The situation at Cairo has been grow¬
ing more serious daily, and may be said
to have reached a crisis. ’Th^ country
for miles is under water, and hundreds
of people whose homes are in the bot¬
toms have sought refuge in the high¬
lands. Hundreds of farms in Missouri,
Illinois and Kentucky are completely
submerged.
In many cases families are living in
boat houses or rafts, while in other in¬
stances, people whose houses are on
slight elevations, stick to them with
water all around. There has been great
lois of live stock, but no human lives
have yet been lost
More than half of the city of Cairo is
submerged, and business is paralyzed,
the only means of communication being
by boat. The levees in the vicinity still
stand the strain, but the water “backs”
up in the rear doors of the city as it
were.
Levee* Not Safe.
Great efforts and thousands of dollars
have been spent on the levees along the
lower Mississippi, and the boasts of the
contractors made the people believe they
were safe. There certainly has been
good work done, but a chain is only as
strong as its weakest link. The people
here were aroused to a knowledge of
this fact by the tweaking of the levee
near the town of Arkansas City, where
the embankment was built almost
wholly of sand.
When tiw water once got through
_
there seemed to be no stopping of it, and
within twenty-four hours there was
a crevice sixty feet wide and rapidly
widening. The breaks let the water in
one of the richest sections in the world.
Every man capable of handling a shovel
has been pressed into service, and an
army is at work, but with scant hope of
accomplishing much.
