slowly that it would be almost useless
to try TO start. The lake hogan falling
last Wednesday, but had not fallen over
four inches up to last evening. The
districts tributary to the st. Croix are
almost covered by water, and until the
Mississippi recedeS there is little hope
of the st. CToiX going down.
