Refreshing Rain
Turns Dust into
Very Sticky Mud

Imperial Valley was visited last
night by one of it's infrequent rains
which began falling about 10
0 o'clock, at times attaining the vol
ume of downpour, and continuing
until past midnight. A number of
Ell Centre people who had attended
the show or were visiting friends,
had the unusual experience of walk
ing home in the rain, and though
Inconvenience by it, seemed to en-
joy the situation. The rain cleared
the dust which has been in air since
the winds of the early part of the
week AMI considerably improved
the appearance of trees and shrubs.
No damage has been reported as a
result of the rain, and it has been
of considerable benefit. Early this
morning, sidewalks and roads were
in a sloppy condition and treacher-
Gus to walk on, the dust having been
turned to mud, but before noon the
warm sun had remedied this and the
only effects of the rain have been
of q beneficial nature.
