Qood Rains.
There were good rains fell
Sunday night over many parts
of the country. These rains
were not heavy at Kenna, prob
ably three quarters to an inch
during the afternoon and night,
getting lighter as you go north
and west, but much heavier in
the country south of the rail
road. In the neighborhood of
Big Valley, Valley View, Scotts
Ranch and Rock Valley it was
Tery heavy. Estimates vary
from 3 to 0 inches, some hail in
places. Lukes and water holes
in that territory full to over,
llowing. These rains a;e too
late in most places for the farm
crops, most of which in this
part are too far gone for redem
ption. However the moisture
is in good time for the ranges,
a3 fall and winter grass is now
assured in territories covered by
tl)9 heavier rains. Hut there
are many pastures in '20 miles
of this place which are yet
short of the necessary moisture
for good grass.

Kenna and vicinity Wednesday
night. Probably an inch or
more. These rains seem to
have been general over a large
