sumption Of American cottons in AZ

been imported during the last four

Situation, in st. i.aul.

'SASesSsSAsAs1AA
st. Paul, March 26-The water in
the Mississippi river is steadily but
surely reaching the danger line-ten
sfeet-fOr the low lands along the river
front. Yesterday morning the govern
Inent gauge registered eight feet four
inches and last night the water had
reached the nine-foot mark. A week
ago the water in the river registered
only two feet seven inches. Since then
the increase has averaged foot a day.
With the warm weather promised by
the signal service Office the rise is ex-
pected to be much more rapid. It is
estimated that nearly 1000 persons
are living on the low lands along the
river hank, and q foot and half more
water IN the river will food the homes
of nearly all of them. The police have
warned number of the residents in
this district Of the impending danger
and cautioned them to move or pre-
pare for emergencies, but few have
needed the warning, seeming indif-
ferent to the menacing attitude of the
river. Many factories will also be Grip
pied.

waters In times Of excitement like the
present. The rumor was to the effect
that the lower White river levee, from
Mod0c down. had been ordered cut by
the Desha levee board, the levees be-
Ing cut In half q dozen places, the re-
leased waters devastating the fertile
country between Hughey's Landing

feet over this telephone from .Motoc.
and 1t was afterward repeated from
Oldtown Landing. Your correspond
ent Immediately called up James Har.
den, who is temporarily in charge OF
the Modoc telephone, and learned that
there was good foundation for the rvl-.
NOR. There were already three breaks
between Mod0c and the Hughey place,
the smaller of which was 300 feet wide,
and as there are now four breaks be-
low the Hughy place the inference is
that the Desha levee board has had
the White levee system riddled in or
der to save the levee around the rich
country contained in the famous La
coma Circle.
Another slight fall in the river at
Memphis is noted and q corresponding
rise in the spirits Of all interested in
the prevailing conditions. The river
at Cairo continues to rise, while at
Paducah it is reported stationary.
Dispatches from all points south Of
Memphis show that the river is rising
slowly. The continued fair weather is
q favorable condition. News received
from oil points along the Mississippi
side indicate that the system Of levees
is still intact. These dispatches have
been received by the illinois Central
road and are authentic. No more
breaks are reported on the Arkansas
side. All trains are running out of
Memphis on schedule time with two
exceptions.

ADVICE TO CHRISTMAS BUYERS

We invite the attention of the peo- pie of Phoenix to the advertiseme ents or the local merchants in The Repub- lican.
 It will be discovered that our stores are we'll supplied with everything that can possibly be needed for the Christ mas trade. Every inducement is of fered to attract purchasers, and much time and expense can be saved right here at home
 The Phoenix merchants have their capital invested in their stocks. they pay rent and taxes, and assist in SUD- porting the city government. Thus they are entitled to every considern- ;tion
 The one advantage of buying ait home is the proximity of the stores and the saving of time. If any of the merchants do not happen to have any particular article it can be secured within a short time.
 Our citizens should patronize the home stores so far as possible. That is the way to help business along all lines. Read the Arizcma Republican carefully and see where the best bargains can be obtained.
