This section was visited by one of
the heaviest rain falls experienced for
many a day last Thursday. 1t was
reported from the observation station
at Roslyn that 4.3 inches of water fell.
In the city it was the first time since
the sewerage system has been installed
that the sewer was unable to carry off
the water, as AZ consequence the base
ments in the lower part of town were
flooded from two feet to AZ inches, Tegt-
meier Co., Elevator Store Co., Fiksdal
Co., The Health Office and the Opera
House Easements were the places
deluged. The Webster World force
worked part of the afternoon in hip
boots getting out the paper. So far as
we can learn very little damage was
done by the water.
1t is estimated that we had more
than nine inches of rainfall in April,
the ground is thoroughly soaked.
Many of the old resident farmers say
the ground was never in better shape
or that we never had a better pros ect
for a bumper crop at this season of
of the year than there is at present.
