Many Of the Rivers Of Minnesota and the Dakoas Overflow
Their Banks---Imminent Danger That the State
Will Suffer From Great Flood

Winter, the hOary old villain, dies
hard. He is Obdurate and belligerent.
Yesterday takes precedence. 1t was
little the toughest DAY that has occurred
at this season for many years. 1t was
in the first week of March that the
famous New York blizzard made things
Iifelv and chilly on the Atlantic coast,
but the Minnesota blizzard came Oh the
night of April 10, and kept up the
record all of the Goth.
Winter, sitting in the lap of spring,
does not present a grateful aspect. He
should HE himself hence and seek the
domain of the polar bear and become a
servant of BorealiS. The snow yeSter-
day was an obstruction to traffic and an
interminable nuisance to everybody.
The railways had to
Combat the Elements,
and they were not entirely successful.
For Illustration, the morning Great
Northern train was nine hours late.
The Milwaukee was not so bad, but the
Omaha had a great deal of trouble, and
averaged four hours behind time. The
snow was damp and heavy and impeded
the work of the wheels 1t is related
at the union depot, however, that all
tracds were clear last evening, and that
trains were once more running on time.
The short lines between the Twin
Cities had an interesting time. True,
they kept going, but they were all be-
hind schedule. The wheels of the giant
locomotives turned in the heavy, wet
snow, but they could scarcely haul the
burden of passenger cars behind them.
The electric street cars were not SO
fortunate, and the system was In a
dilema major portion of the day. Snow
is inimical to electrical operations.
There is too much induction, and the
interurban system particularly was
Seriously Handicapped.
The seven-minute schedule often eX-
tended to a half-hOur, and at times 1t
was a full hour before one could catch
a car. This was the case, only in a
lesser degree, with all street cars. The
Como line was suspended for time,
BurmountabIe difficulties to contend
with.
The storm continued all day in i'm
pertinent defiance of the weather
prophet, who had promised a clear day
-c0nfessing that it might be somewhat
colder, however. Last night railway
officials all reported their respective
lines open, and trains were nearly on
time as a rule. 1t is predicted, though,
that today will be a stormy one, and
that the snow fall may prove further
obstruction to traffic. Sidewalks were
piled high with the beautiful, and the
tidy and industrious householder was
Kept busy all day yesterday cleaning up.

met quick death. Another farmer near

Special to the Globe
PEMBINA, n. D., April 20.-The Red
river has risen fifteen feet. A strong
northwest wind is breaking up the ice
and carrying it to the Minnesota shore.
Pembina river is very high. and the ice
is gorging at its mouth. 1t is predicted
the water will be higher than In 1882.
Citizens are preparing large boats for
protection. Some are already preparing
to move to Penibina mountains. The
streets are flooded from eight to twelve
inches, caused by heavy fall Of snow
last night. The temperature is falling
rapidly.
GRAND FORKS, n. D., April 2O.-Red
river continues to rise slowly. The
stage of water last night was 34.2; this
morning 36.9; at noon 3S and tonight 40.
Owing to the enlarged water area the
steady rise tonight indicates an immense
increase OF the volume. The current is
tremendous. The stream is clear of ice
except about the Red Lake river
bridge, where an ice gorge has
formed Wedged in sOlidly for half a
mile. The water is within two feet of
the bridge, and when the ice moves it
will probably strike the piers, carry
them away and dislOdge the bridge,
which has been cabled to trees to pre-
vent it floating against the lower
bridges. Disiodging the ice by the use
OF dynamite has worked successfully.
The water is within two feet of
the top - of the pier of the
Demers avenue bridge and stands
several feet over the approaches to
the Minnesota avenue bridge. The
Northern Pacific bridge has been swung
all dav to allow the ice to move out.
The water is running a foot over the
top of the center stone pier of the North
ern Pacific bridge. The Standard Oil
company has lost the contents of several
large tanks, which is floating on the
surface toward Winnipeg. Agent Sims,
