NOT MUCH OF A FLOOD.
Opinion of Levee Engineer as to the
High Water

MEMPHIS, Feb. 27.-J. T. G. Dabney,
chief engineer of the upper Mississippi
levee district, was in the city, and was
asked about the rise in the river, and its
probable result. He said:
1T is too early now to predict with
certainty the extent of what high water
may be expected. The water now in
sight will give US pretty stiff stage
throughout the valley, but not reaching
high water and not of long duration.
But this is one period in progressive
stage of high water development, with
strong possibilities of more precipitation
over the Ohio vaAey, with additional
floods which may be announced any
time. So l will say in general that the
chances are largely in favor of very
considerable rise.
Il am not informed explicitly as to the
status Of levee work elsewhere than in
my own levee district, but my general
information is that in the Greenville dis
trict the levees are in a very fair condi-
ton, and that, while in Louisiana and
Arkansas the levees are not so good as
in Mississippi, they have better fight
ing chance than they had last year. My
own levees are in very good shape, and
have no apprehensions from any water
that is liable to come, as at all points
where special weakness was developed
last wear, the levees have been made
abundantly strong during the past sea
