THE RIVER.
IvIcksburg Herald, asrd


Reports Of the overflow from the Ben
lab break indicate that the country be-
tween Deer Creek and the river will not
be seriously affected. As calculated the
water Is mainly pouring down Bogue Fa-
laya, flooding deeply the lands between
Deer Creek and Sunfiower. When il
reaches the lower part of the Yazoo basin.
It viii quickly convert the fail which is
now quite manifest there, into the rise
which will be registered on the Vicks-
burg gauge. What will be the extent of
that rise The Herald is unable to con-
lecture. Predicated, we Judge upon rule
and past record, President Townsend of
the River Commission, it has been pub
hshed, has warned against the rise, when
the crevasse water returns, of two feet
above the yet highest stage; or about 54
feet at Vicksburg.
1t is needless to say that any such rise
as above suggested, when the east bank
crevasse water returns to the main chan
mel at Vicksburg, viii impose a very
heavy tax on the Louisiana leyee line be-
low. Nor is it to be denied that with
the 1897 water as basis of comparison.
oS or "a feet height may be figured out
at Vicksburg; when the return crevasse
water is most felt. For example, the Hell.
ena gauge denotes two-foot higher riv.
er than in 1897, which would under the
conditions be 81 feet at the maximum
here. But such a calculation leaves ou
OF consideration decided difference be
tween the present river situation at Vicks
burg and that of the corresponding juno
ture in 1897. As the question is of de
cided importance with many of The Her
aid readers, a comparison of the TIVE
years viii be traced; the merits an,
meaning of which each one can jude
and approximately apply as well as Th
Herald.
March 2Sth, 1897, the river stages a
the various points for consideration wer

On Aprli 4th there were two additional
crevasses ON the Mississippi, nearly OPP
posite the mouth of the st. Francis river.
These crevasses did not cause the water
to fall at Vicksburg. The river only came
to stand at about the quoted height,
where it remained until affected by the
return Of the crevasse water. Then the
rise was rapid until April 10th, when it
stood as follows:

That Is the return of crevasse water at
Vicksburg cause rise of three feet above
the highest previous mark, in 1897. A
point of difference viii be perceived in
the fact that when the crevasse water in
1897 reached the bottom of the basin,
the river at Vicksburg was still holding
at its greatest height; while this year it
has, at Vicksburg, fallen three feet; which
is foot below the 1897 mark when the
crevasse water appeared. A foot more
fall can be counted on, probably, before
the crevasse rise sets in. To sum up:
The creyasse water will pass out at Yicks-
burg ON falling river, two feet lower
than it found in 1897. Nor is this all.
In 1897 all of the crevasses above Vicks-
burg were on the Mississippi side-all of
the escaped waters returned through the
Yazoo to swell the Vicksburg height.
This year the channel at Vicksburg is ne
heved Of the vast quantity Of unreturn-
ing water going into the Tensas basin.
The conclusion we draw from the review
OF the case is that Helena and the yicks-
burg 1912 river records viii not bear the
relation they did in 1897. AT Helena the
whole 1912 volume is in the channel, as
At was in 1897; the former being the high
est by two feet. At Yicksburg the whole
volume was in the channel in 1897, but
not in 1912; at least as much water being
lost through the Tensas basin as will re-
turn through the Yazoo. Hence The
Herald does not look for the river to 60
higher than it was before the crevasse
occurred.

Appreciation OF Farmers Union Ben
efts Prompts Valuable Suggest
ions from a Member.

Dear Lexington Advertiser:
Your kindness of former days pompts
me to ask space to say few words Il
the brotherhood of the F. 4. and C.. u.
of A. and of Holmes county especially
who will soon meet in session to elect
officers for both county and locals fol-
another year. to preside over and direct
in everything that is calculated or de-
cided to be for the good of the order,
as whole, by the agreement and Co
operation of each and every individual
member of their respective local and
locality, and for the maintenance and
upbuilding of the locals all over the
country. thereby lending strength and
support to the order at large, and upon
which the whole structure rests as a
foundation; for the F. Z. and e. u. of
A. is just so strong in proportion to
the strength of each branch or local.
measured by the steadfastness and
fidelity of each individual member, in
upbuilding and carrying out the princi-
pies of unionism and in keeping his OBJ
legation invioiate.
Now to start with. | feel my incom-
potency to offer anything new and |
shall not attempt to do so. But my
love for the order. and my appreciation
of the benefits offered to us as laboring
people by living up to the principles
taught therein, prompts me to offer
these few suggestions.
BY all means, in making your selec-
tion of officers for both county and To-
calls, set aside al! feeling as near as
possible as 10 personal preference
based on friendship, and vote for the
man who las demonstrates ny bis work
and zeal to be the one never to lose an
opportunity 10 say o. do something TO
further lhe cause Of unionisn, and to
ever keep before him the fact that to
enthuse others he must first become
enthused himself and that an idle
local never did nor never will appeal

into for help to remedy our troubles,
