 "The river at Fort Smith has reached 27 feet, which is SC verdi feet above the flood stage" said District Director Alciatore, thls morning, and is now falling at that point. l expect the river here to go to g feet and come to a stand. It may go an inch or so higher, but will hardly exceed that. At this stage there will be practically little damage done. The river is a tricky proposition, though, and no one knows exactly what it is going to do. Take Wednesday and Thursdays record of the river at Dardanelle, for instance. The river at Dardanelle, between I p. i'll. Wednesday and a. III.

It rose as much in 5 hours as it had ill the IS hours previous, and the rise, all things considered, 7, should have been much greater at the start when the river was low and the banks not so wide.
 The current of the river during the present rise has been some what peculiar here, it is driving the drift wood to the western pier of the free bridge, where several acres of old trees are accumulated.

FALL BEGINS AT Fl. SMITH
River Will Go s Above Flood
 Stage at Little Rock.
No Rain Falls in West, However, and Worst is Expected Soon To
 Pass Over

A bulletin received this after noon from the weather bureau at Little Lock states that the Arkan- sas river began falling at Fort Smith this morning and will begin to fall at Dardanelle at I o'clock today and at Little Rock Saturday afternoon.
 The istage at Fort Smith this morning was % feet, a fall ol 4 foot; at Dardanelle 24.5 feet, a rise of feet; at Little Rock p s, a rise of 2.4 feet. The forecast is that the river will come to a stand at Dittle Rock Saturday morning at g. feet, or one-half foot above the flood stage.
 Considerable damage has already in the lowlands along the river front in this county, which are unprotected by ,evees, and several hundred acres of corn and cotton will probably have to be planted over. Up to this morning no dam age to the new levee now in pro- gress of construction had been re- ported and yesterday afternoon work on the levee was still in pro- gress. If the water covers part of the work, it is thought the fall will be so rapid as to cause little damage.
