because the striker will spend his mo-

The ice already has begun to Freak
up and is moving slowly northward In
almost a solid mass A jam started
around the Northern Pacific bridge
last night, but the threatened danger
was removed by the use Of dynamite
today.
The river has risen over 20 feet
from the low water mark of the past
winter and was still going up today
at the rate of about an inch an hour,
according to Sandy Slattery, observer
of the government river guage. Sat-
urday it was rising at the rate of an
inch and one-half an hour.
This morning the guage registered
22.25 feet above zero, as compared
with the low mark last winter of "a
feet above zero. The high water
mark of last spring was SO feet, so
the river has still to rise nearly IA
feet before 1t reaches that level.
The greatest danger is feared from
the ice, which Is unusually heavy this
year, and no great fears are enter
ly occur unless there was a very sud-
den thaw of the heavy SHOWS in the
southern portion of the Red river
