RIVER NEAR NORMAL;
POOLS IN LOWLANDS

The river has retreated within its
banks until it now stands at about ten
feet, as registered upon the guage on
the Market street bridge pier. There
are many pools left in the low places
which have been flooded for the past
week, and many fishermen who have
not the patience to wait upon the bank
with pole and line are planning to
don rubber boots and look through
the marshes for captive fish left there
when the water receded. After other
floods many fish have been found In
this manner and 1t is very often the
largest fish that are thus caught.
