eX-King Manuel of Portugal and Don
Miguel, duke of Bragauza, pretender
to the Portuguese throne at which mo-
narchical restoration plans eWere dis

today. Miguel agreed to renounce for

FIRST RAIN IN VALLEY
FOR MANY MONTHS

For the first time in months rain
fell last night. 1t came down gently
and has continued as mist through a
good part of the day.
AS a result of the washing off of
vegetation the valley took on a brigh
aspect, and seldom is quite as pretty
as it is today.
The rain comes at a. season when
it can do no harm, and probably its
influence on growing crops will be
beneficial.
In a section where dependence is
wholly on irrigation, rains are only
helpful for laying dust, cleaning vege-
tation and purifying the air, and this
rain has done that.
The mist had become a steady but
gentle soaking rain by noon, and the
gut RS were carrying considerable wa
ter, over which Street Superintendent
Swanson took sueprvision.'
The mud is becoming an obstacle
to traffic and the town was visited by
fewer farmers than for many a day
previous. This had its effect on trade,
which was quiet.
