kennebec Rising an Inch an Hour with
Moosehead Gates Open.

Tho nrospects late yesterday after
neon wore that we are in for another
fresbet and before the afternoon was
over nreparations Were being made at
tho wharyes to move. that everything
,,,oht not be damaged. 1t was feared.
rhnrsday. that the rain might reach
~, m river regions and thus melt the
.noU one thing was thought to be
oroinst this. That was that the storm
was not from the right direction to get
into the Sandy river regions, as the
southeast wind is the kind that drives
the storm into that locality and causes
so much damage by a quick rise of
water.
IT proved, however. that the storm
started the snow in sections for some
of the brooks became raging torrents
and were busy, all day, yesterday,
nouring their water into the river.
So that with the countless small
streams at work the water in the river
began to rise rapidly.
before the rain came the water was
running feet. II inches, over the dam.
AT : o'clock, yesterday afternoon, the
water was feet. inches. over the
dam. and was then rising an inch an
hour. So that with what was already
flowing it was anticipated that the wa
ter should be higher today, than 1t was
two weeks ago when everything at the
wharves was submerged.
The worst was expected at ! o'clock,
the hour for high tide. Agent Par
fridge. of the Kennebec Steamboat Co.
was at work, late in the afternoon
clearing out the steamboat office and
making everything on the wharf fast,
that nothing might be lost. At that
time the coal wharves We're submerged
and the water was within a short dis
lance of the capstans of the steamboat
wharf.
Concerning this, Agent Partridge sait
that such a rise had not been known
at this season. since the wharf wa:
raised, several years ago The Dells
Collins cannot possibly get at th'
wharf, today. as the water is rising 50
rapidly.
A telephone message from the up
river regions, stated that at Moosehea(
the storage system of the kennebec
the water was rising so that "a Of the 3
gates had been opened and that tn
water rose 3 feet below the Lockwood
dam at WaterVllle, between III III
morning and at night.
Reports state also that there is 1
inches of snow in the open and in som
sections in the extreme up-river coun-
try there are six feet of snow in tn
woods, so that if rain has reached tina
section there is but slight prospect o
dropping off in the water for som
time.
There is at the present time, 6.95 fee
of water stored in Moosehead
and as the storage capacit.
of that is but feet, every
thing will be opened wide tina
the water may not rise above the ca
pacity. With this open there is no
the advantage that there was during
the rise of n short time ago, for on
thing that saved the river from risini
higher was that the water was collect
ing all the time in the lake instead o
rushing into the river.
The back water has already com
menced at some of the manufacture
and there is a corresponding loss o
power What the pitch Of the waite
will be. today, Is something that j
awaited with a great deal of interest
