MISSOURI OUT
River Now Covers Great Deal of Bottom
Land.


The continued rains in this section
and above have finally sent the Mis-
souri, out of its banks. Wednesday
a few of the lower places in the bot
toms were covered and the sunrise
Thursday showed a substantial
rise.
Riverside park is inundated as is
nearly all the corn field northwest of
the pump house. The water has
reached the floor of the residence of
Dr. James Gates, which was formerly
used as the pest house.
The loss to Glen Tyree and Tllton
Davis, Jr,, who have crops in Rao
County near the river will be con-
siderable. In many places where
there is apparently no overflow the
soil is so soft and wet that cultiva-
tion is impossible.
The Missouri at this place showed
a marked rise during Thursday night.
Thursday afternoon at the foot of
Tenth street the gauge reading was
21.5 feet. Yesterday morning the
reading was nearly p.
The highest water last year was
on June Is, when the gauge read
25.75. Owing to the advanced stage
of vegetation the food does not
appear so bad to the eye as it did
last year, when the crops were not
matured
The river is still rising here; but
indications are that fall will begin
soon.
