Since 1894 this section has not ex-
perienced as heavy a rainstorm as was
in evidence on Thursday afternoon.
There are some who claim that even
the storm of 1894 was not equal to it and
in order to find greater one the mind
had to go back to 1881. Soda creek
was on a rampage and got out of its
wide banks at several places. 1t cut
a new channel through the front yard
of the Rice property, took away sever
al bridges, flowed into the basement
of the Sanitarium building, washed
out the graded walk for number of
feet across from Garretson's, impaired
the new stone and cement bridge across
Miner street and did other damage.
The streets of the city in many places
flowed like a creek and many cellars
were filled partly with water and mud.
The water came down in sheets and
made it difficult thing to see fur
ther than one block.
