FINE RAIN SAVES CROPS Protracted Drought Broken by Copious Showers—Thousands of Acres of Cabbage, Beets and Grain Benefited The protracted drouth which has prevailed throughout Southern California during the winter was broken this week by copious showers netting 2.49 inches. In the mountains the precipitation was much heavier, reports having it that from 6 to 10 inches fell. Up to Wednesday night of last week, when the storm began, no rain had fallen for several weeks, and the ground was dry. Not three inches had previously fallen, and of this about half fell in October, doing considerable harm. This early rain ruined a very promising tomato crop, and damaged chile peppers in many sections of the valley. After inflicting this damage upon the farmer, the weather clerk went temporarily out of commission, with the result that a fortnight since oldtimers said it looked very like a dry year. Two thousand acres of cabbage, as well as several thousand acres of sugar beets, and a large area of early-sown grain, began to show effects of the drouth. The rain came in the proverbial nick of time; and has been Ask a Compromise Wm. McLauchlin and Geo. W. Wood go to Riverside on Friday to presentatives of the Anaheim Water Company, in conjunction with a similar committee from Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company at the invitation of the Riversider Company and others in that against whom the two Valley companies some months ago b suit in the Federal Court to r them from illegal diversion of up the river. The conference is at the sug- of the Riversiders, and a discuss the merits of the situation w entered into. The valley irrigators have o another suit against the River who have practiced illegal divers water, and they feel they ha right upon their side in the pr suit. However, if amicable s of the problem may be arrived out going to law, the same w given due consideration. Reservoir in Fine Condition Engineer H. C.

Two thousand acres of cabbage, as well as several thousand acres of sugar beets, and a large area of early-sown grain, began to show effects of the drouth. The rain came in the proverbial nick of time; and has been worth thousands of dollars to growers. At Santa Ana, one of the principal dairymen, facing a season of drouth, disposed of his dairy herd of 220 head of cows. The sale netted about $50 a head. Rain was heavy in the mountain ranges, and in the higher altitudes considerable snow has fallen. According to Mr. Dickel's gauge the storm to noon on Wednesday amounted to 4.04 inches. Previously reported for the season, 2.72 inches. Following are gauge measurements for the downpour: Thursday morning to 6 o'clock, rain during preceding night, .59; Friday morning, 8 o'clock, .63; Saturday, 8 a.m., .38; Sunday, 8 a.m., .40; Monday, 4 p.m., .49; total 2.49 Monday evening the weather cleared, and it was cold during the night. Stars shone brightly, and indications pointed to an erding of the storm. No rain fell during the night. At 8 o'clock on Tuesday rain began falling and continued in a steady downpour until noon. Heavy showers prevailed on Tuesday afternoon and at 5 o'clock, when the rain ceased, 1.55 inches had been recorded for the day and preceding night. Total fall for the storm 4.04 inches; for the season, 6.72; last year to date, 12.57. Mr. Neff measured 4.01 for the storm, and for the season 7.21. Yesterday broke clear, the storm having passed. The rain saves crops and insures prosperity. An Electrical Exhibition The second entertainment in the Lyceum Course given by Prof. Waldorf of the grammar school, for the purpose of raising funds for the purchase of necessary school equipment, will occur at the opera house the evening of Feb. 5th, when Prof. W. J. Clarke, of New York City will give a novel and highly resilient exhibition. Reservoir in Fine Condition Engineer H. C. Kellogg, who only completed the Yorba reserve forms us that reports of excessive age are altogether erroneous. Why these wild statements regard the dam's instability should have given publicity, immediately after the annual meeting of Stockholm scheduled for last Saturday may agued better than described. So to say they are untrue, and it is hoped a recurrence of them would again be in evidence. Mr. Kellogg some time ago coined measuring boxes at the site dam, and one day last week found the total seepage amounted to inches. Two days thereafter measurement showed the seepage increased to 3 inches. The reservoir is being filled solutely no apprehension of its seepage is felt. It will be recalled that Mr. publicly stated a year ago that earthen dam would admit an in-erable seepage the first year after constructed, but that this time entirely disappear. It was stated by opponents of the reservoir year ago that the hills forming were gravelly and porous, but been proven erroneous. Althe reservoir is a fine construct is ready to fulfill its mission in building of the valley. It is w doubt one of the grandest achieves of the Water Company. Tim Carroll, who has traveled extensively throughout the West Rocky Mountain States and personally inspected many reservoirs he never saw an earthen dam not have some inconsequential first year after its constHe pronounces the Yorba reservoir solutely the best and safest he seen.

J. Clarke, of New York City will give a novel and highly entertaining exhibition. Prof. Clarke is probably the foremost electrician in the United States. He is in the employ of the government as electrical expert and oversees the responsible position of electrical engineer of New York City. He will give many exhibitions of the wonders of electricity, and will pass through his body a current of 100,000 volts of electricity. When it is understood that 11,000 volts are sufficient to cause death, it will be seen that this exploit is one of the greatest exhibitions of the kind ever attempted. Prof. Clarke will pass this current through the body of any one in the audience who desires it, and guarantees no ill effects. He will have a number of talking and singing electric lights in different parts of the hall and will weld six different kinds of metals by electricity. He will display an X-ray whereby one may see through his own body, and will have numerous cooking appliances, all operated by electricity: He will also operate an airship in the auditorium. On account of the especial interest attaching to the performance, Prof. Waldorf has reduced the price of admission to all school children to 25 cents. General admission, 50 cents. Rural Free Delivery Inspector Montanya of the rural delivery service, after laying fifth route from the local postparted on Tuesday for Los Angeles having been here a week. Montanya is a hard-working officer was out in the rain on Friday out the route and interviewed subscribers. He was rarely off postoffice before midnight, himself assiduously to the nature of the duties before him. In conversation with a representative of this journal, he said that of the rural free delivery system attested by its continual eagerness throughout the country. Colorado has some 300 routes, Southernnia having by far the better of the northern tier of counties. It has a single route of run delivery. He goes to Imperial this week to organize a route in that locality. His recommendation for the establishment of the new route been forwarded to Washington said service will probably be few weeks.

City Election in April A Faint Simmer Already Discernible Upon Surface of Municipal Political Pot—Fat Plums Ripening for Fray The municipal election occurs in April, and already no little interest is being taken in the contest. The candidates, a city treasurer, clerk and marshal are to be chosen, and probably candidates will be found so that no trouble will be encountered in finding people to fill the offices. Trustees Rust, Darling and Stock re-tire. The former has been mentioned as a candidate to succeed himself, while both the latter have announced their purpose not to run again. The office carries no salary. Whether the sharp contest of two years ago for city treasurer will be repeated is not yet definitely known, but signs point to a simmer in this part of the municipal political pot. Treasurer Hartung will probably be induced to run again, his big vote of two years ago being a factor in his favor, while Charley Boege may be induced to enter the race to make it interesting. The office pays a salary of $10 per month, as well as the handling of city funds. Sweeping In A After taking in remnants and broke stocked.

Robbed Cash Drawer Burglars entered the office of the Ganahl lumber company on Wednesday evening of last week and secured between $3 and $4 from the money drawer. The east door was forced open, the sash showing that consider-able pressure must have been used, the sash having been wrenched from its fastenings several inches above and below the lock. The burglars did not molest the safe which contained only the books and papers, but ransacked the money drawer as well as the desk drawers in the front office. On the carpet in Mr. Grim's private office footprints could be easily traced the next morning, the ground having been moist outside. The footprint was small, and as near as could be judged was made by new footwear. When Mr. Grim entered his office on Thursday morning the broken door told him burglars had visited him the night before; even if the topsy turvy condition of the office did not so. The money drawer was lying upon the counter its contents gone. Whether the sharp contest of two years ago for city treasurer will be repeated is not yet definitely known, but signs point to a simmer in this part of the municipal political pot. Treasurer Hartung will probably be induced to run again, his big vote of two years ago being a factor in his favor, while Charley Boege may be induced to enter the race to make it interesting. The office pays a salary of $10 per month, as well as the handling of city funds. Marshal Steadman will likely have opposition. Several names have been mentioned as possible opponents, among them John Brunworth and Harry Spielman. The office pays $100 salary and has the appointment of a deputy as well as a number of employees on the streets. City Clerk Merritt will probably be a candidate to succeed himself. The position pays $75 monthly, with a chance by industry and thriftiness of earning a few dollars more. As yet no one has been mentioned as an opponent. A vote on Sunday closing of saloons will also be taken, if present reports count for anything, and a lively contest is anticipated.

His son Jacob is here with his wife from Chico, as well as his daughter, Mrs. John Rimpau from Yuma, they having been summoned by telegraph. Ernest Everhardy and wife have been telegraphed to at Bisbee, A. T., and are expected at any time. Matt Everhardy was here on Saturday from Los Angeles but returned to the city on Monday. Mr. Everhardy has suffered with paralysis for some months past. He was down town driving with his daughter, Miss Annie Everhardy, a fortnight since, but for some days past has been confined to his home. He is an old and highly esteemed resident, and the wish is universal that he may soon recover. His condition yesterday was reported as improving.
