LAKE THIRTY MILES LONG.
Situation at Sterling, on the Northern
Pacific, is Unchanged.

jamestown, N. D., March 31-The
situation at Sterling, on the Northern
Pacific, is unchanged and will remain
so unless the railway company builds a
new track around this suddenly formed
lake. There Were no passengers trans
ferred across the lake today because Of
the danger attending the work. Pas
sengers report the lake thirty miles
long and about two miles wide with
depth of sixteen feet.
When the wind blows waves roll so
high that no boat at the command Of
the company can safely cross. 1t is
estimated that three miles of track and
a $50 foot bridge must be built before
trains can run again.

MUCH DAMAGE BY STORM.
Effect of tho Wind Seen on All Sides in
Pittsburg.

Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, March 31.-The damage
by yesterdays storm will probably
reach several hundred thousand dol
lars. The effect of the wind can be
seen on all sides today. Houses,
churches and large plants were un-
rooted, bridges partly dismantled, fences
and trees torn down, trolley, telegraph,
telephone and fire alarm wires pros
trated. A remarkable feature Of the
storm was the number of churches IN
jured in Pittsburg and Allegheny and
immediate vicinity. Eleven houses OF
worship were more or less wrecked, but
in only one of them so far as known,
the Presbyterian church, did any cas-
ualties result. At the latter place. thru
the chimney coming thru the roof,
probably thirty-fve persons were in
jured.
The casualties as far as reported will
not number more than sixty injured, OF
whom five or six are likely to die.

/. Is Improving, but Railway Traffic
Is Still Paralyzed.

Memphis, Tenn, March 31.-Advices
from the flooded district in Mississippi
are that the waters are slowly receding.
and it is believed that the worst is over.
The damage to railroads, farms and
other property will foot UP an enormous
sum- 1t is reported that many negroes
lost their lives, but the exact number
can not be given at present.
Meridian, in the eastern part of the
state. has had no railroad communica-
ton for several days. Railroad traffic
continues paralyzed in that section.
Large forces are at work on all wash
outs and traffic may be resumed north
Of Meridian today.
The damage south on the Northeast
ern, Mobile & Ohio and Alabama &
vicksburg is more disastrous than first
reported, and 1t is doubtful If traffic
will be resumed inside of ten days.

Plans Under Way in Chicago That
 May Revo1utionize the Business.
 Chicago, June 21.-Plans that were first taken into consideration about q year ago have been developed ill the last few months to the point where some of the great packing establish ments in Chicago have begun experi- ments on what may prove revolution of the cattle industry of the country, says the Inter-Ocean. The project involves the settlement of several hun dred thousand acres of what is at present nearly valueless land in north ern and northwestern Florida and southern Alabama. the cultivation on a large scale of the caSsava root and it's use in feeding cattle and hogs. If the plan develops the southern states will become the center of the cattle raising industry.
 It is stated that arrangements are now being made for the accommoda- tion of d considerable number of cat tie to be shipped from the stock yards here to northern Florida, to be fed on casSava root. The results of the fat tening process will be compared with similar work in the west, regarding which the conditions and cost are al- ready definitely known. The result obtained will determine the future of the cassaya experiment..
