The Pacific coast branch OF the United states
weather bureau predicts that the contlnoed
rains of the past five days will cause HOODS
throughout the state. The rivers are already
overlooking their banks and the tule lands are
filling. Farming operations on the iowlands
tire state except the extreme southeastern por-
ton has had all the rain desired. At Red Bluff
Colusa and other points along the Sacramento
the river is brimming over. The danger point
has already been reached, and both the Amer
lean and Feather rivers are also TOO hlgh.

certainty that the rise will continue Tor fortv-
eight hours longer, even without more rain,
The downpour still continues with little prob
ability of clearing within twenty -four hours.
An amended complaint was filed yester-
day in the injunction proceedings against
the supervisors to restrain them from pro-
ceeding further to carry out the new pri-

terday put o. W. Langdon to work assist
ing in preparing the lists. Langdon put in
his demand for one days work last even
ing, at the rate of $50 per month, which
was allowed by the board. The auditor
will probably refuse to audit the demand,
and mandamus proceedings will be insti-
tuted. BY this means it is believed all the
points involved can be passed upon.
