I Every possible precaution for emer- s gency has been made by both federal and state authorities and levee engi- j neers have settled down for a period J of watchful waiting. Guards are pa- d trolling practically every foot of levee b between Cairo and Helena, on both c sides of the river engineers have been s assigned their stations at points r where there is a remote, probability that trouble may develop, thousands s of sand bags have been distributed 0 to strategic points wnerc tney can o be rushed where a dangerous situa- r tion may develop within a few hours r and forces of workmen are ready to bo assigned wherever needed. The river at Memphis tonight shows approximately 41.<5 feet on the gauge and i% expected to top the 42 fool mark before morning at the present rate of rise. At Cairo the river is still stationary, but with indications, ( according to weather bureau officials, c that the heavy rains in the central valley may cause a slight rise there before tomorow night which may continue for several days. A further rise in the Ohio is also expected due to rains and considerable water is reported coming out of the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. A considerable rise at St. Louis was also reported last night and today. The revised prediction for a stage exceeding 43 feet at Memphis was issued this noon after reports of heavy rains in the central Mississippi Ohio and Missouri river valleys had been received. Reports from all parts of the levee system south of Cairo tonight say that all are holding safely and that there are no indications of serious trouble anywhere. Seepage and sand boils are of frequence occurrence all i along the line, but with the adequate I I "u?m?n? Ni 'In?, HHm*<HUU. + trouble are soon located and repairs a made before the trouble spreads. t Harry N. Pharr, chief of the St. s Francis board in charge of 170 miles of embankment extending from the r Missouri state line to the mouth of a St. Francis river, tonight issued a bul- c letin declaring that reports from I every point in the district received I tonight showed that the levee was s in splendid condition and able to i withstand a stage of 43.5 feet at ? Memphis without injury at any t point. The bulletin predicts that i the stage of water will reach that of i 191G, but adds that with the exception v of a short distance at the extreme a southern end, all levees in the district have been raised to withstand a stage I of 48 feet at Memphis.
