is built across the lower rim of the basin,
back of Freepert, a leyee Originally built as
a railroad embaukment), the top of which is
three feet lower than the top of the Y-street
levee. When the breaks occurred last winter
the water below the city continued to rise
until it began to run over the top of this
leyee. As soon as the water began to run
over this levee it began to wash 1t down, and
from that time the water below the city
commenced falling and fell total OF two feet
before it became stationary. although the
water in the river maintained It's night, and
TIE breaks kept widening and deepening.
Had other breaks taken place at the same
time. / do not think the water could have
attained hight OF over eighteen feet against
the Y.street levee, unless they had taken
place Immediately below the city,.
Q.-Have you ever made an estimate as 60
the cost of raising the Y-street levee to q
uniform hight Of twenty-five feet, and II SO
what would you give as an approximation Oh
the cost of the work, and how would 1t be
done?
A.-Approximately the cost would be
from $4,000 to $40 600; that is, to raise to a
uniform hight, level with twenty-tw two feet on
the river gauge, and maintaining the present
width on top. / think, however, that the
leves from Front to Ninth street might be
widened about four feet with advantage.
Q-What is the present condition of the
outer surface of the Y.street levee as TO re-
sisting any high water which might come
against it the coming rainy season?
A.-The outer surface of the levee is in
good condition for resisting the wash of waves
from high winds; better even, in my opinion,
than the R-street levee, as the Bermuds
grass planted there years ago has grown 81
as to form q compact mass of roots from
eight to twelve inches thick, and SO com
pletely woven together that it is with diff

do not believe that a stone wall could b

sailing from Havre have taken about
100000 francs in gold during the

CONDITION OF CROPS
Greatly Improved in Tennessee
by the Recent Rains.
Chattanooga Times, IS. |

Chattanooga Times, 26.l
A Times reporter had a few mo-
ments conversation with DR.. Hawkins
yesterday morning on the subject of
the present condition of crops in Ten.
nessee.
he says that the general condition
Of corn in West Tennessee is about
seventy five per cent as compared
with an average crop. In some coun-
ties an average crop will be produced:
it was greatly improved by last week S
rains.
In Middle Tennessee many fields of
very late planted corn are greatly i'm
proved by the recent rains. The Com
missioner draws his conclusions mere
ly from general observation, and thinks
that in Middle Tennessee the general
average will fall not much below ffty
per cent. Many fields which a short
time since looked dry and parched,
are now fresh, strong and vigorous.
In East Tennessee he thinks that
corn will reach almost an average, this
division of the State having been
favored with more rain than the other
sections of the State.
Wheat, for the acreage, has pro-
duced fair crop. Not much was
sown last fall on account of TIE un-
favorable weather. DR.. Hawkins is
of opinion that the acreage is not
more than 25 per cent. of the usual
! amount, but the product will, in his
opinion, be about 70 per cent. Of an
average.
He was asked if there is any truth
in the report that in many sections oil
the State the farmers will undergo
actual suffering on account of the
failure Of crops He strongly denies
this report, and is of opinion tha
West Tennessee will produce surplus
OF breadstuffs. Middle Tennessee he
thinks may be slightly deficient, but
East Tennessee will have a large sur
plus The commissioner states that q
great deal depends on the prudence
with which the farmers act.
Warned is forearmed, and nov
that the shortness of crops is known
to them, it behoOves them to be care
ful and husband everything and do al
in their power to save. In some local.
ties farmers are already shipping hog
to be fattened elsewhere. think thi
is advisable, as they will thereby saw
their supplies"
Farmers anticipated wet autumn
if these anticipations are realized tn
prospects will be much more favorable
for pastures will be improved yer
materially thereby"
THE commissioner stated that b
noticed that they who have cultivate
continually during the drought hav
crops in much better condition thai
/, their less industrious Heigh1o Con
tinual plowing, he says, renders th
earth soft and mellow and greatly in
creases its adaptility to absorb moist
ure. There is more or less moistur,
in the atmosphere and a continua
evaporation of moisture from the low
er surface is in progress-the lOost
earth retains much Of this, and tn,
effect of long drought is thus almos
successfully encountered.
