GENERAL SUMMARY.
The month as a whole mas reinarka1)ly pleasant.; the
most 110tit1)le c;linract,eristic,s being the ex(
ture aiid precipitation, t,he heavy snowstorm on t.he 5t,h
and Gth, tlie long period of excessive cloucliness l)etwet?n
the Iot,li and ISth, the hetivy rains over blie central aiicl
southern portions of the district bet,ween t,he 13th ziiitl
lSth, and the ahnoriiially high, stages of many of the
smaller rivers niirl creeks in the southern section. Tlie
average temperature was decidedly ahove tlie normal, antl
the irecipitation was ahove the atvernw except, in t,lie
district. The montli opened wibh a well-defiiietl clist,urli-
mice central over tlie middle Missouri Valley, wliidi
caused snow over t,he nort,liern section on the Ist, ancl w t s followed on the night of the 1st by clecitledly lower teni-
peratures. At Iloorhencl, U n a ., t.he temperature fell
50' during t,he 24 hours enclecl at 7 it. ni. of tlie 3 1 , nt
wliicli time tlie temperature was 26' helow zero. The cold weather wn.s of short, duration, however, as another
disturl>aiice appeared over Kansas on t.he morning of the
3cl that caused higher ternper:tt,ure in all part,s of the (lis-
trict and light snow over central Illinois. Fair weather wit,li solnewlint lower teniper:tt.ure prevttilecl on t,he dt,li,

the Missouri Valley, but the. rapid iiioveiiieiit, e:tstw:trcl of
a st,orm from the Rocky Nountnin regions rrsultetl in
heavy snow on t,he 5t)h and G t ,h o w r the larger p:irt. o f t,lie district,. This was the lieavirst, snowst,oriii of t.lie wint.er
in the c,entral ancl sou therii portions of t,lie. upper Missis-
sippi V:illey. The clept,li of clamp snow t,lint, fell cluring

snow over the northern sec.tions on t,lie '7th. Rain w.us
general in tlie southern and central, and snow in the nortli-
ern sections, on tlie 13th and 14t.h and from t,he lGtli t,o
the 1Stli. More rain fell in Iow-n cluriiig that period t h t n
is usual for the nioiit,li of Februsry. Another lieitvy
snowstorm occwrrecl in Missouri and sout.1ier.n Illinois on
the 30th. Fnir weut.lwr prevailed generitlly during t,lie last week of the montB except rain in Missouri, Iowa,
Illinois, and soutliern Wisconsin on the night, of t,he 2.5tli

Sout,li Dnkot,a, 1 G .f "; Wisconsin, 22.5': Iowa, 27.4';
Missouri, 35.4'; Intliana, 31.1'; ant1 Illiiiois, 33.30; and
the average tlelmrture ranged froiii + 0.5' in North
Dakota to +S.3" in Iowa. The escess of teniperitture
was not citusecl so inucli by unusiinlly liigli masimum
temperlttures as by liiglier ininiinum teiiiperntures than

entire month 'rliere were, however, some low tempera- t,nres recorded in the extareme iiort,liern sections, hiit even
there the niinimnm temperatures were not as low us usual in Fel)r~ii~ry, nor were there ns many days tts usual with
tempertttures of zero or lwlow. The only sections re-
porting except,ionally high teniper:itures were Missouri
and sout,lieni Illinois, wliwe tlie iiiontlily imsiinum was
from the 2d t.0 tlie Gt.11, t.he loth, and 19th to the 22~1, and
t,he warniest chys were froiii blie 14th to the 17th ancl

from 2 to over 10 inches in Iowa, and from a trace in es-
treme southern to 16 inches in northern Illinois. From
eastern Ioivct eastuarcl over northern Illinois to Inclianu. the storm was attended by high wind, which csased the
snow to drift btully. The next series of general storms
occurred between the 13th and lgtli, when heavy and in
many localities excessive rains fell over the central ancl
southern aiid light to inoderate snow over the northern
sections between the 13th and lSth, m c l heaq7 suow fell over Missouri and ceiitml itiitl southern Illinois on the
19th. The month was the wettest February on record
in Iowa, aiid tlie total nmouiit a t stntioris in northwestern Illinois and southwestern TTisconsin was niucli :hove the
normal. The ground W R S covered with snow during tlie
entire month in the northern section, from the 5th to the
11th in the central, niid from the 19th to about the 55th
in Missouri.
Tlie average precipitation for tdie district, RS shown by
the records of 308 sttttioiis, is ].!I1 inclies, which is 0.7Y

Referring to the warn1 spell during the midclle of the
month, A h . Willinm E. Earro~i, local forecasber, C'airo, I l l , reports:

RIVERS.
The rivers and lnkes remained frozen in the extreme
northern part of the district, the ice in the Kecl River a t
Moorhead, Minn., being 35 inches in tliichiess 21 t the close
of the month.
On February 5 heavy snow fell over the central por- tion of the up x r RIississippi Yrtlley. This was followed
and general rains between tlie 13th mil ISth. Tlie warm
weather caused the snow to aielt rapidly, and as the
gruuntl w:ts frozen a t that time the water drained into
the rivers quickly. This, together with the heavy rains
bet8weeii the 13th and IStli, caused an uiiiisuitlly high
stage in all creeks ant1 the snidler rivers.
Tlie Des Aloineh ant1 Raccoon Rivers began rising rap-
idly at Des RIoiiies on the afternoon of the 14th, a t
w-liich time the ice iiiovetl out of tlie Raccoon, niid below the ('enter Street 1)aiii in tlie Des Aloines River tibout
two weeks ertrlier thin the <iver:ige date. The Des
hloines rose 5 feet, between 4 aiid 5 p. ni. on the ldth,
wliicli wns followed by a grsclual rise until the IStli,
when the iiitxiiiiuni stage, 6.6 feet, was recorded. After the IStli i t fell slowly to it stage of 2.5 feet on the E d ,
ltiicl then rt.niainetl nearly st at ionary during the reiiiainder
of the iiioiith. The ice was still iiitact thove the Center
Street Dttiii :it the close of the month, :tlthough tliere
hac1 been a rise of 5 feet in tho stnge, with water running
over the d t i i r i for the first tirile since last September.
The niasiiiiuin stage, 6.6 feet, i- tlie highest on record
for so early in the year, aiicl the highest for aiiy Febru- ary except in 1906, when it wiw 7.S feet on the 27th.
There was no c1:tm:ige clone 1)y the ice or liigli water es-
ce t to delay tlie work 011 the new Walnut Street Bridge.
!h. J. H. Spencer, local forecaster at Duhuque, reports:
The Mississippi River rose from 2.2 feet a t 7 a. m. of the 13th to S.4
feet at 4 p. ni. of the lGth, when it beqan to fall slowly. At no time did the Wisconsin River or the hlississippi River above Dubuque ap-
proach flood conditions, but the water was very high in most of the bmall streams north of Dubuque to Prairie d u Chien, Wis., and in a
few instances train aervice was interrupted by washouts. The ice in tlie hlissirsippi River below the drawbridxe a t Dubuque nioved out
during the afternoon of tlie 17th. It moved uut above the drawbridge during the 26th. This is the earliest opening of the river a t Dubuque in 29 years. Prior to this year the earliebt opening in 29 years was on March 3, 1S92. At last reports the Missis-
sippi mas frozen at Prairie du ('hien, , and stations above, while the Wisconsin River was frozen a t all stationq.
Mr. J. Af. Sherier, locitl forecahter a t Davenport, Iowa, says :
At Galena, Ill., the Galena River was out of ita hanks on the 14th,
and is bitid to have been higher than at any tinit> bince 1S92. No great loss resulted at that place, lionre\ er, the daiiiage being limited to the
flooding of cellars in the lowlandrJ and to the washing away of a con- xiderable amount of cordwood. Tht. iise in the hlaquoketa River at
hI:tquokeh, Iowa, ib reported to ha\e brei1 the moat rapid ever known, and the mnsimum btage, reached shortly after niidnicht of the 13th- 14th, exceeded by about S mches thr previous high-water mark, es-
tablished in June, 1S92. Water poured over the doorRills of the engine ronm a t the waterworks, putting out the fires and leaving the city from the e\euing of the 14th until nearly nom uf tlie 15th dependent
upon the supply of water in :t btandpipe that had been filled before the punqiing machinery hac1 hero rendered useless. Some small brir1qt.s in the vicinity vf hlaquoketa were also taken away by the
flood. It is probable that the moat arrious clainaqe occurred in the
bottom land? alung the Wap~ipinicon River, which stream waq at a
flood st-qe from Februaiy 14 to lS, incluahe. Seventy-three head of rattle hrlonging to George ( 'onistvrk, a farmer in the river bottonis
near Wlie:~tland, Iowa, M err carried downstream and lost. The flood
18 reporteal to haxe come up a i t h such rapidity that it was impofibible to reitch the cattle in time to sale them. Familieu in the lowlands
nmr \ilieatl:ind were cunipellrd to lea\ e their homes in skiffs. The body ot Oscar Bi~wker. an aged man. was found on February
24 within 3 feet of a bridge near t )xford hiills, Iowa, from which he is Ruppospd to have been washed on the 16th instant. Numerous wagon bridges were tarried away b) the flr)otl in the \Vapsiipinicon, and somr
of the railway bridqes over that strrani were tempornrily rendered
unsafe. The railway bridge at Burhanan, over the Cedar River, was also washed out. On Pebruitry 30 the Rock Ri5er reached a stage of
10.4 feet at hlilan, Ill., or 0.1 fout below the Hood stage, and then begau to recede. n'hile the Miwiqsippi rose rapidly after the 13th instant, the conditions in this district were at no time serious. At Clinton the
stage on the 13th wad 2.4 feet, and on the lSth, 9 feet. At Davenport
on and after t ! ie 10th IJJ- very w~irin weather, with heavy
No damage resulted.

the stage on the evening of the 13th was 2.6 feet, and on the evening of the lSth, 9.6 feet. The range a t Xluscatine was froni 3.3 feet on the
13th to 11.S feet on the 19th. The ice on the reach of river betwen
Dubuque and Muscatine moved out quietly between the 15th and the
16th.
hlr. Clarence J . Root, sectioli director, Springfielcl, Ill.,
Serious floods occurred in the Pecatonica, Rock, and Pes Plaines Rivers and their tributaries. At Freeport the Pecatonicn reached the highest stqe in 50 years. Power plants and railway servii e were put
out of commission and damaxe resulted throuyhout the foolled districts.
Cattle were lost, and a number of persous narrowly escaped drowniiiq. The Illinois River mas above flood stage from the 1;tli to the 5 t h , but no damage resulted. This river was open clur~rig most of the month, and the Mississippi at St. Louis during the entire month.

DRAINAGE AND ENGINEERlNG NOTES.
The office work in connection with the survey of the
Des hloiiies River by the United States Army engineers,
under tlie supervision of A h . A. 0. Rowse, assistant en- gineer, is nearing conipletion. During February :h u t
X per cent of the contours were drawn and inked, making this part of the work TL> per cent complete. About 25
per cent of the inilesing of notebooks was clone, com-
pleting tliib work. A general clesjgn was made for locks
GO feet in width, 350 feet 1)etweexi hollow quoins, with sills for G and 9 feet depth of waterway, respectively.
The office force WAS trmsferrecl early in the inoritli from Des bluines, Iown, to Detroit, Micih.
One of tlie largest clrninnge propositions pet consicl-
eretl by the lwiirtl of >upervisors of Story C'ouiity, Iowa,
is that of a clrniii to he known as hIilforc1 Township c h i n
No. 3 2 , the estiniiitecl cost of which is $O-l.,OCIO. There
are n1)out 9,000 U C ~C H of lailtl in the district, wliicli makes
tlie average cost of drainage $10.44 per acre. The open
ditch will be 4 i d e s in length, and the tile, which vary
in size from 30 to S inches, will est,end 14 miles.
