ing The day has been an ideal one,

better spirits.

stationary tonight. Everything is in
readiness for the receipt and distribu-
ton of provisions from the govern
ment. and as soon as the army officers
arrive the work Will be actively entered
into.
At Lula, Miss. a decided improve
ment is noted. There is still some SUI
fering in the back country, but it is
being alleviated by the planters, and
today a representative of the govern
ment will arrive and will assist the des-
titute at once The Yazoo and Missis-
sippi valley railroad has been busy all
day with pile drivers replacing wash
outs. The road will probably have its
trains running into Clarksdale on Tues

appear by May 1. and if this proves

Where the Fremont, Elkhorn & Mis-
souri, Valley branch of the system
crosses the river at Blair, the bridge is
on a big bend in the course of the
stream. The neck is narrow and low
Since the floods came this spring, the
river has shown decided tendency to
change its course at this point, and
make a cut off. If it does, the bridge
will be left over a lake, three miles
from the channel of the stream.
Today the angry current washed
away strip of land 40 feet wide at the
threatened point, carrying down some
of the Elkhorn tracks and some cars.
The Elkhorn people have force of
men at work making every effort to
save the bridge.

The Missouri has risen two feet in "a
hours and more water is expected

stationary, and that the Vermillion has
risen two feet. Yankton reports both

havoc with railroad entertainments in
the flooded district The waters have
washed away miles of grade that had
been spared hitherto. Many miles of
railroad will have to be reconstructed
entirely.
