Mr.. Geo. T. Nixon, Grand Rapids, Wis
consin. Dear Mr.. Nixon:-The river
at Knowlton reached a stage of 11.9 #.
yesterday evening shortly before the
gorge broke. This probably gives
you a little greater raise than you
would otherwise have. AS conditions
near Knowlton are favorable for the
frequent formation of small gorges
you are likely to have considerable
fluctuation in the stages at Grand
Rapids without any dangerous stages,
unless heavy rains occur.
