AREA is THINLY INHABITED
Less Than Is Per Cent of Land Is
in Cultivation.

Memphis, Tenn.-The break in the st.
Francis levees at Graves bayou is not
as serious as it might have been if it
had occurred at any point further
north. Graves bayou is not many
miles from the end of the st. Francis
lovee, and the water flowing through
the break will meet the back water
of the st. Francis river, which sur
rounds the lower end of the levee, ow-
ing to the fact that the break oc-
Cured higher up. Another fact which
has an important bearing on the mis-
fortune is that the land now flooded
is sparsely settled, there being only
few hamlets in the entire area.

RECIPROCITY IS ADVOCATED
Tariff Bill Would Widen Market for
Our Goods.

Washington.-An attempt to widen
the foreign market for American goods
and to encourage reciprocity treaties
with all foreign nations is embodied
In the new tariff introduced, in a
clause empowering the president to
grant favors to any nation that gives
mutual concessions to the United
States. The reciprocity clause takes
the place of the penalty clause of the
present tariff law by which it was
sought to secure special concessions to
the United States. The new tariff bill
proposes that the normal tariff rates
shall be granted to countries that will
enter into reciprocity with the United
States. In the present law the normal
rates are the minimum.

BREWER NOT WORRIED.
Plenty of Time to Answer Suit of the

Gov. Brewer, when asked when he
would be ready to answer the libel suit
filed against him by members of the pen

have until September, which is the time
for holding the next civil term for the
first district of Kinds county, in whicS

the governor is not worried over the
matter, nor is he even discussing the
subject. He simply reiterates his pre-
vious declaration, that there is nothing
for him to say in the newspapers at
the present time, at any rate.

Rain, like those terrible storms that
90 in from the Caribbean sea upon the
Spanish Main, yesterday caused the
gravest situation that those who are
fighting the flood along the levee line
from New Madrid to Helena have ever
faced.
The danger is triple one.
The immediate effect of the rain was
to drive the forces from the levee line.
The second effect was to soften the
earth, make sloughing more probable
and the earth harder to handle.
The ultimate effect is another crest
to come down the river, the size of
which crest no man can now determine,

FEAR AT 0ScE0LA, LUxoRA AND
MOUND CITY, ARK.
DANGER TO WHOLE SYSTEM
Cloudbursts in Arkansas and Heavy
Rains in Upper valley-Second
Flood Is Coming
Stages Are Passed.

| Wilson, Ark.-The st. Francis leyee
broke at point about opposite this
town at $3.50 Wednesday afternoon
The break occurred at point where il
was least expected, and in few hours
stream 500 feet wide was running
through the crevasse and rapidly widen
ing. No loss of life is reported. The
people had been warned for several days
that break was imminent.
Other weak spots developed Wednes-
day afternoon and night at Mound City,
Ark, at Osceola, Ark, where the water
overtopped the levee, and at Luxora,
Ark, where boils appeared. 1t was
stated that through heroic efforts work
ers might be able to hold the levee at
all of these points.
Torrential rains, assuming the pro-
portions of cloudbursts, occurred We'd
nesday throughout Central, Northern
and Eastern Arkansas.
Rapid rises are expected from the
Ohio river and the upper Mississippi
tributaries as well, which will bring
another flood on top of the present one,
and fears are entertained for levees be-
ing overtopped or broken through the
entire st. Francis system.
Late reports from Wilson are that
the st. Louis division of the Frisco rail
road had been cut. This will not af-
feet traffic to great extent, as the
line has already been out of use from
the cut at Lilbourn, Mo. The water
from Wilson will eventually cut of
railroad traffic west from Memphis on
all except perhaps the Frisco railroad.
