IEvEE BREAKS
IN ARKANSAS
THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF RICH
FARMING LAND AFFECTED
BY FLOODS.
TOWNS ARE INUNDATED
VILLAGES TO 10 FEET UNDER
WATER - PROPERTY LOSS
AMOUNTS TO MILLIONS.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Memphis, Tenn.-The torrent of the
Mississippi river rushing southwark
tore another great gap in the levees
guarding the valley.
The crevasse occurred sixty miles
north of Memphis, in the embankment
that held the stream off the central
part of st. Francis levee territory in
Arkansas.
This new breach simply adds to the
great floods reaching northeast Arkan-
sis. Already part of the district had
been inundated. Apparently there will
be no loss of life.
In the fastness OF the northeast Ar
kansas country are settlements that
the outside world rarely ever heard Of
In several places naught of the COM
ing flood was known. There is pos
sibility that many such places have
been overtaken by the tide. Doubtless
there has been tremendous suffering
among these water-imprisoned people.
South of Memphis the levees are
holding well and armed men are pa
trolling them.
Between LOO and 1000 square
miles, including more than 100000
acres of rich farming land in north
eastern Arkansas in the St. Francis
basin, are affected by a break in the
main line of the levee system about
fifty miles north of Memphis, near Col
den Lake, Ark.
Marked Tree and Wilson, Ark, are
inundated, and many other villages are
threatened. No loss of life had oc-
Cured so far as known here. Tele-
phone lines to Marked Tree and Will
son are down.
The damage will run into millions.
Thousands of head of livestock per-
ish. Boats bearing rescue parties al
ready are in these parts of flooded
areas nearest Memphis.
News from the other sections of the
northern river district is cheering.
Supplies of tents, bedding and cloth
ing arrived in the Reelfoot lake terri
tory of Tennessee. Refugees brought
from Wyanoke, Ark, have been made
comfortable in Memphis.
The diversion of vast quantity of
water into the st. Francis basin by the
break should afford relief between
Barfield and Helena, about 200 miles
Towns which engineers say are un-
der water from three to ten feet deep
are: Marked Tree, 200 persons; Will
son, 500; Big Lake, 200; Deckerville,
500; Tyronea, $50.
Besides these many minor settle
ments probably are inundated.
At Wilson and Marked Tree there
are large sawmills. The loss to these
possibly will reach s1,0OO.O00.

Beet Planting Begins.

Greeley Beet planting has begun
in the Greeley district and the first
fields planted were those at Peckham
nine miles south OF here. By the end
of the week hundreds Of acres of beef
seed will be in the ground and q de
termined effort Will be made to gel
the entire crop planted by April 25
The acreage contracted for Greeley
Eaton and Windsor factories has now
reached 34.45O acres while the entire
acreage to be grown in Weld county
will easily reach $4,000 acres. OF this
acreage 1880 has been pledged up te
date for the Greeley factory. On a con
servative estimate the value of thu
crop from this acreage will bs -,
100,500.
Several hundred carloads OF bee
seed will be planted in northern Cole
rado this season.
