No Immediate Danger of City Being |3 Flooded Is Anticipated. STOCKTON, Feb. —It is met be- lieved late to-night that this city stands in any immediate danger from flooding. While the San Joaquin River and the channels in and about Stoc! ton are running bank full and very near to the danger point, it is thought that there will be a slight fall by | | morning unless an unexpected amount | of er should come out of the foot- | hills. - In the mountains east of this v the rain has béen very heavy. A two inches “of water . fell at Sonora last night. The storm | softened the Sierra Railroad’s roadbed in several places and | to avoid every possible accident no trainc were run over the Angels branch to-day. The Calaveras River | and Mormon Slough aré reported to be rising above Linden, but in this city Mormon Slough was falling slowly and runni luggi; Owners of reclaimed lands on the islands are naturally in a state of agi- tation, but so far no reports have come of brok: levees, but at several points danger is being guarded against by trengthening the embankments. The Mokelumne is still booming and is flooding the northern nart of the coun- ty, but it is now thought that the highest point has been reached. Although showers have been fre- quent during the last few days the rain was so light that the total for Thursday and Friday, and up to this morning, amounted only .36 of an inch. At 8:30 a. m. to-day the total for the month was 4.02 and for the sea- | son to date 8.40 as against 6.84 for tha corresponding veriod last season. It is the rains in the mountains that ren- Ger the situation uncertain. Their full force is sometimes not felt here till forty-eight hours aft the storm. The | San Joaquin is carrying the volume well so far, and while this continues there is no danger of backwater in Stockton channels. To-night all of the streams in the city have full two and a | half feet or more between them and the street grades. - HEAVY RAIN AT TELD. il‘lrmrrs and Stockmen Are Rejoicing and Outlook Is Excellent. BAKERSFIELD, Feb. ~— THhe hardest downpour of the season visited Bakersfield and Kern County this af- ternoon. A slight shower came early this morning, just enough to wet the ground. At 2.0'clock it began to rain | hard and continued all the afternoon | and evening. At this writing the out- | look is that it will continue all or the | greatér part of the night. The rain is general throughout the county. In | this city about an inch of rain has| fallen. The rain will be of the greatest benefit to farmers and stockmen. The | outlook ‘for these interests is now ex- 1 cellent. The ditches are full and there | is plenty of snow in the mountains to | AL Two Inches of Rain at Fresno. FRESNO, Feb. 27..—The finest rain | of the season has vigited this section | during the past twenty-four hours and fruit growers can Light showers fell during the early part of last night and about midnight a steady downpour began, continuing through- out the night and all day to-day, and at this hour, 16:30 p. m., shows no sign of abating. It is just the kind of a storm needed to do the country the most good, a warm, slow, constant drizzle that is soaking up the ground thoroughly. The fall so far is 1.7 inches and is very likely to be 2 inches before it ceases. Reports from all over the county are that the down- pour has been very timely and has guaranteed fine crops from the grain flelds, =~ ° iy 5 ds of silk.

On the east side, ten miles below Colusa, three large and damaging breaks occurred, the worst of which was on Dr. Jacobs' place, from which | the water is rushing into district 70. It is estimated that 300 acres of the | most choice Sutter County farming land will be flooded. | Another large break occurred about o'clock this morning on the Doty place, two miles below Meridian, and still another on the Sills place on the Sutter County side, below Grimes. | These breaks relieved the strain on the west side and the farmers, whose hopes wera nearly gone, are again taking courage and watching the weak places with renewed energy.

Griffith has sixteen head of cattle back in the Yuba bottoms somewhere that as yet have not been located. M. C. Lazier has fifty head of cattle, and it is said sixteen hors wandering the bottoms, provided they succumbed to the flood. The levee on the ranch of the late Senator Boggs, fourteen miles above Colusa, is in a very dangerous condi- tion. Part of it has been carried away and a large force of men are at | around in have not work building a cofferdam of sacks and dirt around the break. On an-| other part of this ranch there were sixteen leaks within half a mile, most- ly caused by gophers. The backwater from the Feather River reached to within a few miles of Princeton and-covered the farms of Messrs. Steele, Armstrong and Mc- Connell. Many families were com-' pelled to move away from their flood- ed homes, leaving their stock on the levee tops. Across the river from Co- lusa more than fifty head of horses and cattle can be seen on the levees, with the water only a few feet from the top on either side. Several horses and a number of sheep and hogs have already perished in the floods and' should the high water continue a few days more the loss of stock will be considerable.

LLOS ANGELES, Feb. 27.—Although it had rained all around Los Angeles County during fall having been extremely heavy in places, no rain fell in this city during the present storm until 2 o'clock this afternoon. when the storm broke here in a manner which indicates that it may make up for much that Los An- geles has missed in the way of pre- cipitation. A steady downpour began and continued until after 10 o’clock without ceasing. During that time more than an inch of rain fell in some parts of the city and out Pa ena way the rainfall was much heavier. From Echo Mountain, near Mount Lowe, to-night came the report that nearly three inches of rain had fallen during the day. Most needed in the agricultural districts, the storm was heaviest in those districts and in tha grain gections of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties ihe precipita. tion was heavier for a given time than that of any previous storm this season. To the northward, through the broad Antelope Valley, there was a tremen- dous rainfall. It was in this section that it was perhans most welcome, for there are thousands cf head of cattle there, which have been suffering for feed and water.
