the thermometer still lowering about
zero and the water again climbing
the outlook for this threatened val

fifteen miles between Chippewa Falls
and Eau Claire, and for nearly the
same distance at Durand, the river
is packed with ice and timber and is
hourly becoming worse. Water has
backed up on and is flooding parts of
Durand and the lower levels in this
city, but this is the worst damage.
Col. w. A. Jones, U. S. A., of St Paul,
in charge of the government works
in this section, arrived during the
night and will confer with the author
tiles regarding another attempt to
break the ice dam here. Along the
river there is Nritical situation and
in the city theFe1Are more fears from
the result il Little Falls dam should
break than over the local flood situa-
ton. 1t is feared the breaking of the
Little Falls dam 80 miles above here
would carry nearly everything away.
In the same way the people of Eau
Claire fear the result If the ice gorge
here breaks too sudden, while those
below Durand entertain fears for the
outcome there.
