Packed Ice Causes Considerable Rise
In the River, which Causes
Alarm Among the
River Men.
BREAK WITH A RUSH
In Case the Gorge Loosens Suddenly
There will be Much Damage
to seamers on
shore.


ST. LOUIS, Jan. 4-The ice gorge
which has formed between jefferson
Barracks and Crystal City was still
holding last night, and the false rise
occasioned reached 200 feet on the
guage and was still rising. This wa
ter IS a source of great uneasiness to
river men, as its volume may cause
the lower gorge to break with rush
and either leave their craft stranded
Or tear them from their moorlngs.
The cold weather and it's indicated
continuance for today was supiec+
OF much discussion. Some river men
held that it would prove beneficial by
causing the gorge to hold until the
danger was past, others contending
that 1t would merely cause it to hold
long enough to increase the danger.
The river was running slowly here
yesterday, and considerable quantities
OF new Ice, formed after the change in
temperature Sunday, was coming
down and blocking at the gorge. It
is feared that this ice will accumu.
late in sufficient quantities to break
the gorge. The Missouri river and up
per Mississippi river ice packs also
continue to threaten. Should the
gorge at Kansas City or those above
Alton break before the Crystal City
gorge, and the latter gorge hold, the
Ice VIII again pack the harbor here,
and Saturdays conditions, when much
damage was sustained, will be dupli-
Gated or exceeded Even should they
not break until after the lower gorge,
the immense quantities of ice con.
stitute a danger not to be overlooked.

them as To the quality of work being
done in the different rooms of the

The teachers discovered that there

The choruses, the glee clubs, the
