Ice continues to obstruct the channels
for many miles below this city, ana,
while the tugboats and propeller steam
ers are able to move through 1t. navfga-
ton. as far as sailing vessels or gaso-
line power craft is concerned. is out OF the
question. The river was full Of drifting
ice as far up or down the stream as could
be seen from a wharf in Alexandra, ana
in the harbor here the snow which fell
Friday and Friday night is lying on the
surface of the water unmelted.
1t is generally believed by the weather
wise in boating circles that thaw Is al

High Ice at Chain Bridge.

The ice about the Chain bridge is re-
ported to be piled from ten to fifteen
feet high. and thick ice exists all along
the upper river. and in these ice masses
coming down the river with a heavy cur
rent lies danger. One good effect of a
current will be that the rushing water
will take down the ice now drifting with

Looking for high Water.

While there are no indications of a cur
rent, rivermen expect one, and how severe
it will be depends upon weather condi-
tons. If the snow on the mountains
melts gradually there is little danger Of
it being heavy and bringing down much
ice with it. but should there be q rain OF
about twelve hours duration to cause
the quick melting of the SHOWS and the
breaking up OF the ice, it will come down
with a rush and will menace the safety
of anything lying at the Georgetown
wharves. AS a matter of precantion. L.
f. Smoot and the Columbia Granite and
Dredging Company yesterday had a num-
Der of dredging machines. holsters and
lighters at Georgetown brought around
to the Eastern branch and laid up where
they will be safe should a freshet come.
