OCTOBER RAINS.
The season Developing Strange
Features for This Section.

Features for This Section.
The present season is developing
strange features in the way of early rains.
Beginning with the season Of 1889 and
coming down to the present, period of
IL years, the first rains here fell as fol.
lows: December %, October IL, October
s, October %, October 1, October "a,
October 9, October Is. October 10, Sep
tember 26, October IL and this year
August 81.
For the same period the precipitation
for the months Of August, September and
October has always been very ligut. In
the twelve years preceding this the rain
fall in August has been confined to three
years. In 1887 there was fall of 2-100
of an inch; in 1886 one Of 2-100; in 1888
of 10 100. The precipitation in Septem-
ber has been but little more. In 1885
5-1O0 of an inch fell in 1885, 11-100;
in 1887, IS 100; in 1888, 3-100.
The October rains for the twelve years
prior to this have been quite regular.
Some rain has fallen in this month every
year.
In 1886 the precipitation came to only
2 100 of an inch, and in 1882 it was only
100. The rainfall reached an inch only
once in all these years, that was in 1888,
when there was precipitation Of LAP
inches. August is one Of the dry months
and any rain is unusual in it. Including
this year, not one has brought more than
one rainy day to the season. The same
| is true of September in almost equal de-
gree. In October the number of rainy
days varies at from one to four, there be-
ing usually two or three days in the
month. The average rainfall for
August in twelve years is 3-100 of
one inch, for September the same, and
for October 47-100
The rains this year began fully six
| weeks earlier than the average OF the
whole time since the Signal Service
office was set up in this city. That was
on the last day of August when between
| noon and 10 O'Clock at night 64-100 Of
an inch fell. This year there was no
| rain in September, which followed the
normal condition of that month. But
| this October is record breaker of the
worst sort. On Saturday the 18th, q
rain Of about 24-100 Of an inch fell, if the
| memory of the reporter serves him right.
That would not much signify, were it
not for the storm just closed. 1t
! began to rain Sunday morning
about 8 O'Clock, and continued we'll into
the afternoon. The total precipitation
for these hours was the extraordinary
amount of 3.16 inches Of water. That is
nearly seven times the average of the
preceding twelve years. 1t is twice as
much as the average for November in
the twelve years, and nearly as much as
that for December.
The rain is pretty general all over the
State. although at noon of yesterday no
rain had fallen south of Santa Ana, nor
so far east as Riverside. Later in the
day it began to rain at San Diego, and
may have done so at Riverside. If so,
some of the raisin crop is caught out.
There is very general tradition in this
State that early rains are not productive
of good seasons. Leaving out of the
question the months Of August and Sep
tembsr as not cutting much of figure
in the question, the data for twelve years
runs like this:

NEWS NOTES.

The City Council will meet at ten
O'Clock this morning and busy session
is expected.
The ladies of Frank Bartlett Relief
Corps will give an Apron and Necktie
party, tomorrow evening, at G. A. R.
Hall, Mcdonald block, Main ct.
A meeting of all those interested in

called for this afternoon at 2 O'Clock, al
No. TIT Hope street.
The residents of the Vernon district

The Board of Education will meet
this evening. The school sites and new
school buildings will be discussed. Bids
are due for school desks but it is expected
that further time will be asked in order
to give eastern bidders chance.
Amongst the other devaststions of the
rain has been the partial defscement oil
some of the elegant frescoes in the upper
chambers of the splendid new restaurant
of Jerry ulich. This has been due to
objectionable neglect upon the part OF
the carpenters who finished off the roof.
It is scarcely agreeable, after having
erected the most complete restaurant in
California, for Hitch to be obliged to
recognize poor work in any detail Of the
edifice. However. it is pleasant to the
gourmands to know that the fresco can
