incidents of the day as a crew of foot-ball
boys after having won a game.
The rival company had got the news that
the S. Y. C. Company were on the ground
with a small force of men, and had possession of the only point where a canal to
come threugh the gap could get a starting
place on the Yuba. They seem to have
concluded they had been outgeneraled, and
that the jig was up unless by seme such

'__granee and tonic of pine in it and cooling inThe Building of the Immense South
Yubd Canal.
[By E: L. Rew}
Continued. .
About a mile and a half above the gap
was a natural dam for the head of the canal.
A little more fall to distribute between the
two points than was needful, and yet it was.
well enough, as it permitted the water to
be hurried outof the cold canon and into
the warm valley as though fired out of a
gun. The two sides of the almost perpendicular granite walls throw out projections,
° or a spur frem each side at that point, that
narrow the channel to a few feet. Some
Titan of old hurled down a chunk of granite as big as a house from the cliff above on
the south side and closed up the defile,
creating a stretch ef quiet water below. In
other werds the dam was ready built. All
that was needed to complete it was a little
planking, and calking of the chinks to stop
the leaks, This very work I helped do, and
so speak from personal knowledge of the
completeness of this natural dam. . A -tunnel cut through the projecting ledge from
the south side would tap the quiet pool—
just what was done; and all the flumes being
below the fall and tunneled ledge it would
be above the reach of floods. I have heard
of its being damaged only once in all the
years since it was built, and it must have
been a tremendous rush of water through
the gorge.
This superb site, in truth the only feasible one for taking out the water through the
gap, had been found and claim made to it
by D. A. Rich. The rival company, known
to us as the “English Company’ —but—why.
the name Ido not know unless for the reason that they expected to sel] out to some
English company—made a location for their
canal in the gap, and built a fine log house
there, and made a few rods—perhaps a
dozen—ofcanal-inthe only. soft spot~of
ground there was, and puta man there to
see that nobody stole it.
They -seem-not-to-have lit upon this -natural dam until too late to do much but d—m
those who got ahead of them. But their
bit of canal in the gap compelled the South
Yuba Company folks to “‘shove over” a little to the north, and so close to the bare
granite ledge that the solitary sentinel had
the satisfaction of seeing them pounding]
rock to get throvigh at the grade they
wished, where otherwise they would have
had soft digging, and avoided quite a bend
in the flume,
At a guess as td the most convenient lo
cation for the work in hand above the gap,
about as far up the Yuba as we could get
‘any way, we built a snug one-room cabin of
cedar logs—as good so far as the wood material was concerned as King David’s royal
house of ‘‘cedar trees” on Mille. The site
is through the thick forest beyond. the gap,
on the south bank of the Yuba, between a
censiderable rapids and the foot of a granite
‘cliff 300 feet high, the upper half of nearly
perpendicular bare rock; just above where
_ @ bridge now crosses the river, the road
leading up Jordan canon toward Bewman’s
.Ranch, and ‘‘Grouse Heaven.”
One day shortly_after we moved in-I-eut
with my pocket-knife a green stick an inch
and a half in diameter and five or six feet
long;,planted it on the bare rock tep of that
cliff by piling recks about the base of it;
fastened my handkerchief to it along one
edge and then yelled dowam to those in the
cabin to come out and salute my improvised
flag; which they did and heartily with
cheers and clapping of hands. It flopped
in the wind till the last thread was gone,
and that was not till after the canal was
completed. As much as ten years after my
father wrote me that my flagstaff: was
“still there.” On November 7, 1887, more
than thirty-two years thereafter, I climbed
Again to the top of that cliff, and the man
with whiskers streaked with gray found the
weather-beaten base of that flagstaff planted
by the beardiess boy, and which I new have
in a locked drawer as a cherished keepsake .
Into this cabin we moved, and with the
roar of the Yuba continually in our ears,
“abeve which Reasoner had great difficulty in
making his violin heard, we awaited the
opening of spring and the coming of the
surveyors.
With the coming of spring and the birds
and the surveyors, came also something else
we were not looking for, at least in the way
it came,
Charles Marsh, Daniel A. Rich and Dr.
W. J. Knox were also in the valley, and
because of the extra’ company to provide for
I was at the cabin by the Yuba getting a
supply of ‘‘grub” cooked in readiness for
their return at night, and for the breakfast
and lunch for next day..The appetites .developed by out-door life.in that mountain
atmespbere were something marvelous.
The difference between Bear Valley and
Nevada City in that respect is even noticeable, although only about twice the elevation above the sea. I have heard Charlie
Marsh say, after riding on horseback the
twenty-six miles from Nevada City to the
valley, as he eat with evident rélish a good
slice of fried bacon, that he could not “think
of eating” it at bome. Perhaps the ride
through the pure mountain air with franents with overpowering force they could
ima Rasa Powder to warraut tte superior ® Is Sutihihens fur the office of C ity Marshal at
dispossess them of this point of vantage.
At any rate this was just what was at—
tempted. The gap was not the key to the
situation, fer another canal could get
through it, or several for that matter. The
natural dam on the Yuba proved the strategic point, the Chateau: Hougomont in this
Waterloo, though the English were not the
lucky holders of it in this contest.

WOODS FULL OF ’EM.
But They Have Not Made Any
Public Appearance.
The Marysville Appeal says:
The woods are full of aspirants for nomination and election to the various offices to
be voted for at the coming general election.
It seezas, though, that most of the would be
candidates are hiding their light under a
bushel. They sanction the bandying of their
names on the highways apd in the byways
as candidates for this or for that, spread
broadeast type-written, ‘or imitations of .
type-written, circulars setting forth their
personal and particular qualifications and
merits for the filling of the trusts which
they desire that the dear people shall repose in them. This isnot the right way to
gvat the thing. Ifa man is worthy of the
support of his peers to create him a public
servant, he should come out inte the open
and advantage himself of the only real and
true medium by which he can come under
the public eye, either for good or for evil,
for better or for worse. That medium is
the publie press. It does not necessarily
follow from these remarks that a man in
presenting his candidacy “should announce
himself in: this or that particular newspaper
but he should use the avenue that leads
