Killing fronts visited almost every sec
tion of California. In several towns the
mercury fell many degrees below the
fn-tzing: point. In the mountain regions
the temperature was of the arctic varl
ety. The cold spell made Its appearance
ilmo<=t without warning and the agricul
tural districts were unprepared for the
emergency. It i's feared that much harm
lias been 'done to fruit and produce. The
Krowth of vegetation will be much re
tarded and the people of the city will
observe the injury resulting thereby
when they see the advances in the prices
of dairy products.
The low temperature was caused, ac
cording to the statements of the weather
bureau officials, by a storm in the dry
lands of Arizona and New Mexico. The
cold air was driven over the Rockies and
settled on California. A fierce wind ac
rf ntua^ed the cold on the water and on
ihe hills.
In the towns on the other side of the
bay the weather was more uncomfortafcle
than in this city. The commuters were
:ill positive yesterday morning that the
glf-cial period had made its reappearance.
There will be no snow, for the prevail
ing conditions are such that a storm will
make the weather warmer.
