PLAN TO CARRY OFF WATER.
CcnaI VIII BE Dug 10 Relieve visaiis
of 0verHOw.

VISALIA. June 26.-1'here is little
change in the water situation. The
overflow has fallen slightly within the
last twentyfour hours because of the
prevailing cool weather. At a meet
ing of the City Council last evening a
citizens committee of five was appoint
ed by the Mayor to work in conjunction
with the Board of Health in devising
means for draining the streets and to
guard against any i'll effects from the
food. This committee held a meeting
this morning and decided to dig a large
canal tapping Mill Creek at the eastern
city limits and running down Acequia
street to the western side of the city,
where it will empty. A dam will also
be thrown part way across the creek
in order to turn part of the water into
the new channel. All the plans have
been made, and work on the canal will
be commenced early tomorrow morning.
Rain commenced falling in this city
about l p. m. today and has been COM
ing down every since. Rain also fell
in the Sierra Nevadas to the east. This
may result in another downrush of
water to the plains.

FLOOD CREATES

Thousands of Acres Now

Hundreds of Men Pa
troll Levees to Pre-
vent New Breaks.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL.

STOCKTON, June 26.-The flood sit
uation in the reclamation districts is
becoming more intense. The danger
now centers at the Grant line canal
levees, at the upper end of Union
Island. Three hundred men patroIled
these levees all night to guard against
breaks and to prevent farmers from
cutting the levees in order to save
their own farms.
The water has poured in through the
old breaks of last March across the
Fabian Tract. The space between the
Old River and the Grant line canal
covering an area over mile wide in
places and nearly four miles in length.
is now one great sea. A message from
Orwood stated that the break at Kuc-
kuk Landing had widened to 400 feet,
and all hope OF closing the break has
been abandoned. 1t is estimated that
it will take at least three days to fill
Union Island, which is much lower than
the bottom of the river bed.
Stockton is experiencing unprece-
dented weather for June. Following a
high and cold wind of two days rain
fell here this morning and the atmo-
spheric conditions are akin to those
of November. With July almost here
there has been little or no summer so
far outside of two or three hot days.
Fruit and grain men say that the rain
is not sufficient to do any damage.
though If it should continue it will
stain barley and make it unfit for
brewing purposes.

MARE ISLAND UNDERBIDS
EASTERN SHIPBUILDERS

WASHINGTON, June 2e.-As check
upon the bids opened last Saturday for
the construction of the 16,Oo0-ton bat
tleships South Carolina and Michigan.
Secretary Bonaparte has secured esti-
mates for the construction. of such
ships from the New York and Mare
Island navy yards. The Mare Island
yard considerably underbids the New
York yard, notwithstanding Congress
has heretofore allowed differential of
per cent in favor of the California
builders to meet the increased cost of
structural steel on the coast The
Mare Island bid for such a ship was
$3.657773 and the New York bid was
s4,073,645.
While the lowest of these bids Is a
little more than 100000 in excess of
the lowest bid from the private ship
building concerns. it is still consider
ably below the majority OF such bids.
The Secretary of the Navy under the
law is authorized to have a ship con-
structed at navy yard if he regards
the private bids as exorbitant, but IL
is not believed at the department that
he will do SO in this case
