RAIN MAKES STREETS RIVERS
Water Comes Down for Half an Hour
in Torrents.
SEWERS TAKE CARE OF IT
Some Paving just Begun or Finished
suffers and Considerable Filling
win Have 20 BE Done
over.

While rain poured in torrents. flooded the
streets and sidewalks for half an hour just
after o'clock Sunday afternoon. the storm
sewers and cutters were evidently capa-
bic Of handling the downpour, as no COM
plants or reports of great damage were
received at the police station nor by the
city engineer.
Unpaved streets we're washed badly and
many of them will have to be filled or
graded. Water poured down from the hills
between Cunning street and Capitol avenue
and Seventeenth street was under water
for thirty minutes after the rain. The
street car line on Sixteenth street was
under two inches Of water and people who
did not care to wade were cut off and
had to st ayin one block until the water
could run into the sewers. At Seventeenth
and Burt streets one man was seen stand
ing on high place in the pavement sur
rounded by water He had started to
cross Burt street and discovered a stretm
Of water several inches deep on the south
side of the street. When he turned to
go back to the north side of the street
the water had increased in volume, and
he stood on an island Of asphalt walt
ing for the sewers to digest the rivers
on either side of him.
Some demage was probably done to the
streets which Gre being paved in the north
part of the city. Clark street was ready
to pave with brick. 1t was a duck-pond
last night, the water being five to six
inches deep between Sherman avenue and
Eighteenth street.
Cellars of houses n course of construc-
ton were filled with water and some
others doubtless got a share of the over
flow. At Seventeenth and Douglas streets
the water flowing both from the hill west
-on Douglas and from the Seventeenth
street cutters, filled the sewer. and over
flowinging the sidewalk poured against the
show windows of Courtney's store. which
are almost a foot above the walk. No
damage was done, outside Of some water
being poured into stairway opening.
