The Minnesota river raised elgh-
teen inches from eight o'clock Tues
daymornlng, to. the same hour Monday
morning, according to the city engl-
neer's measurements. 1t has continu-
ed to rise slowly and the end lis
not yet in sight, according to reports
from further up the river. 1t is not
thought that the highest point will
be reached for some days yet, land Mr..
Haynes states that he sees no reason
why the river will not equal or sur
pass the high water mark of 1881, as
other rivers over the Northwest are
breaking all records.
The water is now running in a tor
rent across Belgrade avenue, in North
Mankato, near the Swedish Lutheran
church. A further rise of less than
two feet will bring it to the highest
point OF this spring. and then five
feet more would send it above the
highest point ever seen by white men.
Whether it will break this record. this
spring cannot be foretold with accur-
acy. but there is vast amount OF
water to come down, and the snow
in the forest at the headwaters is
still eighteen inches deep.
The Minnesota river raised at Red
wood Falls six inches Saturday and
five inches Sunday, and is nearly as
high as in 1881. The valley there is
almost entirely under water, only
few islands sticking out.
The following dispatch is from
Ortonville: "Whetstone creek,
which had fallen considerably, is
again raging torrent, having risen
last night over three feet. No dam
age has been done here, and at no
time this spring has the Minnesota or
Milestone overlooked the valley at
this point to any extent, not even
enough to interfere with travel back
and forth between here and Big Stone
City, by team or afoot. Big Stone
lake has risen about five feet and ex-
tends out over the low, marshy land
at the foot of the lake for nearly
quarter of a mile. The snow is all
gone, except here and there the re-
mains Of large drift"
The sidewalks crossing the slough
have been weighted down again to
prevent them from being floated off
by the rising water.
The bank along the river below the
Omaha riprapping and on land belong
ing to the Milwaukee road has begun
to cave into the water.
The Omaha trains 60 into St. Peter
over the Chicago & Northwestern
track from Kasota, as the wagon road
to the Omaha depot at st. Peter is en-
tirely covered by the high water, cut
ting the depot off from the city.
The river has risen steadily during
the day.

Eggs! Eggs!!

The time is near at hand when the
market price of eggs in this section is
anything but satisfactory to producers,
and they are likely to read with inter-
est anything about an increase in
prices. Large eastern markets are in
creasing in their demand for eggs that
grade high in quality. They want
eggs from producers who can market
their eggs two or three times weekly.
Eggs marketed weekly do not bring
above the market price. Persons
living near Mankato and those living
near railroad stations within forty
miles of the city, who have the push
and are willing to bring or ship their
eggs to this city at least twice weekly,
in properly clean condition so as to
meet the requirements of the fancy
trade, can get further particulars in
this line by addressing with enclosed
stamp, L. G. FLETCHER,
