SIOUX VALLEY.

From our own Correspondent.
(To late for last week)

A great deal of damage was done through this section by the cyclone of May 26th and 27th. A number of barns were moved from their foundations, small buildings blown down and a majority of the windmills were totally wrecked, large trees were uprooted and blown down. We have lived in Jackson county a long while and that was the worst storm ever known even by old settlers.
Jurgen Schwager, assessor, is slowly making his yearly trip. Mr. Schwager says in the history of Sioux Valley he never traveled such roads as he does this spring.
Mrs. G. A. Wiese entertained the club Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Will Tordson entertained a party of friends Saturday afternoon.
Alfred Rohr, of Okoboji, is visiting his sister, Mrs. Klindt.
John Lueneburg is going to replace the geared mill for Henry Wendle. Jurgen Schwager's, John O'conner's and Martin Miller's mills were a total loss.
Fred Klindt nearly lost a valuable team of colts by breaking through the bridge last week.
Gust Horn visited at Hans Husen's last week.
The heavy rain Sunday evening took out 12 ft. of the new grade near J. A. Wiese's.
If the county commissioners had been here and seen the vast amount of good the horse ditch that Tordson, Klindt, Sandcamp and Wiese put through the bed of the Sioux they would take measures to have a dredge boat ditch put through. Instead of weeks as it used to the water runs off in that many days and if the ditch were deeper and wider it would save hundreds of acres from the overflow. This would pay the farmers of Rost town to look into. For miles farmers are using the Sioux to tile into and the quicker the water can be carried off the better.
Our mail carriers are not to blame we know and we would have our mail more regular if people along the route would each do a little road work. It is hard on both man and beast even when we all help.
Water was so high after the storm that fish were caught by taking your hands and picking them out of the water on the roadside.
Charles Wendle is building a new granary.
Henry Husen (?) is working for John O'Conners this season.
Our cellars are full of water so if it comes a hard storm we will have to drive nails and hang ourselves up to keep out of the water.
Mr. Stockfelt is going to erect a new house in the near future.
If John can get these items through the road by the Minnesota creamery corner and does not get shaken out of the buggy on the grade going to town we will try to have drier news next week.
