"In Bunyari's Pilgrims Progress
you may recall the description of the
Man with the Muck-rake, the man
who could look no way but down
ward: who was offered celestial
crown for his muck rake, but who
would neither look up nor regard the
crown he was offered, but continued
to rake to himself the filth of the
floor
The man with the muck rake typ
ifies the man who in this life refuses
to see aught that is lofty and fixes
his eyes with solemn intentness only
on that which is vile and debasing.
Now, it is very necessary that we
should not finch from seeing what is
vile and debasing. There is filth on
the floor, and it must be scraped up
with the muck-rake But the man
who never thinks or speaks or writes,
save of his feats with the muck-rake

There Is a large break twelve miles
north Of here, where about one-half Of the
water from the river is rushing out. When
the country on that side fills UP, which
will not be long, the river will rise rapidly
unless the weather clears. Several thou
sand acres planted to grain Will be total
loss. On the Colusa side there is no i'm
mediate danger, as the levees are all in
tact. The river and tule farmers are ex-
periencing much trouble from seepage
water, as the river has only been inside
its natural banks two weeks since the
middle Of January. The worst trouble
from the seepage has been felt inside the
ievee which protects reclamation district
1Oe in the southern end of the county. A
large pump works night and day pumping
water from the inside Of this levee. The
loss to prunes and other fruits that are
now blooming will be considerable No
estimate can be made yet. Much of the
grain, which showed a very healthy
growth three weeks ago. is now very yell
low on account Of too much moisture.
