An Unlucky Spot,

TACOMA, December 26 The Portland
train on the Northern Pacific, which left
here this morning, ran off the track near
Bucoda, where tho accident occurred
last week. Three coaches left the track,
and the passengers were badly shaken
up. Several were seriously injured. The
accident was caused by the spreading Of
the rails. A passenger train was ditched
in about the same place last week.

The Rain and the CROPS.

The continuous and heavy rains of the
current month have retarded the seeding
of the ground intended for wheat and
barley, and the soaked condition of the
soil will still further retard the putting
in OF these crops. But it must not be
inferred from these facts that the inter-
ests Of the grain-growers are materially
threatened or jeopardizad by these cir.
cumstances of the season. In the frat
place, there was good deal of grain in
the ground before this protracted storm
set in. In Antelope valley there is an
unusually large acreage in, and these
Rims will insure fine harvest. These
statements would be true of nearly all
sections of the county.
In the second place, Los Angeles
farmers have an advantage over their
brethren in toll in all other agricultural
sections of the globe. This lies in the
volunteer crops of grain that SO often
gladden. the heart of the granger here.
abouts, which come to him as the scrip
tural clothing to the lilies of the field, or
the food sent by kind providence to
the birds. The granger tolls not,
neither does he spin, for these
gifts OF the ground, and yet few
regions of the earth under the most dill
gent tilth yield more abundant harvests
than these spontaneous benefactions of
teeming soil. This year these volun.
teer crops Of wheat and barley will be
general on all stubble lands and they
will be remarkably heavy. For hay and
for grain to be used for feed, there will
be enormous crops of grain which will
cost the farmer nothing but the gather
ing. Two or three tons of hay, or ten or
fifteen sacks of grain, obtained in this
easy way, will be general rule. There
will be most abundant supply of feed
Of all sorts for the various classes of
stock, and its cost will be merely of a
nominal character.
Thirdly, there will be time still to seed
q great deal of land. We're it not that
the volunteer crops are usually dirty, be-
cause OF the grass and other seeds mixed
with the grain, there would be no me-
cessity to turn sod in this county this
year. But for milling, brewing and ex-
port purposes this volunteer grain is not
80 good. So the farmer will pick out the
most promising portion of his land, and
let the crop now on it mature for hay, or
for grain intended for feed purposes.
The other portions he will plow at bis
leisure during the coming three months,
and by the 1st Of April there will be a
large area seeded to barley and wheat
for brewing. milling, export and seed.
As to corn, the year will be an excep-
tional one for it's growth. There is hardly
bit of mesa soil in the county, even OF
the lightest varieties, where corn will
need irrigation after these rains. Where
it is put in during April, SO as to catch
the late spring showers, and where it is
kept clean during its growth. it will turn
out marvellous harvests.

VALLEJO, CAL, December 26.-The

today at Mare Island navy yard. Com
man der Louis Kempff formally turned
the cruiser over to Captain George
Remey. The American Jack and the

masthead. The band of the receiving
ship Independence played the "Star
Spangled Banner" as the flag was raised.
Commodore A. E. K. Benham and the
officers attached to the navy yard, and a
large number of other prominent persons,

perhaps four or mora times each winter.
Heavy summer rains frequently result
in the same interruption of travel and
business.
San Francisco is peculiarly happy in
her topography as to the disposition of
her storm-water. She sits on hill,
or a series of hills, from the
top of which to the bay the distance is
not great. Her sewers carry off the
storm-water. Every sewer is storm
water drain. At each street corner there
is catch. basin that takes the water of
block into the sewer, and away it goes
down a steep fall into the bay. The
streets are paved, and there is not much
detritus swept into the sewers.
But such plan would not work at all
here. To take the water from Angelefo
Heights and near the Sisters Hospital,
from all the region near the Second
street Park-in word, the whole water
shed from reservoir No. 4, where
Bellevue avenue and Lake Shore avenue
meet, down along the Arroyo de los
Reyes, past the Normal School to Sixth
street, and out Grand avenue or Pearl
street to- Washington and thence outside
the city, is something no drain
can be built to accomplish in a
rain like that we have just passed
through. If the streets were all paved
and only water went into such drain, if
it were twenty feet in diameter it would not
carry the flood. AS it is, with the sand,
debris and rubbish swepi down by the
flood from unpaved streets, drain fifty
feet in diameter would be choked up,
and there would result damage incalcu-
liable.
In fact, the disposition Of storm water
from unpaved streets is very difficult
question. Usually, where streets are
not paved the improvements are few,
and the property in Jeopardy not valu.
able. 1t is more or less an open country.
With us it is different. The rapid growth
of the population has densely peopled
sections of the city where there are no
paved streets yet. While this is 30 we
shall have to make up our mind to
undergo a good deal of discomfort in
heavy rains, and. the damage of property
will be unavoidable.
But where the streets are graded in
cities of magnificent distances like ours,
the very alphabet of engineering teaches
that storm.water must be kept above
ground as long as possible, and pre-
vented from concentrating as much as
possible. The streets are the proper
conduits for it, and where they are we'll
paved but little damage can follow, and
but little discomfort accompany the
rains. The minimum of both results
under such circumstances. Make each
street carry its own storm-wstef as far
as possible, and let two streams get to-
gether as seldom as may be.
The great danger, OF course, is in
basins, where the water of many streets
forms confluence. Here there will be
and must be danger to property and dis
comfort to residents. But they bought
their property in hole, and ought to
bear the consequences. It was their own
selection, and they ought to be prepared
to see water run down hill. In such dis
tricts the sidewalks ought to be placed
from foot to perhaps three feet above
the streets, and entrances to cellars ought
to be we'll guarded.
There is about the philosophy of this
matter, in brief.

IMPOVEKIsHED STATES.
The Two DakOtas Starting i'm Wit
Empty Treasurles.

Bismarck, N. D., December 26.-Gov.
ernor Mellette says South Dakota will be
obliged to close up some of her institu-
tions, as the receipts of the State will
fall so short Of the expenses that there
is apparently no other alternative. In
North Dakota Governor Miller, in his
message to the Legislature, estimated
the deficiency for the first year at nearly
$156, 900, and called attention to the i'm
perative need and importance of the
strictest economy in all the departments
of the State. Subsequent developments
show that the Governor underestimated
the deficiency, and the outlook is little
better than bankruptcy if his advice is
not followed.

REDDING, Cal, December 26 The
northbound train on the California and
Oregon road has been delayed here all
day, caused by the caving in of tunnel
near Kennett. A Car in the middle Of a
freight train had on board snow shovel,
the derrick of which, being higher than
the tunnel, struck the timbers, causing a
cave and fastening the cars in the tun-
mel, with.the caboose at one end and the
engine at the other at the outside of the
tunnel. It is expected to have the road
clear tonight.

Monday morning witnessed q sensation

the train at Gloucester road station. Seated
opposite me were pale, middle-aged lady
and slim youth hardly out Of his teens.
Next to them was burly-looking squire,
evidently up on q visit. We were going
downward, and at South Kensington a
thickset young man got in, who pumped
himself down by my side. He had lighted
cigarette In his hand, and as the pungent
blue smoke curlcd into the lndy's face she
coughed and looked distressed.
Tue youth said: "This Is not smoking

kind" "Then shall make you" said the
lad, whose face paled. He arose, when tho
other put out a fist, a single blow from
which would probably have crippled that
poor youth.
And now q singular thing happened. The
burly squire, who had remained passive,
quietly produced something that glistened
and before you could count three there was
aclick and the young man with the cigar
ette was handcuffed. Said the burly one:
You'll pick up your cigarette and put It
out of the window, and then you'll apollo
gize to the lady and young gentleman for
having brought lighted cigarette into a
