CREST OF FLOOD
AT LOUISVILLE
Extent of Rise at Paducah Can
Not Be Estimated
Another Flood Stage Is Imminent AT
MISUNDERSTANDING Reap
pears From Waters.
CINCINNATI is SUBMERGED

In view of the fact that the crest
Of the food, which swept over Pitts
burg can only be at Louisville now,
and with the stage of the river to-
day, the limit of the rise here can
not be estimated When the flood
reaches Paducah the river may be
forced up as high as the January
stage. This morning the stage was
37.6, rise of So since Saturday
morning The river must go only
eight feet to reach the high water
mark In the January flood.
The rise from Saturday to Sunday
was greater than the rise from Sun
day to Monday; but that may be ac-
counted for in the greater surface to
cover as the river gets higher. In the
first half of the As hours. the river
rose I'll; in the last half, Ia. This
morning the first real inconvenience
from the high water was felt and as
the river goes higher will be greater.
Paducah industries and residence dis
triots are so situated that only an
extraordinary food could cause the
loss of property and Inconvenience
experienced in some OF the up-river
cities. Even in the January food,
none of the permanent residences
had to be abandoned, nor were any
OF the river front mills or factories
invaded by the water. The greatest
inconvenience resulted from side
tracks on low ground being covered
and from the high water making
raft navigation dangerous.
