sroRMING IN Los ANGELES.
Rainfall in the South Is the Heaviest
During the Season.

LOS ANG ELES. Feb. 27.-Although
it had rained ell around Los Angeles
County during the past twenty-four
hours and in the mountains, the rain
fall having been extremely heavy in
places, no rain fell in this city during
the present storm until o'clock this
afternoon. when the storm broke here
in manner which indicates that it
may make up for much that Los An
geles has missed in the way of pre-
cipitation. steady downpour began
and continued until after 10 o'clock
tonight without ceasing. During
that time more than an inch of rain
fell in some parts of the city and out
Pasadena way the rainfall was much
heavier.
From Echo Mountain, near Mount
Lowe. tonight came the report that
nearly three inches of rain had fallen
during the day. Most needed in the
agricultural districts, the storm was
heaviest in those districts and in thS
grain sections of Orange, Riverside and
San Bernardino counties The precipita-
tion was heavier for a given time than
that of any previous storm this season.
To the northward, through the broad
Antelope Valley, there was a tremen-
dous rainfall 1t was in this section
that it was perhaps most welcome. for
there are thousands CT head of cattle
there, which have been suffering for
feed and water.

Territory Suffers Some Damage.
MARYSVILLE, Feb 27-While the
weather has not exactly cleared, no
rain has fallen to-day. and the Yuba
and Feather rivers are receding rap
idly. The pros poets tonight are for
clear weather, and the storm that has
ragged for the past week with unabated
fury is thought to have spent itself
With the receding waters business
has again rounded into form and the
city of Marysville has regained its
tranquil appearance. The alarm that
was felt when the flood water was at
it's height has disappeared, and it is
proven that the city levee system is one
of the finest in the State. With the
water failing in the rivers the over
flowed lands to the north and south are
drained and in few days will be high
and dry. 1t is not believed that the
land covered will be damaged to any
great extent, and in some places the
overflow will prove of benefit.
Travel by wagon roads from all dis
tricts will be resumed in a few days.
Train service over the main Oregon and
California line has been renewed. The

ports from the neighborhood of Meri

River, say that three breaks have oc-
CURED in the levee south of that place
and much valuable land has been sub
merged. The damage to bridges is re-
ported heav.-. large portion of Dis
trict No. 20 is flooded. and the condition
around Tudor has not improved. The
water in the Tule is reported higher
than ever before. Travel between this
city and Yuba City has been resumed,
although the street cars are not yet
crossing over Considerable water is
flowing through the breaks in the Linda
levee from the Yuba, and it will be
some time before it is repaired.
Most of the damage in Yuba County
has occurred in this section. and it is
impossible to estimate the amount. The
Yuba tonight registers seventeen feet
and is falling, as is also the Feather.
Some damage is reported from the
dredger site on the Yuba, and the work
Of construction has been greatly de-
layed. Stages out of this city are again
leaving on schedule time. The rainfall
amounted only to about five inches
here, and to farmers outside of the
flooded area was very beneficial, in
suring a bountiful harvest.

Two Inches of Rain at Fresno.

FRESNO, Feb. 27.-The finest rain
of the season has visited this section
during the past twenty-four hours and
the farmers and fruit growers can
truly be said to be jubilant Light
showers fell during the early part of
last night and about midnight a steady
downpour began, continuing through
out the night and all day to-day, and
at this hour, 1890 p. m, shows no
sign Of abating. 1t is just the kind OF
a storm needed to do the country the
most good, a warm, slow, constant
drizzle that is soaking up the ground
thoroughly. The fall so far is II
inches and is very likely to be 2
inches before it ceases. Reports from
all over the county are that the down.
pour has been very timely and has
guaranteed fine crops from the grain
fields.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
AN UNPLEASANT -xPERIENcE.


Has it ever been your unhappy lot to
be told by your physician that you
must go to a hospital TO submit to an
operation? If SO. you remember with
what dread and shrinking you awaited
the day when you must endure the
knife.
The present day surgeon appears to
be possessed by a mania for operating,
especially in cases Of hemorrhoids or
piles, and while the greater number OF
the profession do not recommend this
last resort" unless they honestly be-
lieve it necessary. the fact remains
that much needless operating is done.
and the patient put to much expense
and suffering-for what?
To obtain a possible temporary re-
lief; these words are used advisedly,
because in nine cases out of ten the
affiiction returns and the patient is
just where he started from. Oftentimes
he could be cured much more simply
and easily by the use Of such a remedy
as the Pyramid Pile Cure: this has
come to be recognized as the best rem
edy on the market for the painful dis
ease named. and the druggists now sell
more Of II than all ether pile remedies
combined.
The writer personally knows people
who were afflicted with the worst form
of bleeding and protruding piles and
who were permanently cured by the
use of Pyramid Pile Cure. In every one
of these cases the attending physician
had assured the sufferer that only by
an operation could he rid himself of
the disease; so much for the infallibil-
ity of the doctors.
This remedy, which is sold by all
druggists at the low price of fifty
cents, is in suppository form, is applied
directly to the parts affected, and per-
forms it's work quietly and painlessly.
The Pyramid Drug Co.. Marshall, Mich.
wilr mail free to any address book
telling all about piles or hemorrhoids,
their cause and cure.
A suggestion is offered that il the
reader is afflicted, or knows any one
who is. this book be sent for, as 1t will
be found invaluable.

STOCKTON Is STILL SAFE.
No Immediate Danger of City Being
Flooded Is Anticipated.

STOCKTON, Feb. 27.-It is not be-
lieved late tonight that this city
stands in any immediate danger from
flooding. While the San Joaquin River
and the channels in and about Stock
ton are running bank full and very
near to the danger point, ii is thought
that there will be a slight fall by
morning unless an unexpected amount
of water should come out of the foot
hills. In the mountains east of this
city the rain has been very heavy. A
full two inches of water fell
softened the Sierra Railroads s
roadbed in several places and
TO avoid every possible accident no

and Mormon Slough are reported to be
rising above Linden. but in this city
Mormon Slough was falling slowly and
running sluggish.
Owners of reclaimed lands on the
islands are naturally in a state of agi-
tation. but so far no reports have come
Of broken levees, but at several points
danger is being guarded against by
strengthening the embankments. The
Mokelumne is still booming and is
flooding the northern part of the coun-
ty, but ii is now thought that the
highest point has been reached.
Although showers have been fire.
quent during the last few days the
rain was so light that the total for
Thursday and Friday. and up to this
morning, amounted to only SO of an
inch. At $50 a. IN. to-day the total
for the month was 402 and for the sea-
son to date $40 as against 6.S4 for tha
corresponding period last season. 1t
is the rains in the mountains that rem
Ger the situation uncertain. Their full
force is sometimes not felt here till
forty eight hours after the storm. The
San Joaquin is carrying the volume
well so far. and while this continues
there is no danger of backwater in
Stockton channels. Tonight all of the
streams in the city have full two and a
half feet or more between them and
the street grades.

KEEP WATCH ON THE LEvEE.
Colusa Residents Are Guarding
Against Possible Break.

COLUSA, Feb. 27.-The Sacramen-
TO River at this place reached it's
highest mark at midnight Friday,
when the gauge registered 27 feet
91k inches, the highest record pre-
viously being February 2S, 1891, when
1t registered 81 feet S1a inches. Much
uneasiness was felt at Colusa and all
along the river for miles as the water
gradually climbed higher and higher
At the grangers' warehouse just below
town the water commenced to roll
over the levee top in several places
and a gang of men were Immediately
put to work. They raised the low
places by using hundreds of earth
filed sacks. It is estimated that fully
200 men patrolled the levee between
Colusa and Sycamore, distance Of
six miles. Friday night and this patrol
will be kept up until all danger is
passed.
On the east side, ten miles below
Colusa, three large and damaging
breaks occurred, the worst of which
was on DR.. Jacobs place, from which
the water is rushing into district 10.
1t is estimated that 800 acres Of the
most choice Sutter County farming
land viii be flooded.
Another large break occurred about
o'clock this morning on the Doty
place, two miles below Meridian, and
still another on the Sills place on the
Sutter County side, below Grimes.
These breaks relieved the strain on
the west side and the farmers, whose
hopes we're nearly gone, are again
taking courage and watching the weak
places with renewed energy.
Word reached Colusa that James
Bradley has lost eighteen head of cat
tie and a few sheep. c. V. Griffith
has sixteen head of cattle back in the
Yuba bottoms somewhere that as yet
have not been located. NJ. c. Lazier
has fifty head of cattle, and it is said
sixteen horses, wandering around in
the bottoms, provided they have not
succumbed to the flood.
The levee on the ranch of the late
Senator Boggs, fourteen miles above
Colusa, is in a very dangerous condi-
ton. Part of it has been carried
away and a large force of men are at
work building a cofferdam of sacks
and dirt around the break. On an
other part of this ranch there were
sixteen leaks within half a mile, most
ly caused by gophers.
The backwater from the Feather
River reached to within a few miles
of Princeton and covered the farms
of Messrs. Steele, Armstrong and Nc
Connell. Many families were COM
PEELED to move away from their flood
ed homes, leaving their stock on the
levee tops. Across the river from Co
lusa more than fifty head of horses
and cattle can be seen on the levees,
with the water only a few feet from
the top on either side. Several horses
and a number of sheep and hogs have
already perished in the floods and
should the high water continue few
days more the loss of stock Will be
considerable. The farmers along the

interference with railroad travel for
some days at least. Considerable
damage has been done below the dis
trict affected by the Edwards crevasse
by break in cross levee, letting the
water in upon probably 5000 acres Of
reclaimed vegetable and fruit land.
In Reclamation District 535, where
the Edwards break occurred, the prin-
cipal lands flooded are those of J. H.
and G. w. Cox, the Rancho del Rio,
owned by N. D. Rideout and others,
A. A, r. H. and r. Merkley, o. o.

beginning again about noon to-day it
has continued to come down contin-
uously. Throughout the storm the
temperature has been mild and warm
and with little or no wind. Every
drop that fell has gone into the
ground, and vegetation is rapidly
showing the effects of the last weeks
wonderful weather. Grain is rapidly
showing in the valley sections and the
cattle and sheep men speak enthusi-
astically of the feed upon the hills
and cattle ranges.
In the lower and middle portions of
Salinas Valley around Gonzales. Sole
dad, King City, San Lucas and Brad
ley the rainfall has been heavier than
in the upper sections. For the pres
ent storm Salinas has had more
than an inch, making a total
of s inches for the season.
This IS but an inch and q half
less than last season. King City has
received AS. San Lucas 80, Soledad
40 and San Ardo 80 of an inch. At
last reports it was still coming down
at those places In view of the fact
that the Salinas Valley, and especially
the middle and lower sections, can
raise fine crops on less than half the
rainfall needed in other parts of the
State, the farmers are jubilant. The
present storm has been worth hun
dreds of thousands of dollars to Mon
terey County and has dispelled the
threatened dry year and will result in
an immediate and general revival of
business along all lines. With a rep
etition of the disasters of the dry year
of 1897 staring Monterey County i'm
the face. all lines of business have
been very conservative for the last
two months. Assured prospects for
another year will give an immediate
relief to the situation.

HEAVY RAIN AT BAKERSFIELD
Farmers and StOckmen Are Rejoicing
and Outlook Is Excellent


BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 27. - The
hardest downpour Of the season visited
Bakersfield and Kern County this af-
ternoon. a slight shower came early
this morning, just enough to wet the
ground. At 2 2,o'clock il began to rain
hard and continued all the afternoon
and evening. At this writing the out
look is that it will continue all or the
greater part of the night. The rain
is general throughout the county. In
this city about an inch of rain has
fallen.
The rain will be of the greatest
benefit to farmers and stockmen. The
outlook for these interests is now ex-
cellent. The bitches are full and there
is plenty of snow in the mountains to
insure water for irrigation purposes.
