During the rain of last Tuesday
afternoon and Wednesday morning
one and one-half inches of water
fell. So great was the fall that for
a time Wednesday forenoon the wat
er in the. Redwood river was two
inches over the masonry work now
going in at the Burneister dam,
which at that time was eight feet
above the ordinary level or water
mark. At six o'clock Wednesday
morning the 20 inch pipe was hay
ing all the water it could handle,
and from that time up to 10 o'clock
the raise to a point above the ma
sorry work occurred. At 10o'clock
the water commenced to recede,
and at noon it was on a level with
the masonry, going down gradually
after that. The flow from the 20
inch pipe at the north side of the
dan was powerful. The sudden
rise was proof that the rainfall west
of here was as heavy if not heavier
than at this point
