Houses Near Old State Ditch Flood ed Fears Ahout Work on Dams and Bridges. 1 During May, which ended yesterday, the observers here noted a total rainfall of 6.11 Inches, and of this, 1.72 inches fell since last Sunday. Forecast Official Wappenhana says he. doe not see much hope for a cessation of the rain until tomorrow, although It is probable It may cease to night. iMr.

Wsppenhahs says much depends on the future distribution of this rainfall as to whether there will be floods. He says the earth is charged! to its full capacity, with water, and thatj If the stream ar required to carry away a further fall of rain, they may prove insufficient for the demand. Many part of' the city are beginning to suffer from the high water, even place some distance from the river and creeks. A part of Jackson Place, in the extreme northeastern part of the city, is flooded, and som of the house are surrounded toy water. The old State ditch, which runs through the district, is filled to Overflowing, and water from Fall creek, so toe distance away, has backed over the low lands.

In several parts of the city, where the land is low and poorly drained, the water stands, in large ponds, which continue to rise with the rainfall. White river and Fall creek and many smaller creeks are rising, and considerable damage Is expected. Tnere is' fear that the driftwood and heavy current In th river i will Injur th Riverside park dam, Which 1 not yet completed.
