o. S. Jones Of the Lake View farm,
In town this morning reports great dam
age to the garden department of his
farm by the recent heavy rains
About twenty five acres of the farm
are under water and Mr. Jones does
not look for it to recede for a month or
more. On this land were planted
seven acres of onions besides his usual
crop of celery and early cabbage, The
will be entirely lost. the
value of which matured, would amount
TO about $4,000. This inundated land
lies near Lake Herman, about on level
with the lake bed With the heavy
rains of Saturday and Sunday nights
Lake Herman overhowed at the east
outlet, something that has not occurred
for a number of years. Gradually Mr..
Jones land became inundated, the
water seeping through from the creek
channel and bubbling to the surface of
the land from beneath. At no time
did the water flow from the creek on
the surface. but the inundation was en-
tirely caused by seepage. The loss to
Mr.. Jones is irreparable this year as it
Is too late to replant vegetables to re-
place those destroyed.
