FIRST ICE JAM PUTS

While 1t might be considered sensa-
ticnal. In some localities. to chronicle
the wrecking of a railroad bridge over
a large river. the incident has become
so common here as to get out OF the
novelty class.
Although carrying extensive passen-

river bridge here is just a temporary
affair, which has been put out of use

when the ice comes DOWN from the
northern break; third, from the drift

The structure can be rebuilt in from
three to five days. with pile drivers
starting from each side and working
to the center. For some reason the
company seems to think this method is
more economical than the installation
of Il substantial, permanent bridge.

operated across the structure right UP

juries or deaths have resulted.
Mitchell. S.. D., April Central South
Dakota is in the most serious condition
from spring floods today that it mas
been for the past six years. Freshets all
ready have carried away many bridges
on the smaller streams. In Dawson
county alone five bridges have gone out
and several horses have been drowned.
The water in the James river, near
Mitchell, is close to the tops of the rail
road bridges and the overflow is over
a mile in width. Because of the looSened
earth under the tracks all trains are
on a slow running schedule.
