STORM RELIEVED IN SAN FRANCISCO
Storm Is Broken and Rivers Are
Falling Rapidly.

San Francisco, March 23.-The
storm which has hung over California
has been broken and conditions every
where have greatly improved. The
rivers running through the great in.
terror valleys which flooded vast
tracts OF land and threatened several
cities have fallen rapidly and no more
damage from this source is apprehend-
ed. Telegraph communication, which
for a time was interrupted, in every
direction has been restored.
The railroad blockade has been par
tally lifted, but On the Shasta route
can not be resumed for several days
and the coast line to the south may
be tied up for two or more days. The
Santa Fe and Southern Pacific, by
combination of tracks. are able to get
trains through the San Joaquin valley.
The Southern Pacific ana Santa Fe
lines east from Los Angeles are open.
Indications are for more rain in
Southern California.

Books as Friends.

Best also are the bOks that each one
collects for himself, especially if their
purchase entails a sacrifice How
often the pleasure that a man gets out
of his books varies inversely with his
power of acquiring them. None knew
better than Charles Lamb the triumph
of bringing home a coveted prize, a
joy unshared by the outside world, a
private joy if there ever is one, re-
marks The Academy. Many who have
thus collected a small library, book by
book, reading each book before they
bought another will recOllect the feel

A sudden accession of books comes to

PRESIDENTS SON HoNoRED.
May Be Manager of Harvard Crew in
His Senior Year.

Cambridge, Mass, March 23.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Jr, was appointed
second assistant manager of the Har.
ward university crew by the univer.
sity athletic committee last night.
The appointment was made from a list
OF dozen candidates, all of whom
have been competing for the place by
activity in securing subscriptions for
the crew and doing other work for
the management. If the usual order
OF succession in the crew manage
ment is followed, young Roosevelt
probably will be assistant manager
next year and manager in his senior
year.
