Grand Rapids, Mich, July 3.-The big
reservoir of the city water works system,
located on the hill in the northern part OF
the city burst at a. m. yesterday. More
than l0O,OOO,000 gallons of water was let
loose and rushed through the valley adj
jacent, flooding an area peopled by about
5000 persons.
Many dwellings were washed away, 9TH
ers were badly damaged, and all those
within district for three blocks square
were either wholly or partly filed with
sand. None of the buildings damaged was
OF costly character, as they were Tor
most part homes of working men, Not

ed damage.
The tracks of the Detroit, Grand Haven

north of the reservoir, were undermined
and trains on that road were obliged to
make detour via other roads.

from their sleep and urged them to escape
The reservoir gave way at the gate hous'

Report ON Climate and Crops.

The Uniteu States Department OF ag'
riculture, climate and crop bulletin OF
the weather bureau, Washington Sec
ton, for the last week says: THE
week was one Of excessive rainfall In
the section of the state west Of the Cas-
cades, particularly in the coast count
les. The rain was continuous until
the 20, having lasted week, and had
ruinous effect upon the strawberry
crop, stopping picking and causing the
berries to rot. Cherries, except late
ones, were also very badly damaged,
by bursting and rotting on the trees.
In the meadows great deal of clover
and grass were badly tangled and DAM
aged. In some localities considerable
hay had been cut, but not yet secured,
and such was very badly damaged, and
in some cases completely ruined. Oats,
which can endure great deal Of moist.
ure, were not reported as injured The
thorough wetting of the soil will prob
ably be beneficial to vegetables il
warm weather ensues.
1.-THE situation in the section east oil
tn Cascades, has not materially
changed, except that grain is little
nearer to maturity. The weather was
hot and dry as a rule, although there
were some light, scattering showers
during the week. The hot weather
did no material damage to grain, be
cause not accompanied by dry, blasting
winds, but on the contrary, was mois
and cloudy, and therefore beneficial tt
growing crops.
IA good rain in the Big Bend coun
try would greatly improve spring
wheat, making longer straw, ant
plumper heads. Fall wheat is nov
, ripening rapidly, some early patche
are being cut and harvesting will b.
in general progress by the first weel
In July. Thus far prospects are ia
vorable for fine yield of wheat, frui
and vegetables.
