matter of weeks Levees must be re-
paired before the business section can
be cleared OF water.
All the levees were washed out in
the flood and restoration of the river
TO its natural bed presents an engi-
neering problem Of great magnitude
In the vicinity Of the state hospital
the nearest the correspondent could ap.

was approximately half mile. Part
of the railroad yards here had been
washed away and the river had etsab-

Trees and masses of other debris
could be seen, carried down from the

Rescue work was TO be carried on
with renewed vigor today. A day Of
sunshine would aid materially in low

make possible a rather thorough in

flood and military officials say that
bodies may be found here weeks later
when il has been made possible to
pump out the basement and shovel out

Fourteen doctors and 25 nurses ar
rived here last night from Colorado

Business men attributed much OF
the flood to the blocking OF the flood
