Farmers Confronted by
Gloomy Prospect.

WOODLAND, CAL, Jan. %. - Cache
creek was higher today than ever be.
fore and the break in the railroad this
side of the creek is not less than two
miles in length. The rails and ties
were lodged against fences and were
swept into the adjoining fields. An
enormous volume OF water came down
Cache creek yesterday.
The levee broke on both sides and the
water spread over vast area of coun-
try. many farms northwest of town
are flooded and on some of them the
water was three and four feet deep.
Knights landing is surrounded by a
perfect sea. The river now stands with
in one foot four inches of high water
mark and is still rising. All the river
farmers must now depend upon the
summer crop that they can plant after
the floods subside.
