A heavy rainstorm drenched Red ding for 24 hours and washed out fifty feet of track at Motion. A trestle near Coram depot on the Balaklala sidetrack was carried away. Over an inch fell in Redding and the canyon downpour was heavier. The rain, though unwelcome, aids farmers and stockmen by making crops and ranges more abundant.

Ivanpah Valley settlers celebrate first reservoir dedication
Settlers of the Ivanpah Valley held a May 13 picnic to mark completion of their first reservoir with 4 000 barrels of water for domestic use. The Ivanpah Valley Improvement Co plans more reservoirs for irrigation and 6 000 acres have been claimed despite settlement starting less than 18 months ago. A mutual land and water company formed in six months. The reservoir and five miles of pipe deliver water from springs in the New York Mountains near Brant Station and Ivanpah in San Bernardino County.
