SALINAS, March 15.—The rain storm which for the has been so general all over the State reached | this city and vicinity this morning. At 8 o'clock it began to rain in earnest, and at 1 o'clock the precipitation was .84 of an inch, while up to 6 o'clock to-night 1.12 had fallen. Not only in this immediate section, but all over the county, the rainfall has been quite heavy in the last twelve hours. The storm is con- sidered the salvation of Monterey County. The situation was becoming serious and business was virtually at a standstill. Many ranchers had already left parts of this county for other points, while those that remained tried to de- vise some . means of irrigation. Up to yester- day over 100 irrigation plants were in operation for the first time in the immediate vicinity of Salinas. Many orders for outfits have been canceled now on account of the rain. All farmers In this vicinity are sure of a crop. | Reports to-night from points south in this val- ley give the precipitation as follows: Gonzales, P R e e HOW FARMERS VENT THEIR JOY ANTIOCH, March 15.—One inch of rain has fallen here, and it is still falling. It Is the insurance policy on good times and prosperity. Staid old farmers drive into fown and run their horses through the streets as a means of giving vent to some of their pent-up enthusiasm. Antloch’s prospects never looked brighter. Rain has made an abun- dant harvest a certainty. That, to- gether with the large area of tule land tributary to Antioch that has just been reclaimed and the Valley Raiiroad building along the water front, will certainly “make the old town boom.™ Yttt rtttttrrtiitt O R R R ed at the pranks the | in | in- | That may | but | on a certain | comes | this rain that everybody has been hoping | west wind and frost, without | ever shaking a bush or blowing a horn | with, more | > rain slanting down on a | d, drooiing California | | weather doesn’t stop trifling with me I'm eneral from | entral off the Califor- | sh- | Fearsrhave been dispelled and only | 4| that never Zall to coma during R ¢ “ THANKS, JUPITER PLUVIUS, THANKS.” [ @000 0000000000000060+0+060000500000 PRAYERS FOR RAIN LOS ANGELES, March 15.—This was the day set apart for humilia- tion and prayer, and the storm clouds are at hand as if in readiness to precipitate a downpour in answer to the fervent supplications sent heavenward. “Man shall not live by bread alonhe,” was the keynote of the prayer service held at the First Methodist Church. Whether business men deemed this an unseemly hour to indulge in prayer for rain, or whether they have more faith in the artificial means suggested to the Cham- ber of Commerce by different experts, is hard to say. Certain it is that the business element was not largely represented. Rev. Mr. Smith had charge and spoke earnestly of the Indifference of the people to accept the promises of God. He dwelt upon the necessity of rain in the spirit- ual world. That, he said, was more necessary than rain in the phy- sical world. He believed God was abie to answer the prayers of His children. The Christian Alliance held services of humiliation, and the members sought with prayer and fasting to place themselves in line with the will of God and know why He withheld rain from the earth. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union heeded the call for hu- miliation and held an all-day service in accordance with the general supplication for epiritual and physical rain. This evening services were held in the Congregational, First Christian, Vincent Methodist Episcopal and Episcopal churches. THE PRAYER FOR RAIN ANSWERED.

It is expected the coming season will be one of un- equaled prosperity in Solano County. TOCKTON, March 15.—The rainfall up to 9 o'clock to-night, according to the gauge at the State Hospital, was 1.38 inches, making 1.50 for | the month and 8 inches for the season, against 494 to the same date last year. The loss of | the wheat crop is placed beyond possibility by | the fall of to-day. Reports from Tracy, on the | west side, and from Clements, in the northern Part of the county, are of heavier precipita- | | tion there than in Stockton, and that is where | rain will do the greater amount of good. The acreage in wheat in San Joaquin County, par- | ticularly on the west side, is larger than for | many vears, and a greater prosperity is there- | fore sure to follow the making of a big crop.

The temperature, however, was too_high for rain until late in’the after. noon, when a downpour began which has con- | tinued steadily for several hours, and bids fair | to be one of the heaviest storms ever exepri- | enced in this part of the valley. Up to 10| o'clock nearly three-quarters of an inch had | fallen, and the rain was still coming down in | torrents.
