Special to The Optic.
ALBUQUERQUE. n, NJ, June L.
The condition VI the Rio Grande at
this point is not considered threaten
ing SO far as Albuquerque is concern
ed. Yesterday wild rumors we're
atloat TO the effect that the great dyke
above the city which turns the river
to the west side Of the valley had
broken and that flood was rushing
down the old channel which is through
the center Of the business district Of
Albuquerque. There was considerable
uneasiness for time but this morn
ing Mayor Myers issued statement
over his signature in which he tells
the people that after careful exam
ination by engineers he can assure
them that there Is not the slightest
danger Of break in the big retaining
wall.
People nearer the river are not SO
fortunate. Los Corrales is under wat
er and strong current is rushing
through the main street of the city.
Back water has flooded Alameda and
all the lowlands between that point
and old Albuquerque are under water.
Considerable damage has been done
here to alfalfa fields, orchards and
truck gardens. The worst damage
however has been done below this
city where the river has spread out
all over the broad valley and is wash
ing out fields and homes with alarm
ing rapidity. The Indians at Peralta
and every man and boy in Peralta
have been at work for twenty-four
hours almost without rest in a vain
attempt to keep the river from foeG-
ing those villages. Despite their ef.
forts the water is slowly creeping up,
and many homes near the main stream
have long since been abandoned. II
is feared that the damage at Peralta
will rival that done by the great flood
Of twenty years ago when II devo'ed
upon the people OF Albuquerque to sup.
port the inhabitants Of that village for
many days. Atrisco, across the river
| is completely abandoned the water
having been up In the houses for two
days. No further rise in the river
Is expected today. II 1t should come
