Rain Brings
Raise in Platte
and the Pappio
Heavy Rains Braing Up Both Streams
to Flood Stage Pappio Sweeps
Over the Lowlands.
From Tuesday's Dally.
The rain storm that swept over
eastern Nebraska last night and
early this morning has brought up
the Platte river to one of the high
est stages this year and the Pappio,
flowing through Douglas and Sarpy
counties is on the rampage and
spreading over a large section of the
low lying land in its territory.
In this city the rainfall was .86 of
an inch but in the territory north
and west the rainfall was reported
as much heavier and which caused
the small streams and creeks to pour
their waters into the larger streams
and bring these to a flood stage.
North of this city and near the
scene of the heavy Pappio floods of
several years ago, the waters of the
creek are threatening the dykes that
were thrown up to protect the farm
ing lands and every indication that
the dykes would be swept out as the
creek rose. . i i"

the great farming areas of Nebraska.

beautiful song of George P. Root, of

inches in height. Threshing will be
gin as soon as tho harvest is com

the shock threshing after which will

Schultz threshing outfit, the - Avoca
Threshing Company, the Walter O.
Boz thresher and the Greenrod Bros.
With this number of rigs and the re
quired number of men to operate the
same, there should be no derth of em
ployment during the coming weeks.
All will rejoice at the prospects of
a fine yield, the exact average of
which can only be guessed at until
