cedes in hight, and farmers Will not be
able to haul their grain in wagons over
or across the inundated area.
The people interested in having the
levees and banks protected at Govern
ment expense claim or assert that if
this be not done the river will-or
rather may-leave its bed and seek an
other route to the Sacramento River;
that it may be years in cutting another
bed or channel suitable for navigation,
which will deprive them for the time
being of shipping facilities.
These views appear to us somewhat
extravagant. The danger of the river
leaving it's bed for another not formed
is very remote. We can, however, state
that we believe it would be cheaper to
protect the bank now at this threatened
locality than to have to close ere
vase afterward in case it became nee
essary in the interests of navigation.
The disadvantage is that if we now
commence to build and repair levees
and protect banks against erosion,
there will be apparently no end to the
expense and work in which the Gov
eminent will be involved.
Crevasses in this river are common.
In 1892 one occurred two miles below
Nicolaus. 1t was examined and re-
ported upon and a suggestion made
that the people interested build a new
levee on different line. This advice
was followed, a new levee was built,
and no further trouble has occurred at
that locality. Since then another Gre
vase occurred at the upper end of
the town or village Of Nicolaus, which
was closed by parties interested before
another flood occurred there. In fact,
crevasse is liable to occur during
hoods In any part of the leveed river.
IT the bank be protected at the present
threatened locality, it is possible-even
probable-that the levee will break
elsewhere; and in view of the small
Government interests involved we do
not feel warranted in recommending the
expenditure of Government funds for
this purpose at the present time.
The town Of Nicolaus has a popula-
ton of probably $50 persons The
country in the immediate vicinity is
rich in agricultural lands. The country
to the southwark of Nicolaus and i'm
med1ately eastward Of the Sacramento
and Feather Rivers is known as the
American basin, and has some eighty
square miles, more or less, of tule lands
subject to inundation at any overflow of
the American River, and practically
worthless during many months of the
year for other than pasture purposes.
In none of the previous crevasses
winch have frequently occurred on both
the Sacramento and Feather Rivers has
either river ever left it's bed, but the
people interested in the protection of
their private property against further
loss have clamored FOR and some time
obtained Government aid in closing said
breaks. Respectfully submitted,
