A FULI- STATEMENT OF THE
WATER PROPOSITION.
There appears to be a great deal of ig
norance—we do not use the word offen
sively—regarding the water proposition
to be voted on on the 26th inst. We confess
that we cannot comprehend why there
should be any misunderstanding at all
about it, but many good citizens appear to
be badly "mixed," as the Baying goes, on
the question.
A simple statement of the matter is now
attempted, and for the accuracy of the
facts the Record-Union pledges itself.
The present water supply is an offense
i?i the eye of strangers, whatever resi
may think of it. That fact mili
tates against our progress, injures busi
ness and retards growth. It will be re
called how the water we use was made a
weapon against us in the last Legisla
ture.
The present water supply machinery is
Incomplete, and as it is not duplicated,
exposes the city to the peril of a water
famine and a eontlagration. The water |
main is wholly insuflicient, and is laid !
uuon a wrong principle, a fact stated |
\\ hen the main was put in.
To put in a main such as we should I
have, secure a system that will give us |
clear, pure water, and insure a pressure
of 100 pounds maximum will cost the city I
S-VjO.OOO, in the opinion of Trustee Conk- |
In—that is, such a system as is proposed
under the scheme now to be voted on.
The Chief KngLneerof the Water Works
has reported officially and repeatedly
that while the Holly pumps have been
repaired at fieavy cost and are now in ex
collent condition, yet he deems the city
in great danger, and liable at any moment
to serious and great loss, and to a pos
sible raise of 1 per cent, in insurance
rates, simply and solely because the sup
ply apparatus is not what it should be,
and because parts of it are very, very old.
The city recently advertised for schemes
or propositions to supply the city with
clear, pure water. Mountain or gravita
tion supply and subterranean systems
were submitted, but the schemes to bring
i;i water from the mountains dropped out
for two reasons—First, the city would
n. t listen to any proposition to bring
water in ditches any distance at all; sec
ond, mountain companies could not
promise at anytime to sell the city the
■ystein, because they propose to furnish
other towns and cities and otherwise use |
tho water reservoired in the mountains,
ould m /'■ r,
i ■ <■ should, agree to sell out the
ti-alfr supplying pni-tlii/e to an
tton or company; she tiuittt upon owning
hr own work* and collecting her own
fitff: ami being free fin 'ennui
v ith auji company holding ari'jitt to col
ttmmt in her border* or to poaaeaa the
.• '
d. It is believed that a sublerrranean sup- !
ply of good water is at hand near the
city. A company that represents the j
largest pump concern in the world pro- :
to prospect for that water on the
condition that if it is found: if it is suili
ci> :it; •/ it is pure; if it is clear; if it is to :
the satisfaction of the city under test j
tood drinking waior, thon the city shall
take the water from the company for '■
twenty years at a stated sum, which will
give .Sacramento water cheaper than any ;
water supply in the State.
At the end of that time the city may
buy the land, wells and machinery at a
price to be tixed upon by arbitrators; or
it maj decline to buy. In that case the
city shall take the water five years more.
Then it may again offer to buy, but if it
does not, then the contract is to run live
years more, and then to absolutely end
and cease.
But, iv accepting this contract, the com
pany at its own cost is to put iv a great
main the whole length of the city. The
city is not to put out a dollar lor any
thing. It is to retain its old water works
SACRAMENTO DAILY BECQBD-yyiOX. MOXDAY, AUGUST 14, 1893.-SIX PAGES.
as a reserve, to be used at any time in
case the new system fails, or to supply
any deficiency. The city is to collect its
own water rates; no one cau fix, touch
or have anything to do with the rates but
the city. She simply pays a spot sum
monthly for a spot amount of water and
SO much a million gallons in excess of
that spot amount.
A meter is to bo placed in the city
limits, the key in the possession of the j
city, to measure the amount of water fur
uished. The story circulated that a meter
is to be placed in each house is a ma
licious misrepresentation.
All the time the water must remain '
pure, clear, drinkable. If at any time it
fails in these requisites the contract ends I
or is suspended. Thus the contractors
take all the risk, put np all the money,
and the city does not go into debt a dollar.
"Where," we are asked, "is the gain of ;
the contractors?" We reyly, in the mar
gin botweon cost of lifting and delivering
the water, plus the interest value of tho
capital invested, and the sum paid by the
i city for the water delivered. Second, in
the prospeciivo growth of the city in
twenty years and its consequent in
creased demand for water.
"Why, then, should not the city herself
sink the deep wells, put in pumps, sup
ply herself and make the profit berseU?"
Because, iirst, Bhe could not command
I the money now, nor 10 per cent of it. She
could not, as she never has, nor can any
; other city, construct works so cheaply as
j can private builders. Third, she could not
supply herself wiih what it proposed
under the suggested contract lor halt a
million of money; such is the estimate of
j the Superintendent oi tho Water Works.
j Fourth, if the city undertakes tbe scheme
! herself, and spends thirty or forty
thousand Hollars in prospecting, and
fails to gel water in sufficient quantity,
it will be a dead loss to her.
This is a perfectly ;air and strictly ac- i
curate statement as tho Kbookd-Union
finds it from the records. To us it seems
an otter in a thousand; a remarkably
fortunate oiler, one that any city situ
ated as is this .should bo glad to accept.
For these reasons we favor it. If tho
people do not by their votes advise its ac
ceptance, they will, in our opinion, com
mit one of the most serious of mistakes.
I BRAIN POW.gR AM) VITALI VY.
The London Speaker saya you cannot
easily kill a man by brain work, but by
worry and anxiety you can wear him out
very quickly. The man who uses his
brain power every day a goodly time
trains his nerve power and adds to his
vitality, and enhances its enduring ca
pacity.
There is no doubt about this. We never j
believe the stories, not more than one in
ten, told of meu who dio because of over
exertion of brain. But the truth is, only
the doctors are too cowardly to tell their !
patients and friends of patients just the
truth, that they who die of so-called
brain exhaustion really die of neglect of
habit. One may be so studious as to fail
into neglect of exercise, failure to care
for the stomach, neglect of regularity of
habit, and above all, failure to vary his
occupation. It is because of the negiect
referred to, and of the grooves in which
men run, that they suffer and die before
their time.
A distinguished scientist and keen ob
| server, whose confidence we enjoyed
j while the earth claimed him for the uses
of and betterment of his fellows, once j
i told us that his extended study and experi- j
I ence had convinced him beyond all ques- J
j tion that to every man an avocation or
I several avocations are essential, as con
| tradistinguished from vocation. "Mark
it, note it,"' he was accustomed to say to
his class, "that the many-sided men, so
called, are the long-lived and vitally
charged men. Note also, youug gentle
men, that it is the slave to vocation, the
fellow who travels in a groove, who brings
up with brain trouble, and kidney dis
ease, and all maunor of ills. Take your
avocations apart and away from your vo
cations and insure long and healthful
life. It is the mental change of gait that !
conserves strength, and it is illustrated
in the case of the horse, best driven when
change of road involves a change of gait
and muscular play. Have your avoca
tions; let them be as widely dissimilar
Irom your vocatious as possible. You
will make the greatest mistake of your
lives U you imagine that assiduity and
application moan slavery to vocation.
It is that mistake that is making of our
business and professional mou a class of
dyspeptics."
The Speaker is in doubt about the doc
trine of some of the schools, that the
brain can actually give power to the i
I muscles. But this we do know, that it
pat vitality into the frame for a lon^
time. A mail can will to dio or to live,
and every one is familiar with insla:.'
of life prolonged, even of recovery from
disease, by the sheer power of the wili
directed by the brain. However that
may be, the brain is rarely in danger
:n over work, if its gait is changed
reasonably often, it does not even need
rest, aside from sleep, so much as it
needs the training of change and the
absence of fret aud worry. "Care kills'
the cat' 1 though it has nine lives, why
not the man with one? The steady,
strong pull, the well-applied force of the
brain does not harm the man, but when
M '-011188 to the hauling, twisting, turn
ing, jerking and worrying of the brain,
through fret and care, it gives out very
- >uu. and shortly after the physical man
in all other respects falls into decay.

The authorities have handled the
cholera cases imported into New York
harbor with much skill. We have not
hked L)r. Jenkin's rule iii the past, but
whenever he is vigorous and successful
he should have due credit. But his suc
cess with the present quarantine in no
wise lessens the ioroe of the argument
fof giving sole control in suoh cases as
importation of pests, to the National san
itary authorities, for the reason that the
quarantine system should be comprehen
sive, and the same at one port as at :1 !i
--niker. lor instance. l)r. Jenkins' atop
■ page of tha cholera in New York harbor |
in no wise lessens the liability of its en
tering at some lesser port where the local
officials are incompetent or indifferent.
In another column we reprint portions
of a letter from a citizen of Illinois on the
experience of certain farmers in that
State in the matter of good road building.
The point to which we invite special at
tention is that wherein It is stated that
these farmers became convinced that pot
terine and patch work on roads is not
economy, but that to build good roads at
once, and under direction of men who
understand their business, is greatly
cheaper, and that the benefits in addition
to cheapness are simply incalculable.
Tb» letter to which we refer is not a theo
retical dissertation; it is a statement of
fact; it treats ol things not theories; it is
the prool of the pudding, not the promise.
«
The yellow lever is epidemic in one
section of the coast South. It is as much
to be feared as is the cholera. Not so
rapid in its work it is equally as deadly.
The Government has taken prompt
measures to quarantine the infected sec
tion. (Quarantine of the fever is more
easily accomplished than is quarantine
Oi cholera, but experience lias proved
that both may bo stamped out and pre
vented from spreading by rigid seques
tration.
A OASB IN POINT.
What the City Will Gnin by a Close
Water supply.
A littie incident occurred at the late
Great Council of the Improved Order of
Red Men in San Frau dsco which fairly
illustrates the injury that is » usteuitly
being done this city because of the muddy
and otherwise objectionable character of
tiio river water.
Wiiea 11. A. Guthrie and others pro
posed Sacramento us the place, where tho
Great Council should hold its next ses
sion a delegate troin another county arose
in opposition to the proposition.
"Sacramento," he said, "is a nice city;
it is a beautiful city in many parts, and,
taken altogether, 1 consider v tin; garden
spot of the State. B"t i am opposed U>
having the Great Council held there— l
am opposed to going there, on accouutof
ibe vileness o; iw river water.
"Why,"said iie, "Iwenl to Sacramento
once and put up at ii hotel there, and when
1 wanted to wash my iacein the morning i
couldn't do it. The water was absolutely
il.i.-k with dirt. 1 rattled the landlord and
asked him ii .someone hadn't washed his
feet in the water that was placed iii my
room."'
several other delegates related similar
experiences, and it looked lor a time as if
Sacramento had been knocked completely
out, but the delegates from this city made
explanations of the situation, and finally
when uio vote was taken it was found
that Sacramento had won by a bare ma
jority what had been regarded as an eas3"
victory.
But it was a costly victory at host. No
city can afford to be talked of in this way,
and the constant repetition ol these at
tacks on Sacramento lias cost the city
thousands on thousands of population
within tiie last twenty-five years, and
their continuance would forever keep
back her growth and prosperity.
All that the worst enemies of this city
need do in order to injure her by keeping
people from settling nereis to point to the
iact that her water supply is taken from
the drainage canal of the Sacramento Val
ley, as the river is called.
All this can now be averted, lor it only
remains for the people to say the word
and Sacramento will have not only tho
cheapest, but far and away the best water
of any city 011 the coast, and plenty of it.
PREDACIOUS_ BOYS.
They Steal and Destroy tho Fruit of
Shipping Firms.
The companies that are engaged in
shipping fruit have been much troubled
lately by a lot of boys who manage to de
stroy largo quantities of fruit for them.
They have tried all methods of fastening
up the cars, but the boys tie their knives
to sticks and endeavor fo spear tho fruit
and melons in that way, getting a little
occasionally, and ol coarse destroying a
great deal. They also watch their chances
when the fruit is on the platforms ready
for shipment.
The nuisance has become unbearable,
ami the companies are going to put on
one or more men who are unknown to
the boys, to watch, so there is a proba
bility that some of the youngsters will
s;mn grace the Police Court, and by the
time their parents have paid |S0 or $40 for
their fun they will, perhaps, look after
children a little closer.
TOOK _A_HEADER.
An Enghia at Port ( O3ta Plunges Into
the liity.
At Port Costa on Saturday night a
freight engine in charge of Engineer
Sharkey ran off the boat and plunged
into the water in the ferry slip.
The brakes refused to work, and the
engineer could not control it, so both he
and the fireman jumped and saved them
selves from going down with their en
gine. The tender and train remained ou
the track.
As the ferryboat Solano, which trans
fers the trains from one side of the Straits
of < Jarqulnei to the other, can not make a
landing until the engine is raised, the
trains all bad to come up yesterday by
way of Lathrop.
It is thought that by this morning the
locomotive will be again on shore and
the boat running as usual.
Sensible < aloulatlon.
The Record-Union has had a good
deal to say about good roads. It has ad
vocated the policy of building good roads
even if it is necessary to issue forty-year
bonds to do so, because it has been
demonstrated that it is cheaper to build
good roads at a spot cost tlian to pay a
large annual tax lor dirt or coarse gravel
roads; that actually the cost can be re
dmed oce-hail by the plan, and during
the life of the bond the people may have
the benefits of the good roads. For in
stance, if the tax is 20 cents a year, but 10
or 15 cents will borrow the money and
provide for payment of interest and re
demption of the bonds, then it is cheaper
to borrow and build than to pay Lit cents
annually for old-fashioned roads. In I
kern County this idea has been taken Dp
and is about to be voted upon, and sf>r- <-s
to show how sentiment is coming around
to the right point.—Kio Vista News.

that <-ity wants to keep the Capital she
bad better be careful about doing any
thing to improve the quality of nor water.

BACK FROM THE FAIR.
George Boyne Gives Some of His Im
pressions of It.
California's Dlspluy Attracting; Much
Attention—Sacramento's Ex
hibit a Good One.
1
George TCoyne, the well-known decora- j
tor, returned on Saturday evening;, with
his wife, from a visit to the World's
Fair. Mr. J'.oyno is very observant, and
nothiii); of importance escaped his eyes
at the great exposition.
"I h;ive attended all the great shows of
late years," said Mr. Boyne yesterday to
■j. Reoord-Untoh reporter, "including
the Paris Exposition, and I tell you there
never waa anything seen in any country
to compare with the Columbian World's
j Fair, it's immense, and words fail to ex
press one's sentiments regarding it."'
-Mr. Boyne said he was jjreatly pleased
with the Sacramento exhibit in t;iu raii
lornia building, ami thought that Mr.
; Me Mullen made an excellent manager.
: Jle was sorry to sec, however, that much
Of the fruit did not look well. In other
buiiiiinir.s they use showcases of the re- i
fngoralor or cold-storage description, j
which keep the fruit looking nico and j
fresh.
'there is no uso, Mr. Hoy tie says, of j
anyone -=<-!1111 ncr fruit there !>y express
j for exhibit. .Some re m\ud in that way
was not tit for placing on exhibition
when ii reached there.
He thinks a great mistake was made by
I Sacramento County tailing to send on the
citrus locomotive from the Mechanics'
Pair 111 San Francisco, as it would have
beeuagrund feature, li. M. Laltuesaya
it would have been a great attraction in
I tiie horticultural building, eveu if its
I citrus decorations bad been replaced by a
1 garniture of grains, etc.
\\ bile Mr. Boyne found some things
I connected with the preparation i>r tin:
Sacramento exhibit that might bo

I and is satisfied that those who h.ai I
managed the preparation of it cud liio i
bi-st they knew how.

know how to pack oranges so as to have

Boyne told Mr. LaKue thai he remem
bered having read in the Kei oud-Uniok
the suggestion that the Sacramento ex
hibit should contain pictures of the city
I in early days, and some aa it appears to
day, also pictures of suiter's Kort taken
! in ! he days of its glory and later on when
iis reconstruction was undertaken. ]
! Together they called on Manager Me- i
\ Mullen, but not a picture of Sacramento I
I nor of Slitter's Fort could they lind, and
the old pioneers were disappointed.
It is nut now too iaio for someone
interested in the success of Sacramento's
; exhibit to collect and send on pictures of
this kind.
Mr. Boyne speaks very warmly of H.
M. Laßue and his work for the fair.
All Callfornians receive a cordial wel
come when they call on him, busy as he
is, and iio never tires showing his .Sacra
mento friends about.
Mr. Boyne says ho went Bast by way '
of the Canadian route to view the grand
j scenery of which he had read so much,
I hut he says it does not compare with that
of thi) Central and Union Pacific lines.
Nowhere does it equal that to lie seen be
tween ibis city and Truckee.
As to climate and other conditions, he
says that California has a jjreat advantage
over other parts of the country, as all
must admit after traveling through the
East and West.
Everybody at tho fair, he said, is talk-
I ing of coming to California next winter,
! so great is the interest that has been
I awakened by the magnificent exhibits in
the California building.
