RAIN FALLS AT SALINAS.
Precipitation Comes in Time to Prove
of Value TO Monterey County.

Precipitation Comes in Time to Prove
of Value to Monterey County.
SALINAS, Feb. PA mild south
easterly wind has developed a drizzIing
rain that promises to be Of great value
TO this county. The rain began falling
about 6 o'clock this evening and has
continued steadily ever since. The to-
tai precipitation for the season in the
upper part Of the Salinas Valley has
been about five inches. Salinas has
had to date 4.42 inches. In the lower
sections Of the county around Soledad.
King City and San Lucas the totals
have been less. In spite of the fact
that the average is much smaller than
usual the prospects are fair The hills,
which three weeks ago were bare, are
rapidly showing in feed. From Jolon
and the cattle sections of the county
reports are that the cattle will pull
through if no heavy frosts come In
the valley many of the farmers will
raise hay, and, with the usual spring
rains, the northern part of Monterey
County will show a large acreage in
beets. The present stretch of mild
weather has started feed Of all sorts
and has greatly relieved the fears of a
dry year. Around San Miguel and
along the line of San Luis Obispo Coun-
ty reports state that the cattle will
pull through and the spring rains in
sure plenty OF feed.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 24.-Rain began fall

for the season. Up to this time last

rain this year has come at opportune

SACRAMENTO AND AMERICAN
RIVERS ARE SLOWLY RISING
Soft Warm Rains That Prevail in the Mountains Cause
the Snow to Melt, and, Although the Feeders of These
Streams Are Booming, No Serious Damage IS Expected

SACRAMENTO, Feb 24-To-day wit
nlento River. but the water can reach
nearly four feet higher without endan-
gering the banks. Such a rise is not
looked for. since the water would flow
over the YolO levee, on the opposite
side, before it could attain such a
height. Reports received from all
points to-day confirm the belief that
period Of high water may be expected
tomorrow, to continue so long as the
soft, warm rains prevail in the noun
tains. causing the snow to melt and
making all the feeders Of the American
and Sacramento rivers boom. A great
mass Of driftwood, consisting in large
part Of cut logs from the mountain
lumber camps, is being carried past
Sacramento by the rapid and fast wild
ening current. The down river farm
ers, who have reclaimed their valuable
lands by building high levees around
them, are experiencing much alarm,
since the height Of the river at this
point-nearly twenty-six feet-indicates
that the danger line has been reached
farther down the stream. The usual
relief in such an emergency comes from
breaks in the weak levees on the Yolo
side, which may be expected to-mor-
row. Sacramento each year suffers
from reports from high water and i'm
pending foods, but as a matter Of fact
the city is perfectly safe and the citi-
Zens express no fear of trouble. At
some places in the mountains and val
leys the rainfall for the last twenty
four hours has reached more than two
and one-half inches.
On the Oroville branch Of the South
ern Pacific Railroad the water had risen
10 such an extent that no trains were
running to-day. while on the line be-
tween Woodland and Marysville no
trains were running farther than
Chandler station. The railroad COM
pany is looking for still higher water
at various valley points tomorrow,
while the weather bureau has warned
all river residents that danger line
stages may be reached by tomorrow.

Plenty of Rain at Auburn.

AUBURN, Feb. 24-Twenty- five
inches Of rain have fallen here this sea-

last forty-eight hours. The fall of last
night and to-day has been almost un-
precedented. The streams are full to
overf1owing and many washouts are
reported. The extreme warm weather
has caused the snow to melt high up in
the mountains and fears are enter
tanned for those living along the Sacra-
mento River. The American River at
this point is extremely high. The grass
shows a wonderful growth and stock

MARYsVuLLE SHUT OUT.
Flood Waters Cut OF City From the
Outside World.

MARYSVILLE, Feb. 24.-For the last
twenty four hours the city of Marys-
vile has been practically shut out from
the outside world by flood water, which
at a late hour tonight is slowly rising.
Rain fell steadily all night and nearly
all day and continues at this writing.
Not only is this the case all through
the valley but reports received here
tonight verify the statement from the
headwaters Of the Yuba and Feather
rivers that the same conditions have
existed at those points for the last
twenty four hours. The Yuba River
registers 1877 feet, and with the Feather
is continuing TO rise. It is expected
that the high water mark, 21 feet, will
be reached before morning.
The country to the north, south and
west is flooded. The levee along the
south bank of the Yuba near the Brad
ley farm has given way in four differ
ent places and a large volume of wa
ter is pouring out over the country
to the south between this city and
Reeds station. Farmers from that sec
tion say the water extends as far as
the eye can see. However, il is be-
ieved that but little damage will re-
suit in that section, as the water runs
off quickly when the river recedes
Some livestock has been drowned, but
the loss is not heavy. The levee break
ing shuts out all travel from the south
and Wheatland except by rail. The
Knights Landing and Oroville route of
the Southern Pacific line is inundated
for several miles and no trains were
run to-day.
The rapid rise of the Feather River
to-day cut off travel from the north
and from Sutter County.
So far as the city of Marysville is
concerned, no trouble is anticipated, as
the levee system is in excellent condi-
ton. No chances are being taken. how
ever, men patrolling the great dykes
day and night. The break on the south
side has lessened the strain. Reports
from the Government barriers on the
Yuba say that the water has passed
the high water mark and is rising at
the rate of 10 inches per hour.
Some alarm is felt by merchants and
they are moving their goods to high
places. Every available man is being
hired by the citysto patrol the levee.
