RIVER is RISING AGAIN.
Things Look Black for the Farmers in
the Valley.

lie Sueur, July 26.-The Minnesota
river is rising rapidly once more, in
cited thereto by the very extensive
rains that have occurred lately. The
lowest of the bottom lands are again
partially overlooked and things look
very black for the unfortunate farm
ers along the valley.
Inquiries have been lately made tc
ascertain how extensive the county
,, drainage systems of the upper waters
of the river are and the result is very
Idisquieting, for il seems to show that
although much work of this kind has
been done, with the disastrous eff
fects already resulting, the work is
still going on with accelerated activ-
ity. The counties lying entirely with
in the watershed that now have the
largest number of county bitches are:
Lac qui Parle, with twenty six
bitches, averaging five miles each in
length; Brown county, thirteen, said
to be hundred miles in length, all
together; lie Sueur county, thirty-tw
of four miles in length; Nicollet coun-
ty, thirty-tw and Renville, thirty
six, averaging six miles in length and
draining at least 10000 acres of
land In Big Stone county there are
now seven petitions pending. One
ditch advertised for bids for construc-
ton in Redwood county<is to be about
eight miles long, seven feet wide at
the bottom, with nine miles of GOV
cred tile branches and is estimated to
cost $4,000.
