to help these young girls to become
neat and careful in their work ane'

Lately we have started a sewing
school for the young girls and all
kinds of sewing will be taught, be-

child will be allowed to 90 on with

DECISION FINAL

SAN JOSE, Feb. 12.-The attempt to

rior Court here to-day. H. L. Gear OF

to the trust created by the will set
aside and divided among the heirs.

dren, and at his own instigatiOn. In a
demurrer Gear was charged with work
ing in his own interests and against the
heirs. 1t is claimed he had obtained his
appointment of guardian by fraud
Judge Rhodes sustained the demurrer
of Mrs. Campbell-Parker and dismissed
the petition without leave to amend.
He also annulled the appointment Of

Storm Is Unbroken at Milton.

MILTON, Feb. 12.-More than two
inches of rain has fallen here since last
evening and the storm is still unbrokep.
The wind is blowing strongly from the
southeast, indicating a continuance of
the storm through the night. The
ground is thoroughly soaked and the
gulches are running full for the first
time this season, carrying the surplus
waters into the reservoirs and reliev-
ing the fears of the miners of any short
age for next summers operations. The
stages from Angels and Murphys are
stormbound at this place. The drivers
report that the small streams are rag
ing torrents and that some of them are
impossible. The water in the great
Salt Spring Valley reservoir has risen
several feet.

district The flood at this point was
caused by the taking out OF an old
storm sewer which in past years car
ried of the surface water. In grading
the street at this point some time ago
the sewer was filed up with the result
that the water gradually flooded the
district. Temporary drainage averted
the necessity Of stopping the engines
at this point.
The rainfall of the last twenty-fOuT
hours is said 10 be the greatest that
has occurred since 1S49. According 10
the observations of H NJ. Sanborn 5.11
inches has fallen, making a total pre-
cipitatiOn for the year 1906 inches. as
compared to 1916 inches for the cor
responding date last year.
The rainfall was so heavy that a
large portion of Telegraph and san
Pablo avenues and a portion OF East
Oakland were under water this mo. -

SANTA ROSA, Feb. 12-The storm
which began here yesterday forenoon
abated at noon to-day, but established
new record for downpours in this
city and vicinity Fran 10 a. m. Thurs
day until II o'clock to-day $40 inches
of rain fell here, bringing the total for
the season UP to 24.4S. At a corre-
spending date last season 22.66 inches
had fallen.
The storm caused So incon-
venience TO travellers from this
city, the Southern Pacific train
being tailed at FL Verano by
the water which covered tL- tracks.
Later the train returned here, being
unable to get through. Passengers and
mails were returned, the train backing
into the local station. The train crew
decided it was too dangerous to run
through the water, the tracks having
been found to be submerged from the
crossing of Sonoma Creek, near Schen-
vile. far beyond Ell Verano. The Oc-
cidental stage and the rural mail car
rier on the Occidental route were kept
in this city to-day by the high water.
They found it impossible to cross the
lagoon either by way of the Sebastopol
or Forestville roads. Eoth bridges
were under water and the approaches
were covered for many yards. This
forced the abandonment of the trip

and many other streams were out of
their banks, while Santa Rosa Creek
ran full to the banks. The latter
stream rose rapidly during the night,
the rise being more than six inches per
hour for time. No damage has been
reported from any place in the county
up t. late hour. and it is believed
none has ,esulted.

Southern Pacific are blocked by heavy
snow and landslides and $50 feet of
snow sheds are reported TO have been

serious slides occurred on the eastern
slope of the range, where more than
400 feet of sheds were crushed. Two
forty to seventy-five feet. landslide

SNOWSLIDES CAUSE
RAILROAD BLOCKADES
Storm Is the Severest Experienced i'm
February In Nine Years.


The rainstorm yesterday was the
most severe that San Francisco has
experienced in February for nine years.
The rainfall amounted to 27S inches.
A depth of more than 10 inches was
registered on the eastern side of Mount
Tamalpais Showers were frequent and
violent all day throughout Central and
Northern California. The snowfall was
unusually heavy in the mountain sec
tions. The storm got as far south as
Fresno and then turned toward the
east. Last night 1t was making its
way slowly into Utah and Nevada.
The water supply for the year will
be materially increased by the storm,
according to Professor McAdie of the
Weather Bureau. Southeasterly winds
with clearing weather is the prediction
for to-day.
The severity of yesterdays storm was
keenly felt along the central line of
the Southern Pacific Company, where
considerable damage was done to the
snow sheds and traffic interrupted. Ad-
vices received at the office of the man.
ager of the company yesterday after
noon were to the effect. that trouble
was being experienced in the snow
sheds as result of slides. The storm
showed it's strength in the Sierras dur
ing the night and the reports received
at the railroad offices were that the
snow line had extended to Orel. which
is the first station this side of Blue
Canyon. A slide went through the
sheds a quarter of mile east of the
Butte Canyon bridge, between Crystal
Lake and Cisco. About fifty feet of
the side of the sheds was crushed in.
Work trains were Immediately dis
patched to the scene, but it was stated
at the compan. offices late yester-
day afternoon that it was uncertain
when the blockade would be raised.
Dispatches received last evening
stated that several other slides had
occurred along the Central Pacific line
and that many hundred feet of shed
sidings had been caved in East of
Smarts there are 300 yards of sheds
down, and it is reported that at Lake =
view 230 yards of sheds have collapsed.
Heavy rains on the mountain sides
caused the slides, which have not only
interrupted railroad traffic, but de-
stroyed telegraphic communication. A
large force of men was sent out yes
terday by the telegraph companies to
repair the damage to their lines
Train No. 8, due here yesterday morn
ing, passed through the sheds a short
while before the slide occurred, and
train No. 6. leaving here the night pre-
vious, was also successful. Trains Nos.
l and 5, scheduled to arrive here yes
terday afternoon, and No. 4, leaving
yesterday morning. were not so fortu-
nate and are now in the blockade.

and while no great damage was done
serious results were narrowly averted
in a number of instances.
The electric train of the new Key
Route ferry service lost a trip on ac-
count of the flooding of its tracks on
Adeline street, between Emeryville and
Lorin Station. One train had its mo-
tors badly burned through their COM
ing in contact with the waters on the
track, which were banked up owing
to a cut necessitated by the grading.
The 10 o'clock train was laid off and
workmen succeeded in draining the
flooded section so that the service was
not with interfered with further.
The Oakland Transit COmpany's en-
gine rooms, located at Twenty fourth

would have necessitated the shutting
