Comparison of the gauge with a cor
responding period last year demon
strated the fact that April 10, 1887, high
water mark was so, and to-day it was
but 8 feet. Much of the volume Of
water now in the Mississippi comes from
the Minnesota river, which runs through
a hilly region and which has been fed
by mountain streams considerably dur
ing the thaw and rains of the past week.
"There may be higher water in the
next three or four days. the result of
Mondays downpour, but judging from
present conditions there is no danger OF
an overflow contiguous to the loWlandS
of West ST. Paul"
considerable rain has fallen south of
this city," remarked Lieut.. Woodruff,
of the signal service, ''but that would
not affect the river at this point, and the
indications are that the present spring
weather will continue, and it may per-
haps be trifie warmer"
examination Of the ice that is run
ming out now" continued Observer
Lyons, s:shows that it was pretty wei
broken up in the vicinity Of st. Anthony
falls, and the banks are clear on both
sides Of the river descending from Fort
Smelling, and unless gorge should be
formed below st. Paul at one Of the
bends, the ice will all disappear by the
end of the present week.
