The June Rise.

There is much speculation as to whether the
June rise of the Missouri River will exceed the
recent rise. Most OF those who express opinions,
seem to think that the rise will not be extraor-
diHary. Bu. they do lot appear to have any
better reason for it, than that such is their wish
at least, they do not advance any good reason.
There is a difference in the views of those who
profess to understand the situation of the snow
in the mountaineering asserting that much of
the late rise was from mountain sources, and
others eontending that it was not. Almost in
variably, the June rise is the highest. But once
or twice since the settlement Of Kansas, has the
April rise been the greatest. The June rise is
always from mountain SHOWS, for those SHOWS do
not melt extensively until the high Summer heat
The earlier rise is from ice :,orges from SHOWS on
this side of the mountains, and from rises along
the tributaries. As look at it, none of the
late rise came from the mountains, but from the
ice-gorges in the upper river, and from the tre-
mendous SHOWS that covered the ground every
where this side of the monntans-greate than
ever before known. Let US look at the reason of
the thing. II is but Il short time since these
SHOWS meltetl. 1t reluires the hot sun of june
to melt the snow in the mountains, even in the
-"sS9s ~aS'hs. ihs
cold, and there has been no weather warm
enough 10 touch the mountain SHOWS. We have
had no accounts of floods ON the extreme head
waters Of the Missouri. The food on this side of
the mountains, earlier in the season, was from
the breaking of ice-gorges. There has been no
unusual rise in the Platte, which heads in the
mountains. But the Elkhorn and the Loup Fork,
which rise east of the mountains, and in the re-
gion of the snow-storns Of last Winter, have
been very high. The Mississippi does not head
in the mountains, but in level country, where
the tremendous SHOWS prevailed; yet the Missis-
Sippi has been very high, and in some places has
caused much damage as the Missouri. All
rivers rising in Northern Nebraska, Dakota, Iowa,
and Minnesota, where the immense snowfall
prevailed, have been overilowed. Streams rising
in the mountains, have not been remarkably 50.
But there were also very heavy SHOWS in the
mountains. These are yet to melt, and the Mis-
souri, Valley will get the benefit of them, in the
juno rise.
