River at Bakersfield Rises Two Feet
in Two Hours

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, March 16.-As the
result of the heavy rains of last night
and today the volume of water in the
river is increasing rapidly but will
hardly reach the high point of last
month. The rise began at o'clock
this morning, and within two hours a
gain of two feet was noted at the power

was continuous, but not so rapid as
before.
At 2 o'clock this afternoon the river
was about at a standstill. At that
hour the measurement was 5000 feet.
The record for the last freshet was
5000 feet. Unless the rain is much
heavier in the mountains there is no
danger Of high water.
Rain began to fall here early this
morning and within a few hours the
precipitation was half an inch in
Bakersfield, while the storm in the
mountains to the east was much
heavier.
The ravines between the oil fields and
Poso creek are filled with water and
every little gorge is rushing torrent.
]. W. Tucker, stage driver to Linns
valley, was compelled to turn back this
morning before he reached Poso creek,
the road in many places being washed
away.
All trains from north and south got
in today, though there was some delay
last evening to the north. A washout
at Exeter this morning also caused
delay.
Up to Z o'clock this morning the fall
in Bakersfield was .21 of an inch and
between 8 and II 80 there was .26 more.
The total for the season is sos inches.
To the same date last year it was TAI
inches, but from March to 16 last
year it rained 2.24 inches, the 18th and
18th alone recording ITO.

WANT LOWER WHEAT RATE

Complaint of Wichita Milers
Asking for Reduction
IN Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 16. - The
interstate commerce commission yes
terday served notice on the Southern
Pacific and Santa Fe roads and their
connections to answer the complaint
of the Howard Milling company of
Wichita, Kas., which asks that the diff
ferential of ten cents per 100 pounds
on wheat shipments from Missouri
river points to California as compared
with flour shipments, be reduced to
five cents. Railroad officials regard this
suit as the sequel to the commissions
decision in the recent corn case re-
duclng the differential on corn ship
ments from Missouri river towns to
the coast, as compared with corn meal
shipments, from ten to five cents.
Corn meal manufacturers on this
coast assert that the result of that de-
cision has been to materially lessen their
output, as they are not able to COM
pete with shipments from the east.
