velocity of the wind was but twenty-two
miles yesterday morning. What it was
at the Hea"ds the bureau could not re
port, because at that point the wires are
also down. At Sacramento the wind's
velocity was 23 miles, at Red Bluff 40
miles, Carson 32 miles, at Winnemucca
and Walla Walla 44 miles, and at Helena,
Montana, 34 miles an hour. Rain fell
in a monotonous drizzle all day. For
the fourteen hours preceding 7 o'clock in
the morning, the local fall was 1.00 in
ches and for the 12 succeeding hours up
to 8 o'clock in the evening it was 1.00,
making the storm total in this city 2.12
inches, a remarkably heavy fall.

Quarters, show that the storm has been
general in north California and Oregon,
.and while the damage has been consid
erable, no trains have been detained.

was heavy, accompanied by high wind
in some localities. - In the Siskiyou
mountains the snow is deeper than ever
before at this season of the year, reach
ing a depth of 18 and 20 feet in many - of
the cuts along the Shasta route, between
Colestin and Steinman on this division.
The snow plows are keeping, the track
clear, with considerably difficulty.' For
12 hours before 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, the telegraph wires were down on
the Other side of Red Bluff, but at that
hour communication wag established
and the track north was reported as
clear. At Gold river it snowed furiously
for nine hours preceding 7 a. m. At

during the night, and at ' 7 a.' m., they
had two feet of snow on the ground,
