IMMENSE AREA TO
 BE UNDER WATER
Believe Lake Extending into Louisiana Be Formed by Flood Wate,S.- Diili- culty Experienced In Sealing Boat
 to Remove 900 Negro COnvicts.

Five counties in Arkansas and at least two parishes in Louisiana, will suffere partial inundation, as a re- suit of the five breaks in the levees on 'he Arkansas river near the state penitentiary farm, and which oc- cured between o'clock Monday and 2 o'clock Tuesday forenoon.
 An aggregate of from 125,000 to 150,000 acres of cleared land will, suffer from overflow, it is estimated by men well acquainted with the con-, ditions.
 Early yesterday afternoon, the water was flowing ovsr the Iron Mountain tracks less than a mile south of Warner, and .as there was considerable fcrpe to the flew of i'waser. fears were entertained that traffic on tho Iron Mountain might be, stopped there, by reason of the road bed being eaten away by the water. A worktrain and extra large crew of men were put to work at the scene, and were kept there the greater part ot the evening and early night. Lincoln, Drew, Ashley, Desha and Chicot counties, in Arkansas, and East Carroll and west Carroll parishes, in Louisiana, will suffer in greater CT less degree, because of these breaks. T All the country lying between the Arkansas river and Bayou Bartholo- new, and between the Mississippi river and Big Bayou, are exected to form virtually one big lake. Among the towns expected to suffer are Dumas. Lake village, Warner, Gould. McGehee, Dermott and others.
 Many are Suffering Several hundred residents of the Douglas community and section are suffering as result of the breaks. All of yesterday, 20 or 30 families, some white and some black. remain ed on the top of levee that Is still holding. They were without food supplies until last evening late. and they had no fuel. Some of them were sparsely clad, and nearly all of them were wet. All were cold, and they suffered terribly
 Every possible effort was made, here in Pine Bluff and at Little Rock.

Flood Refugees Suffer.

The freezing weather which de- scended upon Pine Bluff and this sec tion Tuesday night and yesterday. caused much suffering among the ref ugees in and from the submerged area, which increased in extent again yesterday.
 Many of those who moved hurried ly into vacant houses, had been un- able to carry along sufficient bed clothing, or to have gas connections made or wood or coal stoves erected. The demand was too big for the sup ply, and as result many shivered through the night and tn day, and again last night
 There was difficulty also in making the delivery of food supplies to cus- toners who remained in the flooded areas, and this caused more trouble, although it might he considered triv- ial, in degree.
 Many Are Moved Out. Nearly 1C0 families moved out of the submerged area yesterday, and of these. city employees moved 37. There were more teams and vehicles at hand yesterday, individuals having responded generously to the cal! ,i Mayor Simon Bloom. in The Graphic yesterday morning.
 Many houses and rooms were listed with the Associated Charities yester- day, also in response to the call from President H. I. Holderness, which | was printed in The Graphic yester- day.
 The houses and rooms were placed 1 at the disposal of people who have been driven from their own homes by l the flood waters, and there is no charge or fee attached to their use during the period the high water re-

Appeal for Action by Piue Bluff to Remedy
 Flood Situation
Pine Bluff, Jan. 31, 1916.

 To the Public:
 Conditions that now exist in Pine Bluff, caus- ing loss to life sickness, distress and destruction of property reflect on our citizenship.
 How much longer will our people stand and look these conditions in the face? We raise money for everything that is needed and wanted in Pine Bluff Why won't the citizens form an improve ment district which will tax all the people this proposition and save our town from this horrible condition that exists every time the Arkansas river has rise, causing the lake bed to fill with water which creates sickness, destroys our property and our sewerage system? V
 LET US HAVE A HOUSING MASS MEET ING AND REMEDY THESE CONDITIONS WITHOUT FURTHER DELAY. COME 0N GOOD PEOPLE, LET US SET AN EARLY DATE. You have taxed yourselves to bury the dead, let us tax ourselves to protect the living.

doubtful If there Is another town its

same substantial growth that Bristow

house in the city--thar is n first class
house and at the same time there are
between fifteen and twenty good rest
dences under construction. some of
them being model homes and credit
to any community. Bristow never
has been boom city, but ITS growth
has been steady ever since its incep-
tion. some twenty years ago, having
made a gain of something over one
hundred year ever since 1t was put
on the map. Many of its most CON
scrvatlve business mcr think 1t is des-
tined to be the center of the Mid
Continent field and are holding on to
their property interests here on that
theory Every indication points to
the fact that the time has almost ar
rived, as 1t has been demonstrated
that there is oil In the earth beneath
