River Rises Another Foot;
Highest Since 1908 Floods
Property Endangered by Rapid Swelling Of Stream Dam
at Bonner Holding Though Rumors Of
Disaster Are Current

The water in the Missoula river rose
another foot during the last "a hours,
according to the gauge placed near the
Higgins avenue bridge. Last night
the guage registered height of II y

1918. though three feet short of the
high water mark at the time of the
1908 floods. While the water is en-
croaching at many places. little dam
age has been reported so far. though
considerable trouble Is expected If the
water keeps rising at the rate it has for
the last three days.
A raise of another foot will cause
trouble for many of the ranchers and
gardeners along the river-bank on both
sides of the city, as the water Is al
ready creeping over the banks at
points. The woodward of the Polleys
Lumber company will also be flooded
by a further rise of the river, the lower
part already being in danger.
Protecting Ditch.
Yesterday a crew of men worked
several hours placing sandbags at the
point where the inlet of the large irri-
eating ditch which distributes water
through the Orchard Homes is located
in order to save the inlet from being
submerged. The sign boards on ths
island are in danger. and the large on'

GERMANS ENJOY
PLENTY OF FISH

Copenhagen, May 27.--Germany Is
rejoicing in an over supply of fish
owing to unusually heavy catches In
the Baltic sea and heavy imports. The
population is being implored by the
newspapers to eat more fish, which
now is obtainable without cards and
below the legal maximum price.
The army, too. is over supplied and
the smoking establishments have more
fish on hand than they can preserve.
The potato situation is proceeding
from bad to worse. The German au-
thorities everywhere have been COM
PEELED to cut into their grain stores to
provide supplementary ration for the
missing potatoes.

entail transportation of food and othe
