MENAcED BY FLOOD
Great Falls, Mont, and Other Towns
TI,reatened-Bis smeIter Plant En-
daneered-Towns Swept Away.

Helena. Mont, April 1o.-Early today
vancing upon Great Falls, city of
5000 population, and it is believed the
Boston & Montana smelter, one of
the largest in the world, is doomed to
destruction. 1t is built on the river
bank The smelter employs 800 men.
The employees We're engaged all night in
the construction of a wing dam"
around the smelter. 1t is believed the
flood will reach the city by daylight,
and that the lowlands of the town
will be submerged before noon.
Thus far no loss of life is reported,
altho the river is thickly strewn with
debris from ranch houses and hay
stacks, among which are many animals
battling for their lives.
Craig, Mont, probably has been
wiped off the map, altho as far as
known all the 400 inhabitants escaped.
Cascade, town of 400 sixty-nine miles
north of Helena, is now under water
and in danger of being swept away.
Later developments in the bursting
Of the Lake Hauser dam near here yes
terday indicate that the first reports
were not exaggerated, and it is esti-
mated the final loss will be 100000.
An immense lake covering twenty
square miles in the valley below Hell
ena was completely drained at an early
hour today. Below Craig, and as far
as ulm, the great Northern tracks are
under water. Telegraphic and tele-
phonic communication is washed out,
and further details are unobtainable.
The entire village of Hauser Lake was
swept away. A number of houses in
Craig and Cascade are reported washed
away.
The Black Eagle dam across the
Missouri at Great Falls, was blown up
with dynamite in order to prevent the
destruction of the Boston & Montana
smelter, and this materially helped.
Serious danger from the flood is now
probably over. A smelling workman
was drowned when the dam was dy-
namited, making a second man to lose
his life as the result of the flood.
