Break In Roberts Island Levec.
STOCKTON, June 2l.-A disastrous
break occurred in the levee on the lower
division OF Roberts Island this morn
ing. A slight crack was noticed
in the front Of the levee yesterday
morning. At daylight gang of men
were ut once put to work TO strengthen
the levee. They worked all day yester
day and all last night. but the pressure
OF the water was so great that five hun
dred feet OF levee were crowded in se,.
eral feet. leaving gaps ten feet wide at
either end, through which water con-
menced pouring. The break is at
Whisky Slough, half a mile from the
main river. Atsthis point the levee is
sixty feet wide at the base and three
feet above water-line. Every effort is
being made to stop the inundation with
the Reclamation Company's dredger
aud the force at hand. The agents of
the company are trying to get dredger
from San Francisco to help them .ir tiie
work. but i i doubtful whether the gap
can be closed before the greater part Of
the tract is Under water. The land
threatened with overflow consists of
10000 acres of fine farming land. 5000
acres of which is in grain, which, it is
estimated. would produce from forty to
hfly bushels per acre. The barley is
almost ready 10 cut and the wheat
would be in two weeks. The losers
will be renters, who are very much dis
couraged.
