Intermittent showers that continued throughout Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday netted 1.62 inches of welcomed mois ture. The rain, accompanied by cooling winds that moved in from Canada, brought relief from a torrid heat wave which held the midwest in its grip over the weekend. A new high for the season was recorded Saturday afternoon, when the thermometer registered 103 here. At the same time, Nor folk and Sioux City reported 106 readings; Omaha and Lin coln, 105. The mercury skidded from the season’s high of 103 to 46 three days later. Torrential rains visited some sections of the state, but in this vicinity the fall was ‘made-to order.’ Most of the moisture soaked into the ground because of the gentle, persistent nature of the rain. Observers predicted that had the heat wave continued into this week serious damage, par ticularly to small grain, would have resulted. A washout on the Northwest ern line between Fremont and Omaha necessitated rerouting trains on this line over the mainline Union Pacific tracks, and, as a result, the westbound morning passenger operated one- to four-hours late on Tues day and Wednesday.
