STOCKTON WANTS A
BIG BOND ISSUE TO
REPAIR THE DAMAGE
By Associated Press.

STOCKTON, Cal, March 21.-The
flood watel is all out of the city ex-
cept in low places and the streets are
clear, but they show the effects of the
rush of water and need repairing.
Tonight at a mass meeting called by
Mayor Gardner, it was decided to i'm
mediately press a bond issue for $780,
900 to repair the streets and replace
bridges.
The water is now pressing on the
leVees Of the reclaimed lands in the
country and will reach the highest
stage tonight.
The great force of the San Joaquin
river flood is now going against Union
island, Clifton court and the Byron
tract on the west side of the river,
the flood being in what is known as
Old river.
Reports from the mountains are that
the streams have fallen many feet and
the highest water has been seen here
except in the section through which
Old river runs, but 1t is hoped to save
the levees there.
The Southern Pacific track between
Lathrop and Bents on the west side
of the river is in bad shape and no
trains can be sent over it.
The route to San Francisco is now
around by way of Fresno. Several
overland trains got in here tonight
from Sacramento and went on to
Fresno to reach the west side track
and thence into San Francisco.
Six more overland trains will pass
through here tonight The road to
Sacramento was opened late this after
noon. The Santa Fe has bad break
few miles out from Stockton and the
flood water is cutting away the road
for a great distance.
1t will be necessary to use piling to
make repairs and meanwhile passen-
ger service will be by steamers unless
it is decided to use the Southern Pa
cific tracks through Fresno.

BLOCKADE ON THE
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
is NOW COMPLETE
BY Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO. March 2t.-This
morning the blockade on the Southern
Pacific lines was made complete and the
lines to the eastward were rendered
helpless by a washout of 200 feet of
track at Lpplegate, but during the
afternoon the situation changed for the
better when with the report that the
Applegate washout has been repaired
came another stating that it was ex-
pected that the track would be opened
through to Stockton.
A trestle was placed IN the gap at the
Applegate washout this evening and
more trains were dispatched east. One
or these, Portland train, will
be sent to Utah via the short line The
Placerville line is in full commission
again but no trains are operating on
the Marysville branch farther than
Wheatland
1t will be many days before trains
can pass to San Francisco by way Of
Davisville and Sisson. The track is
now under a foot of water all the way
between the two breaks west of wash
ington, which occurred Wednesday
morning, and much more of the en-
bankment has been damaged by the
wash of the flood. The railroad COM
pany is making no effort to repair the
break and will not before the water in
the overflow lowers
Travel Is Blocked
1t will perhaps be ten days or more
before travel is possible again between
sacramento and Davisville.
On the Portland line no trains are
running beyond Redding, the tracks
being out at Keswick, Campbell and
Kennett, and 1t is expected that travel
cannot be resumed beyond Redding for
at least ten days A train was run
from San Francisco to Redding yester-
day and will be continued in service in
definitely.
From Redding a swing train will be
run back as far as Chico. Western
trains are arriving out of San Fran
cisco but the Sunset express and the
Owl left as usual for Los Angeles last
night, and a local has been put on as
far as Santa Marguerite.

BOARD A STEAMER
FOR SAN FRANCISCO
BY Associated Press.

SACRAMENTO. March 21.-The river
at this point is falling rapidly this
morning, although water is flowing
into the town of Broderick, on the
Yolo side, in a torrent The town is
completely under water.
The steamer Apache left this morn
ing for San Francisco with more than
400 passengers, principally persons who
arrived here yesterday on the dalayed
overland trains. The officials refused
to sell more tickets and those who did
not get in early were Offering high pre-
miums for passage.
The tieup on the lines of the South
ern Pacific is complete this morning.
Not train is running in or out of
Sacramento except over the Placerville
division. The officials state it will be
many days before traffic is resumed.
At Courtland, several miles down the
river, the levees are still holding, al
though they are reported weak in sew
eral places. The water is flowing over
the back levees and several of the
small reclamation districts are flooded.
No Alarm at Sacramento
The city of Sacramento has suffered
absolutely no damage from the flood.
The water at no time reached within
eight feet of the top of the levees.
There was no alarm among the resi-
dents at any stage of the flood.
There are many flood refugees from
the northern part of the state in this
city and also many immigrants who
arrived yesterday on the delayed over
land trains who are absolutely without
funds. Sacramento is making prepara-
tions to care for them. There is a bal
ance of $4,000 in the fund which was
raised for the relief of the refugees
from San Francisco and it has been
suggested that it be devoted to reliev-
ing the sufferings of the flood victims
and the destitute immigrants who are
stalled here.

Democrats do something like this,
Nothing but a national calamity
will induce him to run again. AS
for the panic we go SO far as tc
say it is in great part caused by
Roosevelt's attacks on the trusts
and combinations. He is alto.
g9ther right in this and we cheer
him on. Where is the man that
has not been affected by u great
trusts. Where is the man with
any considerable capital that will
do business but as he wants to.
The threatened panic is due to
acts of exsentment of GU great
trusts. Roosevelt has determined
to punish evil doors, be they
great or small, and he will con-
quer mol will he die politically in
doing SO. Foreign capital is well
come to this state, but if we have
to yield up u dearest rights, we
say keep it out. If foreign cap
ital can not work reasonably in
our state then we say let them
hold their money. No doubt this
checking of trusts and corpora
lions will cause our great
fanciers to hold their money, but
We gladly bear any temporary
panic if we can only check this
eternal grasping for money by
our fnanciers. The fact that a
few men can cause a panic 80
wide spread and complete as was
threatened proves that we are
practically living in bondage,
Then let us be up and doing, that
we may help Roosevelt in his
struggle as he is looking for the
common good of all and not the
privileges of a few.
