Dam on the Yellow River Said
to Have Gone Out.


1t is reported here that the Yellow
river dam went out day or TWO ago,
and if this state of affairs proves to be
true it will not only cause great ex-
pense to the loggerS of this city, whose
logs pass through Yellow river, but it
will almost make it impossible to get
the logs in this fall now hung up below
the dam, even if heavy rains should
swell the volume of water in the st.
CrOiX. Nothing authentic is known
here of the breaking of the dam,
and the report as stated above, was
furnished your correspondent by Has.
McKusick, head man in William
Sauntry's office. The number of logs
hung up at that point will aggregate
nearly 100000 feet.
