The River Has Risen Two Thirds of
Foot in the Last Twenty
Four Hours and Still
Climbing.
THERE IS NO DANGER
a Spring Flood is Thought Improb
able and the Water VIII Not
Reach the 1903 Flood
Stage.

1t begins to look as If Observer Fred
a. Gosewisch of the U. S. signal SER
vice, would be right in his surmise.
That the river stage would reach four.
teen feet by Saturday.
Yesterday morning the river stage
read lis feet and in the past twenty
four hours the great stream has risen
over eight-tenths of foot and is still
coming up.
Since last Thursday the river has
risen 3R feet, not rapidly but steadily
coming up. Since last Saturday. the
river has come up 2S feet.
Last year during the month of April
tn, river did not get any higher than
6.' feet and was down as low as 80
during this same month last year.
The spring rise of last year did not
come until the latter part of May when
the water went up quite rapidly.
reaching the flood stage, fifteen feet
AM then receding almost as fast as
1t had risen.
1t is not thought that the river will
reach the flood stage this year unless
heavy rains set in to swell the
stream and send it over its banks. A
yea ago today the river stage read
5.4 feet
The river has been rising from St.
Paul to st. Louis, steadily, though late
reports from the U. S. weather SER
vice from St Paul say that the river
at that place is falling.
AT Quincy and Hannibal the flood
stage has been passed, the water be-
ing half foot above the high water
mark and families in the lowlands
around those two cities are beginning
to seek higher location.
The officers of the local packet
Keokuk re- orted the Des Moines riv
er out of its banks. At some of the
landing places for this boat the
water is creeping up fast PHO

There may be few readers of the

But there are thousands of people
