The river rose three-tenths a
Vicksburg from Up. M. Wednesda,
to z A. M. Thursday, or at the rat,
OF six-tenths in "a hours. Thil
means a great increase in the rise
of the water caused by the flood out
of the Yazoo. Every preparation
should be made for an overflow
At this point, just before going
to press, the situation along the
front of Madison and Tensas par
lshes is extremely critical. The
return flow of the crevasse waters
from the Mississippi Delta through
the Yazoo River has raised the
water along our front over two
feet and a half, and the water
rose at ST. Joseph four and one
half tenths from 7:3O A. M. on
Wednesday to same time on Thurs
day. This rise at such a high
stage of water in the river is abb
normal and was never before ex-
perienced and it means that we
are to have much higher stage of
water than the Yazoo River
poured out in 1882 or 1890. The
grave question now confronting the
Engineers and the men in charge
of the .levees, is: "How mnch high
er is the water going?" The levees
all along the line can stand from
two to three feet more water with
out running over the entertainments
where they have been raised. And
so far they have held splendidly.
The next 70 hours will tell the tale
Everything is being done that man
can do to avert the overflow and we
must possess our souls in pa
tience." In front of st. Joseph the |
levee is being raised by a large force |
Of scrapers and the dirt will be piled |
on high enough to stand several |
more feet of water.
