Invitations sent Sacramento River Below Sea Level SACRAMENTO The prediction made recently by N. R. Taylor, jneterologlst of tha U. S. weather bureau at Sacramento, that the Encramento river soon would reach Jhe zero mark, has come true. Lust Friday shortly after 8 o'clock p. m., at the low ebb ot the tide, the weather bureau guage registered two-tenths of a foot be low zero, which also Indicated that the surface of the dream had fal len to the remarkably low depth of seven-tenths of a foot below the mean sea level of the Pacific ocean. That the river will go even sev eral Inches below its present rec ord now is believed possible, al though Taylor says the Instru ments In his office almost reached their maximum registration ca pacity with that night's stage. The significance of tbe river nt:tpr Sarramento being seven-tenths of a foot below the mean sea level, explained Taylor, is of more in terest than most people realize. He said it meant the average level of the Pacific ocean near the mouth of the Sacramento river is higher than the surface of the river. There Is water in the river chan nel at varying depths, and the boats still are running between Sacramento and San Francisco. However, the water lies in basins or depression in the bed that are just that many feet below the ocean's level. In looking up some old records, Taylor has found there were four dry years, dating from 1849 to 1EB3, when the river went to zero at the dryest period of each re spective year. Taylor says these, perhaps, arc roHiiinnnl and no' true records of the stream and not the datum, of the guage as it now is officially ; cuiQhit.hoH iih absolute correct i pltitudlnal readings. New York Giants After Ken Lillyl J. Kenneth Lilly, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. R.

Several coast league teams have been nnxlous to sign him up for a couple of years past accept if he does decide to take up ball playing as a profession.

In this By Carl I). Grout j work tlle wurieu in being aided (U, P. Staff Correspondent.) HERLIN, June 28. (By Mail.) Recognition of Russia was coun selled here today by Mrs. Philip Snowden of the British Labor Mission to Russia, as tho safest means of heading Russia off from development into an "Imperialis tic, capitalistic and militaristic nation with a Napoleon at Its head, threatened all Europe." Her plea was not based on pro bolshevism, for the commission has not come out as "pros." Bol shevism, she declared, had failed to live up to its own standards. rnd as for its extension to other property of Mr. Hill's, lands, Mrs. Snowden regarded i Will Add tSory that as out of the question. i Mr. Hill has made plans for the "But," she said, "I believe that Immediate additiou of a second recognition of Russia by the rest ; siory to the building which is of the world would be the quick-1 a large single story brick build est way to alter the system there ing extending from Main street and correct the evils now existing. back to Ashland creek.

As for the condition of women in Russia, Airs. Snowden declared "They are on an a,80llteiy equal footing with men. They re ceive the same pay for the same work, have equal suffrage, and are everywhere treated at men's equals. The Industrial situation is such that all women must work. "As for the children, I cun say that there is a strong effort to upbuild the growing generation. The former nobles' estates are converted into fresh air homes for groups of children, and insofar as possible, the children are given prelerential food treatment." Mrs. Snowden regards the pres ent Russian system as despotism, just as despotic as czarism though on quite opposite lines. But she believes, as does Dr. Guest of the commission, that a certain amount of capitalism wii be in jected ultimate! ylnto the bolshe vistic regime. INDEMNITY FIXI) I'SEI) IT SALEM, Ore.
