IN FLOODED DISTRICT
IN A LETTER TO THE LEADER HE
TELLS OF TROUBLES IN EAST
GRAND FORKS, MINI.
People Compelled to Remove Goods
From Easements Where Innu-
datiOn is Imminent.

In letter to THE LEADER from G. A.
Borchardt, well and favorably remem-
bered in Watertown as a member of
the firm of Achtenhagen & Borchardt,
he tells of the struggles of the people
against high water in East Grand
Forks, Mimi, where he is manager of
a mercantile institution.
Mr.. Borchardt, among other things,
says 1--WE have cleared our basement,
expecting the water every minute to
enter. We are only one block east
on De Mere avenue from the Red
River of the North, and at the rate the
water is rising we fear great damage
will be done"
Mr.. Borchardt also sent clipping
from the Grand Forks Herald, which
gives an account of the serious gen.
eral condition in that region. The
Herald says:
With a jump of foot and one-half
during the night and nearly three feet
| in twenty-four hours, the menace from
| the Red River of the North was grow
| ing hourly today.
Hundreds have already been driv-
| en- from their homes in Fargo and
Moorehead and it is feared that some
such experience may be hal in the
lower portions of this city and East
Grand Forks.
| At 800 o'clock this afternoon the
river had reached the foot of the
| Schlaberg building, the last structure
at the east end of De Mers avenue on
the brink of the stream
| Property in the basement of that
| building and other buildings down
town was being removed today. Goods
of value in the basement of several
Third street buildings were taken out
| The greatest danger is faced by the
residents living in the low lands near
East Grand Forks park on the east
| side. In the flood of 1897 this district
was the first to be flooded
The river gauge yesterday morn
| ing registered "a feet Last evening
it registered 25 feet, and this morning
it was 26.5, and still increasing.
At Fargo the river is still moving
up a little, but nearly at a standstill
| 1t is believed the temporary check
| may be in a measure attributed to the
freezing weather of last night
Relief Work at Fargo.
Fargo, N. D., April 5.-Fargo and
| Moorhead today turned their atten-
| ton to relief of several hundred flood
sufferers, forced from their homes by
high water in the Red river.
With about a hundred houses rem
dered untenable by the high water
the dispossessed people are hard set
| for accommodations. In Moorhead
buildings vacant since the saloons
were closed have been used for many
people and every step possible has
| been taken to relieve the situation
The water rose another six inches
| last night and the flood crest will not
be reached until tomorrow.
