ing the continued rain raised the water in

men. The mills are not running on account
of the surplus of water. The Dobsons
kept teams busy all day Sunday hauling
wool from their store houses on the island
to some safer places. There has been great

and do much damage, but by booming the
logs and taking other precautions it is
hoped we may escape that danger, though
the water was still rising Monday. Our
churches had all planned to have Easter
services Sunday, but we fear that many were
disappointed in witnessing and enjoying the
beautiful programs which had been prepar-
