The RIO GRANOE.
There is False Rumor in Circulation
About River.
RISING At ISLETA.

There is rumor in circulation this
afternoon that the dyke above the city,
at Alameda, had given away in several
places, and water was washing over
the lowlands, on the wrong side of the
dyke in good fashion. The rumor is
false, for valley farmer gave The
Citizen the information at 3: 80 o'clock
this afternoon that the dyke so far is
all right and that the water is being
kept pretty well in the channel of the
river; OF course, however, there are
many low places and these places are
inundated Our informant also says
that the Rio Grande can take at least
several feet more of water before any
great damage could be done; but, he
continued, it would be wise for the
farmers above the city to strengthen
the banks at the weak points and thus
prevent any food, which would un-
doubtedly occur, should a heavy rain
of several days duration occur in the
northern mountains and send down
a volume of water, with that of the
melting snow.
Pablo Abeita, an intelligent Pueblo
Indian of Isleta, was in the city this
afternoon and called at The Citizen
to pay up his subscription In talking
about the river, he stated that it was
gradually rising at lsleta and spread
ing over a big section of adjacent
country. He says some damage has
already been done at lsleta but the
greatest damage will undoubtedly be
reported from Peralta, where the river
makes a short bend, and that that
town is now pretty thoroughly inun-
dated. Mr.. Abeita says the inhabitants
of lsleta and other towns farther south
are working like Trojans to keep the
waters in the river channel.
Across the river, at Atrisco, the
men at work with gunnysacks of sand,
held the waters from any further en-
croachment on the main road through
the town, and, if no greater rise, the
conditions over there will change for
the better in a few days.

Their estimates that the coffee crop
