The precipitation was general, ac-

quarters of an inch to an inch
and half. The rain fell slowly,
and as a result there was little run
off, the report stated.
The storm, received joyfully in
every section, ended the power short
age of the summer. At Huntington
lake and other mountain stations,
more than an inch of rain fell, ac-'
cording to reports, and all orders for
curtailment of power ore expected to
be abolished as result.
The storm was by far the heaviest
of the season, placing the rainfall to
date far ahead of that of last year
in most sections. Crops are benefit
