SACRAMENTO. Jan. . (Special.) No sooner had the Sacramento Valley passed through one storm, that which cleared up last night, than another one broke late today over the whole region from Sacramento to the Oregon line. Weather Forecaster Taylor predicts that the present rain will continue for another 36 hours and that the rivers of the Sacramento watershed will rise rapidly, probably reaching dangerous stages Monday. He advises all lowland residents who have not already moved their stock to high ground to do so at once. As during the last storm, the main danger lies in the snow, which lies loose over the Sierra Nevadas, the deep est since the great snowfall of 1911. Should the rain fall on the lower por tion of that snow a flood of disastrous proportions would follow. The Sacra mento River rose 2.4 feet last night. The Southern Pacific Is rushing every bit of snow-fighting equipment Into the Sierra Nevada Mountains, to keep the unprotected portions of its lines clear for the movement of trains. So far It haa succeeded in doing so. Portola, Truck ee and all mountain points report a heavy fall of snow. DIRECTORS FREED Jury Disagrees as to Other Five.
