RIVER HAS, FALLEN EIGHT INCHES
and DANGER OF BAD FL0OD|sPAss|NG
Water Still Droppng-Ice Jam Formed Seven Miles Down
Stream and Water is Tearing Across the Prairie
English Coulee Torrent

The danger of a disastrous food
near Grand Forks ia passing. The
liquid peril is receding after total
rise of thirty feet All danger of an
overflow of the Red river, however. is
not dissipated, as marked rise in
the temperature might cause every
little patch Of snow in the valley to
break its letters and eat it's frenzied
path to the bosom of the overloaded
river.
There has been drop since yester-
day afternoon, when the water reached
its highest point, of rs on the gov
eminent guage, or about eight linear
inches. The drop was from 1895 to
34.2. The water Is still receding
though much slower than yesterday.
The drop last night was So while this
morning only 2 was clipped from the
measurement.
Experience OF ~.
Conditions, somewhat similar. ex-
listed in 1894 The water reached what
was thought to be its highest point
and started hurridly on its downward
path. After dropping nearly two feet
a warm spell took possession of the
valley and within day or two the
waters boiled and dubbed higher up
the scale than before.
According to Captain John F. Hayes,
one of the recognized authorities on
river matters, such a thing is en-
tirely within reason in '07 though he
does not look for it. II think the
water has spent ITSELF is the way he
puts it.
Ice Gorge on River.
Yesterday forenoon Mayor Duis re-
ceived a hurry-up message from farm
ers living seven miles down river,
stating that jam of ice ten to fifteen
feet high, had formed opposite the
Jackson farm, and asking that help be
sent. Street Commissioner Durick
was at once communicated with and
two men were Immediately dispatched
with a quantity Of dynamite. The men
left yesterday at $50 and are still
plugging away trying to break the
gorge which threatens the farms in
that vicinity.
In the meantime the river has d.
verged from its natural banks and is
tearing across the farms on the big
bend where the ice has collected.
Commissioner Durick stated at noon
that he figured they would succeed in
blasting out the jam some time this
The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-04-08

afternoon.
The gorge has had no very appreci-
able effect on the stage OF water in
this city. Things looked bad at one
time yesterday when, after receding,
the water suddenly started upward
again. This was just at the time the
gorge formed for down it went soon
after, presumably when the river hit
the prairie opposite the jam.
Situation at Down-Riyer Points.
A long distance message was re-
ceived today from Emerson, Man, in
quiring about flood conditions. The
residents of Emerson are rather an
xious, as upon what the Red does at
this point, depends the future actions
of the "Canucks" for as stated over
long distance Eve always get what
Grand Forks does"
Emerson can stand fifteen feet be-
fore the water reaches the street level.
Oslo will note the fall of the river
with thankfulness for the lower por-
tons of the town are already under
water.
Farmers Using Boats.
Farmers living near the city in the
vicinity Of the Lilac Hedge farm and
in fact all along the English coulee,
are using boats, a la Venetian style,
as means of communication with
outside points. The coulee, which is
generally the most docile creek imag-
Unable, is said to be a veritable tor
rent. carrying away fences. buildings
and bridges alike. All the bridges are
submerged.
The land near Thompson. N. d. is
also inundated with water, varying in
depth from six inches to four feet The
ditch facilities in that neighborhood
are said to be inadequate to cope with
the body of water lying upon the sur
face.
Stocks Are Safe.
In this city none of the Easements
have been flooded to any extent though
water showed up in several of the
large buildings on grade, level All
the wholesale houses and other BUSH
ness houses and other business firms
have caused to be removed. all mer-
chandise in the Easements, and in sew
eral places in the city the vinegar bar
rels and boxes line the sidewalks for
lack of better standing room.
The water in the river today is just
ten feet short of the record of 1897
and is lower than 1882 and 1893.

LOCAL BUSTERS HAVE NEW Diversion

The irrepressible bad boy has found
another scourge for his elders. Older
persons also, are following in the
wake of the kids" The kids think
It is harmless. So do the elders and

torment is nuts" for the mischief

Japanese snuff is the fun maker
and the place it is used most is in
a crowd. 1t is not harmless and that
is where the new diversion falls down.
People who haven't heard of Jap
anese SNUFF don't know what's the
matter. Some think they are catch
ing the grip, others try to discover
whence the draft is blowing upon
them, and keep on sneezing until the
effects of the snuff wear away. More
likely, the paroxysm of sneezing is
renewed by the small boy with an

court from decision in favor of the

The case is rather unusual one;

rig from Spoonheim Bros. giving as
security the crop. He turned around
then and decided the land to his son
who put in the grain the next year.
At harvest time Spoonheim's represen-
tatives seized the grain and pocketed
the proceeds of the sale.
In the litigation which followed the
younger johnson got judgment for
about $500.

other puff of snuff, for it takes but
one subtle move on the part of the
local Buster Browns" to set the
whole room sneezing their heads off.
Japanese snuff is like most any
snuff in it's effects but different in
appearance. 1t is a very fine, dry
powder that the slightest air current
quickly carries in all directions. Once
a. pinch of it is liberated in room,
it floats to the most remote corners
and If anything with a nose is about,
a volley of sneezes begins.
The favorite method of those using
the plague is to put pinch of the
snuff on the back of the hand, and
with a puff Of the breath, watt the
powder On its sneeze producing
course.
The police have received several
complaints and If the practice con-
tinues there are likely to be arrests.

Yesterday morning about nine O
clock Mr.. D. H. Sigmon drove down
to his store and tied his horse in the
rear Of his building. A little while
later two small boys came along, one
them, the little son Of Mrs. Caldwell;
they spied the rig and decided to take
a ride. They drove around for some
time and were on their way back down
Kansas when the horse took fright
and ran away. He headed for the
store and turned down the alley where
he had been hitched. The trap hit
an outbuilding and turned over on
the kids. They were both pretty bad
ly bruised up and had to BE- taken to
a doctor who patched them up. Mr..
Sigmon's trap was considerably dam
