Damage In California viii Not Aggre-

San Francisco, Jan. 16. = Beyond
the destruction of the Southern Pa
cific bridges at Sacramento and the
Western Pacific crossing near here,
the damage resulting from the great
rainstorm that has deluged the CEN
trail part of California for the last
week is slight. The storm is passing
to the eastward and northward, hay
ing apparently crossed the mountains
to the eastern slope of the Sierras
and it is hoped that. no further dam.
age will result.
The principal danger is about Sac
ramento and Stockton, where ali in1-
mense spread of farming land viii be
under water if the levees give way.
The Western Pacific bridge over
the American river at Sacramento
went out so suddenly that the engine
and six cars of a gravel train were
carried down with &, ana the engi-
neer lost his life.

been put to two severe tests recently.
The burning of the Court View Hotel

In both instances, the department
did excellent service, not only in sub
DUNG the flames, but in the protection
of other property. As the department
is made up Of volunteers, the men
getting no pay for their services, we
suggest that the citizens take some
appropriate action to show their APP
probation of the services rendered.
We will gladly join in a substantial
way to promote a movement to that

places in protest against the action
of the manufacturers in disallowing
further use of the union labels in the
hats made by them.
In this city and in Bethel between
$500 and 1000 men and women are
out, while the total of idle union hat
tiers in Connecticut is close to 5000
