experienced here during the early part
OF June.
Ten and one-half inches of rainfall
has been recorded at the water works
for the month Of July. This is far in
excess of previous records for many
years back and the steady downpours
have tended to keep the river IN a con-

The rapid rise Of the river is begin
ming to make itself felt in a serious
light now in the lower additions of the

is again becoming question of saving
any crops which may have been
planted along the banks of the stream.
In South Ottumwa, near the Dain
plant. along the Bakers grove region
and toward the west of the Milwaukee
yards the water is slowly rising. In
Central Addition and in the east part
of the city along the Morrell bottoms
trouble seems to be brewing with the
waters gradually creeping up and out

the homes in that section.

Many Country Bridge. Damaged.

Council Bluffs, July 30.-County En-
gineer NJ. L. Howard still is receiving
reports of culverts and bridges washed
out and roads made impossible by the
rains which have drenched the county
for the past month. The engineer and
the supervisors and road foremen are
being crowded to the limit of their ia
cilities to repair the damages.
Along the streams which cross the
east end Of the county the destruction
has been greatest and road gangs have
been at work steadily for weeks repair
ing breaks in the highway and put
ting bridges into condition for travel
Much Of this work is necessarily Of
temporary nature, but contracts for
new bridges in nearly a dozen places
have been let by the board Of super
visors and work on many of them al
ready has been started,
Not less than seven bridges in Cres-
cent, Lewis, Keg Creek, Silver Creek.
Center and Macedonia townships have
been contracted for completion by Oc-
tober /, or earlier. Most of these
structures are of fair size and are be-
ing put in of permanent or semi-per-
manent construction, with concrete
piers and abutments.
The damage of the seasons floods is
putting a serious drain on road and
bridge funds, and 1t Is probable that
before the end of the cCuntys fiscal
year some improvements planned for
this year will have to be postponed to
allow the funds to be used for the more
necessary work Of repairing damage.

Cedar on Rampage.

Muscatine, July 30.-Once more is
the Cedar river on q rampage. AS a
consequence of the frequent rains dur
ing the past several weeks, the GUS
tomarily placid stream has attained
proportions usually witnessed only in
the spring.
However, the recent heavy down
pours have swollen the river to un-
seasonable proportions with the re-
suit that in numerous places in various
sections Of the county the Cedar has
spread over it's banks. Reports re-
ceived here today indicate that addi-
tional rains and a consequent rise Of
a few inches will witness the stream
going out of it's banks near the Sails
bury bridge.
Much property is already inundated
by the Cedar river, altho the dam
age has been comparativ light. 1t
is reported that the principal damage
sustained by farmers by the overflow
has been to corn, which was planted
in the lowlands along the now turbu-
lent river. The consistently damp
weather, combined with an unwonted
loid spell, have worked havoc with
the corn crop in this country and the
Muscatine output is expected to be
considerably below normal this year.
