SAN JOSE, Feb. 1.-The result OF
yesterdays wind manifested itself
about o'clock this morning, when the
welcome rain began to fall Up to :
o'clock only DOL of an inch was precipi-
tated. The total for the season is us
inches, against 3.24 UP to- the same time
last year.
The unusually warm weather of the
past ten days or two weeks has adj
vanced vegetation most rapidly. In
some parts of the county almond trees
are budding. No other fruit shows
much advancement yet. Grain has
grown wonderfully, and should there
be cold weather it might suffer, as it
is exceedingly tender, resulting from
the rains first and warm sun since.

this morning a. short but sweet rain
fell. 1t was more in the nature of a
cloudburst in its suddenness. No ap-
probable amount has fallen since,
though the weather continues murky.

ing here at 8 o'clock to-night. Rain is
also reported from La Mesa and Escon
dido. The present rain is greatly need
ed. There is a very large acreage of
grain that is just up, and rain is need
ed to give it a good start. With a
moderate precipitation now the imme-
diate outlook for crops in this county
will be very bright.

an inch of rain fell in this city this af-
ternOon, and the indications tonight
point to more. There was a light shower

the crop conditions, and the small
amount received will partially overcome
the dry hot weather of the past ten
days.
FRESNO, Feb. There has been
only trace of rain here up to mid
night, though there is every Indication
of a heavy downpour tomorrow. Grain
in all parts of the county is doing we'll.

good rain. The warm weather for the
past week has caused fruit trees to bud
in many places, and it is feared that
frost following rain at this time will
do considerable damage.

gan falling here this evening with ev
