Great Storm Has Passed at San Franz

IBy Associated Press.1

~ NACRAMENTO, Jan. 22.-The news
IN from the inland districts of the
sacramento and SoIano counties
tonight is most discouraging received
since the first of the flood waves swept
down the valley.
Various reports show that the sit
uatlon is worse than at any time this
season.
The water has risen slowly all day
and is near the tops of the Ievees of
the upper part of Sherman island;
Ryer island in Solano and Barnanan
island, which joins Twitcheu island
(now f1ooded) on the north.
From COurtland, Walnut Grove and
lsleton, further up the river, the report
IS much more cheerful and hope is
strong that Andrus, Tyler, Ransle and
Grand islands in Sacramento county
and Merritt in Yolo will weather the
storm.
A new flood wave is coming down
the Sacramento and the crest will
reach here about noon tomorrow
Light west winds and occasional;
showers tonight marked the passing at
San Francisco of the great storm which
has deluged this state. Trains are still
taking roundabout routes to reach
their destinations and arriving in San
francisco behind schedule time.
The main line of the Southern Pacific
which is operating through Stockton
is completely blocked tonight by d
washout between that city and French
Camp.
Reports from the reclaimed island
lands below Sacramento are very dis
couraging. The high water crest due
tomorrow is greatly feared and the flood
damage may equal that of two years
ago.
In Stockton the water has run off the
streets to some extent, allowing the re-
sumption of street car traffic. \ new
break occurred below the city inun-
dating hundreds of acres of grain land.
