An odd result Of the raising of the
waters of Leech and other lakes, by
the government dams, is that when
the bordering meadow lands became
submerged they did not long remain at
the bottom, but rose to the new sur
lace ana many large tracts go floating
here and there, blown by the winds.
The Indians, foreseeing the drowning
OF their hay lands, fled and were al
lowed claims for consequential dam
ages They were also prompt in dis
covering that the lands could not be

cut. and haul away the crop when the
ice becomes of safe thickness. Some
OF these floating islands carry thirty or
forty large haystacks.
