THE BEE: OMAHA, THURSDAY, MAY 20, 1920. 11 HITCHCOCK VISITS XFLOOD DISTRICTS! TO ASKJU. HELP Senator to Request War De partment; to Make Survey Preparatory to Installation Of New Equipment. Senator Hitchcock, Mayor Smith, Superintendent A. B. Hunt of the Metropolitan water plant, County Supervisor Louis Adam and city and county commissioners went through the entire flooded area of the north river bottom lands and Iso investigated the river and road conditions north of the Florence pumping station, yesterday after noon. The senator was interested in the situation and was convinced that teps should be taken by the federal' government to prevent a recurrence of the devastation of the last few days. The visitors were impressed with the necessity of protecting the high way which leads northward from the Minne Lusa water station. There is one point in the road where its cinder edge overlooks the river, making a perilous situation for motorists, who are warned when traveling this road in the night time. To Seek Immediate Relief. Senator Hitchcock will take the matter up with the War department with a view to having a preliminary .L, survey rnade and w;II do some tol-3;fsTow-up work, to the end that some- r thing may be done without pro ' longed delay, he said. County and city officials will do temporary repair work, which must be temporary for tje most part, be cause it is a situation that calls for ubstantial rip-rapping and current deflectors. The river follows a sin iious course from a point north of ' Florence. Superintendent Hunt of the water plant told the inspection party that within his memory of nearly half a century he had never " ieen the river so wide as it was yes- terday afternoon nortli of Florence. Tramp Through Sand. The officials and senator went to . " a point along the river near where the break occurred in Florence lake. They tramped through stretches of sand where automcbiles could not be driven. The itinerary included a trip around Carter lake boulevard y as far as it was possible to go from the west, bringing up at a place where the road ahead was inundated. The bath houses at Municipal beach are several feet in, water and Sandy Point is marked only by the bathing house. The boat house of Carter Lake club rests in the water. Carter lake has been rising, but in other-parts of the lowland there , were evidences of recession of the ! water. The . river also has been showing a lower water stage. Three-tenths of a. foot drop was bserved in the river yesterday at v Sioux City and the bridge at Blair indicated that the river stage had lowered one foot within 24 hours. ' Joseph Hughes, custodian of Car- ter Lake club, said that the lake con tinued to show -a 'rise,-wfckh was glower than observed durmg Mon wtay. The lake water rose yesterday at the rate of pne-tourth of an inch an nour, as against an men an nour on Monday. Mr. Hughes believes that the crest of the flood has passed. The club's bowling alley ' and motion picture theater were flooded and the water reached the wall of the dance pavilion. Many of the residents of the club grounds were bailing out their cellars yester- . day. Men and boys are spearing fish in places where they may traverse in wading boots. It is feared that , many carp have entered Carter lake and that these cannibal fish will eat he bass and other desirable species. ' . The Stock Yards pumping station tthe South Side was accessible om the land yesterday, after hav- htg been isolated for 24 hours. Auto Trucks Are Used in Shipping Cattle and Hogs . Owing to the growth of the de mand for farm trucks the public market in cities has been a great suc cess and has provided an outlet for .. the farmers for his garden and other produce, according to L. J. Swanson of Noela, la:, who was a shipper to tfce local stock yards this week. , "The 'Shipby-Truck' campaign Is ' getting the full support of the far mers in my neighborhood, said Mr. Swanson. "We had our cattle in from a distance of 60 miles, my neighbor, Tames Arrick, and my aalf. He had eight head and I had nine. The total cost of trucking both bunches amounted to consid H arable less than if we had shipped Jirail. Practically everyone in mv part of the country has their prod uce trucked to market now and all are well satisfied." According to Harry Brown of Dumfries, la., sending hogs to market by auto beats the old way of .waiting two weeks for a car to snip them. He said he found it much cheaper to hire a truck to take the hogs to market than it is to send . by rail and that he believed the mod- ' em , truck is the greatest help the far mer has received from the outside for a great many years. .
