RAIN HITS PARCHED WEST COAST AREA Fears of Further Shortage of Power Allayed by Pre- cipitation. By the Associated Press. BAN FRANCISCO, December §.— Barometers were falling steadily along the Pacific Coast today, definitely marking the end of the longest drought in half a century, broken yesterday by a general rain which swept down from the British Columbia coast to as far south as Fresno, Calff. Although light in Northern and Central California, the rainfall in the Northwest was sufficient to allay fears of a further electric power shortage, while ranchers and agriculturists were jubilant over the promise of more rain today and tomprrow. ‘Washington, Dregon, Idaho, Nevada and Utah received a wetting, as did Northern and Central California, where parched ranges and farm lands to as far south as Fresno were benefited. After half an inch of rain had fallen over the week end in Vancouver, British Columbia, the weather grew colder last night and snow fell. Rainfall Lasts Entire Night. In Seattle rain fell throughout the night, as it did in Tacoma, where more moisture was promised for the next 24 hours, At La Grande and Lake Cushman, Wash,, where two municipal power plants are located, little rain fell, but indications were for a general down- pour, which would ease up the shortage of power, serious in Tacoma and other Puget Sound cities. * In Salt Lake City a light rain fell intermittently and the weather was | unsettled early today. Rainfall in Portland amounted to 154 inches, twice the entire precipitation for November. Snow fell in the uplands of Oregon and a general downpour was expected today. First Rain in Four Months at Reno. A light shower, the first rain in four months, fell in Reno. Reports from mountainous sections west of there said the ground was covered with an inch of snow, with the storm continuing. Rain was predicted for Los Angeles and Southern California today. While the drought in the southern part of the State has not been serious, agricultu- rists have been worried. A nominal lack of precipitation has hampered Fall ploying in Montana, but snows during the last week have sup- g:ied adequate moisture. Precipitation ‘Wyoming and New Mexico is normal, and in Colorado a bit above normal. An unusually heavy snowfall during Novem- ber was experienced in the latter State. TWO ARE SEIZED IN RAID ON HARVARD APARTMENT J_:ry Agents Arrest Pair on Charges of Keeping Liquor to Sell to Students. By the Assoclated Press. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., December 9.— Prohibition sleuths paid their second successive week end visit to the vicinity of Harvard University, when a squad of local police entered an apartment in exclusive Fairfax Hall Saturday night to seize 20 gallons of alleged liquor. Two men were arrested and charged with keeping and exposing liquor for sale, They iden themselves as John O. Ware, 29, and Edward Dunlin, 34. The hall is the place of residence of many Harvard students. Police said the building was the property of the university. Neither Ware nor Dunlin, however, was connected with Harvard. Just & week ago, Federal prohibition agents arrested two alleged bootleggers outside of Russell Hall after Harvard students had complained to Maj. Henry E. Goodnough, assistant prohibition ad- ministrator, that persistent lquor sales- men were becoming nuisances in the dormitories. JOIN CALLES WELCOME.
