1t began to fall slowly, by 1 p. m., read ing 45.4
 At this place. it stood at 45.5 feet at 5:3C p. m.. and rising at rate of about half of tenth of a foot an hour. At this time 1t was falling at Milstead, Wetump- ka and all up-river points
 At Selma, 1t stood at 41.0 feet at 4 D. m yesterday, a rise of tive feet since : a. m.. and of or foot since noon. and it was thought that it would rise very slowly to about the 46 or 48 feet estimated several days ago.
 At a late hour last night, Section Director F. P. Chaffee said that the pre- sent river outlook was far from reassur- ing. as the rivers were then quito high and a rain area was moving eastward over the watershed of the upper Coosa Should this movement give heavy rains, the volume of water coming down the Coosa would very much augment the rise in the Alabama and cause more dangerous floods than were then in sight. However, he said, without addi- tional heavy rains. which were not by any means certain. that he ex- pected the river to begin falling here by this morning.
 Even though the stage of the river may slightly exceed the original estimates made by the Bureau, the warnings of this flood have been of untold benefit. So far no serious loss of livestock and no loss Of life has been reported. Had the flood come without warning, the loss of life might have been considerable and the property loss would have been great

ISLANDS DEVASTATED
TUA MoTU GROUP SWEPT BY
 CYCLONE.
In France It is Rumored That thu Disaster Approaches That of Martinique in Its
 Horror.

Paris, Feb. 10-The Governor of the French dependencies in the South Paci- fic has cabled to the Colonial Office that cyclone has devastated the Tua Motu group of islands forming a dependency of the French possession of Tahiti, So- ciety Islands. The Governor adds that he is proceeding to the relief of the suf- ferers.
 The dispatches received here from the United States contain practically all the information furnished to the French of ficials and public concerning the tidal wave disaster in the Society Islands, though these have been supplemented by brief official notifications to the Colonial Office. These advices, however, give no details of the loss of life.
 The Patrie refers to the disaster as ri- valling that of the island of Martinique, but owing to the absence of direct ad- vices the catastrophe in the Society Isl- ands has not yet excited widespread at- tention here.
 An official of the Colonial Office, discuss ing the matter today. said:
 Owing to the Temoteness of the island, reports from there are rarely received. and we have little direct knowledge con- cerning the native islanders, as the Gov Governor, who has extensive areas of isl- ands under his control. There is no cable communication with the islands and off, cial reports of the casualties are not ex- pected here for some time to come.'

DANGEROUS
 RISE IN RIVER Alabama is 45.6 Feet at
 Montgomery. IT MAY GO HIGHER Power Company AbandOnS Its Plant at TallaSSee. Dam is Standing Flood Well and No Property Loss is Expected.
 Weather Bureau Holds
 Out No Hope.

The Alabama River at Montgomery was officially reported at 45.6 feet at o'clock last night and rising slowly. This was a rise of two-thirds of a tenth in two and a half hours and the Montgomery Weather Bureau reported that the river situation was far from reassuring.
 Owing to the warnings sent out by the Weather Bureau little damage has been reported from the floods.
 The Montgomery Light and Water Power Company has been compelled to abandon the use of the power plant at Tallassee and power is being supplied the city by the stream plant in North Mont gomery. Secretary R. J. Chambers of the Power Company explained last night that abandonment of the Tallassee power was not due to damage of the plant at the falls by high water but it was merely abandoned temporarily as a precautiona- " measure.
 MT. Chambers said one of the wires be- tween Montgomery and Tallassee was grounded and owing to the high water linemen were not able to locate the trouble. A grounded wire causes great strain on the machinery and it was thought best to use the steam plant in Montgomery until the high water reeds.

 The rivers continue quite high from Wetumpka to below Selma. At Mont | gomery the Alabama River stood at 44.5 feet on the government gauge at a. m. yesterday, and the local office of the Weather Bureau then thought it would slightly exceed 4s feet at Selma. At Wetumpka, the highest reached was 45.9 feet at a. m. yesterday. after which

Immigration Bureau.

There is a probability of big immi- grafton bureau being established in Bir- mingham to work for the entire State and especially looking toward inducing German farmers to come to Alabama. The matter is yet in embryo but is working out and will shortly blossom into big thing. 1t is reported.
 The unfavorable report made on bill proposing to establish a bureau of immi- grafton by the State has not daunted a number of gentlemen of Birmingham and North Alabama, who have been working quietly looking to such a bureau, which will result in much good to the State.
 It is stated that several hundred Ger man families are now ready to come to America from the old country and with but the least encouragement could be brought to this State and placed on farms which they would work. This agency will make effort to induce these very German families to come.
 A well known gentleman in this city who has been interested some time in German immigration Is at the head of the movement, and 1t Is understood that the railroads in this section will tender such assistance as In their power, hop ing to locate many of these thrifty peo- ple.
