TIME TO BEGIN
BRIDGE WORK
Harbor Commissioners Re-
quested to Remove OBJ
structiOns on Third Street

The. new bridge of the Santa Fe
Railway to span Channel Creek at
Third street engaged the attention of
the Harbor Commissioners at the reg
ular session yesterday afternoon. The
contractors are ready to begin the
work of bridge building, and therefore
il deyolves upon the Board of Public
Works and the Harbor Commission to
remove obstructions on Third street
A portion of the street controlled by
the city, as we'll as spaces under the
Jurisdiction of the State are occupied
for business purposes.
The style of the structure to span
the channel is the same as that used
in Chicago, where the river traffic is
very heavy. There is no draw, but
the bridge is raised on either side so
that the full width of the channel is
given to the passing craft. The Santa
Fe and Southern Pacific bear the chief
burden of expense in the bridge-build-
ing enterprise, but the public will de-
rive many conveniences. South San
Francisco will be brought into close re-
lation to the business region of the
city east of kearny and Third streets.

commission yesterday that space
would be cleared so that the work of
construction could begin at once. The
contractor offered to remove at his
own expense an old wharf. provided
the board would allow him to use it
for mixing cement during the bridge
building operations. The offer was re-
ferFed to the Chief Engineer.
Fred s. Stratton, Collector of Gus

gestion Of the United States Treasury

Commissioners to assign space for the

ferred to the Chief Wharfinger.

PUMPS WORK STEADILY.

At the Pierson district two pumps capable
OF pumping As. 600 gallons of water per minute
are kept steadily at work to keep out the seep-
age, for, should the rising waters spread over
that part OF the land. there would be tre-
mendous loss incurred. There is a cannery
on the Pierson District, in which all the as
paragus and fruits grown there canned.
Grand Island is threatened with ruin and
the entire length OF the levee in that district
is being patrolled by the farmers and their
help. At Rio Vista the water is one and a
half feet above the dock, and Front street the
principal thoroughfare OF the town. is entirely
submerged. The residents of the town say
that this is the first time the water has ever
risen over the docks.
Sherman Island was reclaimed a little
two years ago. and the owners OF property
there were just about to realize an income
from their lands. An Ss5, 600 dredger was in

some kind Of an accident 1t sank four or five
days ago.

STORM IN THE NORTH.
Farms and Stock Suffer Greatly In
MOdoc County.

IL DbONh NouiCE NTCdIH III
Modoc County.
ALTURAS, March 2.-The recent
floods here have been the highest in
years. Streams everywhere were be-
yond the control of their banks and
considerable damage was done.
Bridges and dams are washed away,
while mountain roads are ruined by
torrents, either being cut away so as
to be impossible or covered with de-
bris.
The town of Alturas was covered
with a sheet of water in some por-
tons attaining a depth of four or five
feet. Families along the river were
compelled to abandon their homes.
while on the first evening of the flood
the water backed up into the electric
light plant, extinguishing the fires in
the furnaces and left the town in to-
tai darkness.
The estimated loss of stock on the
range is appalling. The winds which
brought rains into the valleys and on
the foothills left a heavy fall of snow
in the mountains. On the winter
range north of Candy in this county
is fall of three or four feet of snow
on the level. Fifteen hundred or two
thousand head of horses are wintering
there, as the feed is good. except when
rendered unobtainable by such heavy
SHOWS. Cattlemen have been trying
to break trails into this vicinity in or
der to rescue these poor animals, but
without success. as their efforts were
ever thWarted by continually falling
and drifting snow. 1t is estimated by
the stockmen that they cannot pos
sibly save more than half of all this
vast herd under most favorable
weather now, and that if the storms
do not cease Immediately all will be
lost.

many levees, and to attempt to run a
steamer there is to risk the boat being
capsized on some levee
This morning some fifteen or twenty
men stood in a detected group on the
south wharf in this city, awaiting the
arrival Of the steamer Jersey They
had been tenant farmers on the Brack
tract and had accompanied their wives
and children to this city on the Jersey
last night. They were waiting to be
taken back so that they could help save
part Of their belongings. There were
between sixty and seventy persons liv-
ing on the Brack tract, and all were
renters. Last Monday they were told
that there was a possibility Of the levee
giving way, but they did not heed the
warning. 1t was nearly midnight when
the wild alarm was sounded that the
flood was coming.
Il could hear the men shouting and
knew what it meant" said j. J.
Pimentel' in telling of his experience.
L told my wife to get the babies and
some food ready, while 1 ran to the
barn and hooked up my best team to
the lightest wagon. Before I could
drive to the door of our house the
food was there. 1t did not come grad
ually, but swept down with wave
more than a foot high. We did not
have time TO dress the children. We
threw them, bedclothes and all, into
the bottom Of the wagon, tossed in a
little food and scrambled in ourselves.
The water was then up to the hubs
lashed the horses into gallop and
by the time we reached the levee the
water was coming into the bed of the
wagon.
I'VE made a camp on the levee Fif-
teen or twenty families got together
and we built a fire and made coffee
The water came almost to the top of
the levee and we believed that we
would all be drowned. Once the levee
below us gave way with a roar and
the water poured through into the riv-
er, which was lower than the water in
side the levee. 1t made an awful noise
there in the night. We fully thought
that the end was coming. The most
of our stock ran for the levee when the
flood came.
When morning came we found a
rowboat and sent man for help. 1
think he went to Bouldin Island. Last
evening the steamer Jersey came and
took US off, all but few of the men,
who ctayed to watch the stock
Yesterday a man came over in a
boat from Staten Island. He said that
the people of that district did not have
time to save food and he wanted to
borrow some. He said there were near
ly a hundred families camped on the
levee over there"
The reclamations on the south side
of the San Joaquin River are safe. The
water about Victoria, Union and Rob
erts islands and the Jones and other
nearby tracts has raised very little and
there is no possibility of flood in that
section.
1t is stated that when the Staten ISL
and levees gave way the flood came
down in a big. high wave and took
houses and barns and swept them
across the island, smashing them
against the levee on the west side.

Devastation Wrought by Water Sacramento Lowlands

p When the river steamboat Apache
made fast alongside the Folsom-street
pier last night. after an exciting
=. run down from Sacramento. more
than one hundred farmers. farm
hands and Chinese and Japanese vege-
table growers disembarked. Some
were homeless and without fur

their backs: but all were thankful to
have escaped the flood that is raging
over their respective homes, and thank
ful for The successful termination of a
decidedly thrilling experience on a river
boat.
These refugees are for the greater part
- from the town OF Walnut Grove, a
place Of about 400 inhabitants, Of
which IS per cent are Mongolians. The

the farms and ranches about it are in

The town Of Walnut Grove were forced
10 leave their homes without first re-
moving their cattle or gathering to-
gether their food and clothing.
These islands. upon one Of which
Walnut Grove is situated. are deemed
the finest pasture and grain lands in
California and If ii were not for the
fact that they are liable to the winter
floods their value would be ines
timable. AS il is, all varieties Of grains,

sixth street. The steel framework had
been erected as far as the eleventh
floor. and the structure was swarming
with ironworkers, masons and labor
ers when, without an instant's warn
ing. the upper floor sagged and col
lapsed, and the whole structure fell
with a crash that was heard for
blocks and shook all the buildings in
the vicinity. A portion of the steel
frame fell upon the rear of the Hotel
Patterson, on West Forty seventh
street, crushing in the wall of the
dining-room and killing Mrs. Ella
Lacey Storrs. wife of Frank Storrs, a
wealthy resident of Rye, Westchester
County, as she was sitting at luncheon
with the wife of Rev. DR.. Minot
Savage, who escaped unhurt.
The other bodies so far recovered
are Frederick Morrills, foreman of the

unidentified men, apparently laborers.
The more seriously injured. with one
exception, are laborers on the building,
