The Eddy Company in Hull had toshut off more of their machines and 75 men are laid off there. The yards of the saw mill are under water in several places but the chief difficulty is the lack of power as the tai] races of the pow- er plants are so high that there is very little head from the dam above the falls, The Chaudiere Falls is a spectacular torrent and many visitors are photographing them. The Water in the Coulonge River rose two inches during the night and it is now presumed that with other tributaries in the same posi- tion, the water in the Ottawa Riv- er will be still higher over the week-end. Water Slowly Rising The Ottawa River went up about two inches last night, according to readings at the locks at the foot of Parliament Hill today, This in- dicates that the advance in the river levels which has ,pushed on, day after day, slowly but with never a pause, is at last almost at a standstill and only a big rain it is thought, would send it much higher. Meanwhile a determined battle is goihg on to avoid shutting down the plants of the Booth Company and the Eddy Company - which would throw some eight or nine hundred more men out of employ- ment. Already about 175 men have been laid off on account of the. encroachments of floods at these industries. Log erib works have been constructed and extra pumps installed to keep the water out of vital spots in plants, Despatches from the north coun- try indicate that head gaters of the Pttawa River are still rising. This would indicate possibility of the river here mounting still high- er, although those vitally concern- ed are hoping that the peak is reached. A cold north wind today is add- ing to the discomforts of those residents at Gatineau Point who are living in the upper portions of their houses, because main floors are 'awash or actually under water. Milkmen, breadmen 'and 'other trades people are making their de- liveries by boats on several of the streets. SARNIA LADY IS ACTIVE AT 92 Sarnia, May 11--Scores of friends of Mrs. E.
