In our last issue of the Ava
lanche we were only able TO re-
port partial rams in this section
of the country. but Friday of last
week brought a splendid rain all
over the South Plains and was
followed the next day by a still
heavier rain. which covered the
entire Panhandle and South
Plains territory.
From the reports we have
gathered during the past few
days the rains have been general
all over the South Plains and
West Texas, and in fact we might
say the entire state has had more
or less rains. from the best au-
thOrity.
The season that this country
has received has put this entire
section IN fine condition. and
those who are in a position TO
know say 10 US that the matter
OF crops so far as rain is concern
cd is settled. and there IS the
finest outlook at this time for the
record breaking crop Of the
plains country. The season has
come Just at the time when crops
were on a stand still. IL had
reached the climax. and II was
hanging in the balance. with the
weather man as the deciding
quantity. The rains came, and
the crops take new start, which
with the age and size in their
favor they will push through 10
maturity within a remarkably
short time. and within a few
weeks the harvesting Of the
greatest crop IN the history of
the South Plains will begin.
Maize. Kafiir Corn. June Corn.
Cotton. Mlllet, and all kinds OF
vine products are now beyond
the stage Of doubt, and with no

/ Last week we announced tha
the cotract for the Sewer ant
Water Works systems at thil
place would be let on the l4tt
day of August. Our authority
was first class for this statement
but circustances often alter cas-.
es and in this instance this was
the case. The City Council af.
ter further deliberation decided
that they would not wait till
August, but would beat that by
having the contract let and
work promised to begin on the
first of August, which puts the
proposition away ahead of what
we had expected last week.
Mr.. Dalton. the civil engineer,
of Dallas, who was here some
thing over a year ago, when
the proposition of sewer and
water works was being agitated
for the purpose OF voting bonds,
was in the city last week, and
made the council a proposition.
that was to their minds a fair
one, and which they decided
they could not beat, and the con-
tract was finally let to Dalton
and Campbell, for putting in
both plants the water works and
sewer. The contracts have been
signed up by the proper author
ties on both sides of the ques-
ton, and Mr.. Dalton has gone
back to Dallas to have the nec-
essary machinery and material
shipped TO this point. and will
begin operation as soon as the
equipments and material arrives.
They believe that actual con-
work will begin by the
first of August, and the con-
tract calls for the completion of
the systems within seven
which would put both
systems in operation not later
than March of the coming
year. The water plant will be
installed first. IL remains yet
for the city to provide the well, |
and the exact location of same
has not been decided upon def
nitely. but will Iiyely be located
in the vicinity of the Light and /
Ice Plant. The tank and tower

Many Improvements

There is something doing ir
Lubbock. There always is. She
is ever on the firing line, and her
game is greater things. Lubbock
has always been among the list
Of progressive towns. and has
been in the foremost ranks of the
procession. The Avalanche has
been here eleven years and it has
seen many and various changes
in the general makeup of the
town. We have seen the town
grow from a mere crossing Of
roads to a city with more than
three thousand happy and con-
tented people, but never in the
history of the town have We seen
such a substantial growth as at
this time. Brick buildings going
up on corner lots. two and three
story high, means that there is
something permanent about it.
Ii means the heavy expenditure
of money, and il means that the
people who are spending this
money have the greatest conf
dence in the upbuilding of the
town, and are willing to back up
their contentious by placing build

less than $500, 600 worth of i'm

or two years from this date. but
