There is no particular change in and
around Elk Point OF the conditions we
reported last week. The overflow
waters west and north of the city have
largely run OF, doing little damage to
farm lands Sunday the Milwaukee
railroad sent the bridge gang and
load of timbers west and BY Tuesday
night. they had the road repaired so
thst on wednesday, passenger train
was able TO rum 10 Vsrmillion and re-
turn. The gorge in the Missouri
river, just above where the Vermillion
river er pties, still holds and is doing
immense damage 10 the rich bottom
lands above. The situation is much
relieved ny the rivers cutting a new
channel around both TIE Nebraska and
the South Dakota ends OF the gorge,
but the owe, flow covers nearly 100
square miles OF DAkotas best farms
and the water is deep enough TO cover
two or three miles OF the c., NJ. T. St.
r track west Of Vermillion. 50 that ali
approach TO vermillion BY rail from
the west has been cut of since Tues
day. It is now believed by many that
the gorge may not break, hut It's i'm
mense deposits OF ice will remain and
melt on The approach Of warm weather
where the.s are. In that case ii will
relieve all this country below, hut will
probably locate the s'Old Muddy ia 4
new channel for more or loss long
period Of years in The future.
