UNUSUAL STAGE OF WATER
IN MISSISSIPPI FOR JULY

The way the stage of water in the
Mississippi has been going up in the
last week is something astonishing,
considering this is the month of July.
Instead of having to draw on the gov
eminent reservoirs in the north for
supply of water to make navigation
possible, rains in the north are filling
the river to a very unusual July stage.
and are also putting more water in
the reservoirs for possible August
contingencies, SO that the prospects
for navigation this summer are about
as bright as they "re. The stage
of water here June :, w'rfss-ssifs big
flood was at it's height and when dam
age was being wrought at East St.
Louis and in Kansas City, was 1872
above low water. This was as meas
urcd in Davenport by Observer Sher-
Ter. \ week ago the stage was 4.2.
And now it is 81, or within three and
a half feet of the stage of June ;, the
highest stage of this springs flood
