a newcomer who thought it
couldn't rain in this country it
was a revelation.
The worst drouth that has pre-
vailed in Eastern New Mexico

rain. The rain was general

was another downpour.

bureau there was 1903 inches of
rainfall during the six days
distributed as follows: Thursday
.83 inches. Friday 80 inches,
Saturday 300 inches, Sunday
