month. In Toxic some of them
make more, and in the smaller
towns they make as little as 50 a

They are not sent out on regular

given rowing commission. The
editor tells them to get news and
they never return empty-handed.
A good news = gatherer is rare

plentiful enough and really clever.

Belle of Bath sailed hence for

came so bad that all hands were

Curtis knew it would be useless

the crew left the ship she blew up.
They sailed $50 miles to land.

Aid from the Government.

WASHINGTON. March IL. = Captain
Fitch. the engineer officer of the army In
charge of the river and harbor work on
the Mississippi an Memphis, has informed
the War Department that applications have
been made TO him for the loan OF govern
ment boats and property to assist in the re-
lief and rescue of sufferers from the pres
ent great flood in that section, and he has
asked advice as to his powers in the matter
In response Colonel Mackenzie. acting chief
OF engineers. has informed Captain Fitch
that he might so use the government prop
erty under the authority conferred by a
circular issued Dec. from the office OF
the chief OF engineers. This circular gives
permission to engineer officers TO use or
loan government barges and other appli-
ances in cases of sudden emergency not
permitting request for previous authority
when life Is endangered, as is the case at
present. The use of the plant is also per-
mitted TO save property, provided no suit
able private boats are available, that no

REFUGEES At MEMPHIS
THOUSANDS OF FLOOD SUFFERERS
IN THE TENNESSEE CITY.
Eight Hundred Square Miles of Ar
kansas Now Covered by the Waters
of the Mississippi.

MEMPHIS. Tenn. March 17-Hundreds
of people, mostly negroes. were landed on
the Memphis levee this afternoon by the
steamers that are daily visiting the flooded
districts adjacent to Memphis. Vague re-
ports reached this city tonight of the
drowning of several people in Arkansas to-
day, but these cannot be verified. For the
first time in many days the river tonight
is stationary, marking 36.6, but the rise at
Cairo and the reported heavy rains in Mis-
souri, and other States will only serve to
increase the broad eXpanse of water in this
vicinity There has been a steady down.
pour of rain I'm Arkansas and West Ten
nessee all day.
The gauge at Memphis this morning in
dicated 36.6 feet. this being a rise of two
tenths of a foot in the twenty-four hours
ending at o'clock this morning. At Cairo
at the same time the gauge indicated 49.6
feet a rise of two-tenths of a foot in the
same period. AT Helena a rise of four
tenths of foot occurred in the last twen-
ty-four hours, the gauge showing 49, feet.
Heavy rains throughout the district pre-
vent any promise of speedy relief At
Greenvilie the height is 1872 feet and at
Nicksburg 4l.9 feet. At the latter place the
rise has been two-sixteenths OF u foot in
the last twenty-four hours. The water at
this point is now nine-tenths of foot
above the danger line. AT Shreveport and
points below the rise continues. The situa-
tion in the Hooded district remains prac-
tically unchanged. Steamboat men arriv-
ing from the South report all levees in fine
condition.
The United States Weather Bureau to-
day gave out the startling information that
SOO square miles or the state of Arkansas
is under water. In the district TO the west
OF Marion, Ark, hundreds Of people have
been picked up. The work of saving stock
has been abandoned and from now on all
efforts will be directed towards saving
human life. One negro reported that TWEEN
ty-five persons were drowned near his
place, but IL was proven that these had
sought the high lands at the first approach
OF the flood. Thousands of people are
homeless and dependent on the charity of
the citizens of Memphis. Reports from up
and down the river say the levees are all
in good shape and able TO withstand the
pressure.
