Moreauville. La.-With a OF rise
per "a hours for the last three days
in both Bayou des GLASSES and back
water, little land is left uncovered
in that section and at Moreaville
proper on the north or unprotected
side of the bayou. From this point to
Simmesport fully 10000 acres OF cul-
tivatable lands are under water and
fully 500 families In distress. This
amount comprise fully threefourths
the population Of Bayou des CLASSES.
The rural NATL delivery. school trans
fer and general traffic have been
stopped.
There is still an ascending current
in the bayou and the seepage water
shows up considerably on the pro-
tected side of des CLASSES from Voor-
HES to Bordelonville and to SHINES
port. rendering the use Of the road
almost impossible in some places. At
Simmesport, 1t is reported that there
is a defect In the levees. The point
were this is more noticeable is at the
junction Of the des CLASSES and Atcha-
falaya levees. The water soeps
through considerably and with a con-
tinued rising river and with inclement
weather, great fears are being enter
tanned for a break there.
With their farms under water and
continual rise. with the river still ris-
ing. indicating strong pressure Of
water from above. with an advanced
season, the flooded farmers have prac-
tically thrown up the sponge" and
are unable to make any further ad-

The Red Cross Society has literally

inundated farmers. but it is feared lit

TRANSFORMATION HIGH

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.-News of d promising gold placer strike in the Chandelar district, approximately 100 miles below Fort Yukon, has been given out by Allen Crane of that dis trict, at the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce.
 MT. Crane came here on business and to get the assistance of the Alaska Bureau of the Chamber in the effort being made to have the Government extend the mail service from Fort Yukon where there is a bi-monthly mail service from Circle, to Beaver City, which is the trading post and center of the Chandelar mining district
 He reports that the richest pay dirt in that division has yielded S2.75 square foot, but even with this good strike transportation costs and high provisions are holding the plon eers of that section from tne wealth hey are working so hard for. He says they are forced to pay $9O 6 toii oo o toChCldi iuiC lOi LlCloht shipped from Seattle to a point 1,500 niles up the Yukon where they take t by dog teams overland.
 MT Crane looks for much greater activity in the Chandelar district, IS 5000 has been taken from one creek alone, and good pay, has been struck on three claims adjoining this property. Mir. Crane says that the prospectors of the Yukon coun- try are complaining of the Govern nent's failure to properly mark the trails and he says his experience Of losing both feet as the result of lack of markings is but one of the similar experiences of pioneers there,
 The Government railroad, on which MT. Crane was employed for five years, is being built without any sauandering of public money. said Mir. Crane, who stated the engineer ing obstacles were not appreciated by people in the States, where rail roads do not as a rule have to do much blasting and make such heavy fills as the Alaskan Engineering Commission encountered.
 "We are thankful that the Govern ment is building the railroad, but to give the Far North the full benefit of steel rails. construction should not stop until the railroad has ex- ended to the Yukon River, so that it can touch that section without the combination of overland and water haul" said MT Crane.
