THE RAIN FALL.
Record for this storm

The rain of Thursday here
amounted to about 4.25 inches
and it is reported that it was
heavier to theWest and especial
ly in St. Martin Parish and the
rice region. From the latter
comes the report that at least
three hundred families have been
flooded out. The entire coun-
try west of the Bayou is under
water in some places as
deep as ten feet. In the Cat
ahoula district the water has
backed up and in consequence
the food from the rains has
filled up everything. 1t is said
that never in the history of the
country SO far as known has
there been so much water every
where in that section.
From the West comes the
report that there is so much
water that it would be possible
to row boat almost from
Crowley to Lake Charles, and
everywhere there are no drain
age canals the story is the same.
In this Parish the water has al
ready disappeared in those sec
tons where the drainage canals
are completed. In fact there is
comparatively little water any,
where today, twelve hours after
The rain stopped. This is
exhibit of the benefits
Of proper drainage.
