force of men were busy yesterday try. ing to keep the crossings in the busi- ness portion of the city clear of mud and water. Mud was everywhere and the pedestrians with difficulty found their way around.
 The street cars did a rushing busi- ness, and all kinds of conveyances were in big demand. The experience of yesterday demonstrates the neces- sity of better crossings throughout Fl Paso.
 Damage on Car Line
 Yesterday there was a washout on the electric car line near Woodlawn park. and force of men were put to work repairing the damage
 The new road to the smelter was washed out in several places, but this will not delay the starting of the line as everything can be put into shape again. In some parts of the city the street car tracks have been under wa ter, but the cars passed safely over them.
 Stuck in the Mud
 The heavy steam roller, which has been used in the improvements on Myrtle avenue, stuck in the mud near the county road. The hind wheels went down so deep that the machine could not be moved and after repeated efforts the roller was finally left unti the weather cleared.

but the provisions of most of them were of a character that did not com mand the support of the state leagues in these sates, and as a result they met defeat. The work of the state and other leagues of building associa- tions in the several states has again demonstrated the efficiency and great usefulness of these organizations, be- sides giving further evidence of their influence and strength. But few changes in the building associations laws of the states resulted during the past year."

BOUNTIFUL RAINS
 AT FL PAS0
FOR FIFTY-Slx HOURS TT FELL
 ALMOST CONSTANT
All Building Work Suspended-Exea- vations Filled With Water-The Damage is Light-Streets Buried in Mud

There has been heavy rains at Fl Paso. Tuesdays Times gives the fol lowing account of the unusual down pour:
 The most continuous rain that has visited Fl Paso and vicinity for sew eral years began last Saturday. It has been raining at short intervals for sixty-five hours, and apparently the end is not yet. However, MT. Lane, the United States weather bureau ob server, thinks that today will be gen. orally fair. He says there have been heavier rains, but none that extended over such a length of time. It was forecasted by the weather bureau at New Orleans. So far the downfall has not been excessive, and even heay- fer downpour in the higher localities would prove very beneficial.
 Building Work Suspended
 The work in progress on several large business blocks and many resi- dences in different parts of the city has been suspended, as neither the masons nor other mechanics could proceed with thir work under the conditions that prevailed yesterday Still half a day of sunshine will dry material sufficiently to resume opera tions. However, longer period will be required to remove the water from several excavations and basements now in course of construction.

Damage Done

It is the general opinion that the amount of damage done by the rain is very slight, indeed, when com pared with the great benefit that mas resulted from the heavy showers.
 In the lower sections of the city [ number of cellars have been flooded and considerable damage has resulted to stored goods. Before dark yester' day eyning in South Fl Paso mer' chants and residents were busy re moving their merchandise and house hold articles from such basements and cellars as were threatened by the water that is standing in the streeta and vacant lots.
