town was in the midst of building boom.
Nothing of the kind, however. The large
number of houses in course of erection is
simply the natural growth, same as it
has been going on for the past two

SAN JUAN STORM NOTES.
The dam that protects the Model ditch
at Armenia canon broke Monday, com
pletely washing the ditch away at that
place; the company is already at work
putting in fume.
The Model ditch of the upper San Juan
sustained considerable damage from the
severe rains of last week, quite washout
was experienced at several points, but
with their usual vim the owners are push
ing the repairs.
The approach to the upper end of the
long hume on the Coolidge canal just out
of and above Fruitlard was washed out
Friday night and Saturday causing con-
siderable damage, it was due to the heavy
rains that visited this portion of the
county last week, the water was turned
out of the waste-gate above, and the dam
age will be repaired at once.
The rain Monday night in Pennington
was "hummer" and no mistake. Dirt
roofs acted like so many sieves. The
Triplett brick kiln suffered somewhat, no
less than 5000 brick being lost, besides
considerable work in repairs. A water
spout burst just across the river from
Pennington and for two hours the roar
of the torrent was terrible to listen to.
Amid rumbling of thunder, the vivid
flashes of lightning and tho pitchy dark
ness of night, the roar of the water kept
up. The streets were one sheet of water
and for short time it looked as though
the underpinning of Z. K. Hills "White
House" would be swept away, but for
tunately it was saved
