Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
EPHRAlM Aug. 23.-The heavy rains
OF the past week near SalIna resulted in
tho swelling OF the streams all out of
proportion and causing n large hood
which did great damage TO the crops in
that vicinity. The water In the Lost
Creek IS said TO have been higher than
over before by two or three feet. The
Salina creek was q raging torrent and
came down with n great deal OF debris.
Great damage was done to the water
system and there has been no water to
supply the town since. The water tore
into the place where the spring is which
supplies the town. and went into the tun-
mel which was completely filled up.
At the big irrigation cement dam more
damage was done. The Hood cut away
at the rip rap from behind the dam and
cut hole eight or ten feet deep, and the
current ate in under The cutoff wall and
cut a hole Into the floor and cut about
two rods OF the south side bank. 1t win

fill the large opening and the work is
being done as rapidly as possible In or
der TO have the work completed before
another storm as il would mean that the
entire dam would go.
