parallel each other, are washed together, and
again for long distances tracks are washed
away completely. The railroad bridges still
stand. All that has saved them so far is the

DELTA MAY BE DRY SOME TIME
If 1t Ever Is, the Planters VIII Try
to Raise Another Crop of
Cotton.

MEMPHIS. Tenn, April 6.-The fea-
ture of the flood condition in the Mis-
sissippi delta today is the gradual
spread of water over an area that here
tofore was never overlooked. So great
is the outpour from the upper crevasse
in Tunica county, 1000 feet wide, that
water from below the break is being
drawn up and hurled over the fertile
valleys through the crevaSse. The fall
in the main channel at Helena, Green
vile, Vicksburg and Arkansas City is
due to the filling UP of the delta and
the lower White river country. The
supreme question is the duration of the
flood. If the lower levees along LOuisi-
ana and Southeastern Arkansas break
and the river continues to fall at Cairo,
the upper ST. Francis basin and the
delta will be clear of water by May 5.
In this event there will be no difficulty
in growing cotton. The river at Mem
phis is stationary tonight.

sWerVing vigor in the preservation Of

gauge indicates the same as yesterday,
but higher stage is expected.
Vicksburg, Miss, April 6.-The river

the last "a hours, and now registers 49. 4
feet, the highest point touched this

afforded by the four or five crevasses
higher up the river is now felt to be
at an end, and the water is finding it's
way again into the main channel of

days when the mighty crest Of the flood
will hurl it's forces against the embank-
