In Running Order.

But little rain fell in this city yester-
day-only slight shower or two-unti-
8 o'clock, when a heavy but brief one
came from the north, accompanied by a
sharp hailstorm. The latter was also OF
brief duration.
The river almost reached the twenty
two-foot mark on Saturday night, but
fell nearly foot yesterday. Great guam
titles of driftwood, logs and debris have
been floating down.
Many of the logs from the boom above
Folsom have been stopped by river boat
men and made into RATS, which are Sc
cured along the Yolo side of the river.
Among the collections of driftwood,
timbers and logs secured by the boatmen
yesterday were the roofing and roof tim
bers of good-sized house. The rem
nants of the house are said to have come
down the American, but no one seemed
To know from what point, or whose house
it was.
UP THE VALLEY FRESHETS.
There was trouble again yesterday on
the up-valley railroads, and trains were
very Irregular.
The rain of Friday night caused another
Washout OF the railroad track below
Wheatland. The Red Bluff local for Sac
ramento came by the way of Knights
Landing on Saturday morning and the
evening train, which was late, arrived
over the same route. Thu same old
Washout over again caused the north and
southbound Oregon express to go by
Willows.
A number of grain fields bordering on
the slough near Pennington, Sutter
[ T,o
overflow of Butte Creek.
A gentleman from Wheatland informed
the MarysvlIle appeal on Saturday even
ing that several ranches are flooded.
Among them were A. w. OakIey's and
Joe Hollingshead's Between Wheatland

were washed out.
The bridge crossing Dry Creek at the
Inflow ranch had been washed out
1t was reported on Saturday that the
j Cline Bull new levee had broken and that
| the surrounding country was flooded.
The Feather River at O'Clock that even
ing was Is feet inches in hight.
The northbound Red Bluff express had
to remain in Marysville on Saturday
night, owing to the water at Feather
River bridge being from two and half to
three feet over the track
The north and southbound Oregon ex-
press trains were run yesterday morning
by the Willows route, on account OF
| leather and Bear River washouts
DAMAGE AT THE HoNCUT.
The Marysville appeal of Yesterday
says it is doubtful if the Oroville train
can get to moving within week. The
damage to the track just below Honcut
! for nearly two miles will take several
! days toTepair.
| The Leach tlume was blown down from
| the station as tar as can be seen up toward
| the mountains, and it will require SO. OOO
! to repair the damage. A good many
barnes and some small houses were con
| slderabiy damaged in the community.
| If the downpour had continued a few
! hours longer the town would have been
| flooded. Honcut Creek is very innocent
| looking IN dry weather. but has a swell
| ing capacity that Is wonderful to behold.
THE CHICO ROUTE OPEN.
Yesterday all the injuries to the track ol
the main Oregon line were repaired, and
last nights Portland express train passed
| through this city, going by way of Rose
vile and Marysville.
The road from Marysville to Oroville
will probably be in running order by to-
morrow.
