TALKS OF ARBITRATION.
Few Union Men Listen to Address of
p. II. Scullin in Sacramento.

SACRAMENTO, March 23.-Mayor
HaSsett presided at meeting in Sier-
ra Hall tonight that was called for
the purpose of hearing an address by
P. H. Scullin, who advocates arbitra-
tion in settlement of the present la
Dor troubles between mechanics af-
filiated with the Building Trades
Council and their employers. Only
about forty-five men were present.
Scullin, in accounting for this, de-
clared that the meeting was boycotted
by the union men.
This will do them no good. as it
shows that they do not want fair
play" said Scullin.
Scullin made an earnest address, ad-
vocating resort to arbitration in ad-
justing such difficulties. He was lis
tened to with great attention by the
persons present and his views appear
ed to be received with approval as
he was applauded al the conclusion of
his address.
Mayor Hassett said he would well
come and favor any movement that
would tend to a settlement of the dis
Dute.

SAN DIEGO, March 2S.1The best
rain that has fallen in San Diego
County this year was the one which
began in showers last night and came
down in little less than torrents at
about o'clock this morning. Back
country reports show the mountain
streams running and the fall has done
an immense amount of good The
farmers throughout the county are
now practically certain of hay crop
and if little more rain falls and the
weather is favorable during April and
May, that is without any exceedingly
dry and burning weather, some of
them will harvest grain crops. The
fall of last night to o'clock this
morning was .3S of an inch and di-
rectly after that hour the fall was
sufficiently heavy to mark 81 upon
the gauge. The heaviest rain came to
the back country, or rather to the
foothills this side of the mountains.
Julian reported full three inches of
rain and all the streams running.
Cuyamaca reported 2.96 and water
flowed into the reservoir. Upper Otay
reported SO of an inch and the two
streams running into the reservoir.

JOY IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.

SAN JOSE, March 23.-Unless some
thing out of the ordinary occur, Santa
Clara Valley should reap a golden har-
vest this year. Not for years has the
county received such soaking as it
has during the months of February

1929 inches to the same date last year.
Last year the rains came earlier. For
the twenty-four hours ending this
morning 40 of an inch fell This after
noon it is clear and it is believed the
storm is over.
Few seasons have been more pro-
pitious than this one for big crops.
The late rains and warm weather will
cause everything to grow. Prune trees
are beginning to bud, and in another
month the orchards will be in full
bloom. Hay and grain are looking
fine, and there is now plenty of moist
ure in the ground to assure fine crops.
BALLARD, March %. = The storm
which has been gathering for several
DAYS resulted in a little over half an
inch of rain last night. Although the

blowing, yet appearances indicate
more rain. The rainfall for the season

BISHOP, March %. = The rain here
during last night was 1.19 inches, bring
ing the total of March up to 2.22. The

supply of water for summer irrigation.
SANTA ANA, March 20. - The

ton of 1.91 inches. making the seasons
total $40 inches. In the mountains and

a fair honey crop, which were hereto
fore In doubt.

SACRAMENTO, March %. - The
high water situation is still giving the
river residents much concern. The
situation south of the city of Sacra-
mento is not reassuring. After the
Edwards break occurred the trustees
of Reclamation District 535 con-
tracted with Darby Laydon of San
Francisco to stop further erosion at
the ends with piling of a certain
length. This piling has washed away
and with it nearly 200 feet of levee
heretofore sound. The trustees claim
Laydon violated his contract by driv-
ing shorter piles than those bargained
for and they will refuse to pay his
claim. The contract for closing the
Edwards break itself was let to Clark
& Henery of Stockton for about
$4,000 and the work should have
been completed yesterday. The action
of the high water and the destruction
of the Laydon work and new portions
of the levee have combined to keep
the break open and water i s still
coursing through it. The river itself
is not at a danger point at Sacramento,
but the backwater from the Edwards
break has attained an average depth
Of five feet upon 10000 acres below the
city and only the Y-street levee, a bar
rier which has thus far proved very
effective. keeps it from coming into

GOOD OUTLOOK AT HANFoRD.

HANFORD. March 23.-The storm
that has been coming down the valley
for several days reached here Tues
day afternoon and a good, steady rain
continued through most of the after
noon and night, with a total precipi-
tation of one inch, which makes to-
tai for the season of 5.15 inches. This
last rain is the heaviest one of The
season and although the cold wind
of to-day dried it up considerably, yet
the prospects are very encouraging for
a good year in every line of industry.
The storms in the mountains have
caused the water in Kings River to
rise seven and a half feet and this
looks encouraging to those who have
to irrigate. There is some indication
of frost tonight. and if it is a heavy
one the fruit crop will be damaged
materially, but the light frosts of late
have done no harm. The high wind
here last night did some damage. The
storm at Coalinga amounted to 1.j.
which is an exceedingly heavy rain
for that section.

DAMAGE IN MARIN.

SAN RAFAEL, March 2S.-Marin
County has had more rain up to the
present time this season than for any
previous entire year since 1889, and
with two exceptions since 1876. The
precipitation for this immediate vicin-
ity thus far this season has been 43.39.
In the last four days the downpour
has been registered at 2.53 inches, be-
ing over one inch in the last twenty
four hours. In one storm last month
eleven inches fell in three days. Last
seasons entire rainfall at San Rafael
was 36.46.
There has been much damage in all
parts of the county and while San Ra-
fael has received the greatest precip-
itation, yet the damage is not as great
as in other portions of the county.
Generally Sausalito and Mill Valley
both record greater amount of rain.
This year is an exception. Sausalito
has had 1885 for this season, while
up to the same time last year it had
45.53 inches. Great damage has been
done to vegetable and fruit farms.
while the overfowing of streams has
caused havoc with property. Many
elegant residences in Ross Valley and
San Anselmo have. been injured, while
reports from UP country points state
that hundreds of acres of land are
