THREE FISHERS.

Three fishers went sailing out into the
west.
Out into the west as the sun went
down;
Each thought ON the woman who loved
him best.
And the children stood watching them
out OF the town.
For men must work and women must
weep,
And there's little to earn and many
to keep:
Tho the harbour bar be moaning.
Three wives sat UP in the Hight house
tower,
And they trimmed the lamps as the
sun went down.
They looked at the squat and they
looked at the shower,
And the night rack came rolling up
ragged and brown;
But men must work and women
must weep.
Three corpses lay out on the shining
sands,
In the morning CLEAN as the tide went
down.

And goodbye to ths bar ana its

That is the explanation of the flood.
The water will flow on, some of it will
seep down into the soil as it goes,

is hardly possible that SO much will
be lost in this way, however, that
there will not be enough left to flood
the Mississippi and break over the
leVees.
1t may find some sidetrack and
more of it may be seeped up than we
have estimated. owing to the fact
that much of the ice has gone from
the southern section of the route it
must follow, the ground there might
be in condition to receive more of 1t.
But further flood, not so disastrous.

the same flood conditions prevail, but
are not so severe, because they drain
directly into the great lakes and there
are more channels provided for the

after organizing the sanitation relief
forces in flooded Ohio cities, are salts
fed that the danger of pestilence In
the stricken district is being system

Every possible precaution has been
taken, and the surgeon general de-
clared the work of cleaning up the
flooded homes was progressing sys-
tematically everywhere. Both in
Dayton and in Hamilton, where the
destruction was great, sewerage out

further safeguard, the surgeon-gen-

drinking water taken therefrom.
ION account of the danger of the
transmission of communicable dis
eases by pollution water procured in
the flooded districts" Dr. Blues ap-
peal reads, lit is requested in the in

be sterilized by boiling or by the
application of steam. Water contain

daily sterilized by the application of
live steam.
Your cooperation in carrying out
these instructions is earnestly re-

The surgeon-general further de-
clared that the conditions every

federal government are giving liber-

All reports indicate here that criti-

river valley today. Perhaps worse
property loss than up to the present

The crest of the Ohio river food is
due at Cincinnati today, but the exact
hour cannot be told. The weather
bureau is working overtime to send
news of flood developments.
Major General Wood, who is in the

are receiving it,
ANY supplies available should be
held for possible needs further down

What is the reason for the great
flood that swept death and destruc-
ton before it in Ohio and Indiana?
Why is it that great walls of water
annually hurl themselves through
the Ohio valley or the Mississippi
valley?
When the continent of North Amer
lea was raised from the waters that
covered the globe, the peaks of the
Appalachian mountains appeared
first; then came parts of the Rockies
and then the central plain, the very
first part of which to appear was the
part now stricken with food
All that part of the country south
of the Ohio river remained under
water long after Ohio and Indiana
emerged But on the part of dry land
just made was a ridge, the summit
of which is north of the central parts
of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Ihls
summit reaches a height of 1000 feet
above sea level at Bellefontaine, O.,
and the slope is so rapid to the south
that Cincinnati is only 500 feet above
sea level Between the two points is
Dayton and Columbus. Water that
falls on one side of this summit flows
south to the gulf. Water falling a
few feet away on the other side flows
to the great lakes.
When the southern part of the
country rose above water that sec
ton lying south of the Ohio sloped to
the west toward the Mississippi and
to the south, as shown by the courses
of the Ohio, Cumberland, Tennessee
and Mississippi rivers. The greatest
slope was to the south.
This formation, therefore, left the
particular section in Indiana ano
Ohio, where the worst of the floods
are today, the very lowest part of the
central plain and the slope from
them ran straight south to the gull
in an almost unbroken line, forming
a depressed basin wide at the tor
and narrowing to the point between
the Appalachian and Ozark noun
tains, from which point 1t widened
Join the depression of Florida and the

The mammoth gully, therefore, was
the natural outlet for all the excess

during the last few weeks. 1t was
against this that the wind beat and
held the rain that was melting the
ice in check And then the wind sud-
denly slowed down. It's strength was
not great enough to hold back the
waters any longer. And the water

trade board committee has sent out
more than 1000 letters appealing for
funds, and a great influx of money
is expected tomorrow. The commit
tee will meet tomorrow afternoon to
go over plans for swelling the fund.
1t is hoped to raise at least $4,000
here. The committee wishes to an
nounce through the press that contri-
buttons of any amount will be re-
ceived and acknowledged The office
of the board will be open day and
night this week to receive eontribu-
tions.
Several benefits are being arranged
to raise money for the people of the
stricken States. The largest of these
will be a concert to be held in the
First Battalion Armory next Friday
night. The use of the armory has
been granted without charge by
Major William B. Martin, the GUS

THREATENED TIE-UP.
OF EVERY SILK MILL

JERSEY CITY, N. j., March 81
A strike which will tie UP every silk

with the Paterson strikers. is immi-

in a monster mass-meeting, when
there was practically unanimous

Practically the whole city is under

Owing to the warnings of flood dan

will be any loss of life here.
During the fire the factory build

and carried about five squares, by

fed to the highlands, but it is not
believed there is enough food for
