had come from the creamery at Crooks,
situated near Sioux Falls. Deputy
Collector w. A. Simpson of his state

Huron, S. D.. June 30.-Water in the
Jim liver at this point has been rapid
ly rising. AT som points the water has
passed above the banks and flooded the
low lands. Notice of the unusual rise
has been sent to points down the river
and stockmen n farmers living on the
bolt s have moved to higher ground.
Some fields of grain and corn are UNI
der water, but most of the Inundated
localities is hay land. The water is
now seven feet higher than for four
years, and coming up at the rate OF
about four inches an hour; the ilood,
with Il single exception is the greatest
since the spring of 1897. Un to this
time the damage is not great, but if

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

city and boats are needed to get peo-
