Damage In Sacramento
Sacramento, Cal, Oct. 26-Num-
erous houses were unroofed, win
dows were broken and other dam
age, as yet unestimated, was done by
strong wind approaching the
strength of cyclone which swept
through the southern and eastern
parts of Sacramento today. The wind
tore a path approximately three
fourths of a mile wide through the
district.
A torrential rain fell after the
windstorm and flooded streets and
cutters.
The wind approached from the
southwest and swept through the
Homestead and east Sacramento Sec
tions of the city. In east Sacramento
number of houses under construc-
ton were demolished or badly dam
aged by the wind.
The crash of the buildings and OF
broken glass alarmed housewives
throughout the stricken district, but
early reports indicated no one had
been injured.
Telephone service to the damaged
districts was demoralized.
Three men, employees at the Corpo-
ration yards, where city trucks and
machinery are stored, were injured
by flying debris. Most of the yard
buildings were demolished.
The wind, accompanied by the reg
ulation funnel-shaped cloud, lifted the
corrugated roofs of the corporation
buildings, tore up trees and carried
them, in some cases, hundred
yards.
At the Standard Oil company's
plant a roof was torn off one of the
large buildings. Considerable dam
age was done on the property where
the buildings of the state highway
commission are under construction.

So.esiled third party leaders aren't
worried in the least for fear that
there won't be sufficient oratory in
the progressive independents"
formerly the nonpartisan' league.
In fact. the promised abundance Of
conversation that will be volunteered
at the powwow here Friday is just
what is worrying "the boys" in
charge. They're afraid that the ora
tors will get their listeners so ex-
cited that a thorough passage OF the
collection box. in the form OF party
Dues" will be overlooked.
For that reason the real leaders are
reported to be planning to put 10
minute limit on orations. and thus
give them time to get some OF the
root OF all evil" which, despite its
wicked name is so necessary to carry
out the present political program.
Among some OF the orators cx-
pccted are: Edgar Howard OF Co.
