CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. 3.-With
the water again c.im bing, the outlook
for this threatened valley is still rather
uncomfortable. For fifteen miles be-
tween Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire,
and nearly the came distance at Durand,
the river is massed with packed ice and
timber and is hourly becoming worse.
The water has been backed up, flooding
part of Durand and the lower levels OF
this city. Lumber mills are surrounded
and partially engulfed by the water,
which has frozen. Near by business
places and dwellings are in the same
predicament, although being little far
ther away from the river channel, their
situation is not so serious.
The railroads are not suffering as
much as might be expected. The
Omaha runs along high bluffs, and has
not been in the least hampered. The
Wisconsin Central tracks are covered
with water and it's trains use the Omaha
tracks. Thee river branch of the Mill
waukee & st. Panl has stopped business
for the present.
Colonel w. A. Jones, of the United
States army of st. Paul, in charge of the
government works in this section, will
confer with the authorities in regard to
another attempt to break the ice dam
here. 1t is feared that break in the
Little Falls dam, thirty miles above
here, would carry nearly everything
away here. The people OF Eau Claire
fear the result if the ice gorge here
breaks too suddenly, while those below
Durand are entertaining fear for the
outcome there.
Yesterday the water touched "a feet 5
inches, the highest yet, and later
dropped foot, but at 8 80 o'clock this
morning again had risen to the highest
figure, and was still rising slowly at 9
O'Clock. Mayor Irvine drove down the
river to Gravel, six miles from here,
where an attempt will be made to break
the gorge. The people are still moving
from their houses today. Many offers
of relief have been received from various
quarters, and relief will be necessary
before the end of the trouble comes.
