All of the streams are running full, and while there has been some damage from cloudbursts in the desert and moun- tain section the rainfall in the agri- | cultural districts has been just right to help and encourage the farmers. Thef | ages of all crops will be planted for mef next season. H SANTA CRUZ, Sept. 24.—The precip- itation in Santa Cruz was more than four inches at 6 o'clock to-night, and | at Boulder Creek 6.75 inches. The table | grape cron on the vines is almost a! complete loss, and the loss of wine grapes is very heavy.

At 9 o'clock this/| evening the precipitation was 6.30 inches. Previous to the present storm the September rainfall has never been | more than 3.17, this amount falling in 1898. The storm has done untold dam- age to the lima bean crop, and in the| city the violence of the storm has been | so great that trees have been uprooted | and other damage done. | SANTA ROSA, Sept. Rain fell | here in great quantities to-day. The streets were flooded almost from curb | to curb. Thunder and lightning came at intervals. Late this afternoon the, rain came down in torrents. P | FRESNO, Sept. 24—Rain has beenl falling here steadily all day. Though ! the weather forecasts given out by Weather Observer Bolton gave the rai- | sin growers plenty of time to stack| their trays, many" raisins have been| ruined.

The still threatening and more in probably will fall to-night. While it will bring the young grass if fol- lowed by a warm spell and will make for fine pasturage, the rain will cause con- siderable damage to the late fruit crops. On Packers Island there were about forty tons of prunes still in the trays. Along the river levee there is es- timated to be in the neighborhood of 10,000 sacks of grain in this county alone.
