New Orleans, ian. 30--,At two low
points along the business water front
of New Orleans. Canal street and
Jackson avenue respectively, the riy-
er rose 10 the top Of the levee. Sey-
eral hundred sand bangs were used
to hold back the water No worry
has been created BY this rise, because
in past rises the same points have
been protected successfully with sand
bags against water oyertopping the
leFee by 3 feet. The water is scarce
ly an inch above the leyee, the stage
being slightly over 1S feet, with pre-
dictions for another rise of foot
within ten days. Outside the city
armed guards have begun to patrol
the levees. The Ponchartrain leyee
board, controlling leyees northward
