Rivers Threaten Pine Bluff as Flood Rises
Pine Bluff residents fear the Arkansas river will overflow banks when the present rise peaks. A mass meeting proposed diverting the river by cutting a canal through land near a horse shoe bend north of the city. In Guthrie Oklahoma floodwaters recede slowly with limited lowland inundation and no deaths. Bartlesville reports a second Caney River flood inundating farms. Coffeyville Kansas sees Verdigris flooding the bottom, with rail lines washed out on Missouri Pacific and Santa Fe routes and damage less than last month.
