ROCK ISLAND
GORGE BROKE
Sunday and Relieved River Sit
uation Considerably at This
Point. CIoverport Ferry Com.
pany Fortunate in Saving Its
River Property. Pate and Nc
Kahn Grateful.

For the first time in six weeks the
Ohio river is open at this point. Satur-
day morning at ais O'Clock, the ice
broke here and so great was the crash,
that the inhabitants of the river front
were awakened by the unearthly noise
which sounded as if houses were falling
on top of one another.
From that time until Sunday after
noon the ice passed at the rate OF
seven or eight miles an hour
At Rock Island, which is below here
where the river is very narrow and piled
up with rocks, the ice became gorged SO
that the river rose 20 feet on Saturday.
After the gorge broke, Sunday after
noon about three o'clock, the ice began
moving again and moved all night with
the river rising foot an hour. The peo-
pie whose homes we're on the river front
in the East end began moving out at
dark Sunday night, thinking the water
would reach their homes before morning,
but along about midnight the river be-
gan falling. Monday and Tuesday it
Twas comparatively clear of ice.
Mt is stated that when the gorge breaks
at Rising Sun that it will not be as bad
when it reaches this point as the gorge
which has just passed.
Along the shor of this side OF the
river the ice is at least 30 feet deep and
extends $50 yards from the bank. The
shores on the Glover Creek bank are in
practically the same condition and the
river men say it will be late in the spring
before the ice will be completely melted.
Saturday and Sunday nights, cars filed
with coal were stationed on the l.. II &
St. L. bridge so as to steady it and keep
the huge blocks of ice from tearing loose
the frame work.
The Cloverport Ferry Company was
exceptionally fortunate in being able to
save its ferry boat and barges. Nearly
every ferry company on the river has
keuffered in either great or small losses
such as has never been heard OF before.
Practically the only thing lost here
was the oil house and freight house be
longing to Louisville & Evansville Pack
ct Company.
A derrick boat and several barges that
belonged to the Government Dam 40,
passed here Sunday.

Survey of Production and
Needs for Next Winter

Comprehensive plans to prevent a
serious coal famine in 1918 are being
perfected by the fuel administration. II
is hoped to match demand with supply
by speeding up production and eliminat-
ing all waste. To accomplish this sur
vey is being carried on TO determine the
prospective output of all mines and the
needs of bituminous and anthracite con-
sumers.
The campaign for clean coal Is still
being pushed by William Potter, ad-
ministrator for Pennsylvania. Some coal
is still reaching Philadelphia UNIT for
consumers. Mr.. Potter said, and reports a
from points upstate indicate some poor
preparation.
But II can be said definitely, the fuel
administration officials announced, that
any operator who ships his coal TO
market up to the standard of prepara

mining companies will not come into
conflict with the law.
