FLOODS FEARED
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THREATENED. STREAMS IN NORTH RAPIDLY RISING. GREAT DEPOSITS OF SNOW. United Press Association. —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. (Received Thursday, 7.40 p.m.) NEW YORK, March 14. Prophecies of ■widespread floods in the Mississippi are manifest in the West, where people fear that the great flood of 1927 may be repeated this spring. Illinois, Indiana and Winconsin rivers are beyond their banks and great deposits of snow await warmer weather to bring them down the Mississippi Valley. Every important stream in the Missouri Valley and in the north-west is rising. With the Upper Mississippi at flood stage now, Galena, in Illinois, is under-, going the worst flood for fifteen years, and the water is still rapidly rising. Two railways are tied up and many farms flooded.—(Australian Press Association.)
