LAKE TAHOE Is RISING
The Dam Is Likely to Go Out at any
 Time.

Truckee, Calif.. March 19.-A heavy rain storm is raging today and it is expected that the waters of Lake To- hoe will rise with alarming rapidity. Last night it was thought that the danger point was reached at least for a week. it being thought that it would take that long for the water to reach the top of the dam. Several expert dam builders began work this morning to strengthen the dam and prevent it undermining.
 If deemed necessary, steamers and lighters can be used to gather rocks from the lake shore to build a new dam below the old one. Snow on the ground prevents the procuring of ma terial by quarrying.
 Last night the electric lights in the town were eXtingushed after O clock on account of the high water in the Truckee river rendering the turbine wheels of the plant powerless. The flood gates were kept wide open near ly all day, but some were closed early in the evening on account of the cur rent washing away the entertainments and increasing the danger.
 Manager Bliss, at Tahoe. sent word last night that there was no present danger, but a heavy storm broke this morning. The people of Reno are mak- ing constant inquiry about the con- dition of the dam.
 A tidal wave would do immense dam age here. Five miles of the Southern Pacific track and bridges would be de- stroyed and fourteen miles of the Laka Tahoe, narrow gauge would be carried away.
 MT. Bliss states that the lake was higher once before the dam was con- structed than now and that the carry ing away of the dam would not heces- sarily cause the lake to cease to rise because the outlet is too small. Tht lake has circumference of more than q hundred miles and it has wata1 shed of more than four hundred square miles.
 The heavy rain and melting snow is expected to cause another Iise. The surface of the water is now seven in ches from the tcp of the dam.
