Oregon railroad at Upper Soda Springs,
Cal, above Dunsmuir. The great avail

came down at that point on Monday,

yesterday, and Superintendent Fillmore
says it will take As hours at least, and

Shasta route cleared. No passenger
train was sent out last night. In it's
place force of 100 additional men was
dispatched from Oakland to aid the 400
or more already on the scene of the
eatacIysm. They took with them two
of the largest hydraulic pumps of the
monarch pattern, which will be placed
ct work at once on arrival.
The Sacramento river goes rushing
past close to the track at the location OF
the blockade, and it's waters will be util-
lied by the great rams to cut away the
immense mass of rocks and earth there
piled up. The slide of Monday ex~
kended distance of 1000 feet. and the
mass of debris ia piled up to a depth of

mento was damned mp by the falling
material to depth of go feet. 1t was a
herculssn work for the force of men to
clear away the mountain Of obstruction.
They set about it with q will, however,
and kept up their efforts until noon
yesterday, when another immense guam
tity Of earth and debris came down on
therails from the hillsides, 1400 feet
above. and obliterated all the work that
had been done.

An Irats Father at Elsinera Compels q
Faithless Swain to Keep
His Vows.

RIVERSIDE, Jan. 23.-News was re-
ceived in this city today OF a shooting
scrape at the Frank Head mine, near
Elsinore, yesterday. in which A. Jepson
shot Fl. @. Baker. The cause of the
shooting was Bakers familiarity with
a daughter of Jspson. Baker had been
keeping company with the girl and has
broken several promises OF marriage.
The father learning OF the where's
abouts of the recreant lover, who was
only recently liberated from the county
jail after having served two months for
battery in connection with the same
trouble, hunted him up and commanded
him to throw up his hands.
Baker was armed with a rife, but
obeyed the command long enough to
throw Jepson off guard. Then he
started to run, when Jepson fred. the
charge taking effect in the fugitive's
legs. Baker at once agreed to marry
the girl, and license was procured.
Baker is not seriously injured.

psnies feel no abatement of confidence
that they will win. The success with
which the Atlantic avenue company has
met in its efforts to operate its lines uns
doubtedly had its influence on President
Norton in this matter. That the strikers
made the overture after having been
several times repulsed in the same
quarter may be regarded as an indica-
ton that they have lost some confidence
and are anxious for peace. Indeed. it is
alleged that for three days the highest
hope has been that they might be able
to extort from the companies the con-
cession that those who abandoned their
cars 10 days ago should be reinatated
and that the new hands brought here to
take their places be discharged.

Thousands of Acres of Farming Laud

WOODLAND, CAL, Jan. %. - Cache
creek was higher today than ever be-
fore. and the break in the railroad this
side of tho creek is not less than two
miles in length. The rails and ties were
lodged against fences and swept into
adjoining fields. On the Knights land
ing branch the road lie washed out in
several places. 1t will be two or three
days before the trains can run over the
road between Woodland and Yolo. and
longer than that before the Knights
landing branch can be used.
Enormous volumes of wat er came down
Cache creek yesterday. The levee broke
on both sides and the water spread over
a vast area of country. Many of the
farms northwest OF town were flooded,
and on some OF them the water was
three or four feet deep. Knights Land.

water. The river now stands within
! foot inches OF high water mark, and
is still rising. The food water iro m the
tule basins on both sides of the river is
the high land on the Fair ranch will
soon be covered.
A cross levee near the Langenour
place, which protects 5000 acres of re.
claimed land, broke and the land was
flooded. The principal sufferers were
Messrs. Collier, Roseberry, Provost,
Beck, Simmons Bros, L. o. Ham and
Lefevre. Over 800 acres of S. Wrighes
farm are covered with water. All the
river farmers must now depend upon
the summer crops that they can plant
after the floods subside.
ORCHARDS UNDER WATER.
At Winters no further damage to the
county bridges is reported. Water is
standing in a great many orchards in
this district and if the weather contin-
ues wa.m while the water ia standing
around the trees great damage will re-
suit. At Capay, Cache creek was 10
inches higher than ever before. The
Cache creek bridqs was considerably
damaged by being struck by q floating
tree. About 800 feet of the grade OF the
north approach was washed away. Two
bridges on the county road between
Yolo and Blacks were swept away by
the frsshet. The water is still running
over the top OF the Drldge between
Blacks and Knights Landing. and there
are places in the road where the water
is deep enough to swim horses.
HAD TO SWIM FOR IT.
DR.. Lawhead and Bert Armstrong
came neer losing their lives yesterday
while attempting to drive in from North
Yolo. They encountered strong current
of water in the county road. The buggy
was capsized and the men were COM

by Roy Woodward, WHO was on horses

is being agitsted among the members

view to solving the race problem in the

1t is urged that the climate is similar to

the conditions of life and surroundings
