BIc<RAlNsToRM VISITS THIS
SECTION WEDNESDAY NIGHT

One of the heaviest transforms II,
years visited this section at about 6
o'clock last night wednesday,, and
in general way, made everybody
glad. Such blessings, however, are
not without some disagreeable feat
ures, and this one was no exception.
The rain came down in such torrents
that the water ran six inches deep in
many places over the lawns and over
the sidewalks in the town, especially
in the west part of town, where the
water backed up from the irrigation
bitches, caused by the culverts across
the streets being too small at some
crossings and being filled up in 9TH
ers. The tile at the crossing of the
ditch under Wadsworth Avenue ut
Ralston Avenue, refused to carry the
great volume of water, being filled
up with dirt, and AS consequence,
the cellars of most of tho houses on
the west side of Wadsworth were
flooded as never before. The new
crossing at Adelaide and West First,
which has flooded time or two re-
Gently from failing to carry the water
turned into the ditch, of course, was
hopelessly inadequate to carry this
big freshet and created veritablc
lake in that part Of town, filling the
cellars and doing considerable dam
age.
Tbs gardens lying on hill-sides suf-
fered considerable damage from be-
ing over run with mud. The hay in
the fields, Of course, was badly dam
aged. But, for the small fruit, such
as raspberries, blackberries, and cher
RIGS, just coming on, there could not
have been q greater blessing. Over
on Wheatridge the storm did not have
30 much the feature of u cloudburst
as at Arvada, and the truck gardeners
and BERRY men are wearing broad
smiles. ..--4A- 4Aps',lr
The territory north and northwest
seems to have had just fine rain
that did lots Of good. The wheat
was beaten down some, but it is be-
Heved iewtil ~ up and fin out fine
All told it seems to hive been 4
Godsend to the country. N

'CHOOL SITE SELECTED;
A SPLENDID LOCATION

At last, the site for the new Ar
vada High School has been decided
upon. The decision was made at a
meeting held by tn. School Board and
Luther Secrest, the owner Of the
land, Monday evening, upon the rec
ommendation Of the Advisory Com
mittee.
The committee and the School
Board have spent considerable time in
negotiating for site that would be
desirable and which would not be too
high-priced. However, it was soon
discovered that it would be difficult
to find what they deemed necessary
for site for less than about $4,000.
Several properties could have been
bought for less, but they had their
drawbacks, by not being desirable
shape or not laying properly, or hav-
ing buildings or something in the way
Ut immediate building preparations.
After thoroly canvassing the stu
alton it was decided that four acres
Of ground was about the least that
should b chosen for q building site,
rsslising that mistakes have hitherto
been made by not laying the proper
foundation for the needs Of the ever
increasing population in then district.
It was the general opinion Of the
committee that near the new city
park was the most desirable location,
and it was found that four acres of
Luther Secrest's tract, lying directly
north Of the park, on the opposite
side Of Ralston Avenue, could be had
for $4,000. This completes = block
square, with streets on three sides,
on the south, west and north, there
being q street provided for along the
tramway, north, on the east side of
the Hoffner place, originally known
~ the Helm p|scs. Mr.. Secrest. ~
We understand e, agrees to give a
street forty feet wide on the north
and west sides Of the school grounds.
When these streets are opened up.
It would make 4 street about half
WY b1twssn Est Fire. md EAST
Second streets, leading from Ralston
q block north and then east to the
tramway tracks and back to Ralston,
Considering that this land is given
for street and that the School Board
will have the free water right. which
d the best in the country, and also
that the ground Is clean and ready
for immediate construction work, ad-
dsd to the fact that It lays perfectly
for irrigation purposes It is probably
= fair bargain As compared with any
thing else they had in mind.
The School will be slightly from Z
north view Of the town, and = good
advertisement from the Moffat road
and the auto traffic on north Wads-
worth Avenue. This in connection
with the park, which in time will be-
beautified, will give = sort Of civic
center effect. that will be very pleas
ing to the eye and will add much to

CURTAIL ORDER AFFECTS
SHIPYARDS OF ENGLAND
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, August 21.-All private
shipbuilding yards throughout the coun-
try, numbering about twenty. are affect
ed by the government order that all
work be stopped on warships except
those about to be launched. The admi-
rally yards at Chatham, Devonport and
Portsmouth will not stop, however, as
they are entirely occupied with the re-
fitting of 2,700 steamers which are about
to be returned to the owners from whom
they were requisitioned for war service.
Among the warships being built at pri-
vate yards are cruisers. deStrOyers and

plete them than to break them up.
Shipbuildcrs must be literally COM
pensated in cases where contracts are
broken, but although several million
pounds sterling may be involved it may
prove more economical than carrying
out the building program.
The Mail quotes an officer of the ad-
lniralty as saying that one sound reason
for stopping work on warships is that
the step will clear the yards for COM
mercial building. There is an excellent
demand for new tonnage and this work
will probably absorb the men liberated
by the stoppage of work on naval ves-
sels. According to the Glasgow Daily
