Heavy Storms.

The present week has seen the heav'
lest rainfall Of the year in this local
ity. Thursday was an especially wet
day and the rain fell in torrents dur
ing the forenoon while all during the
afternoon it rained moderately.
Rain storms seem to have been quite
general this week but were heaviest
in the Superior region. Up at ASH
land a cloud burst washed out railroad
grades and almost completely cut
that city off from the rest OF the world
for two days.
The ground was very dry about here
so the rainfall has, not damaged root
crops to any extent. The government
weather bureau reported last week
that this region was three inches be-
low the normal in rain fall 80 far this
year but the fall OF the present week
must have pretty well ..closed up that
gap.

IL is understood that several OF the
prominent citizens who fear the prop
erty will be lost TO public use are will
ing to step personally into the breach
and secure a loan TO pay for the land.
Mr.. Henry asked the council 10 act
upon the matter without delay one
way or the other either 10 accept OF
reject the petition.
The council took the matter under
advisement and decided to investigate
it more at length before passing on II
one way or the other. The whole talk
has so far been near-say. 1t is neces

figures talked of as the ones that the
property can be had for are correct
