RAPID RISE TODAY
Mississippi River Approaching
Danger Point in This
Locality.
WATER DOING SOME DAMAGE
Tracks in Lower End of City Are Now
Submerged-Fiowing Freely into
Fuel company's Yard.

The rapid rise of the Mississippi
since the last rains has attracted con
siderable attention, and. in fact has
been the source of some fear of loss OF
property, which is warranted. The re-
port shows that at o'clock this morn
ing the stage was 1885. and at noon IL
was 1920. thus indicating a rise of
over inches in six hours The report
from the north indicates that the fall
will not commence until Thursday
night, being stationary most of that
day
Some Damage Done.
Although the highest stage has not
yet been reached there has been some
city and a considerable amount of in
convenience which was investigated
by The Argus today. The water is
finding its way up under the lumber
piles at the saw mill, and is consider
ably over the fence along the right OF
way of the Peoria railway opposite the
Republic Oil company's buildings.
The spurs and sidings that run to
the oil cloth works are under water
in all of the lower places, and wood is
drifting away from the yards of the
Rock Island Fuel company At noon
today the water was rapidly running
into all the low places i'll the yards OF
this company. Most of. this water is
backing up from Rock river into the
slough. and the depth now is about
twice what il is normally.
Watermelon Crop In Danger.
The river is rising rapidly at Musca-
tine. Thousands of acres across the
river are inundated, farmers there are
driving the stock TO the hills TO save
them from drowning. The first flood
victim was claimed yesterday after
noon. when a fouT-year-Old child of
William Holmes was drowned by fall
ing in the river from an undermined
bank The body was soon recovered.
The levee above the city broke yes
terday inundating hundreds of acres
of land planted with garden truck. The
loss is Variously estimated at SIS 900 10
