FARMING LANDS OF CALIFORNIA HEATPARCHED Coast Is Sweltering Under Hottest Temperature Since 1871. 811 United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.—Relief for parched agricultural lands and depleted reservoirs and lakes of the Pacific coast apeared remote today. Light showers in the northern Sacramento valley brought rejoicing to farmers in that region, but Joy changed to disappointment when winds carried the rain clouds into the northwest. As rain began to fall in Seattle and Tacoma, which have suffered serious power failures, cheering crowds appeared on the streets, but merriment was short-lived when the showers were of short duration. Efforts of the city of Tacoma to obtain the use of the generating plant of the United States airplane carrier Lexington continued as street cars ceased operation save during rush hours, and houses were illuminated by kerosene lamps. Serious industrial shutdowns faced the city, and labor leaders apepaled to Washington to hurry approval of the Lexington plans. California Thursday experienced its hottest day since 1871, the mercury reaching 74 degrees. The weather bureau announced that no rain was anticipated earlier than Monday, and that there only was a remote possibility for precipitation then. 3$ I. U.
