Trains Are Now Moving
Over the Weakened Tracks

Once more trains are beginning to
? move over tracks which have been
idle for several days, and some time
this evening the first will reach this
city. By what route this train will
come is not known. The Southern
Pacific road from Iona Linda to Col
ton is reported entirely destroyed, and
it is believed the trains for the val
ley will use the Pacific Electric from
Cotton to Redlands, thence down to
Redlands Junction.
The first train left the valley at
11:45 last evening and at about the
same time a train left Los Angeles
for here, and this is the train that is
expected to arrive this evening, not
earlier than $3.50.
This mornings outbound train left
on time, and it is expected that from
this time there will be regular serv-
ice, though the trains will naturally
move slowly.
There will be a vast pile of mail to
arrive in the next "a hours. 1t has
been days since any came from the

west, and from the East there has
only been trickling of mail.
The losses that have been sustained
by the railroads will run into a vast
sum, and it will take months to get
the roadbeds back into their normal
high condition.
The Pacific Telephone and Tele'
graph Company got wire connections
direct with San Diego and Los Ange-
les yesterday, and today the Western
Union, which had maintained connec-
ton by way of Ell Paso, got direct
connection with the Coast.
The incoming train was reported at
noon to be due at INLAND at 2:30, and
it is expected to reach here between
$3.50 and 4. 1t will be the first train
from the west for days and at Nj
land it will pick up mail and passen-
gers from the East. 1t was impos-
sible to state this afternoon whether
there would be night train for the
Coast, there being no Grew available
to return inside of the IL hours lay

65 Lives and Vast Property Loss Near San Diegt

shall levee was washed out week ago. the water then
being held in check by the roadbed Of the railroad which
served as second line of defense The effort Of the last
days has been directed to oryng the railroad evee
against encroachments by the river and is believed sue
cess is to be achieved in this.
Volcano Lake levee is probably the most critical point
in the river situation, far this valley is concerned
During the flood last week the water to within
feet of the top of the evee and then receded feet when
the water began to subsde The evee developed no weak
ess during that test Yesterday the water began to rise
again. and it will not be before tomorrow that the supreme
test of the levee will come.
What effect the water already accumulated behind
the levee and the long duration of the high crest of this
flood will have say but it is hoped that the
evee will withstand the which it is being subjected
and in that case the valley will suffer loss from the
tremendous flood
The fact is recognized however, that as this
flood shall have passed it will be necessary to begin to
add TO the height of the evee again. that there may be
large margin of safety for the heavy flood which must be
anticipated during the coming summer.
There is no doubt that these floods will have depos
tied great amount of silt behind the levees raising the
general level of the delta country, higher evee will
be necessity.
At 2 D. m this afternoon the Reclamation Service at
Yuma reported the Press that the water stood there
30 having been at this crest of the flood for 80 hours
which is estimated to give 300 900 feet day slight
rise is reported short distance up the Ga, but it is
thought this marks the high point.

Postmaster C. w. Collins urges the
patrons of the office to make greater
use of the mail delivery facilities in
the city.
Many patrons OF the office, instead
of filing their street addresses at the
are still employing the in
method of calling at the
general delivery window for their
mail.
All mail arriving on the 7:10 train
is delivered in the morning delivery,
even though the train should be an
hour or so late.
The Postoffice Department has sent
to Postmaster Collins blanks to be
filled out by patrons not using the de-
livery service stating the reason why
they do not.
Another feature of the local postof-
flee facilities which is not used to the
best advantage is the number of let
ter and parcel boxes scattered through
the city in which mail may be depos-
tied.
All mail is collected from these
boxes three times day.
