Flood Damage Near sehafer.

Schafer.-The Missouri river was
rising for several days and when the
Ice went out had reached the highest
stage in ten years.
A period of unusually warm weather,
accompanied by chinook winds pre-
vailed for fortnight. This, following
very mild winter in northwestern
North Dakota and eastern Montana,
caused a rapid melting of the snow
and a sudden breaking up of the river.
An ice gorge resulted extending from
the mouth Of the Yellowstone for thirty
miles around the Big Bend. The flood
waters have been damned back and
the bottoms filled from hill to hill.
Considerable property was carried
away. One homesteader awoke in the
night to find the river about his bed
and his cattle drowned in the stable.
He escaped by clinging to one of the
horses. The cables along which the
many ferries between Mckenzie coun-
ty and the surrounding counties are
run, were carried off and telephone
connection severed, leaving this section
without any means of communication
with the outer world.

Wahpeton Sees New Road.

Wahpeton.-It is rumored in railroad
circles that plans on the line projected
by the Great Northern from Fargo to
Minot have been hung up until the
company can run a survey from this
city to Minot. If the road should go
through it would furnish an outlet for
millions Of bushels Of grain from a ter
ritory in which the 500 has had no
competition.
The new road would leave Richland
county at or near Coburn, and pass
across the main line Of the Northern
Pacific at Saborn and enter north
east Stutsman. passing through Ed
monds and cutting diagonally across
Wells. From there it would either en-
ter southwestern McHenry county or
swing south into Minot..
Taking this route the Great Nor.
thern would enter more 500 territory
than it would If started from Fargo
and at the same time would have a
more direct route to the twin cities.

MISSOURI RIVER MAY BE USED

MANY STATES.

Would Furnish Cheapest Way TO
Market Grain for Export to

acknowledgement Of this city
are interested in the work being done
by tho business men of Ft. Pierre and
Pierre, s. D., to develop river traffic on
the Missouri. With the immense de-
posts Of coal on land adjoining the
river North Dakota ought to be able
to supply very cheap fuel Of good
quality to the territory along the
route.
G. e. Deland, who has had charge
Of the river part Of the work, said this
investigations had brought out the
possibilities Of the carrying business
on the Missouri with proper develop
ment. The river at the head of navi-
cation would be the nearest water port
by hundreds of miles for the grain
traffic of the Canadian northwest, as
well as for Montana and the Dakotas.
The system Of barges being constructed
at st. Louis for river carrying trade
shows the practicability of carrying
large corgoes of bulky freight on the
Missouri river. Mr.. DeLand predicted
that the day will come when the grain
carrying trade Of the northwest will be
down the Missouri to the gulf, as the
cheapest way to the markets of the
world, either in Europe or Asia.
P. F. Mcclure. who has been inves-
tigating the coal proposition in con-
nection with the matter of water
transportation, has collected data
which are sources of wonder to
those who have looked as a small pro-
position. He has gone into the matter
far enough to find that the coal of
the Dakotas is to play large part in
the fuel problem of the country. Mr..
Mcclure says:
"Lignite can be machine mined by
contract labor on a large scale at a
maximum cost Of 60 cents a ton. I
venture to predict that there will be
very little Pennsylvania coal sold in
these states three years from now.
We are laying the foundation for,
making the Dakotas the foremost
fuel-producing states in the union"
The construction of craft of pro-
portions to handle traffic along the
river would cost approximately $12,-
900, and there is no question longer
as to the raising Of funds at Pierre and
at Fort Pierre to construct one or
more such boats. A company will be
organized at an early date, and con-
struction work will be commenced
uext fall.

Graphic Description OF Damages Done
by Overflow At Mandan.
Bismarck.-The high water caused
oy the breaking up Of the ice in the
Missouri river has subsidized and all
danger from overflow is passed. It
was costly overflow and it will be
some time before all damages are re-
paired.
The Northern Pacific was a heavy
sufferer by the flood and it has q
large force Of men at work repairing
the track.
The damages began about one fourth
OF mile from the west end Of the
bridge. where the waters only washed
over the track for distance Of 100
rods without damaging it to any ex-
tent
A little further on the ice Jam
struck the grade with full force and
swept 1t clear of ties and rails for a
distance Of two miles. The rails and
ties were carried Off the road bed and
are lying alongside of the embank-
ment.

rails, from five to ten feet high. This
ice has to be blasted by dynamite and
then broken up with sledge hammers,
Ice picks and pick axes.
There are two miles of telephone
and telegraph wires destroyed. The
wires are wound around cakes Of ice
and logs and the poles are scattered
in every direction and those not brok-
en- off are bent in every direction.
On the north side of the grade the
ice is piled up, cake upon cake, as
far as the eye can reach in every di-
rection. Some places it looks to be
twenty-five feet in height. 1t will be
many weeks before this ice disap-
pears as it has been left stranded on
the bottom land.
In Mandan proper there was no
damage by water at any time, though
at one time it was feared that the
gate in the dyke would give way, but
good work on the part of the citizens
prevented this. The water was two
feet above the street level behind the
dyke along the Heart river.

summer on Thursday afternoon, George
Devolde, who has been living here with
his son, John Devolde, was found dead
in the wagon. Mr.. Devolde, who was
81 years of age, was seated beside his
daughter in-law and was thought to be
as well as usual until she turned to
speak to him and discovered he was
dead.
