to estimate the loss TO orange growers.

into account. The total can hardly be
less than half million OF dollars.

WORK OF REHABILITATION.
When the waters receded on Tuesday
afternoon, the city and its business in
terests were in a bad plight. No trains,
no malls, no telegraphic communication
with the outside world. 1t seemed as il
| it would take months to get business re-
stored to the natural channels from
which the waters had swept it. The
several parties interested took the mat
| ter in hand with q most vigorous and
determined grasp. The day after the
disaster the S. P. had wire working to
Yuma, and by circuit nearly half way
round the world dispatch was got to
the main office in San Francisco Wreck
ing trains were called in from Yuma,
gang of 200 men was sent down from San
Francisco to attack the wreck at Ra-
vena. As large a gang was set at work
here on the bridges and washouts
along the river. In two days
the big bridge at the foot Of Mission
street was up and trains crossing, thus
re-establsh.ng communication and get
ting in mails from the East. By Satur-
day the track around the bluff was re.
paired and construction train pushed
up 10 where the bridge was washed
away, aud by Sunday night new
bridge spanned the rebellious stream.
Then the trains were hurried along to
the wash of the TujuLgas, where all day
yesterday 200 experienced men under
skillful direction were hard at work re-
building six miles of track carried away
at that point. To-day trains are going
out as far as Newhall and Langs. The
gang from here are now up in the Sole
dad Canon, working north to meet the
gang coming down from Ravena. 1t
Is hoped that by the middle Of the week
connection will be restored with San
Francisco.
When it is remembered that the track
to Santa Monica and that to San Pedro
