heavy rain commenced yesterday
afternoon and continued throughout
the night Great damage was done
to growing grain, and farmers who
had lucern ont will also suffer consid-
cradle loss. The people of Pleasant
View ward, between Provo and the
mouth of Provo canyon, were visited
by a small edition of the floods, which
have of late created destruction and
CONSERVATION in other parts of the
state About o'clock in the morn
ing a large volume of water rushed
down from Rock canyon, carrying i'm
mense boulders and other debris, which
covered the farms and gardens of the
farmers in the vicinity. The cellars
and houses of the people in line with
the course of the muddy stream were
filed wish water. Several families
moved to neighporing houses on high
err ground. and today were busy re-
moving the effects of the overflow
from their own dwellings. The flood
must have been caused by a cloudburst
in the canyon, which is nearly dry this
time of the year, as no ordinary RAIN
storm could have produced such
large stream. None of the people were
injured and no houses seriously dam
aged; but considerable Inconvenience
has resulted. and some loss has been
er.ailed by the deposit of debris on
farms and gardens. The water in
Provo river raised about two feet and
is muGiier than at any time during
high water liz the spring.

time ago Mr.. Kicks secured options ON
land for right of way, and the fact
that he is now paying for the land is
a stronger Indication than any circum-
stance so far developed in regard to
the proposed branch. That the railway
company win build at once. 1t is be-
lieved that the read will extend east to
Uintah county and that g feeder will
be run from the main line at Charles
ton to Park City. When the reserVa-
ton is thrown open and the vast eX-
tent of country settled, this road can
not fail TO become very profitable, as
the reservation country is considered
to be one Of the richest portions Of
tine state in minerals and timber, val
liable farm lands and immense cattle
and sheep ranges, all of which will be
fully developed and utilized in the near
future.
