The last gorge in the river
here Sunday afternoon
and now the ice is practically all
gone. The river fell three feet
the first day the gorge was brok-
en-. The water was SO high across
the river from Washbalrn that it
formed the lowlands into an
island Much Of this land is
land that will not be
dry enough to. cultivate this year
In some places the current has
changed from one side Of the
to the other since the ice
started to move. It is seldom
that the ice remains so long
after once being broken.
