four inch rise IN
MISSOURI River
But This Is Not Taken as Indica-
ton That the Gorge Is
Giving Away.
BACKED UP 500 MILES
Estimate OF the Accumulated Water
Behind the Crystal Dam-Peopie
on Low Lands Would Do Well
~. to Be Careful.

Chamberlain, S. D., .aMrch 21.--With
the exception of a rise of four inches
IN the Missouri river, in all probability
caused by ice melting along the river
peu, conditions in regard to the ice
gorge are unchanged this morning
This gorge at Little Bend, sixty miles
above this point, is the most remark
able of the kind that has ever been wit
messed on this part of the Missouri
river
The formation began last Saturday,
when the water began to subside stead
lily until Sunday evening, when mere
brook was all that was left in the bot
tom of the main channel. At the time
OF the formation of the gorge the wa
ter had been the highest since the
breakup of the river on the 9th, and
the ferry Iowa had just been launched
into the water. The water lowered so
rapidly, however, that although she
had been placed well out in the chan
mel, she was soorr left stranded high
and dry on the bottom Of the river,
where she now lies. The hope of Com
modore Sanford is, that owing to the
distance from the gorge, the water will
have outdistanced the crush Of ice
when the break comes, and that it will
be. possible to float the boat into the
mouth of American creek, several hun
dred feet away, before the full weight
of the flood is felt.
Allowing the normal flow of four
miles per hour in the river it is cal
culated that a complete stoppage Of
the flow results in the accumulation Of
Il normal river of 2SS miles in length,
which gives some idea as to the guam
tity of the confined water. What the
result will be upon the giving away of
the gorge is, Of course, problematical,
as it may give way gradually, with
comparatively moderate results, or on
the other hand, with a rush. with vast
ly increased possibilities Of destruc-
ton. The situation becomes more acute
as time passes, for the present high
temperature, following the tremendous
snow fall Of Saturday and Sunday to
the NORTH. is certain to aggravate the
situation.
No particular apprehension is felt in
Chamberlain, as the town is located on
Il plateau from sixty to 100 feet above
the river. The only property en-
dangered is that of the Pontoon Bridge
company, comprising the ferry Iowa
and the boats and roadway of the
pontoon bridge. The pontoon bridge
material is largely deposited upon
American island. opposite the town,
and might easily be reached by the
flood Thousands Of dollars have also
been invested in bridge approaches and
piers which will be endangered. The
city also has quite extensive improve
ments on the island.n
While great apprehension may be
unfounded, yet in the light of past
experience with gorges Of lesser i'm
portance prudence would dictate that
those situated upon bottom lands along
the river should be prepared to pro-
tect themselves and property against
possible damage from the water.

THE MAN OF THE TST,An

From the side of the hill, which was

SAMUEL MILLER'S DEATH
HE WAS THE FATHER OF ENRIQUE
c. MILLER, OF THIS CITY.
Had Made n Great Fortune In Mexico
and Much of His Money He In
vested in Indiana.

Enrique c. Miller. OF 1920 North Delaware
street, is now at Parral, Mexico, where he
was called a few days ago by a telegram
announcing the death of his father. Samuel
Miller who died on May 80. Samuel Miller
was eighty-three years of age and was one
of the wealthiest and most noted Americans
in Mexico.
1t has been nearly eighteen years since he
was in Indiana, but part Of his vast fortune
was invested in Indianapolis real estate and
rich farms in Indiana. His wife died three
years ago, and he was buried beside her
at Parral.
Enrique c. Miller is the only living child
of Samuel Miller. and there are four living
grandchildren, who, it is said, will receive
part of the estate. In 1886 Samuel Miller be-
gan transporting goods overland from St
Louis to distant points in Mexico, passing
through Austin and San Antonio, Tex. He
was a native of Pennsylvania. but had
spent part of his life in Indiana before
taking up the overland business. This
business was fraught with great risk in
those early days. owing TO the hostile In
dams who occupied the frontier country
Mr.. Miller carried on this business sue
cessfully for a number of years, and then
located in the remote mining town of Par
raj, Mexico. where he resided until his
death. He accumulated a large fortune in
mining and other business enterprises.

SUBSCRIBERS DISSATISFIED.
They Protest Against Delay I'm Build
ing Heron Art Institute.

There seems to be some dissatisfaction
among subscribers 10 the fund for building
the Heron Art Institute because the Art
Association, organized TO carry out the
Heron bequest. has not been progressive
enough TO suit them. II is asserted that
the building cannot be completed within a
year, the time limit in the agreement when
funds were subscribed There is talk among
some of the dissatisfied contributors of TAX
ing legal proceedings to have their money
refunded unless the contract is carried out.
F. G.. Woods says sl2. 100 was raised with
the understanding that the grounds were
10 be made into park and that the insti-
tute building was to be finished in two
years. He says the understanding that
there was to be park was one of the main
considerations, and all that has been done
was to cut the grass and run string of
electric lights up to the old building and
paint the building. He also says the agree
ment that the first alley north of the prop
erty should be improved has not been com
piled with, and all the Improvement that
has been done was TO gravel path from
Sixteenth street up to the building.
DIR. F. c. Stewart says abutting property
owners paid 81 a front foot and surround
ing property owners 81 a front foot to the
fund. with the understanding that the
grounds were to be converted into a park
and that their children would have the ben
eft of il. He says he now understands that
children will not be allowed in the grounds.
