Too Narrow.

Viewing, from the end of the filling
on Cedar street the confines of the
basin included between this street and
the Prairie Mill dam, one can obtain
some adequate idea of the tremendous
force of the waters by the evident
results. On the east side of the river
the banks are thirty feet high, COM
posed of limestone with super
imposed stratum of sandstone. The
limestone ledge from top to base was,
previous to the recent flood, rough and
uneven, with many prominent pro-
jections. The force of the water
mingled with sand and shell rock
abraded from the west bank, cut away
these projections and smoothed off
the surface of the wall for quite
distance where the current came
squarely against the face of the rock
at the point of turning opposite the
angle made by the filling. Lying
against the bank below the bridge
were three huge rocks that at some
previous time had fallen from the
limestone bank caused by the under
mining waters working constantly
against the sandstone stratum.
These enormous rocks were carried
down the stream several rods and
moved farther into the center of the
stream. An added evidence of the
mighty power of this wall of waters is
seen in the position and condition of
the iron bridge carried away. 1t was
moved two blocks and lies tangled up
against the bank in one inseparable
mass. This iron fra me weighed many
tons, yet the waters carried il along
as if it had been floating toy. The
bank on the west side of the stream,
commencing at the end of the mill
dam, is washed away for distance of
one hundred and twenty feet to the
west aud fifteen or twenty rods to the
south. Much of this bank was COM
posed Of shell rock; some of it of sand
and soil. The great volume of water
came through the broken dam with
westward detection, the whole force
striking the bank and constantly dis
migrating it. The force was very
further and further into and down
the bank in that direction. Thence
it was forced by the filling around to
the east and through the space under
the bridge. This space was altogether
too narrow an outlet for the accumu-
lated waters and the filling was soon
washed away for a distance of one
hundred feet back. The abutment of
the bridge was annihilated, notwith-
standing the immense amount of
rock in the huge pile. This long fill
ing constituted a dam land contem-
plating consequences one is inclined
TO add an n to it, that confined the
waters in this circumscribed basin
until it reached height of sixteen
feet, and with the tremendous velocity
and momentum evidenced by the
| widespread disintegration of the rocky
banks above, as a natural consequence,
carried away the bridge. The convic-
tiOn is almost inevitable to one look
ing over the situation as it must
have been in this basin on the morn
ing of the 10th that this filing was
| the cause of most of the disaster that
followed below. OF course. at the
time of constructing this bridge and
filling, such calamity as this UMPIRE
cedented flood, was considered an i'm
probability from the short and
narrow basin of the Kinnickinnic.
But experience is good school,"
