WARM WEATHER THE CAUSE
OF Water Standing on Fields Around
Cavalier-ConditfOns Are Very
Much Improved.

That warm weather, and not the
Tongue river was responsible for
water standing on number of fields
in this vicinity the first OF the week.
is the information brought to Grand
Forks now. Parties coming in from
Cavalier this morning stated that in
the last twenty-four hours. the Tongue
river dropped about two feet. and was
continuing to fall.
The first reports of flood conditions
seem to have been exaggerated. The
Tongue river did not overflow, but
warm weather melted the snow so
rapidly that the water could not get
off the fields fast enough.
East of Cavalier. near Hamilton,
there was considerable more water.
The coulee running between Cavalier
and Hamilton did not seem to be able
to carry off the water, and an over
flow was the result.
