The outlook After the storm.

Up to the hour at which we write the
total rainfall for the season up to date
has been 7.56 inches, yesterday having
added 1877 inches to the total heretofore
chronicled. This ia nearly five times the
rainfall ever reported by the Signal Ser
vice Bureau here thus early in the season.
It is not only unprecedented in official
annals, but that would still be the case if
it had only been fraction of it's plethoric
volume. DR.. Den, DIR. John s.
Griffin, and the oldest inhabitants,
assert that it is absolutely without
parallel during their long residence in
California. DR.. Griffin says the season
resembles 1S49 more than any he can re.
call, but that it exceeds even that, in the
precipitation thus early. Many new
comers are ignorant of the fact that the
Pioneer year was the wettest known in
the State since the American occupation.
In 1S49 DIR. Griffin was residing in North
ern California and cannot give data as to
the rainfall in Los Angeles county.
There has been some damage from the
violence of the rainfall, but there are COM
pensating advantages which far out
weigh any drawbacks. Ventura county,
as far as heard from, has suffered most,
q portion Of the bean crop being de-
stroyed. Other losses from the foods
are reported from that section. In Los
Angeles county the damage is mainly
confined to some hay and grain which
were imperfectly protected. The
benefits accruing from the rains,
on the other hand, are an as
sured grass yield and plentiful
crops of all kinds, with only a minimum
rainfall for the rest OF the season. The
citrus fruits will benefit greatly by the
copious downpour. 1t will improve
the quality of the maturing fruit and will
stimulate the trees.
There have been some railway draw.
backs, but they are comparatively unim-
portant. The San Francisco train was
two hours behind time last evening, but
only few trifing landslides are known.
The greatest damage is reported
from the Southern Pacifc's branch to
Santa Monica. There appears to have
been cloudburst that poured terrible
food Of waters into the Cienega,- and
washed away bodily considerable por-
ton of the track. This will probably
cause at least a twenty-four hour suspen-
sion Of communication with the city by
the sea.
Several portions of the city have been
flooded, but no material damage is rel
ported. Some Of the streets were minia-
ture lakes, and at times the food poured
down Alameda, San Pedro and Second
streets like a mill.race. At one time
early yesterday morning the rain came
down with almost the violence and vol
ume of cloudburst, and it would have
tested severely any sewer or storm drain
system.
The outlook for the season and for
business is excellent and brisk times are
ahead for this section.

QUITE ENCOURAGING.
The vanderbilts to Build the Utah
Short Line.

New York, October 23.-The World
this morning prints a lengthy story to
the effect that an alliance has been
formed between the Chicago and North
western and the Union Pacific RAILWAYS.

harmony. The agreement has been
ratified by the Board of Direct
ors of both companies. The World
draws the deduction that as the North
