capped general inundation yester-
day as the result of an ice jam,
which formed in the bend of the
Tanana river a short distance below
town. The water rose to a high
level, flooding the government re-
serve first and then spreading to
other parts of town, compelling
numerous families to vacate their
homes hastily. For time there
was reason to believe that the en-

before any great damage resulted,
the jam gave way and the water fell
rapidly, accompanied by an unusually
heavy run Of ice.

the river today state that the barge
was carried into a slough by the
ice and the hope is entertained that
