THE CHANNEL CHANGED.
Current Of the Sacramento Now on
the Yolo Side.

Not within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant has the condition of the
Sacramento River above the railroad
bridge been as it now is.
For many years past the channel of
the river has been on the Sacramento
side and for that reason, when the new
bridge was built the draw was placed
nearer to this side of the river than
to the other A sand bar has here
tofore formed below the mouth of the
American River and above the Pioneer
Mill, while at the mill there was al
ways enough water to permit the acces 8
of boats and barges to it all summer
long, while across the river and a lit
tie below wide sand bar shot out in
front of the ways in the shipyard.
Last winters freshet in the American
River has changed the conditions,
When the rise took place the Ameri-
can was much higher than the Sacra-
mento and the rushing current of
turgid water swept clear across the
Sacramento to the opposite bank,
striking it above the point The huge
logs that came down on the swollen
tide were carried clear across and the
erosion of the water deepened the
channel and detected the current that
before had turned back to this side.
This is why the channel is on the
Yolo side and a sand bank is on this
side, extending practically from the old
mouth of the American River clear
down to the bridge, shutting the mill
out, for the past six weeks or more.

NO CONTRACT LET YET.
A SENSATIONAL STORY OF THE
GOVERNORS RESIDENCE.
Plans Were Adopted by Capitol
Commissioners and Bids Or
dered Advertised For.

Yesterday morning an article ap-
peared in the Cali to the effect thai
Governor Gage had involved himself
in a dilemma that was liable to cost
him something in the shape of dam
ages by taking action in regard to the
building of the Governors residence
without consulting his colleagues on
the Capitol Commission.
The article stated that the Governor
had concluded, during the absence of
Attorney General Ford and Secretary
of State Curry, the other members of
the commission, to go ahead with the
work of erecting a residence for him
self at the States expense; that plans
and specifications had been prepared
and accepted to his satisfaction, and
contracts for stone, lumber, ornamental
work and all kinds of material were let
the other two Commissioners being
either ignorant of what was being done,
or else that their opinions had little
weight.
1t further states that the first obsta-
Gle was encountered when the con-
tractor presented to the Controller a
claim for the first payment on the
work, and that Controller Colgan re-
fused to draw his warrant for the
amount on the ground that the letting
of the contracts did not seem to him to
be in conformity with the law and that
when the matter was referred to the
Attorney General, Deputy Attorney
General Abbott gave an opinion, which
was concurred in by Attorney General
Ford, to the effect that the contracts
were not properly made, and that bids
should have been properly. advertised
for
Secretary of State Curry, and Sec
retary Kevane of the State Board of
Examiners, say that the story is not
true. They state that at a full meet
ing of the Board of Examiners last
week the plans for the building were
adopted unanimously and bids were or
dered to be advertised for by the Sec
retary of the board.
The contract has not been let, nor
will it be until the bids have been re-
ceived and they do not know of any
one who has asked for the Attorney
Generals opinion. Controller Colgan
has not been asked for any warrant by
a contractor. as no contract has been

Eight Innings.

Jay Hughes, Our JAY" may have a
bad arm, but if SO it is a good thing to
have in a baseball contest. Jay him
self is about the only man who is wor-

days ago he wrote to friend in this
city that he feared his pitching was
over for the season, yet on Wednes-
day he went into the box and for
eight innings shut the Cleveland Wan
dererS out.
At the end of the eighth, not desir-

favor of Donovan, off whom the Cleve-
lands secured two runs. 1t looks as

JUDGE BROWN QUITS.
Formally Withdraws From the
Race For Lieut.. Governor.

In speech at the Court House
Saturday afternoon Judge M. d.
Brown, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, subject to the Democratic
party, formerly withdrew from the
race. The reasons given were that
his private business had kept him
from making thorough canvass
and the absorbing interest of the
public in the gubernatorial race
had made it difficult to arouse any
interest in other contests.
