Missouri River Overflows Bot tom Land Today Raise of Some Seven Inches Bring Flood Water Over Large Part of Bottom Land.

The river at this point has risen some three feet 'and last night seven inches more was added to the raise sending the water over the lowest parts of the bottom land that has in recent years been used for farming purposes by the residents of this lo cality. The river at the points opposite the Burlington station here is level with the farm land and at several places the water has broke through and flooded a part of tne Bach farm and backwater fror the river I forming in -the deep ditch along the highway just south of the farm home on the Bach place. The residence of Grove Elledge situated farther east of the Back place is In the midst of the rushing flood water and the swift current of the river is flowing around this usually high and dry tract of land. South of the baseball park the river overflow and the backed up water qf the sewer creek is over flowing the land to the depth of sev eral feet and covering a very wide area of land. A raise of very few more Inches will send the river water over the entire bottom land and which is looked for as the stream seems to be reaching the crest of its flood which is poured down from the melting snows and heavy rains in th northwest.

The high water has made necessary the chang ing of the landing of the ferry on the Iowa side but which has been look ed after by John Richardson and his sons and assuring the constant ser vice of the" ferry boat.
