Wealth from the Skies

At the time of going to press, Williams and vicinity is being visited with a heavy downpour of rain that is adding thousands if wealth to the county. The rain, from what reports are av- ailable, is general and there fore of much greater benefit to the farmers and stockmen than anything that has yet been re- ceived. A number of locali- ties have been visited with hea- wy thunder storms during the past week, but other localities were still suffering for want of moisture.
 The crop prospect up to the present, has been but fairly good, for western Coconino. With bountiful rain at the pres ent, the yield may yet be made heavy.
 A measurement taken by the local weather station at 4 pm. showed II inches of rainfall for today thus far. This alone is worth thousands of dollars, and the prospect is for a contin- ued s rainfall for number of hours to come. .--~
