says. The river rose a of foot
the last "A hous. to an 11.S foot
stage this morning. 1t will con-
tinue to rise slowly reaching a
stage of IS feet the first of next
week.
The Dubuque warning sent out
by Thomas Blair of that station
predicted that the Mississippi
would flood, reaching Is feet at
Prairie du Chen and will exceed
that stage in Dubuque. This will
occur about the middle of next
week, and a like rise five days later
is likely. There is not enough
water in sight to indicate that the
river will rise to exceed the flood
stage OF Is feet. However, If more
rain occurs or more water from
the Wisconsin tributaries than at
present shown by the gauge. the
river may go slightly higher.
The forecast today is for cloudy
and unsettled weather tonight and
Friday, with probable showers to-
night These showers will be too
slight to affect the rise in river.
The temperature will not change
much. The stage at Dubuque to-
day was 14.7 feet.
