the rate of eight feet day. Tne Off
Gals and engineers were at Cheir wits
end for there was no power to stop the
great tongue of ice creeping over the
land When the glacier came within a
quarter of mile OF the bridge the
river began to attack the ice and saved

brought Gown so much earth in the lie
that the culverts were filled and the
water finally flowed over the tracks,
necessitating a change of location.
Views of dog trains, reindeer sledg-
