ARKANSAS RIVER
FLOOD RfC[DIhC
LOSS HEAVY ON CADRON
TRAFFIC SERIOUSLY INTER
RUPTED BY HIGH WATERS
IN THIS COUNTY.
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
After reaching a stage of 23.9 feet,
or nearly one foot over flood stage,
at Little Rock, the Arkansas river be-
gan falling about noon yesterday and
the flood is rapidly receding today.
A telephone report from the river
this afternoon states that the fall has
already amounted to about two feet.
The lowlands on the river front in
this county, the most of which is In
late corn, were again covered, but
the acreage on which the stalks were
completely immersed is comparative
ly small and the damage will be
slight.
The worst effects from the flood in
this county will be felt along Cadron
creek and it's tributaries, where an
unusually big headwater occurred
simultaneously with the river flood.
Several thousand acres of growing
crops have been submerged and the
damage will be heavy. A. L. Nichols
of Wooster reports that he has 50
acres of corn, parts of which are Is
feet under water.
The Cadron overflow has seriously
interferred with traffic between Con-
way and points north. A large party
of Conway people are marooned at
Pinnacle Springs and are unable to
get home until the waters subside.
The Conway-Little Rock road near
Palarm was overlooked to depth of
about three feet and half-dozen or
more automobiles stalled in the water
and had to be pulled out with mules
yesterday.
