QUINCY, III., April 25. (AP)
All of the levees protecting near
by drainage districts were en
dangered today as additional
heavy rains gorged the Mississip
pi's tributaries and started a
raise in the parent stream which
was expected to exceed all records.
Hundreds of families fled to
higher ground after the weather
observatory at Hannibal, Mo., an
nounced "The Mississippi at
Quincy will reach from 22 to 22.4
feet by Friday."
If the maximum predicted state
is reached It will be nine tenths of
a foot higher than the crest of
last Monday, which broke all rec
ords for 78 years, and will be Just
one tenth of a foot less than that
of the great flood of 1851. Res
idents of the neighboring low
lands expressed fear that none of
the levees would hold.
Farmers In the Lima lake dls
trict, ten miles above here, and In
the hunt district which adjoins It
to the north, moved out today
taking along such belongings as
tney would need during a pro
tracted absence, and storing other
household goods In second stories
and attics, and driving their lire-
stock up onto the bluffs.
There are 14,000 acres in the
Lime lake tract and 16,00 in the
hunt area, with approximately
200 families living there. If the
dike breaks in one of these dis

probable damage estimated at
close to 11.000,000.
In the Gregory district of Mis

out today or were packing their

There are about f.OOO acres and

possible damage in case of floods,
of approximately 1300,000.
