It seems to have come on the heels of the Oregon pafty now visiting here. Rain fell as far south as San Luis Obispo and Fresno. The greatest precipitation reported to the Weather Bureau was in San Francisco. Thé gauges on the top of the Mills build- ing registered nearly two-thirds of an | inch for the day. More snow fell in the mountains. The rivers of Northern California were carrying a big volume of water last night, and McAdie predicts the Sacra- mento to rige further to-day, from Syca- more to Clarksburg at least. At Colusa the river had reached the danger point last night, but was falling. At Sacra- mento the river had reached a depth of | twenty and one-half feet, which is about five feet below the danger point. At Red | Bluff, Tehama and Oroville the water had lowered somewhat. If much more rain comes there is likely to be trouble from overflows. | A report from Summit came in yester- day stating that the snow at that place averaged eleven feet in depth. The snow was still falling and the winds were strong. The rainfall has been light in the San Joaquin Valley and that section of the State still needs more moisture. The | forecaster thinks that all of California | north of the Tehachapi will be visited by | showers again to-day. The seasonal rainfall is still several inches less than normal. All danger of severe losses as a result of the protracted dry spell have been removed as far as the northern half of the State is con- cerned. The ground is in excellent con- ditlon and crops should be as good as The principal danger at present ig in the possibility of continued rains, which may cause disastrous floods in the valleys. \ L A FEATHER AND YUBA RISING. Fears of Flood Are Groundless, as Levees Are Holding. MARYSVILLE, Jan. 17.—More heavy rain fell to-day and the Feather and Yuba rivers registered eighteen feet. The rain that fell in the mountains during the day will cause a rise in the rivers to-day. The high water mark is twenty- one feet, but the last four feet requires more water than six feet up to that point, as the rivers spread over a broad territory after reaching the seventeen- fcot mark. The continued rain causes some anxiety, but it probably is not just- ifled. All the levees are safe as far as re- ported. REDDING, Jan. 17.—Another storm broke over Shasta County to-day and rain is steadily falling to-night. Flakes of snow fell here to-day at intervals, and reports received this evening indicate a heavy fall of snow in the mountains. The’ creeks in all parts of the county are ris- ing again and from all indications another big storm is on the programme. Reports of damage by the storm of Monday night continue to come in. While great dam- age was done and several accldents are recorded no lives were lost. SACRAMENTO, Jan. 17.—Warm, gentle rains continue to fall in this locality. The precipitation for the season to date is 6.54 inches, agalnst 10.57 to a corre- sponding date last season. Snow is still falling in the Sierra Ne- vada mountains, the total depth at Cas- cade being thirteen feet. Rotary - snow plows are being used between Truck=e and Tunnel 13 and the track has been kept clear. The river at Sdcramento registered 21.3 feet this morning and is still rising. It can stand a rise of nearly ten feet addi- tional, however, before the high water mark is reached. The rains have caused the grass to spring up and fields that were brown a week ago are now covered with verdure. SAN JOSE, Jan. 17.—An even quar ter of an inch of rain fell last night, making a total of 532 inches for the sea- son, as against 10.71 inches last season for the corresponding date. Light rain feil to-day and heavy clouds overhang the valley. The streams are higher than at any time during the winter. STOCKTON, Jan. 17.—The storm con- tinues in this section and the farmers are crying “enough.”. If the rain continues much longer fear Is expressed that water from the Sacpvamento River will overflow lands in this county. The channels and waterways hereabouts, however, can handle a much larger volume of water than ‘they are carrying now. A heavy rainstorm set ip this afternoon and in six hours it is cemputed that half an inch fell. The lower part of the town is flooded. HOLLISTER, Jan. 17.—Ninety-seven one hundredths of an inch of rain fell here during the last twenty-four hours, making 3.82 inches for the storm and 6.06 inches for the season. The outlying dis- tricts report a much larger rainfall. NAPA, Jan. 17.—The heavy storm in progress in Napa for several days con- tinued here to-day. The rainfall for twenty-four hours up to 7 o'clock this evening amounted to .72 of an inch. The Napa River is running even with its banks and creeks are rising rapidly. The total rainfall for the season to date amounts to 11.84 inches, against 15.76 inches at cor- responding date last year. AUBURN, Jan. 171t rained steadily all day and is raining heavily to-night. The rainfall for the storm is 9.68 inches, and for the season 13.71 inches; last sea- son to date 22.28 inches. 3 SANTA ROSA, Jan. 17.—The storm still continues and was more severe to-day than at any time since it began. Almost nine inches of rain has fallen since the storm broke, which makes the total for the season close on to thirteen inches. Stories of damage and even death are beginning to come In, but so far it has been impossible to verify the latter. All the streams are running full, and at Healdsburg the Russian River is out of its banks and flowing across the county road, making it impossible to enter the town from the south except by rail. Near ' Uklah yesterday two Women were thrown into the stream while attempting to ford it and were rescued with difficulty. Near down the stream this morning, saddled and bridled, and it Is believed the riders have been drowned. S BAKERSFIELD, Jan, 17.—At 4 o’clock this afternoon a north wind set in and light showers commenced falling. At 7 p. m. a heavy downfall commenced, and if it continues for six or seven hours the county will be greatly benefited.

Mrs. Hutchinson, on horseback, at- tempted to ford a stream which the recent storm had swollen. Her horse's feet were washed from under him and Mrs. Hutchinson was carried out of the saddle.

N. Gray to Be Released | From Custody. Judge Cook yesterday ordered the writs of habeas corpus in the cases of George F. Gray and H. N. Gray dis- charged and the prisoners released. They were convicted in Police Judge Fritz’'s court for violating order 813 of the Board of Supervisors by carry- ing on blasting operations in the vicin. ity of Telegraph Hill. A peculiar fea- ture of the case was the disappearance of the complaint in the Police Court. The Judge In rendering his decision pointed out that the judgment in the lower court reads that the defendants were convicted “as appears by the com- plaint on file” It was admitted that no complaint was on file at the time of sentence and both Clerks Doran and Duftee when sworn utterly failed to establish the fact of any complaint be- ing on file at the time of the trial There. was therefore grave doubt whether any complaint was ever ac- tually on file and if not then clearly the court had no jurisdiction to even try the case, much less pronounce judg- ment. Judge Cook said he had con- cluded that the reference in the judg- ment to a complaint, which it was ad- mitted was not then on file, either orig- inal or substituted copy, rendered the judgment vold. «Take care of the child and the man will take care of himself.” The most important part of the care of a child is the feeding.
