Hundred thousand Dollars to
Be Raised by Tax or SUBJ
scription to Buy Lands
Merchants Association, Realty
Board and Commerce Cham
Der Pledged to Assist
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, Sept. l1.-With the
assurance of Congressman Duncan E.
McKinlay that an appropriation of
$500 600 would be forthcoming from
congress at the next session for the
widening of the Sacramento river if
the necessary lands for the project
were purchased or donated, representa-
tives for the retail Merchants associa-
tion, realty board and chamber of COM
merce tonight pledged the support of
the city of Sacramento to the cause.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
sum in the neighborhood of 100000
would be raised by Sacramento for i'm
mediate use, either by tax levy or by
subscription. If the first method is
deemed too slow or illegal the latter
method will be adopted.
ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT
McKinlay told the meeting that he
had every assurance from the members
of the river and harbor committee of
congress that the bill asking for $780,
600 for the Improvement of the Sacra-
mento river would be passed. Chair
man Alexander of that committee, he
stated, naQ lOiu HiIH tHdI the SdcId-
mento river proposition, of the many
presented, was the most fair and ap-
pealed so to other members.
1T must be one of two projects that
lis to be boosted said McKinlay. TT
has either to be the $400,0 900 project
for the widening of the mouth of the
river, or the project of the Sacramento
valley development association to
dredge the river with the $114,000
avail ble in a reserve fund"
Both projects could not be boosted
with any idea of success and in view
of the necessity of providing an out
let for the flood waters. McKinlay be-
lieved the dredge project should be
abandoned for a time while the other
was put forward.
MONEY TO AID NAVIGATION
The appropriation of 100000 is to
be given with the idea that the Sac
ramento river is to be improved for
the purposes of navigation. The gov
ernment, therefore, refuses to buy
lands, but should these lands be do
mated or bought by the state the gov
ernment would readily make the pro-
posed cutoff in the Sacramento delta.
Colonel Biddle and Captain Jackson,
government engineers, outlined the
plans for the widening of the mouth of
the river by cutting through the islands
below Rio Vista. Captain Anderson,
prime mover in the project. placed the
sum needed at once for the work at
about $4,000. The city of Sacramento
should be willing to raise 800, 600 and
this, with the s100, 900 to be raised by
the land owners in the delta sections
he said, would form sufficient sum to
lay the foundation for the government
and state work.

WAS FIRST AERONAUT
TO CROSS CHANNEL
Blanchard Met UntimeIy Death
After Fall From Balloon

According to French journal,
Blanchard, who was the first to make
the aerial passage over the channel
in a. balloon, once devised a flying
machine furnished with several wings,
and propelled by motor, evidently
driven by steam. With this it is said
that lie actually rose 10 yards in the
air though never higher. This seronaut
was killed in 1909, after a fall in the
course of an ascension which he made
wife also perished 10 years later in
similar circumstances In an ascent
in Paris her balloon caught fire. and
she was thrown to the ground and
killed.

LONDON LEARNS TO FRIvOL.
Expatiates on the Joy of Playing the
Fool a Little.

cit is a common cause of complaint
against English people, and English men
in particular, that they cannot let them
selves go, or in other words that they
cannot frivol and play the fool" says
The Lady's Pictorial. "There is nothing
so good for the individuals spirits and
the nations gayety as to be childish on
occasion and foolishly young.
ION the continent they consider the
best means to this end is to don domln-
oes and false noses and blow penny
trumpets, dance in the open air, and so
on. In England we do none OF these
things and, so we are told, mOre's the
pity.
Desperate efforts are now being made
to correct this mistake on our part. Lon
don is now gay city; we are making
the most of our restaurants, the cafe Is
creeping into favor, we are ne longer SO
chary about decorating our houses and
making a brave show when we get
chance of organizing a procession.
'"There are signs and tokens that the
carnival spirit hovers over us. The art
lists fancy ball idea has been warmly
taken up, the roller skating carnival at
who are not in fancy dress, has found
favor in the sight of the public, and this
year the restaurants made merry at Mar
di Gras dinners.
"By all means let us make more OF
Shrove Tuesday. 1t is day for frivol-
ling across the channel. Let us frivol
here. We have seen how the Christmas
parties organized by foreign managers
of our big hotels are enjoyed by the
stolid English, and without doubt if we
are shown how to keep Shrove Tuesday
in continental fashion we shall not now
be Slowly to enter into it's spirit. We are
learning the pleasures and ignoring the
Stiffness and childishnes of dressing up,
we are discovering the art of frivolling."
