The relation of the great chain c bays that stretches from the Golden j Gate to the mouth of the Sacramento river is so intimately connected with iho dangers that threaten that river's ruin that to investigate and discuss the subject of debris only in connec tion with that great stream would be to leave the most conspicuous portion of the work bnt in part done. He wcnld be a dogmatic skeptic "who, af ter a trip up the river audits conflu ent waters, would attempt to main tain that the obstructions in its chan nels are temporary, aud curable by natural laws. The number of those who, for years, have marked the rapid changes in their progress, is too great to be reasonably charged with error in judgment The fact that stringent legislation hits been deemed necessa ry to control the evil is, in itself, an indisputable evidence that the dan geis are not imaginary. It must be conceded, then, that navigation of the Sacramento, if uot ruined, is so impaired as to startle the engineer wha would be called upon to estimate ths cost of its salvation. Also, that 3u.buu bay has been altered from a deep lr.y, in which the largest ships eould Vide, to a shallow lagoon, must b confessed. These self evi dent piopiwtions have each the same coroh..ry. That corollary is, that what has been demonstrated by fif teen years of proof each year mak ing Unit proof stronger in Suisuu bay and the Sacramento must in turn become demonstrable of Saa Pablo bay and the straits of Carquincz. Witnesses, earnest and willing ones, though when unassisted impotent to correct tho dangers they see ahead, are to be found in nearly every slip on the city frout To bo of value he must have had an observation of more than two or three years, aud should be an experienced pilot or captain who can recall the deep waters beforo they were tinged with the earth that has become as an avant count r to warn off the great army that follows. Such witnesses a representative of the Call has seen and from them gathered the testimony that tells of pronounced and unmistakable chang es now on record on the shores of Carquinez straits and tho bay of San Pablo. From them he has learned that at the wharf of J. L. Ileald's Agricultural Works the depth has begun to diminish. At the large new mills of Starr fc Co., though as yet business has not begun, the yellow trespasser has made its presence known and will before long very de cidedly affect the value of the prop erty, so far as water conveniences for shipment are concerned. "Where tho Selby Smelting Works have located is a blroug current that prevents tho settlement of r. sediment. The testi mony shows that at Port Costa, whero the clippers have been accustomed to take in their grain for Europe, the depth has materially decreased enough to make it evident that iho dredger must soon and often be cm ployed, or that lauding cea3S to bo of value for the specific purpoo il has been used for. At Uenicia the whirl of the tide sets the slickens in there so thickiy that its inner end needs frequent dredging. Still the bulk of tho testimony goes to show that the comparative narrow ness of these straits furnishes their greatest protection. It is where some lodgment is afforded upon or along the borders that tho effect is most noticeable. The sweep of the more crowded waters compels the motion which keeps the debris from forming obstructive settlement. However that may bo tho channel is narrower. At Mare island, between that island and South Yallejo, the channel is now hardly 200 yards wide, and on the rith of July, when tho sloop of war lianyer endeavored to turn around to come to the city to take part in the celebration, tho room for tho movement was scant. Some of the foreign mailer that the current of Carquincz straits pressed forward found a resting place on government ground. There is something sug gestive of the fitness of things in this occupation' Perhaps when the pe culiar rights of tho Uniled Stales aro infringed the motive for interference with the causes will bo more obvious. On both tho San Pablo and Sono ma side of San Pablo bay the gradu al formation of flats is remarked, and that, too, in places whero in 1S70 four or five fathoms of water were found by the lead. One party who had closely recorded tho changes said that in 1SGS he camo to anchor off the upper part of Seal island in seven fathoms of water where to-day at low water itis dry. Hear the Sonoma flats in 186S he could once sail close to tho tules and anchor. Now all this has filled, and it is filled apparently level. As a general thing such along-shore levels are said to have a grade of about three feet in tho mile, but here to all appearance, tho settlement has been uniform, marking where tho current ceases to be powerful. This chaunel is reported to bo of hard bottom and to still have the depth that the charts showed beforo tho slickens came down. Between Pablo point and Pinole point is a distance of about ono milo. In 1S63 to anchor here was common. To-day all tho space that would be included between the mainland and a line drawn from point to point is one hard sandbed. "What is true hero is true along tho borders. In otheiyrords, tho captains say the channels aro getting narrow- I er and narrower, though they main ' tain their former depths. These are ; Ihe facts related by those who know I whereof they speak. There is no motive for misrepresentation, and ' such testimony should carry weight . aud influence. A grievance that one keen captain :il!iitled to in connection with these bars that form parallel with the! shores of the bay was ono which sug gests an indirect injur)' to the state, and especially to tho people of San Francisco. He said: UI yon found such a shore at the east so near to all the conveniences of water communi cation it would bo dotted with thriv ing villages. Little wharves would be the regular adjunct to its business. Now,'" he continued, "the settlements are all inland, and as near as they can get to tho railroad. Nothing but a great corporation or a manufactur ing village of prominence could af ford to build a wharf the long dis tance needed to reach deep water. Then, too, constant additions would be required to meet the retreating water." This is a commentary on this branch of the slickens evil that illus trates forcibly its retardation of the growth of tho state in one of its most desirable directions. Tho hills now along those shores are almost as bald of dwellings as beforo tho United States acquired title to tho land. All the testimony goes to show that though much damage has been dono to the waters between the bay or ban Francisco and that of Suisnn yet it is not of such a character as to have ac complished an irremediable damage to navigation, yet it is so full of suggestions in what has been done of what must ultimately bo the result if the causes are to continue that it would seem very culpable for the cit izens of San Francisco to ignore the thrcatenings. It is to be summed up in this, that the bays and channels are narrowing though the channels maintain their depth. How long then, can the wide receptacles endure the accumulation : It will take many vears to reach Iho result, but it will none the less be certain. Carquincz straits must become narrower and morerar-id: tho bay of San Pablo form banks on either side with the open waterway between. Py that time tho bay of San Francisco will begin to show the effect Solid earth will form around the piers in Oakland to the great material advantago of tho riparian proprietors. The slips in San 1 rancisco will need more con stint dredging, and tho great ships that sail unhesitatingly to their an chorage will have to chooso their ground with care. It has taken fifteen years to fill tho Sacramento nnd Suisnn bay, and it may require fifty to reduce the inter vening bodies of water to the condi tion of a wido aud comparatively shallow river, tho banks of which shu'l bo unfertile sand, The hope that the cravings of man for gold will be satisfied caunot bo reasonably en tertained, any more than the hope that the long Sierras will have been exhausted of their rejected atoms. The remody is not to be found in any such puerile comfort The evil that has been allowed to develop and grow to the dimensions this has attained will not cease so long :i3 it is made evident it can be continued with im punity. The people of San Francisco have criticised the tolerance and in activity of the dwellers along the Sac ramento under tho imposition that has been put upon them. The experience is now to become local in this great cilv. Concerted action only can meet the ruin that will como nearer each month. The press has no small part of Ibis burden to bear.
