He waa awakened by the sound of rushing water, and the whole country round about seemed to be flooded. The headgate of the canal are cloaed at night, but enough water remained In the canal to cause considerable 1am- sge. Nearly all of the east Klamath Fall tract 1 flooded, and whether the wash from the banks covered up much alfalfa, land cannot be determined until the water subside. The water spread over the land, only stopping at the mac adam road, which lead out of Klamath Fall to the east. About so acres or alfalfa were destroyed, as the washing down of the alfalfa will prevent not only the present crop but the succeed ing crop of thla year from being harvested. It will take at least two weeks to re pair the damage, and meanwhile farm ers below the break are praying for rain, for the growing crop are In need of water.
