shot him
The bullet passed through Vests arm
and entered his side, where it struck
a rib and was prevented from going
through the body. One witness testi-
fed that Young remarked, as he turned
away, We'll, I've fixed him this time,
or words to that effect.
1t was shown, however, that both
men had been drinking for several days
and had frequently Quarreled; that on
the day of the shooting West went
after Young several times seeking a
fight, and that they had applied the
foulest Of abuse to one another For
this reason the jury probably concluded
that West was far from being blame
less for what followed.
Young will need to exercise the ut
most watchfulness over himself if he is
to keep out of trouble in the future.
He is the unfortunate victim of a most
ungovernable temper, which has sew
eral times led him to- the commission of
acts Of violence, one of which was an
assault a few years ago on Jacob
Gebert, when he bit Off one Of his VIC

the Public Works Department, with a
view to removing the shoals. nor the
general condition Of the shoals, or the
position and depth of the material COM
posing them.
George n. Randle, one of the en-
gineers Of the Public Works Depart
ment, furnished the accompanying
drawings Of the river and of the shoals
at Newtown, and he, together with
Engineer NJ. A. Nurse, compiled the
following brief synopsis Of the work
done, and data covering the work of
the department, for the Record
Union:
Just below the confluence of the
three rivers known as Old Sacra-
mento River, Steamboat and Cache
Sloughs, as shown by the accompany
ing sketch of Sacramento River near
Rio Vista, the waters merge into a con-
tracted channel of great depth, which
gradually widens to an expanse of
nearly 5000 feet in width and greatly
reduced depth. To the fact of this un-
usual width is probably due the forna-
ton of a great sand bar, locally known
as the Newtown Shoals, whose existence

Notwithstanding the many surveys
and recommendations since made un-
der direction of the State, no definite
plan has ever been submitted and ap-
proved by proper governmental author
ity until the one recently submitted
and now under process of construction.
Though public discussion of the
shoals has been frequent, and contour
surveys have heretofore been carefully
made and compiled, no definite deter
mination Of the character Of the ma
terial forming the bar was known until,
under the direction Of the present Com
missioner of Public Works, a series Of
wells at short and irregular distances

tions "A and b. were bored on five

as a menace to navigation and
hindrance to flood-water escape has
been known from earliest official OBJ
servation and survey of the river.
These shoals, extending across the
river Of slightly varying depth through
out a width Of nearly 5000 feet, rise
like a dam whose crest is but six or
seven feet above the low tide of Sui
sun Bay, and fully twenty-five feet
above the bottom of the river in the

from which the accompanying sketch
was taken.
THE vertical parallel lines numbered
1, 2, 3, etc, as shown in the cut, rep
resent the position Of the wells, or
borings, on the cross s-section, and also
the depth to which they were sunk
The wells were bored by means of first
sinking an iron tube to the required
depth, and the material raised from
the inside of the tube.
From an observation Of the cross
sectionss as indicated in the cut, it can
be plainly seen that there is nothing
but sand for the current to remove,
instead Of clay and hardpan, as a
great many persons, including some Of
those who reside in the vicinity of Rio
Vista, believed before the borings were
made.
1T may be clearly seen that silt. sand
and gravel Of variable depth everything
a substratum Of clay that rises in some
places TO within eighteen feet Of the
low-tide elevation in Suisun Bay con-
stitute the barrier known as the New
town Shoals.
From the material, too as shown by
the sketch delineating character and
bly, shown by the labeled samples now
on file in the Commissioners office, it
was conclusfvely shown that a. consid-
cradle depth and portion of the shoals
could be removed in short time by
the increased securing force Of the con-
centrated volume of water that would
be occasioned by the construction of
a thorough jetty system from selected
points on the left bank and extending
outward from 500 feet to 1,20O feet
into the shallow river bed so as to
concentrate the flow to effective limits.
After review Of the situation dis
closed by compilation of data collected
by careful surveys and observations,
a jetty system believed to be effective
in removal Of the shoals for improve
ment of navigation and affording bet
ter flood-water escape was devised and
submitted to the United States River
Board Of Engineers, who recommended
that permission be granted by the Sec
retary Of War for the construction of
the same.
These are now1 under process Of con-
struction, and consist of flve wing dams
formed by parallel rows of piles filled
| between with wire-bound fascines
| weighted to place with rock after wire
woven mattress foundation has been
securely placed above and below the

These wing dams are represented by

Character Of the Work Going on

channel, thereby giving it more velocity

early date, has felt its injurious prom
inence to such an extent that public
attention was called to the necessity
of remedy by Governor Bigler in his
annual message to the Senate and AS
sembly on January 4, 1854, where ref
erence is made to the fact that the
expenditure of comparatively small
sum in improving the slough and re-
moving the bar in the Sacramento
River at the mouth of Cache Creek
Cache Slough), and in making the
channel of the San Joaquin River more
direct for about thirty miles, would
render the navigation of these rivers
safe and easy at all seasons of the
year for steamers of the largest

THUS it will be seen that the New
town Shoals were generally known as
a menace to navigation prior to the
damaging influence since added by hy-

ton for their removal was given off,
