The barley was slightly lodged by the rain of the 11th. Excepting Saturday, May 9th there was scarcely any sunshine during the week, which may have slightly retarded the curing of new-mown hay. On Wednesday, May 13th, a heavy rain occurred on the western part of the Raneho Alamitos, resulting in half an inch of water at that locality: No material damage being reported. 25 Years Ago May 15, 1916 The First National Bank, one of the oldest and most substantial banking institutions in the state, has commenced the wrecking of its present building on the corner of Center and Los Angeles streets, to be replaced by a modern three story structure.
