In view of the amount of water in the
Red river at the present time, it becomes
quite an interesting speculation as to
how wet things would have been last
spring during the flood. if the same kind
of weather had occurred at that time as
has now raised the water SO high. The
present rise, while not high in compari-
son with ordinary spring floods is still
almost as unprecedented in its way, as
was the big flood of this spring.
& THE ladies of Grace church, Pembina,
through the "Outing Association of Min
neapolis," have obtained, from the Great
Northern road, passes to St. Vincent for
twelve poor children. Homes could
have easily been found for three times
that number, but transportation for so
many could not be obtained. The child.
rem will arrive on Monday, and will be
taken at once to their temporary homes,
with the kind farmers who have pronis-
edto entertain them for two weeks.
