RAIN STORM HEAV-

One OF the heaviest raiufalls that
has taken place In the Canon City
district for several months occurred
Monday afternoon: most Of the prec
ipitation being between four and
seven O'Clock The storm had its be-
ginning in the Cooper mountains and
1t ragged with greater violence north
east OF town than anywhere else. The
rain guage showed that there was
fall OF one and one-tenth inches Of
water in Canon City. and. IT is prob
able. that the precipitation in the
Garden park territory was fully
twice as great.
The water swept across Main
street In East Canon In a broad
stream. In places completely submerg
ing the roadway. making the passage
OF vehicles dangerous. as well as
tedious process. The sand and srav-
el was IN some localities washed on
the road and considerable damage
was done az q result. Old residents
say that there has not been as muci
water on the streets In East canor
In several years as there was Mon

es had been washed out BY the food.

ion. But this is narrow view. since
Kitchener's reputation is that OF an
administrator OF armies rather than
a fighter. although in the latter case
Ee has made abundantly good.
In the Soudan. rs in South Africa,
LORD Kitchener showed astonishing
powers of administration and execu-
tive ability combined with the very
unusual military quality of economy.
He wastes nothing. He organizes for
definite end ana insists that every
factor bear on that purpose and with
unerring accuracy. In the Soudan
campaign he fought not so much the
people as the desert He crossed des-
erts with railways and ordered things
to be done on time. He sent to Phil

/ was delivered on shipboard inside OF

This interest is height
ened by the announcement that re-

any way
The action Of the government in re-
leasing the swift lands may mean any
one of several things First it may
mean the government knows il can
get that land any time it wants it and
probably at a lower price than has
been asked. There are practical men
who say the Swift interests hav had
their notions of value entirely too
high.
that the government may be thinking
OF storing water in the mountains
rather than down in the low country.
Such move would have a lot OF good
sense behind il. Store water in the
mountains or foothills and it will do

needs Of the upper river and of the

pertains 10 the cost OF dam consruc-
