tect the point Just below the mouth OF
the Perry. and insure the safety Of their
mill and the log way leading thereto.
L. Burnett, superintendent Of the Sioux
City and Pacific railroad, yesterday
held an informal conference with the
members of the city council, sitter On
inspection of the work which is being
done, and he expressed an opinion,
basedupon considerable experience in
such mat a.rs, that it will prove effect
i've. He stated that he and his com.
pany would Immediately make 81 effort
70 secure the co.oporstion Of tho oehel
corporations interested IN the matter,
in order to haye, built this SEASON
permanent levee here, which would pre-.
vent damage in future ses;ons, and pro.
tect the property Of the companies and
Of the city. It is evident thst some.
thing substantia will have to Be done,
Of tie franchises which the rsilroadl
have secured here upon our river front
will slip from under them into the Mis-.
souri,. Not much more damage is an
ticipated now, and if this season can be
bridged over it will be . comparatively
easy matter to prepare for the next.
The st. Louis Times Of the 18th says:
There Is no abatement to report yet in
the foods Of the Missouri. At Glasgow
and points below, yesterday, the water
stood four feet on the bottom planta-
tions, and was still swelling. The en-,
tire crops of the lowlands are drowned
out, while the fences, corn. cribs, pig:
pens, and in brief ything that would
float have been, washed away by the
merciless food. At this time there is
no estimating the loss to property.
Much depends upon the rapidity with
which the water passes of. Sho1ld il
60 Immediately there is possibility o1
getting in and maturing another crop,
and by this means lessen, to some ex-
tent, the great misfortune. The bulk
of the water will arrive here to-day, but
it is the general opin ion. that the rise
will continue for forty, eight hours, be-
fore reaction takes Place. At5 p. m:
yesterday there was twenty-si feet OF
water by the Government gauge, which
is, six feet less than last year. It will
probably rise two or three, feet more .
From the present outlook. there Is no
danger of an overflow below St. Louis,
Is the Ohio and its tributaries are only
in moderate stage, and the vast body
ofwater flowing by this city, will find
ample accommodation below Cairo With.
