GAP IN GRAVES
dixie WIDENING
Little Effect on Stage Of
River-Expect High
Water Mark

Memphis, April S.--Weather bureau Of
ficials here estimated tonight that the
high water mark at Memphis of the pres
ent Mississippi river flood would be APP
proximately one foot higher than the
record stage of last year, 45.3 feet To-
nights gauge reading showed stage of
45.S feet. a rise of two-tenths in IL hours.
The crest is passing New Madrid, Mo-,
and should reach Memphis within two
or three days.
Up to late hour tonight all of the
main levees along the central reaches of
the river, with the exception of the en-
bankment at Graves Bayou, Ark, which
went out this morning, are intact, but ths
situation is hourly growing more acute.
Favorable weather conditions were re-
ported south of Cairo today, but at st.
Louis two inches OF rain fell and the
river there rose six-tenths of foot. To-
morrow wind and transforms, moving
across Oklahoma tonight, will probably
be general over the river valleys.
The gap in the Graves Bayou dixie.
about "a miles south of Memphis, is re-
ported about 700 feet wide tonight and
widening rapidly. Water coming through
this break will flow back into the Mis-
sissippi in about five days through the
St Francis river north of Helena, Ark,
after flooding portions of Crittenden, st.
Francis and Lee county, Arkansas. 1t is
expected to have but little If any effect
on the stage of the river here, but will
probably alleviate conditions to some ex-
tent in the vicinity of Helena.
