WATER IS POURING OVER THE LEVEES Fresh Breaks Occur Near Freeport and Acres of Valuable Land | May Be Damaged. SACRAMENTO, Feb. 26.—The situation down the river is more serlous- to-night than ever. Two fresh breaks in the.levee below Freeport occurred this morning, and they have gradually widened until | one of them is now forty feet across and | the other sixty. | The braaks are 200 or 300 feet apart, and | should the space of levee still standing between the two succumb, as it is feared it must, an immense volume of water wiil descend from the river upon thousands of acres of valuable land included in the river district. The river at Freeport to-night showed a decrease of one and a half inches, a cir- cumstance which -offers hope, since the water had been on a level with the crest of the levee, and the slightest increase would have swept it over the banks. Here sides of the river discovered gopher hol through which the water had found i:: way, thus undermining the earthen bar- riers; but through the strictest vigilance these holes were attended to before harm resulted. The same care is being exer-, cised to-night, and will continue until the period of danger has passed. The water is pouring through the Freeport breaks seven feet deep, and it is feared that the continued washing will melt the levee away. The Supervisors at a special meeting to- night decided to put a piledriver at work to-morrow at the scéme of the rted breaks. It is belleved that by driving | Retd, special district deputy grand ma- | dall assistant deputy grand master. ! allege he may friends claim he is now en route home. | which_is spreading rapidly. piles in the river in front and on the sides of the breaks and then depositing brush and sandbags behind these works the flood may be checked at other points of the river.

SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 26.—Seventy-four | members of the local lodge of Rebekahs had a pecullar experience last night. They were to have instituted a new lodge of Rebekahs at Boulder Creek early in the evening, but the lodge was not called to order until 1:30 o'clock this morning and did not close until 6 o'clock. The Re- bekahs had expected to return on a spe- clal train to Santa Cruz shortly after midnight, but they did not arrive fn Boulder Creek until after that hour. The Rebekahs left this city shortly after 5 o'clock. When their train was a mile beyond Felton it was stopped by a wash- cut fifty feet long and forty feet in depth. The grade had given way just ten min- utes before the arrival of the train and was not discovered untll the train. was almost upon it. Had it occurred during of life would have resulted. The wash- out was caused by water backing up against a small culvert, eventually caus- ing the fill to give way. The train backed to Felton, took aboard timber, section men and the Southern Pacific bridge carpenters and carried ther to the scene of the washout, where for six hours they worked until a culvert was completed and the grade filled in. The train passed over safely, reaching Boulder fifteen minutes after midnight. It had been planned to have a banquet after the institution of the lodge, but this programme was changed and the banquet came first. The lodge opened at 1:3) o'clock and the new branch was installed with seventy-one charter members. The work was conducted by Mrs. Cornelia tron, assisted by Mrs. Kate Wessendorf, as grand marshal, and Mrs. A. W.
