Alaska Road Hit
 By Glacial Flood

KATALLA, Alaska, Sept. 20.-With- out the slightest warning a wall Of water more than twenty feet high came down Carbon Greek, in the Beh- ring River coal fields, last week, com pletely flooding the lower country.
 Men working on the Alaska Anth- racite Railroad beat hasty retreat with their horses to the higher levels. No lives were lost and no damage was done to the railroad. The water sub sided almost as suddenly as it arose.
 For some time Katalla residents were unable 10 solve the cause of the flood, but it was later discovered that big chunk had broken of Martin Glacier, at the head of the creek. With other bergs it had foated to a canyon, making a jam. The water had been held back for several weeks. The melting of the chunks of ice let loose the flood. Carbon Creek is in reality of no mean size.
