WATER is VERY HIGH

Huron, S. D., June 5o.-Water in the
Jim river at this point has been rapid
ly rising. At some points the water has.
passed above the banks and flooded the
low lands. Notice of the unusual rise,
has been sen to points down the river
and stockmen and farmers living on the
bottr s have moved to higher ground.
Some fields of grain and corn are I'M
der water, out most of the inundated
localities is hay land. The water is
now even feet higher than for four
years, and coming up at the rate OF
about four inches an hour; the flood,
with a single exception is the greatest
since the spring of 1897. I'm to this
time the damage is not great, but il
rain continues the aggregate loss will
be heavy. In the city the water is dis
appearing, but many streets are yet
flooded. The sewerage system is in
adequate to carry off the immense vol
un1e of water, and as a result ninia-
ture lakes abound in all parts of the
city n boats are needed to get peo-
pie out of the flooded districts. Mer-
chants and Others have suffered much
loss because of damage to goods stored
in cellars and easements.

The Florida phosphate beds were first
discovered by the government geolo-
gists about 1854. but nothing was
thought of or done about them until
1889 or 1890. The phosphate rock il
found in pockets, not veins, and these
pockets parallel the gulf coast about
thirty miles inland. The mining is all
open work. We do al export business
entirely. We ship principally to Ger
many, but also to the United Kingdom,
to Norway, Sweden and Denmark, Aus
tria and a little to Russia. We did ship
to France, but since deposits have been

fireplace in an open can and some of
the liquid was spilled upon his clothes.
Upon lighting & match he was instant
" enveloped in flames. His sister heard
his cries and rushed to his rescue.
Without an instant's hesitation she
rolled her little brother over and over
in the grass, extinguishing the flames
and saving his life.
