Chicago March 24 It is regarded as almost certain that Burlington will withdraw from the traffic associations soon after Santa Fe withdrawals. Rock Island Milwaukee and St Paul are expected to withdraw before night. Disruption of associations likely but not necessarily demoralization of rates. Burlington assigns Chairman Caldwell to manage mileage tickets and clergy permits as a step toward reorganizing the Western Passenger association on new lines.

Extent of District Under Water Near Memphis Report
Captain WF McCay of the Anchor Line steamship BIW Cis reports from Memphis March 2 that the overflowed valley south of the city has swollen to about 40 miles wide in front of Memphis with a 9 mile average spread and depths near 21?7 feet. The town of Matton, Ark., is under water and only the Iron Mountain road remains passable. The flooded area extends from 50 miles below Memphis to Point Pleasant, 150 miles above the city, and floods hogs and cattle but few horses. Levees north of Cairo hold, but the levees between Cairo and Memphis must be raised to curb overflow. No major relief from this region this year.
