ICE IN THE MISSOURI.

GORGE NEAR OMAHA AND POSSIBLE NEW
CHANNEL.
OMAHA, Neb., March 10, 1877.
The Missouri River IL just now full Of floating ice,
the result Of tho recent cold snap and immense
gorge has formed In the Big Bond in northeasterly
direction from the smelling works. causing the stream
to rise ut that point and overflow the bottom the
Iowa side For over quarter Of mile opposite the
smelling works the water pours down over tho Iowa
bank into main channel forming series Of falls
from four six feet high and over 200 IN num-
ber Al one place, the southern point the fall is from
forty to nity and about six iect high. THIS
cutoff Is what expected for several years. and
II was thought that when II did occur II would form
new channel where this body of water Is now rushing
the bottom. may be that the gorge Will make
Its old course.
