Few members of the present state
senate have resided in the state OF
Washington longer than has Senator
John H. Smithson of Chelan and Kitti-
tas counties. Like Senators Faulkner
Of Snohomish and Brown of Whatcom,
he is a native of Canada. Senator
Smithson gives his occupation as farmer
and stockraiser. The farming industry
is better represented in the membership
of the senate than any other occupation.
Frank c. Jackson of King is the young
est man in the senate, and John L.
Roberts of Pierce is the oldest.

has been shown by the report of John

During the past year the interest on

WESTERN STORM
PASSING AWAY
March Lion Frisked and Roared Along
the Coast for Four
Days.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.-After
playing havoc throughout central and
northern California by causing wash
outs, floods and damage to growing
crops, the storm of the last four days,
according to the weather bureau, has
begun to break UP and move eastward.
The storm has been unprecedented
in the velocity of the wind and the
heavy rainfall in very brief per-
iod of time. From all parts of the
state come reports of rains, of the
cloudburst type. In several cities,
notably San Jose and Walsenburg
boats have taken the place of the
usual vehicles in the streets.
Thousands of acres of grain and
orchard lands were submerged, result
ing in great loss.
Railroad traffic has been interrupt
ed on every line and branch in the
northern and central parts Of the
state.
At sea the storm has ragged with
fury all along the coast from Sar
Diego to Oregon.
Forty families were rendered home
less at Watsonville, and the business
portion of the town was under 81,
feet of water yesterday.
