Weather Observer j. B. Miles last night
made a direful prediction for the lower
Mississippi valley. He declared that If the
reported break i'm the Mississippi levee
fifteen miles below Friar's Point was true
ii meant the destruction of the entire valley
from there TO the Gulf of Mexico. Colonel
Miles is authority on river and meteorolog-
ical conditions. and all his predictions
are based on official figures and years OF
valuable experience. Said he: 1T may be
a matter of interest 10 you and your read
ers TO have some figures to show what the
people below have to take and what they
may expect. The river at Cairo reached
80 feet on the gauge in lsS2. and this time
ii was 5l.6 So you see there was only three
inches difference in the height of the water.
In lSS2 the River Commission gives the dis
charge of water at Cairo lSl0.010 cubic
feet per second. and there Is but little less
than that this year. They gave the amount
passing here in the channel in 1852 as $780,

CREVASSE At MISSIONER.
An Old Levee Undermined and
Washed Ont by Wind and Water.

HELENA. Ark. March 31.-After two
weeks of desperate struggle between men
and the mighty waters of the Mississippi,
aided and abetted by the winds and rain
in the vicinity of Westover, the human
forces were overpowered and driven from
the levees this morning at about o'clock.
Two breaks occurred during the night. but
were repaired and it was not until daylight
that the break occurred which drove them
to places of safety. The crevasse is about
two and one-half miles below Westover
landing where there was a piece of old
levee built many years ago and proves now

Logs Of considerable size were washed up
and carried from under the levee. causing
a general caving, and as the water pushed
through il made a creVaSSe which has been
increasing i'm width all day, measuring now
some 300 or 400 feet. As break in the
levee there has been anticipated for several
days. much of the stock and people Were
taken to places of safety and loss of life to
man and beast is not expected. The dam
age to the many valuable plantations which
will be inundated is almost beyond esti-
mate. There is great portion of the lower
end of the country now under water frcm

cents for reducing five cubic meters. The
