from their homes, by the flood in
this vicinity.
Cairo Levee Near Break
st. Louis, Mo-, April 13.-Farm-
ers residing in the east Cape Cir
ardeau and Clear Creek drainage
district near Carlo, Ill.,, today
were frantically attempting to pre-
vent the levee protecting the dis
trict from giving way as result
OF pressure from the flood waters
of the Mississippi river, according
TO advices received here.
Hope of saving the levee has viz
tualIy been abandoned, according
to the report. A stage of 81 feet,
the highest since 1874, has been
predicted in a day or two for that
point on the river. Hundreds of
sand bags have been dispatched
from Cairo to the district to rein
force weak spots in the dixie.
A tract of approximately 10000
acres of rich farming land in the
extreme northwestern part of AL
exander county would be inundated
if the embankment should break,
the advices added.
Cape Girardeau Hit.
The Mississippi was reported to
have reached a stage of As feet at
Cape Girardeau, Mo, and the Ohio
continues to rise at Cairo. The
rise in the Ohio is caused by back
water from the swollen Mississip-
ri. A crest of So feet or two feet
lower than the peak of two weeks
ago is predicted for Carlo.
Considerable land above and be-
low St. Louis will be inundated if
a predicted stage of over 80 feet is
expected by Friday.
Light damage other than the in
undation of railway tracks and
saepage into the warehouses along
the levee has been caused by the
high water here.
