HIGH water NOT
DANGEROUS YET
Flood Stage Likely to be Reached
SOOn-River Still
Rising.

With a river stage Of lib feet
reported today. and the Mississippi
continuing to rise at the rate of
from 3 to 5 of foot per day, the
flood stage of Is feet will be reach
ed within week or 10 days, is the
possibility suggested by J. M.
Sherier, meteorologist of the U. S.
weather bureau.
The river will continue to climb
slowly toward the flood stage this
week, Mr.. Sherier said. He does
not expect the effects of the heavy
northern rains, which have been
causing foods in the upper Missis-
sippi and its tributaries, particular
ly at La Crosse, Wis, to be felt
here for six or seven days. The
river will probably reach the flood
stage at that time, he believes, and
possibly exceed it. The crisis will
be reached in about 10 days after
which the water will begin to re-
cede, he predicts. Rains of the last
few days which have made the
recent rises were comparatively To-
cal and have not greatly affected
the continued rise Of the river, Mr.
Sherier stated.
Should the Mississippi attain the
flood stage it would very probably
greatly curtail operations Of fac
tories situated in the west end OF
the city. The Bridge & Iron Works
report that their factory is in nc
danger from foods and that the
| river will have to rise considerably
before it will cause much damage
No complaints have been received

residents in the western part of the
city, the emergency sewer pump

vitation of the Rock Island Cham
Der of Commerce to a luncheon
which was to have been given in
his honor at the Rock Island club
on his arrival here. it was stated
in a telegram received this morn
ing.
The wire. addressed to 0. F. Hid
ebrandt, acting secretary Of the
Chamber of Commerce, reads as
follows: MY visit to Rock Island
will be of short duration and the
time will be spent in inspection.
Unhappily the uncertainty of &C
complishing all that is desired in
the short time allowed makes it i'm
possible to accept your cordial in
vitation."

One of the objects of his visit will
be to consider the removal of the

ago. In case this change is made
another department will be added
which will be of vastly more value
TO the community.
The extent of the arsenal force

press reports. He will determine
whether the force is to be reduced
