-Local rains for the past ten days
have given a greater precipitation
than has come for tho past several
i months. The local weather observer,
jil. W. Brandi, records a fraction
! over seven inches of rainfall for the
I week ending last Sunday, and it has
rained considerably since each day,
in all probability raising the total
rainfall four or five inches in the
past three days. The local power
plant has been forced to shut down
twice In the past week on account of
high water. The power went off from
the Walhalla Light and Power Com
pany's plant yesterday shortly after
noon, when tho report was that tho
water then was two feet over the
floor of tho plant. Fortunately the
municipal plant was available, and
within a half hour citizens of tho
town were receiving service in good
shape. For some months past the
two plants have been co-operating
In the local service for Walhala and
West Union, the power company fur
nishing current during thc day and
the municipal plant at night. This
alternating service was made neces
sary by reason of the very low stage
of water incident to the drought of
the past several months, which was
broken about ten days ago.
