The Arroyo Seco at II o'clock last
night at Highland Park was filled bank
full with a swiftly moving stream of
water which swept down from the cam
yons and from the hillsides with the
speed of a mill race
Along the old dry river bed, during
the past several years, many small
buildings have been erected, particular
ly near the city limits of Los Angeles.
These buildings, with trees, bushes,
dirt and sand are being swept toward
Pasadena in the flood that is gaining
volume every hour from the heavy
rain which began anew shortly before
midnight.
The Los Angeles river from a brook
let ten days ago has grown to a river

PosToFFIcE ON ISLAND
Seventh Street and Grand Avenue
Filled With Water

Employees in the postoffice at Seventh
and Grand avenue were virtually ma
rooned early yesterday morning and
on the other hand those who. find It
necessary to go to the central station
found that to do so they must wade
through from one to two feet of water.
Both Seventh street and Grand avenue
were filled to the curbing with dirty
yellow streams of water and it was not
until later in the day, when a force
of workmen arrived, that the streets
were made passable.
Street car lines had the usual trouble
attendant upon such weather condi-
tions as prevailed yesterday, and as q
consequence the running time of their
cars was demoralized.
The Los Angeles Interurban had the
greatest trouble and its Glendale cars
were held back for some time last
night. At Seventh and Olive street a
stream of water over eighteen inches
deep rushed down Olive street covering
the tracks and bearing with it mud
and sand which blocked the line

Heavy Fall at san Diego

BY Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO Feb. 3.--Nearly an inch
and a half Of rainfall was added to the
storms record last night and early to-
day. For five minutes this morning the
water fell in torrents, accompanied by
hard wind. The figures for the storm
UP to a. m. are 2:39; total for the
season 49, excess over the fifty-year
normal 1.5S. At this date last year the
rain fall was .46.
There have been several showers
this evening and indications are for
a stormy night. Reports from the
country show that at many places the
rainfall was much heavier than in the
city. and that as result all the reser-
voirs are filing rapidly That the
downpour in the mountains was tre-
mendous is evidenced by the fact that
the San Diego river, which for sew
eral years has not been visible above
the sands in Mission valley, now
shows broad stream flowing toward
False bay.

WOMAN HELD UP AND
ROBBED ON HILL STREET

Hold-up men are becoming bolder
and are now starting to work before
dark. Miss M. Winchert, residing at
1043 South Hill street, was held up and
robbed of her purse containing ninety
five cents at Eleventh and Hill streets
shortly after o'clock last night
Give me your money or 1 will kill
YOU" is the way Miss Winchert told
the police the stranger commanded her
to give up her valuables.
Miss Winchert was so frightened that
she dropped her pocket book and fled.
The thief snatched up the purse con-
tanning the money and ran in an op-
posite direction.
When asked to describe the robber
Miss Winchert said she was so fright
ened at the time that she had not no.
ticed the mans features. When further
questioned she was unable to say
whether the man was white or a negro.

ELECTRICIAN BURGLARS

SLecial to The Herald
MONROVIA, Feb. &c. f. Miller,
city marshal of Monrovia, took Harton
Sarwine and Earl Newell to the de-
tention home in Los Angeles today, to
await appearance in the juvenile
court. The boys were arrested on sew
eral charges of burglary. some of which
were compromised Monday. In the
court of Justice Holloway today their
parents testified that each boy was un-
der sixteen years of age.
The prisoners had a completely
equipped workshop fitted out with cleo
trical appliances that have been iden-
titled as the property of various people.
They understood the principles of cleo
tricity, having equipped themselves
with a small library on the subject.
They did not sell anything that was
missing. Both are the sons of good
people, and the boys have not borne
bad regulations.

SANTA MONICA HAS
CANALS OF HER OWN
Ferries and Fishing Preserves Estab-
lished on South Second Street.
Floods Twice Damned

Special TO The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Feb. 3.-Intermit-
tent rains and a heavy damp atmos-
phere made life anything but pleasant
at the beach today Toward evening
the heaviest downpour occurred and for
two hours continued The condition
Of South Second street tonight is a
matter of grave concern to those re-
siding along that thoroughfare. Mud
and filthy water in many places six
inches deep covers the street and side
walks while a stencil most sickening
arises from the polluted mess.
With fine sense of humor several
residents along the street today posted
placards before their dwellings. One
reads thus
"Kibbott Annie's Venice of Ocean
Park. For full particulars go to the
board of trustees. These canals have
been properly damned"
Further along another sign makes the
announcement: mo hunting or fishing
on this lagoon" and still another reads,
Ferry"
Unless the proper authorities take
immediate steps to remedy existing
conditions it is quite possible that suits
against the city may be instituted.

Bakersfield Well Soaked

BAKERSFIELD. Feb, 3.-Another
rainstorm which has been general
throughout the valley came up last
night and again started up shortly
after noon today. Last nights storm
was preceded by a heavy wind from
the southwest. in fact the prevailing
wind has been from that direction for
several days past, and rain in this
vicinity is the natural result as IT
brings the moisture from the ocean
side of the coast range.
The precipitation amounted to about
40 of an inch. The conditions are
favorable for a continuance of the
downfall tonight. The barometer was
lower this Afternoon than for several
years past in this city.

In the San Timoteo canyon the flood

one when much stock was drowned
and damage done to ranches, but
details of a definite nature cannot be
obtained tonight. No overland trains
have moved past here on the Southern

though there have been a number of
minor washouts that have caused brief
delay to trains. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT
is entirely tied up while train service
is interferred with on the Hemet

There were several cloudbursts in the
mountains in this vicinity which caused
the streams to swell. Tonight great
volumes of water are coming down

roar of the water being plainly heard
a half mile away. The streams are
swollen worse than for several years,
considerable damage has been done on
the ranches by washing. and crops will
be considerably damaged. At a late
hour tonight the storm continued
and railroad men fear that there will
be more serious washouts, as the ground
is so soft that it will wash very easily.

Patrons of the theaters were caught
in a downpour as they left play houses
last night. The Mason was crowded

ing some means of reaching their
homes.
Cab drivers cursed and fought; mo-

RAILWAY LINES DAMAGED
Companies Work Large Forces Of Men
Keepina Tracks Cleared

The electric railway systems Of Los
Angeles had their troubles yesterday
and last night.
Water rushing down from the hills
covered the rails with sand and mud
and made the running Of cars uncer-
tain. The Los Angeles railway kept
all the lines open as did also the Pacific
Electric, with the exception of its
mountain division.
The Glendale line of the Los An
geles Interurban company was kept
open, more difficulty being experienced
at Seventh and Olive streets than at
any point outside the city.
Large forces of track men will be at
work early this morning, and unless the
rain continues all cars will be running
on time today
