The two-cent rate is subject of

conceivable how, if the rate is con-

I'm view of the thorough investiga-

Part OF Neilqh Dam GIVES Away.
Neigh, NeD., Marcn S.-5pecial to
! The News: Yesterday morning ut
about 8 80 forty feet on the north end
OF the concrete dam at this place was
washed away. The deep snow banks
along the river had formed into great
cakes of ice and when once entered
! the main channel there was no way of
stopping them. Some of these, four
! feet in thickness, took away portion
of the apron Saturday evening. These
huge masses of ice continually pass

crete, piling and heavy timbers, and
finally they gave away at the above
hour.
A large force of men and teams
worked all day yesterday and greater
part of the night in preventing the Elk

In an interview Mr.. Gilman stated
! that II was a severe loss to him at
this time of the year, and estimates
that the damage, If it could be re-
paired at once, would not exceed
| $4,000. He also states that his 100
horse power gasoline engine will run
| the mill and furnish lights for the
business section of Neigh, thus pre-
venting an entire closing down of the
plant If the north concrete pier can
be saved and no more damage to the
south portion of the apron be done,
Mr.. Gilman says it will not take long
to make the required repairs, but esti-
mates this at about three months on
account of the condition of the wea.

The pumping plant that furnishes
water for the city will be put out of
commission until the break is mended,
but the city pumping station was at
once steamed up and is furnishing the
necessary supply.
