Cavalier, N. D., April 24.-Miles and
miles of farm land, lying east and west
OF this city, is flooded with water
from the big coulie east of town, and
from the Tongue river.
On Monday, conditions in the coun-
try were the worst. The water is
coming down from the mountains, COW
ering all farms in the section.
The Tongue river, which flows
through this city, has risen until at
present the city park is entirely flood
ed. The water continues to rise, and
a few feet more will put it into the
business and residence districts.
While it is hard to learn definitely
just how much country is under wa
ter, many thousands of acres are in
undated. The snow in the mountains
just began to melt with the warm
weather of the last few days, and this
is responsible for present conditions.
The big coulie east of here, is also
remarkably high.
