CLOGS UP NIAGARA FALLS
For Second Time in History Cataract
Was Mute.

Buffalo, N. Y, April 1.-THE voice
of Niagara was mute to-day for the sec
ond time in the memory of man. The
first time was late in February, wher
following a severe northerly blow, the
falls ran dry. Now, following a severe
Southwestern, the river is frozen solid
from bank to bank.
Unprecedented weather has brought
about unprecedented conditions. On
Wednesday of last week, the worst gale
of the season and the most violent in
the history of the Weather Bureau for
April was recorded, and following the
lakes and the channel of the Niagara
! left ruin in its wake. The solid ice
| fields of Lake Erie were churned from
end to end and piled in huge conglom-
crate mass at the lower end of the lake.
At Niagara Falls there had been a
heavy ice bridge in the pool below the
CdJdl dCU SllItO lItG VI NIIlCl. Cn-
der the impact Of the mass of ice from
the lake above and the added floods
brought down by the wind, the bridge
gave way and began to surge down the
rapids. But before it could win free
dom in the ample waters of Lake On
tario, the wind shifted again to the
north. Instantly the moving foes pack
ed at the mouth of the river. Each in
stant of cold congealed the pack more
solidly and each hour brought added
pressure from above
Unable to escape by its natural chan
nels, the level of the river rose by leaps
and bounds. The highest flood level re-
corded from previous years is twenty
eight feet above the normal. Friday
night the river was forty feet above nor
NAL.
Water poured over the window sills
of the power house of the Ontario Pow |
er Company and flooded the machines.
The tracks of the great gorge route were
covered from the lower steel arch bridge
to Lewiston.
Conservative estimates place the dam
age at 81, ,000,000 All day long con-
slant stream of visitors poured down the
railway tracks, the trolley tracks, pack
ed the trains and the cars and even rode
and walked across country to see a sight
that is not likely to repeat itself with
the present generation. Under bril-
liant sun the river lay white and glis-
tening to the horizon.
All estimates of ultimate damage are
by what the weather may
