 RIVER AT RoOsEVELT-There is every indication now that the con tractor for the construction of the dam at Roosevelt is likely to have furthei and immediate trouble with the flood water, though everything was all right up to 4 o'clock last evening. The up- per coffer dam, which was badly dam aged during the last flood. had been repaired to the extent of driving the piling, though it still lacked the breastwork of the bouiders and debris that formerly protected 1t and that stopped the seepage through the pill ing Yesterday there was quite raise in the river. About 450 second feeI were flowing in the morning and by D. m. the water had risen 1.95 feet. Just what volume this makes in second feet there was no data to figure from. but a two-foot rise against an unpro- tected coffer dam is at least designed to provoke nervousness.
