FRIDAY...
NOT SO BAD AS PAINTED.

Jndge Hinkson of Sacramento Talks 00) Cu. gr. have returned from Shasta
the Slickens Qusetion.
Last evening’s Sacramento Bee says:
Attorney A. C. Hinkson made an interesting statement before the Chamber
of Commerce last night that was very
decidedly at variance with all preconfield is here visiting her sister, Mrs. A.
R. Morrison.
ceived notions of the danger done by
hydreulic mining in filling up the. Sacramento River. The statement was
that the river had not filled ap with:
‘sedimentin the past fifty years to an
average extent greater than two feet.
Sacramento school children are
taught that in early days, before there
was any hydraulic mining and before
there were any levees protecting the,
land along the Sacramento River,
ocean steamers were wont to ascend to
far above Sacramento, and it was a us. .
ual sight to see several of these large
craft.tied up to the water front. Oldtimers tell of when the river was almost as clear as crystal, and so deep
that large vessels could navigate it at
any time of year, One pioneer states
that before the days of levees he stood
at what is now the foot of N street and
looked down the natural embankment
to the surface of the water more than a
dozen feet below, while it is said that
the surface of the river to-day is abou!
a dozen feet above the level of the city.
It was owing to the noteriety of these
things that Hinkson’s are rota was
received with surprise.
“I paid a visit to Major Heuer in San
Franeisco not long ago,” Hinkeon said,
“and spent an entire forenoon in his
office talking about .the Sacramento
River.’ He had three maps there showing surveys made of the river in 1851,
1870 and 1895. These maps showed
that the bottom of the river had remained practically unchanged. The
same bars and shoals were shown to be
present to-day that were present in
early days. These bars and shoals had
ofcourse filled in to a great extent, but
the average fill throughout the river
would not exceed two feet. I, asked
Major Heuer about the matter and. he
said that the improvement of the bed

“He said that the filling in of the
sandbars had dammed up the water of

A NOVEL WAGER MADE.
Bill Holbrook Bets. ts #100 He Will Stay
4 Sober a Year.
William Holbrook, a well-known local,
character, madea novel wager today.
He bets $100 worth of laboragainst $100
in coin.that he will keep. sober for a
period of one year from date.
“Win it? I just wish I was as sure
of going to heaven as 1 am that I'll pull
down that money when the year is up.”
said Billy to the TRANSCRIPT man.
“They don’t known me if they think I
can’t stand the strain. [Jl tell you
privately, ’'ve got a dead} easy cinch.
AlLT'll have to do to keep sober is tonot
iake the first drink. Just what bothers
me is to know how to invest the wealth
to the best advantage when I have
earned it. I’ll come around when the
time comes and get your advice on that
point.”

the river and caused it to overflow its. banks; that by building wing dams and
causing these bars to be washed out
that the river could be restored to its
pristine glory, and if ocean vessels had
been able to ascend to Sacramento in
early days, as reported, it would not be.
a difficult matter to put the river in
such a condition that they could again
ascend.”
A WONDERFUL VOICE.
The Singing of Arthur Donaldson Who
Plays “Yon Youson.’”
A curious feature about “Yon Yonson” which comes to the theater at this
city on Friday evening of next week
under the direction of Thall & Kennedy, is that its popularity seems to
increase with each successive season
that it is on the road. “Yon Yonson”
is undeniably one of the most thrilling
stories that is told upon the stage togay. And its scenes, which are laid in
the lumber camps, are particularly interesting both to the theater-goers who
are familiar with them and aiso to these
to whom they are a povelty. The great
scene of the play isin the second act
and represents most faithfully a “log
jam.” It issaid to be one of the most
realistic scenes ever put upon the stage
and to those who are familiar with the
timber cutting country, it is especially
interesting. The company which Messrs. Thall & Kennedy have engaged
for “Yon Yonson” is said to be the
strongest that has ever been seen in
the play. The title role is played by
Arthur Donaldson, one of the best
barytones in the country,and one of the
features of his performance will be his
singing of Swedish folk songs in their
original language. Another member
of the company who is a player of note
is Annie Mack Berlein, who plays the
Widow Laflin. Annie Mack Berlein, . was for years the Gretchen with Joseph
Jefferson and is one of the best charac.
» ter.women in the dramatic profession.
Besides these two, there are in the company Beatrice Norman, Grace Hazard,
Edith Hah, E. J. Mack, E. Guy Spangler, Clinton Maynard, Sidney Craven,
George Lund, William Konst,\ and the
celebrated Lumbermen’s Quartette.
An Artistic Exhibition.
e
Those people who fail to see the
kinetoscopic entertainment at the Congregational church this evening will
miss an exhibition that is both instructive and beautiful. The views in
Hawaii, the Philippines and our other
new possessions will alone be worth
much more than the very low price of
admission.

“Yon, it’s a fact I have made such a
wager with Mr. Holbrook,” admitted a
prominent citizen today, “and the
money isup. I've been thinking the
matter over since then, however, and
Tve about made up my mind that I’m
a chump of the first water. You see if,
the gentleman should by any special
dispensation of Providence keep sober
he would get the money. Now if he
doesn’t keep sober the chances are that
he’ll be smart.enough to keep drunk,
and therefore unfit for work, so long
that the account will be outlawed. I
appear to be up against it either way.”
