LITTLE TO FEAR FROM FLOODS
Cold Nights Keep Streams of State
Below Danger Point.
RAILROADS REPORT NO DANGER
Indications Are that Ice May Now
Go Out without Putting the
Lowhnd DweIers in
Any Fear.

Railroad officials are optimistic over the
flood situation and are Of the opinion
that in the event the present mild weather
continues a few days longer. the worst
will be over so far as Nebraska is con-
cerned. and that the resulting damage
will not be more than the minimum.
Reports received at all OF the railroad
offices from which lines TO the north
west and south are operated from this
city. indicate that there has been little
rise in the Nebraska streams during the
last twenty-four hours and that generally
conditions are more favorable.
The Northwestern had fears Of the
Cheyenne river OVERLOOKING its banks
and carrying away the bridge at Oral.
near the Black Hills. but the ice broke
up and Is now flowing out without doing
any damage. In the northern part Of Ne
braska the Niobrara and Elkhorn rivers
are bank full Of water, the Ice remaining
intact. However. by reason Of the warm
weather, it is becoming honeycombed
and is expected to break up and run out
within the next forty-eight hours. unac-
companied by any unusually high water.
Platte River Near Flood stage.
Along the Union Pacific as far west as
flood stage. At Valley 1t has overflowed
its banks and has spread out over the
lowlands west OF town, but is not doing
any damage. West Of Fremont for q few
miles the water continues to spread over
the bottoms, but is no higher. West from
Central City the ice still holds firm. but
is covered with water. The Loup river is
bank full of water, but the ice con-
tinues firm. though becoming consider
ably honeycombed.
The Burlington is In the best condition
in the last ten days. Through Nebraska
territory most Of the streams have COM
menced to fall and in the south part Of
the state they are rapidly becoming clear
''of ice. From Ashland to La Platte the
Platte river is very high, but has not
reached the tracks or the bridges.
The Missouri Pacific is getting along In
good shape with its Nebraska lines. but
is having some trouble getting through
Kansas and into ST. Joseph and Kansas
City, where the water Is reported to be
unusually high. caused chiefly by the
melting OF the heavy fall of snow OF last
Sunday.
The high water is not interfering with
the train service in or out Of Omaha
Trains are practically all on time.
No Danger In Iowa.

Great Western, with headquarters at
Clarinda, Ia, is in town and scouts the
idea Of floods through central Iowa He
says the snow is rapidly disappearing.
and that while the streams are high. few
Of them are expected to overflow their
banks. He says that the Des Moines.
Iowa and Cedar rivers are breaking up
and that the Ice is running out.
