A SWEEPING STORM.
The Entire Northwest Drenched
OF Showed Under, ~
Hurricane Winds Cut Off Nearly All the
Weather Buresu Connections Traffic
Badly Impeded-

Yesterdays storm was unquestionably
the heaviest of the season. Nor was it in
any sense local. 1t spread with equal force
over pretty nearly the entire Pacific Coast
at least from the extreme north, even in
Guiding Montana, as far south as Tehachapi,
and to some extent in Southern California.
The center is located by the Weather Bu-
reau in Northern Washington. Chief
Kerkam is of the opinion that the depres-
sion will form long trough, in which event,
of course, its intensity Will be relaxed and
heavy winds will die away.
Late yesterday afternoon the indications
were that it would be fair and much cooler
in San Francisco to-day. These indications,
however. were not perfe thy reliable, as all
the coast station connections were down,
and the intensity Of the storm had to be
gagged by the velocity Of the wind at inte-
rior stations.
The station reports missing yesterday
morning were Tatoosh Island, Port An
geles, Fort Candy, Olympia Portland. Rose
burg, Baker City and Eureka, Cal. These
stations in stormy times are the most i'm
portant stations on the Pacific Slope. Ia
toosh Island usually gives the first warning
of an approaching cyclone. while Fort
Candy and Eureka tell in a measure the di-
rectiOn the storm depression will take and
what part of the Slope is to be affected.
On the Goth the winds at Fort Candy were
of hurricane force. lightweight miles an
hour, and the additional fact that all coast
connections have been since cut off gives
rise to some uneasiness lest the storm should
have been more serious than is known at
present.
From many southern points the report
- .I,~r hrn, or
less cloudy, and in some places slight rains.
Along the south coast, through Santa Clara
and Santa Cruz counties and in the Santa
Cruz Mountains. the precipitation has been
heavy, but not to exceed the normal.
Ia San Francisco the velocity of the wind
was but twenty-five miles yesterday morn
ing. What it was at the Heads the bureau
could not report because the Point Reyes
wire is also down. At Sacramento the wind
velocity was 2S miles, at Red Bluff 40 miles,
Carson 81, Ninuemucca and Nalla Nalla
"a. Helena, Mont, 81 miles an hour.
The rain fell in a mOnotonous driZze all
day long without a single cessation. For the
fourteen hours preceding o'clock in the
morning the local fall was 1.16 inches, and
for the twelve succeeding hours up to s
o'clock in the evening LOO, making the storm
total in this city 2.22 inches, a remarkably
heavy fall. The total fall for the year is
shown by months in the following table.

Two Floaters Taken to the Morgue for
Identification.
The deep sea gave up its dead twice yes
terday-Unce at the ocean beach and once in

and they are very badly decomposed.
About the one found at Ocean Beach
there are two theorieS-one that the body is
that of one of two men washed from the
deck Of the Corona while crossing the bar
on the 21st inst, or one of the two fisher
men drowned outside the Point about sew
enteen days ago. The body is SO badly de-
composed that it Will be difficult to recog-

"GERTIE is DEAD"
A Santa Cruz Man Seeking TidIDgs Of a
Missing Niece.

Secretary Hoesch of the Board OF Health
yesterday received letter from L. A. VIII
son of Santa Cruz, asking whether Mrs.
Gertrude Mccarthy, wife of Callahan C.
Mccarthy, had died in this city during the
past three weeks.
The woman is Wilson's niece, and lived
with his family for eight years. He parted
with her at Fresno on July 1st when she
came to this city to marry Mccarthy. He
did not hear from her again until about
three weeks ago, when he received mes
sage, "Gertie Is dead"
The message was not signed, and in his
perplexity Wilson wrote to the Health De-
partment to ascertain whether such death
had been recorded. No such name can be
found on the mortuary records of this coun-
ty, and her disappearance will have to be
traced th rough some other source.
