STORM RACES ON.
No Let-Up of Ram Apparent in North
ern California.

Redding, Cal, March 25.-Ihe heav-
lest storm Of the season ragged here all
last night and until early this morning.
For few hours it abated and then
broke again A terrific wind is now
blowing and the rain is falling in
sheets.
Reports state that snow is falling all
through the SiskiyOus and Sacramento
canyons. the precipitation being heav-
Ter than at any time during the past
season. All the snowplows in this
section have been put into commission
and have made but little headway-
A third snOwslide occurred at Can
tara, and the wrecker from Dunsmuir
FASTENED TO the scene. Tunnel No
is said to be caving in and DunsmuIr
has an unveriied report that in the
Siskiyous many cave-ins have occurred
Conditions could not be worse along

Sacramento, March 26.-With p1ac-
tically all Of the down-river islands IN
der water, the worst food in the his
tory Of this rich agricultural district,
not excepting even those Of 1862 and
1901, is now a matter Of record. On
the Sacramento side Of the river.
Grand, Suffer and Sherman islands are
the only ones not INUNDATED, and on
the Yolo side, Merritt stands as the
single rock which has withstood the
ravages Of the waters.
Even the Pearson district, where the
hardest fight ever made by the river
ranchers to save their lands has been
going on for a week, is not submerged,
and while at Randall island the front
levee was still standing at last reports
the struggle has been given up.
While from all points comes the
word that "the worst is over" vivid
picture can be drawn Of the awful de-
struction which has ruined crops and
put land worth millions Of dollars tenn
pOrarily out of commission.
The steamer Fruto has been sent on
a second mission of relief and she il
momentarily expected to return with a
cargo Of the stock rescued from the
Pearson district. The Pearson district
is one of the chief dairying parts Of the
county, and although the residents are
making a desperate fight to protect
their homes and cattle until help ar
rives, it is probable that many hun
dreds will be lost.
The water was reported to be four
feet deep, and rising rapidly. The
break is widening and it is feared that
there may be destruction Of human life
before the food subsidies.

No human being can come into the
world without increasing or diminish
ing the sum total Of human happiness,
not only Of the present, but Of every
subsequent age Of humanity. No one
can detacb himself from this connec-
ton There is no sequestered spot in
the universe, no dark niche along the
disk of non-existence to which he can
retreat from his relations to others,
where he can withdraw the influence
of his existence upon the moral des-
tiny Of the world. Everywhere he will
haze companions who will be better or
worse for his influence.

CAMERON WEDDING
A Most Beautiful and Solemn Obi
cation Entered into by Mr.. All
Miller and Miss Stella Fancher

The happiest wedding of the season
was performed at the home of Mr..
and NJ, 8. Amos Fancher Thursday,
February 9TH, when All Miller was
joined in marriage to their daughter
Stella.
Mr.. All Miller is the oldest son of
Frank G. Miller, the respected Town
ship Clerk of Cameron township, and
his wife. Miss Stella Fancher is the
daughter OF Amos Fancher and wife,
old pioneer citizens of Cameron
township.
The young people we're born in
this township and were raised within
few miles of each other. They
were raised by loving parents whose
kind care and warm hearts beat in
fear lest some harm might befall
them. Their parentage we we'll
know. AS men and women we have
been workers,-toiling early and late
10 clothe aud nourish their families
and build themselves a home. The
country was wild when these good
people came here but by diligence
and prudence they have raised their
families to respectability and with
honor to themselves, have amassed
fortune. The children learned econ.
omy at an early period of life and
will now thank Father and Mother
for the lessons taught.
The society of these young people
one to the other will be, we believe,
perpetual harmony and love, caring
for each other as duty demands.
Such marriages are NOT failures
