merged with its approaches and all

the road all one night, but for the
washing of a little of the loose surface
soil, no damage was done. The wings
or the culverts protected the roadway
and prevented the water eating its way
in. This model road, and the grade
built just east of 1t, are practically the
only roads in Brookings counsy to

An Old Dutch of Great Value

After having been the highest az
that point since since 1881, the waters
of the Big Sioux river are ~receding.
The flooded area was confined TO a
region north and northwest of Sioux
Falls, hundreds of acres of rich corr
lands were flooded. The flooded area
would have been greatly extended had
it not been for an immense drainage
canal which the county commissioners
had constructed several years ago. In
addition untold damage would have
been done in Sioux + alls, as the Big
Sioux passes through the city.
The immense ditch carried off mill
ions of gallons of food water. The
water shot down the canal at lightning
Ike rapidity and emptied into the river
with a roar which could be heard ali
over the city. The canal demonstrated
that the problem of preventing a por-
ton of the business district from being
noo5ed in times of high water has
been solved
The drainage canal extends through
the region north OF the city and
eEnpties into the river below the city,
so but little effects OF the high water
were felt in Sioux Falls itself. The
