River Water Level
Does About Face

Water level in the Portage Riv
er was the lowest in many years
early Saturday but only a few
hours later it was near flood stage.
Almost cyclonic south winds
Saturday forced the water out
into the lake with the result that
usually covered sand bars were
exposed and the Yacht Club basin
was almost dry.
Continued rains and wind
changes Saturday night quickly
brought the water 70 several inch
es above normal. Only lower
temperatures averted floods in
low areas along the river banks.

There are certainly a lot of

 sons are fishing there now. She last saw her brother August in 1886 and Joe last year. She surprised them last week when she arrived here. 'The only place I could find
 for sure was August Heit-
 mans home which is on the
 same site our family home was," Mrs. Young said. But there are so many new build ings on the main street and up
 the hill."
 Mrs. Young drove out Mis- sion Rd., and added that
 there was no such road when I was here.
