WATERS RISING AGAIN.

VISALIA, June 25.-There is still no
appreciable decrease in the amount OF
water on the streets. 1t fell slightly
Yesterday, but this afternoon began
climbing toward it's former level. This
afternoon the first instance of the track
giving way occurred on sidetrack IN
the eastern part of the city. freight
engine being let down TO the ground by
the spreading OF the rails. The loco
motive was finally put back on the
track and hauled out of danger. The
switch was abandoned. 1t is feared
that much trackage will be damaged
before the flood subsidies. The swiftest
current in the city is flowing directly
along the line of the Southern Pacific,
and once the water gets beneath the
oiled crust on the surface the track
will be quickly undermined.
A meeting OF the City Council will
be held this evening. at which ways
and means of getting rid Of the flood
waters will be discussed. The digging
of a large canal through the most con-
venient street which Will dump the
flood water beyond the city is the plan
advocated by the majority of the peo-
pie. 1t seems to be the most feasible.
The breakage on the Hanford branch
of the Santa Fe line by the food waters
of Kings River has caused a suspension
of traffic on that line, and all the
through trains are coming through this
city. Crews and piledrivers are busy
at work on the breaks, but the force
OF the current is so great that II is
understood the task of bridging the
washouts has been practically aban-
doned.

REPUBLICANS
To THE FRONT
State Committee Will
Issue Call Today for
Convention.

The Republican State Committee will
meet at p. m. today in King Solo
mons Hall on Fillmore street to fix
the time and place of holding the State
and district nominating conventions.
Last night there was q meeting of the
committee of the State committee at
the Union League Club, corner of. Sac
ramento and Franklin streets. General
George Stone presided. The members
responding to the rollcall were Robert
t. Devlin, Alden Anderson, W. S,
Wood e. F. Woodward, James X WI
son. E. S. Teller. II. W. Lynch. Charles
H. Spear. Thomas Flint. A. Fl. Ashley
and j. Steppacher.
The call as framed by the executive
committee was read and will be sub
mitted to the general body today. The
apportionment is on the vote cast for
Roosevelt in 1904. 1t provides for a
convention of S25 delegates. San Fran
cisco will have 159 delegates. Los An
geles 1873. Alameda 76, Santa Clara 81
and Sacramento 20.
The Assembly districts in San Fran
cisco will have representation as fol-
lows: Twenty eighth 6. Twenty ninth
6, Thirtieth Z, Thirty-frst I, Thirty
second 8, Thirty-third g. Thirty fourth
9, Thirty fifth 10, Thirtysixth 8, Thir-
ty-seventh H. Thirty eighth IL, Thirty
/ ninth 10, Fortieth 10, Forty-second II,
i VI ~ IL Vlt -AOul III ~ 4 VIZ
/ fifth Z.
1t is provided that the delegates to
! the main convention shall compose the
district conventions to nominate Con-
| gressmen, Railroad Commissioners,
! Appellate Justices, Board of Equaliza-
ton, Senator's and Assemblymen, where
no petition for separate convention is
/ filed, but it does not follow that the
! subordinate conventions shall make
| nominations at the time when the State
/ ticket is nominated.
The topic OF registration for the
primary election will be taken UP al
! the State committee meeting today and
| 1t is probable that steps will be taken
! to ask the Supreme Court to reverse
the ruling of Commissioner Gator
Vigorous effort will be made upon
the part of Santa Cruz to secure the
convention for that city. Since the
fire the following appeal has been made
to the State committee members:
Santa CRUZ, June 22, 1906.
You have undoubtedly been in
| formed that the Casino Hall has beer
damaged by fire. True we have had 8
sfire, but yet we have two of the fines
halls in the State left, one at the beach
and one in the heart of the city, which
housed the memorable Republican con
vention of 1900 and the famous Hears
! convention later, and by August wher
you come here all traces of the fire vii
| be removed.
I'VE need your assistance far more
now than ever. Sacramento had the
! extra session and has the Democratic
convention and we need the Republi
can convention.
Our visitors are enjoying life OF
our unrivaled beach today; enjoying
the music of the military band, which
will play throughout the season..
The Sacramento committee will b.
on hand to press the claims of tn
capital city.
The executive committee last nigh
decided to recommend that the conven
tion be held on September o. Tn
Democratic convention has been callet
to meet on September II.

WATERS BREAK
THROUGH LEvEE
Ten Thousand Acres of
Growing Crops Are
Inundated.
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

STOCKTON, June 25-At l o'clock
this morning one of the main levees
of Old River broke and something
like 10000 of the choicest acres of
Union Island are now under water and
the crops destroyed. Beans. potatoes,
asparagus. barley and wheat were
swamped.
All day yesterday the water in Old,
Middle and San Joaquin rivers kept
rising steadily. At Clifton Court, be-
fore the break occurred. the river
reached a height of twelve feet three
inches. or nearly a foot and a half
higher than it has ever been known
to attain at that point. The break at
Union Island saved Victoria, Wood
ward and probably other adjacent
islands from inundation The released
water relieved the strain upon the
other levees and the river began drop
ping gradually
The break occurred near the Chi
nese camp at Kuckuk landing, oppo-
site Concy Island. About fifty feet OF
the levee went out and immediately
there was great thrush OF water
from the river, the bed of which is
higher than the surrounding reclaimed
lands. The break widened deeply un-
til it was fully 200 feet wide "A feet
of dredges was rushed to the scene and
seemingly vain efforts is being made

HEALTH BOARD
WILL CUT PIE
Adjustment of Salaries
the Next Feature on
Programme.

EMPLOYEES of the Board OF Health Will
know their fate after the meeting OF
the board next Thursday morning. A
call was issued yesterday for session,
at which salaries will be nxed ana
such appointments as are not suo1ect
to civil service rules will be announced
Because the Supervisors, in prepar-
ing the budget, allowed the Board OF
Health $3.50 more this year than last
for the salary account there is not
much danger, so report goes, OF any
cut in salaries, but all the same the
men and women who draw salaries
never are certain what will happen un-
til the policy has been determined.
Exclusive of the various hospitals
that come under the jurisdiction OF the
Health Board there are some forty EN-
ployes presumably secure In their po-
sitions because of the civil service reg
uIations. Theses include the health Of
ficer and inspectors. While the board
theoretically, has no authority to dis
place such appointees, it can and does
fix the salaries and the action of the
board next Thursday morning will de-
termine the course TO be followed dur
ing the year commencing the lst or
July.
II understand we are not to be
touched" said one of the civil service
men yesterday. Just the same we
would like TO know Wtdl tilO wa u
proposes to dos There ought not TO be
a cut In. salaries, for the Supervisors
have allowed us a little more money
than last year
In the general department, connected
directly with the Health Department,
there are eleven employees, who are
not under civil service rules. and con-
stitute what is known as the thirty
day appointments" Inasmuch, now
ever, as they were appointed by the
present board, there is little apprehen-
sion among them of any changes. Thls
list includes the following:
Thomas Conrad, sanitary inspector
$50: n. d. Miller. factory inspector, $50
J. L. David, disinfector. 500; Thomas
