problems over originated in the state
of California is now under. coDsidera-
ton by the California Debris Commits
sion. 1t is nothing less than the de
version of the entire flow of the Yuba
river. The project involves the outlay
of upwards OF million dollars. It
calls for the condemnation of many
thousands of acres of land and the con-
struetion of many miles of main canal
and levees.

williams claims the Mexicans fred
