He states that about 2700 acres of asparagus land was ruined and nearly 50,000 acres of wheat land suffered great damage. Had the| storm of February 16 or those of March | 10 or March 27 continued an infinitely ! greater amount of injury would have ruary there were twenty-three days and in March twenty-six. McAdie says the flood demonstrated rainy | | thsat the Sacramento River system is| whoily inadequate for the carrying off | of an abnormal rainfall. He thinks it easily possible for 1,812,100,000,000 cubic feet of water to fall in the Sacramento | district within a period of ninety days. L In such case the damage that would| likely result to property would be al-| most inestimable. McAdie is of the opinion that the| break in the levee four miles below Sacramentp saved the capital city from & possible overflow. The break at Sher- man Island, he claims, saved Brannan, Twitchell and Andrus islands. At the different stations maintained by the Weather Bureau the rainfall was any- where from 100 to 280 per cent in ex- cess of normal conditions. McAdie quotes. statistics to show that there have been several floods in| the Sacramento River Valley, but much of the land overflowed in previous years was not under cultivation, so the property loss was not‘so great.

Through the alertness of Turnkey Thomas Burke on duty at'the door of the City Prison, Fred Ross, an ex- convict, was arrested last night and charged with attempting to smuggle opium into the jail to John Black, the desperate hold-up man, who was ar- rested a few days ago. Ross called to see Black and was seen by Burke to reach into his pocket and attempt to pass something to Black. Burke de- signed the plan of the ex-convict and immediately accused him of trying to give Black opium. Ross denied the allegation. He was promptly searched and a large quantity of the drug found on his person. G lJudge Hebbard Finds That 1 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, e HALE'S.
