ANOTHER HIGH WATER.
A Continual Down Pour Of Rain All Last Week
Again Floods the Valley.

The sun was not allowed to even
peep through the dense clouds which
covered the sky last week. The very
high water of July 23d, which caused
so much destruction, had suosided;
the river, on account of all of the
dams in this section having been
broken, had become unusually
low and there was rejoicing oyer the
fact that matters were no worse.
However the rejoicing was short
lived, for rain continued all the week
and on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
and Saturday it came down in tor
rents.
In former years, high water on the
Wisconsin river was termed a
''freshet." These freshets came regu-
ldrly three times a year and were
boons to our lumbermen, in bringing
Gowr their logs and ia floating their
lumber to the markets on the Missis-
sippi river. Sometimes they were at
high and dangerous stages. Now,
when "old Wisconse" gets on a ram
page it is called a "food," because,
perhaps, of its turbulency and de-
structiyeness. OF course they are no
worse than formerly, and were it not
for the many large dams and enor-
nous ponds on the river, there could
not be flood that could do much dam
age. This has been shown conclusive
ly by this second flood. The river
commenced to raise rapidly on Thurs
day and by Saturday it was
on a regular old time rampage, and
there was great fear on account of
the continued rain that there was 60
ing to be a REPETITION of the destruc-
ton of three weeks ago, but it old
not materialize. While the water
was at very high stage, all ponds at
the start were empty and the water
had free passage. 1t stopped all
work of repairing damages, resulting
from the previous flood and those in
terested had to do some tall hustling
to save what had been done. At one
time word came that the Tomahawk
dam had gone out also the Rhine
lander dam, but this proved to be a
false alarm. The flood gates Of those
dams were opened wide for safety and
that was all and it helped to keep up
the flood.
Late Sunday afternoon a telephone
message told of the giving way of the
Golfer dam at Merrill which let out a
head of about ten feet of water and
our people became panicky, thinking
our water works station would again
be flooded, and they got busy filling
up cans and every handy receptacle
with water in order to have a supply
on hand, but there was no per-
ceptible raise on this account.
Above us, considerable damage is re-
ported on the st. Paul road. A good
deal of the new filling was washed
out, mostly caused by the small
streams, being much swollen and very
turbulent. The bridge at the heights

greatly delayed. The Golfer dam CON
IeSructed on Prairie river by the
Grandfather Falls company, went
|out.
The rain in the lake region was
very great and above us during July,
nearly 16 inches of rain fell, II inches
falling on July 23d, which caused the
food and the breaking of dams Up
TO date in August the rain fall has
been s inches. Usually rainfall of
8 inches will give US very high water,
the reader can just imagine what a
deluge we really have had.
The water commenced to fall slight
ly on Saturday evening and only for
the break in the Golfer dam at Mer-
riil would, have continued to go
down. However, the river has fallen
since Sunday night over one foot and
Enow all danger is over. The rain
covered all of northern Wisconsin,
clear to lake Superior and therefore
the river will go down much more
slowly than it did from the flood of
July 23d.

ture:
You should always keep yer bosses on

You should always keep yer bosses on

The sure and steady pace.
It's that as wins the race
You should plways keep yer bosses on
the go.
Mr.. Coles was not disposed to admit
that the improvisatore had made his
claim good.
why not?'' said this person. Hasn't
1t more sense than some of the poetry
made by Swinburne or Yeats? Yeats
wrote:
She brings in the dishes and lays them in
q row
With her to an isle in the water would
go
snow" he continued. why did she
lay the dishes In a row instead OF one
on top OF another: Simply because
the poet must ind rhyme to go.
And where on earth should an isle be
