T HAS CLEARED UP FOR AWHILE, at least, thank
God. “The storm has been one of the very worst ever
éxperienced in this part of the State, and the same can
be said of the elements not only on the Pacific Coast, but
throughout the United States. No section has had a monopoly of the fearful storms or have been slighted, for in
every quarter north, south, east and west it has been tem—
pestuous and rough, resulting in great destruction to life
and property. At this time we are able to see visible effects
ot the storm and chronicle the same, but when telegraphic
and telephone communication is restored to the various
points througheut the country it is probable that the damage
‘to property in some sections will be found to be appalling.
In this section the storm was at its height early Sunday morning, when we were visited with a terrible hurricane
which lasted for some time. While it raged for an hour or
wo, to many it seemed a year or more in duration, and if it
had continued God Almighty would only have known of the
fearful results. The people were so much alarmed that they
hardly knew what to do, fearing at almost any moment that
their homes would be wrecked and that they would be
buried in the debris. In many places throughout town,
where the houses were more exposed to the fury of the wind
and were shaken like leaves, the women and children were
huddled -together in frantic terror, expecting every minute
to be their last. Sleep was out of the question, and many a
person could not find repose in sleep for several hours afterward on account of the nervous shock which they suffered.
It was truly a fearful night and the thrilling experiences of
people would fill a large .volume.
The damage doue in various parts of the State is something enormous, and it will take several days before the full
details and entire loss can be procured, Buildings, fences
and trees have been blown down or carried away, railroad
tracks are inundated or washed away all through the lowlands and traffic is about at a standstill all over California.
The valley lands have suffered greatly and in many cases
the farmers have had their ranches completely inundated and
their crops destroyed, while their fruit orchards have been
literally blown to pieces. In our own section where we are
protected to a great degree by -the high mountain peaks,
the wind-storm was bad enough, but through the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys where the tornado had a
clean sweep for miles, the damage must have been something enormous and we should not be surprised to learn of
a great number of fatalities.
When this morning came with a cloudless sky and
the sun rose in all its brilliancy, many a heart beat with
true happiness. and gratitude to feel and realize that the
worst was over. Not so much for the pedple here, however,
was there so much alarm felt as for those who live in the
valleys and lowlands of, the State where the waters
suround them, and-towhom the future looks black. _Thousands of people doubtless are on the border of desperation and are sick and discouraged at heart over
their present gloomy outlook, which, only a few
days ago, was exceedingly bright and promising. It
is indeed a great calamity to the many farmers in the
lower country, and one that it will take
cover from.
At 12 o'clock today the Assessors of the various counties of the State commence their work of assessing property
for the present fiscal year, but the Assessors in the valley
sections will find that the value of the assessment rolls has
decreased immensely as a result_of the late and terrific storm.
Without doubt, it was the fiercest and most destructive windthat the State has ever experienced.

All Kinds of Property
Damaged Last Saturday Night.
The great wind storm that visited
this section last Saturday night left a
trail of wreekage that will foot up
considerable in the way of an aggregate loss. All kinds ef property was
damaged more or less, Never in the
history ef this section of the country
has such a terrific wind prevailed.
As it raged and increased in its fury
it struck terror to the hearts of
many. Fortunately, no one was injured, and we can reconcile ourselves with the fact that we fared no
woree than other places. Below we.
give-a-number of items concerning
the damage in this locality:
The reof over the Grotto saloon on
lower Main street was lifted by a gust of
wind and landed on the adjoining building. Had the roof been ‘blown into
the street some passer-by would prébably have been: killed. The interior
was not damaged in the least, anda
force of workmen started to repair
the building yesterday morning.
Out at Wet Hill an old dwelling oc
cupied by James Kelly was partially
blown down. Mr. Kelly decided to
get out of the place when the wind
was high. It was a lucky move for
him, as the collapse of a portiom of the
house soon followed.
A eircuit breaker got out of order
on tbe electric railroad, and _ traffie
was stopped before ten o’clock.
Shortly after nine o’clock the electric
lights went out, and several telephone
wires were also broken.
A cedartree fully 60 feet high fell ona
barn at James Grose’s place, near the.
County Hospital. Had the tree fallen
in the opposite direction it would have
crasbed into the dwelling house. This
was @ very narrow escape, wherein
loss of life might have followed.
At Alex. Durbin’s residence on
Aristccracy Hill the entire porch was
blown down.
The damage tothe dwelling house
on W. G. Richards’ ranch, beyond Indian Flat, was considerable. The
structure, which is a new one, was
moved two feet from its foundation,
Mr. Taylor, who has charge of the
place, vacated it-ia short order, being
compelled to spend the night outdoors. He took his blankets with him
and “bunked it” as best he could: ‘The
large gates near the house were hurled
from their hinges and portions of
the fence blown down.
Shade and fruit trees around town
were up-rooted by the score. At the
school grounds three large trees were
overturned. The fence back of the
Washington Schoolhouse was also
blown down. In the yard at the old
office building at Allan’s Foundry two
trees gave way tothe big storm. One
of them fell against the porch and
knocked it to pieces. A tree in front
of Rev. J. Sims’ residence and one
near Mrs. John Hamilton’s place were
also.blown down.
On Grove street several fences were
blewn down, among them the ones on
the properties . belonging to Ed.
Tompkins and’ Joseph Eustis. The
southeast corner of the roof en Mrs,
Jacob Naffzlger’s house on the same
street, was torn from the building. At
C. Beichtol’s' residence the fence was
also damaged.
At Mark Roberts’ home on Alexander street the chimney toppled-over
on the roof, Several of the flues all
over town were injured more or less
The Suspension bridge got a good
rocking, end people who usually go
that way touk the-leong turu around.
Among the signs that were torn from
their -fastenigs, L. Hyman & Compavy’s and William Giffin’s were noted
by the TRANSORIPT reporter. ‘
At W. H._Crawford’s residence a
large shade tree was up-rocted, and
another in frontof Thomas Hughes
place on upper Pine street went down
with @ crasb.
The wagon shed at W. H. Smith’s
home was ‘partially demolished, and
the top of the delivery wagon was
broken.

Down at the Bourne ranch in Pleasant Valley a large barn was considerably demolished, and fences there
were likewise injured. At the Schwatz
ranch another barn and quite a stretch
of fencing went down. Oonsiderable
damage was down to fruit trees in
that section.
At the old Houston ranch, on the
North Bloomfield road, thirteen fruit
trees were blown down and destroyed
and a baron and wood shed received
the same fate. A large namber of
large pire treesin that vicinity were
blown down and scme of them fell
across the road, .
At the old Nichols ranch, below
reside there had a miraculous escape
from death. A big tree was blown
across the roof of the house which cut
the dwelling completely in two and
demolished it, Mr. Marsball and his
daughter,who were sleeping, were buried in the debris and it took the
neighbors all of two hours to rescue
them frem their dangerous predicament. Another member of the family
who was standing in the doorway,
miraculously escaped uninjured, although the door was smashed into
splitters.
Bereavement and Business,
The following curious advertisement
is taken from a Spanish journal: “This
morning our Saviour summoned away
the jeweler, Siebald Illmaga, from his
shop to another and better world. The
undersigned, his widow, will weep upon his tomb, as will also his two daughters, Hild and Emma, the former of
whom is married, and the latter is open
to an offer. The funeral will take place
tomorrow. His disconsolate widow,
Veronique Illmaga. P. S.—This_ bereavement will not interrupt our employment, which will be carried on as
usual, only our place of business will
be removed from 3 Lessi-de Leinturiers
to 4 Rue de Missionaire, as our grasping; landlord has raised the rent.”—St.
James Gazette.
How the Peach Was Produced.
That the iuscious peach has been derived from the hard shelled almond can
no longer be successfully denied. It is
said that the peach in its original soil
was a virulent poison and that the Persian warriors brought to Persia some
of the seeds and planted them for the
purpose of poisoning the points of their
arrows so as to render wounds caused
by them to be fatal, but a change of
climate and soil produced -afruit
which is not only luscious, but is esteemed exceedingly healthful.
The Building of a Life.
Life is a building. It rises slowly day
by day through the years. Every new
lesson we learn lays a bloek on the edtfice which is rising silently with!n us.
Every influence that impresses us, every Look we read, every conversation
we have, every act of our commonest
days. adds soniething to the invisible
building.—J. R. Miller,
