tightening and is holding back the
water at that point to the extent that
the reading at the Moline lock today

Yesterday officials were inclined to
make light Of the obstruction above
here, claiming that the swift course
of the water in the rapids would pre-
vent the gorge holding for any lengthy
period Today the obstruction is treat
ed more seriously and guards on the
Rock Island bridge are predicting
havoc when the gorge breaks, releas-
ing the large accumulation of water
which il is holding back.
The water is above the railroad
tracks at Bettendorf and continues to
rise. This situation takes the cheer
out Of the announcement that the Mis-
sissippi river at Rock Island lowered
another half foot since yesterday, the
reading today being an even Is feet.
While relief is being gradually given
this city because of the fall in the river
here, the future appears anything but
bright since the water at the Moline
lock is 80 feet higher than here.
