The large area of de- | pression on the Pacific Coast was first noted | Jast Thursday evening, and that has remained vith us now five days, and is still only about | 20 or 400 miles inland from the coast. Rain or snow has fallen over the entire coun- try west of the Rocky Mountains. The rain will extend to Mexico and Lower California. A very interesting feature of the combination of the high and the low pressure approaching | 8o closely is the heavy snowfall along the lines where the barometric gradients are steep- est. The cold wave i{s pushing southward, and | freezing weather prevails over mearly all the | couptry west of the Rocky Mountains, except along the coast of California and in the valleys | and Southern Arizona. At altitudes above 1000 feet snow has fallen generally In Northern California. | “Storm warnings were displayed to-day along | the entire Pacific Coast. The etorm has been of untold value to the State, and gives us a actory supply of water. That it has 1 d all the crops is evident from the cheer- the bureau from | B | scctions of the State. | Following is an extract from Mr. Mec- Adie's report on the storm: reports received by During the early part of the week the weather continued warm and cloudy, or partly Ccloudy. Rain commenced falling on the 16th in the central and northern portions, extending | southward and covering the entire State by the 17th, the precipitation continuing in nearly | @il sections up to the 15th, accompanied by cooler weather. This has been the heaviest rainfall of the season, and in some sections tre heaviest for two or three years. The bene- fit to all agricultural interests is inestimable, as it gives new life to fruit trees and vines, | irereases the water supply in the districts of scanty rainfall, softens the soll for immediate cultivation and revives pasturage and early sown grain. In a few places in the northern coast section the soil has become too wet for | present cultivation, but in all other sections Jlowing and seeding will now be -crowded for- ward with vigor, with good prospects for the largest acreage of grain for several years, Orange picking has been temporarily sus- pended in some localities owing to the raln, But the crop has not been injured, and prospects ontinue good for an unusually heavy yleid in 11 clitrus districts. Walnut picking is com- Pleted, the crop baving matured about two weeks earlier than usual. LOGAN SAFE AND SOUND. *| Report That She Turned Turtle in the Gale Unfounded. ‘While the wind was blowing a terrific gale and the rain was coming down in torrents a report went abroad last night that the transport Logan had turned over in the big drydock at Hunters Point. Scrgeant Lewis and Policeman Henley | of the South San Francisco police station osed accident. Pohe officers arrived at the dock shortly before midnight and instead of finding a wrecked transport and everything in a stete of excitement they were surprised to see the big boat calmly resting with her top right side up and her men peace- fully snoozing. The crew was as much surprised to hear the story of the alleged ml?;mp as they would have been had it really taken place. ————————— BAD WEATHER CAUSES MANY FALSE ALARMS Fire Department Answers Numerous Calls Caused by Crossed ‘Wires. The stormy weather of last night was the cause of numerous alarms which called out the Fire Department. Within Everybody | Season. | drove post haste to the scene of the sup- | two hours eight alarms were turned in, all of which were caused by the crossing ot wires. Between 7 and 8 p. m. answered two alarms; the engines were called out twice, and be- | tween 9 and 10 p. m. they ran out for four false alarms. In each and every case the tapping of the bell was caused by crossed wires. the department Chutes Fence Blown Down. Travelers on the Haight-street car line | were late in reaching thelr homes owing | to the flerceness of the storm. The fence surrounding the CLutes was blown down late in the ecvening effectually blocking the Haight-street cars. The debris was finally removed and travel resumed. r i i STORM XING DISPORTS ON OAKLAND STREETS Oak Tree and, Telegraph Poles Knocked Down and Horse Killed by Live Wire. OAKLAND, Nov. 20.—A gale of wind and heavy raln to-night wrecked enough of the electric light wires to leave Oak- land in partial darkness and to cut off Berkeley, which is supplied from the Oak- land Gas Light and Heat Company’s plant in this eity. The storm demoralized the telephone system, played havoc with signs and awnings and caused at least two dangerous accidents. Shortly after 10 o'clock in a particularly heavy gale the | immense false front on the newly re- modeled Bacon building at Twelfth and | Washington streets was swept off its sup- ports. ‘The heavy wooden frame work ripped off tne cornice work along the roof eaves and toppled over on to the mass of telegraph and telephone wires along the Twelfth-street side of the building. A large portion of the roof was smashed and ripped up by the violent wind. Trees were blown down in all sections of the city. At Fifth and Madison streets a large oak toppled over, carrying electric light wires with it. Frank Siiva, a driver for Buchanan's dairy, was crossing Sev- enth and Madison streets with his wagon when his horse stepped on a live arc light wire. Tae animal was instantly killed. Silva jumped and escaped injury. Police- men guarded the dangerous wirs until the circuit could be cut out and the Gas Com- pany, which handles the electric lighting as well, cut off the circuits as fast as re- orts of broken wires were made. This eft half the city in darkness. Repalrs could not be made to either the city or the Berkeley lines to-night, because of the extreme danger in which the line men would be placed. ot M R | ALL CALIFORNIA BENEFITED. | At Los Angeles the Rainfall Amounts to an Inch. 1OS ANGELES, Nov. 20.—Almost an- other inch of rain has fallen within the last twenty-four hours, making the total for the season 2.95 Inches. The floodgates of the heavens have opened just at the right moment and Southern California is properly thankful. The predictions are favorable for a continuation of the wet ;veather during the next twenty-four Lours. WOODLAND, Nov. 20.—There was another heavy shower last night, and pre- ceding it flakes of snow (efi for a few minutes. Indications for a very wet win- | ter are multiplying every day. The or- chardists are particularly “anxious, as wany trees in Yolo County will die’ this season unless the ground is thoroughly soaked with rain, PETALUMA, Nov. 20.—A heavy rainfall was recorded here to-day. During last night and to-day .9 of an inch fell. For the season to date, says W. A. F. Stratton, the local weather prophet, 589 inches has fallen, which is about half the amount to the same date last season.

STOCKTON, Nov. 20.—A steady rain has been falling all day, but up to 9 o'clock this evening It was not very heavy. The gauge showed that 1,07 inches had been recelved to-day, mak- ing a total of 6.33 for the storm and 4.6 for the season, as against 592 for the same time a year a‘fo. A strong south { wind is blowing and the indications are for a further downpour.

HUNTER AND GRIZZLY FALL FROM A CLIFF Locked in a Death Struggle, Both Are Hurled to Destruction. ©pecial Dispatch to The Call. Young, the best known white hunter of the Harrison Lake district and official adopted son of the chief of the Dougi Indians, met a horrible death last Satur- day as the culmination of a long and ter- rible fight with a grizzly bear. The details were received here to-day by Indian Agent | Frank Devlin, an Indlan runner having brcught out a letter containing the news from Anderson Lake, which is 150 miles from Vancouver.

He had barely time to snatch his long hunting knife from his belt before the grizzly grappled with him. Evidently the hunter used his knife to gocd effect, for the snow crust upon the spot where occurred the fight for life was red with the bear's blood. The scene of the conflict was within a few yards of one of the steep precipices | often found in the Cascade Mountains.
