The waters of Second Lake are
licking on the walls Of t h c
kitchen of the clubhouse, twenty
feet away from the natural bank
of the lake.

waters having already en-

The Railroads.
It is probable that the Opelou-
san, Gulf & Northeastern Rail-
road, and also the Frisco road,
will ge out of commission within
the next few days. They are
now fighting the flood with hero
ism. but it is seemingly inprob-
able that when the onrush Of the
crest comes, it will be possible
for either of them to keep their
roads above the flood line. Major
Flanders, of the @. Fee, has re-
NAMED, practically, on the scene,
and his cheerful disposition helps
him in the belief that he will be
able to save his roadbed.
The Frisco's trestIe work, just
below the huge iron bridge cross
ing the Atchafalaya, is the cru
cial point of danger for that road.
The water Friday morning was
but two feet from the trestle.
A large force of men are there,
working with diligence piling up
dirt and sacks on the levees, and
tieing down the trestle work with
rope and wire, to Illustrate to a
certain extent the fury of the
water.

TWO BREAKS IN THE
ATCHAFALAYA LEVEE
President Richard of the Levee Board Believes that
the Break in the Atkin Levee Was Caused by
VandaIs.--Situaton Es Serious.

There is no concealing the fact
that the high water situation is
extremely serious.
Already, ten days before the
crest of the flood has arrived.
two breaks in the Atchafalaya
River, one on the Pointe Coupee
side two miles from Latannier,
which occurred last Saturday,
and the other on the St. Landry
side, six miles from Melville,
which occurred Wednesday morn
ing, have shown that the mad
waters are determined to dam
age.
The two breaks, luckily, only
served the purpose of flooding
the neighboring swamps. There
is, of course, danger of back
water affecting Melville and
tributary country, and it is re-
ported that Friday morning the
Courtableau was rising fast.
Ellie Hook, the fisherman, said
that his guage indicated a rise of
six inches in the Courtableau
during the night.
Mr.. e. G. Richard, President
of the Red River, Bayou Boeuf
& Atchafalaya Levee Board, is
emphatic in the statement that
the break at Atkins Bayou, oc-
curing Wednesday morning, was
the work of vandaLs. Mr.. Rich
ard was flushed with anger when
he returned to Melville from the
scene of the crevasse, and stated
to the Associated Press cores
pondent that the correspondent
had his full permission to quote
him as saying that the leVee had
been purposely cut. He would
assign no motive for the act.
Mr.. Richard is confident that
the State Ievees could conine
the waters of the Atchafalaya, If
miscreants, interested in a break
1T one point which would relieve
another, would not cut them.

Big Cane Section Alarmed.

The Big Cane, Palmetto, Nor
row, and Port Barre sections are
alarmed at the runored weak
ness of a portion of the. Atchafa-
laya levee, one and a half miles
from Melville.
IF the levee was to break at
this point, the entire country
mentioned would go under water.
The Flood Elsewhere.
The Memphis, Tennessee and
Arkansas. sections have been
heavy sufferers from the flood
now raging.
Many families have been rem
dered homeless, and relief work
has been inaugurated for the
distressed.

The Lakes Rising Fast.

First, Burton, Second and Half
Moon Lakes are rising fast as the
result of the break at Atkin
Bayou, near the Petit Prairie
Bayou, which is a connecting
link between these lakes and the
Atchafalaya.
It is believed that the club
house of the Opelousas Rod &
Gun Club, situated at Second
Lake, will be inundated, and as
a precautionary measure, Presi-
dent Sidney Hebrard, of the club,
has remained on guard at the
clubhouse ever since the break,
ready to save the property of the
members, and the stock, consist
