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.

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

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.

Sweet Dream of
Many Years Ago
. A farmer raised a deuce of a
row in a local grocery store the
other day when told that sugar
was selling at 25: a pound. He
ranted and roared about "small
town profiteers," claiming that
sugar was selling in Portland at
20 pounds for a dollar. j
The incredulous grocer urged!
the farmer to "prove it." j
The farmer produced a copy of;

read: "Sugar is selling in Port-!

The grocer called his attention
to the heading of' the column, it
was the "Twenty-five Years Ago" I
column.
The farmer took home four
