ICE BRIDGE GONE
Blue Waters Of Lake ChnmplRih Spark.
ling In the Saushine

Lake Champlain was cleared OF ice
yesterday With .hc usual rapidity and
what were small holes carly In the
day, by night had cprAnd over most
Of the lake. leaving only \ quantity
of ice outside the oreakwater in this
vicinity. Even Burlington harbor was
cleared Of ice by tho wind. The tee
still holds through the islands and in
some OF the bays. but the broad lake
is open until next winter Two factors
within the past week put the ice. which
a few days ago was solid In ouch shape
that II went quickly. One was the rain
which "rotted" II and the other was
the rising water which tore tho Ice
away from tho shores This is about
the average time Cor tho breaking up
Of the lake.
Danger Of serious damage from high
water is now believed to be past as
after the ice Is out the water sweeps
out pretty rapidly. Much concern has
been expressed along tho lake front
this year for fear the high water would
sweep into the lumber yards and do
much damage. The water yesterday
was six feet and nine inches above low
water mark. which IL higher by six
inches than II was at any time last
year It Ia expected that the water
will rise a few inches higher but not
enough to cause much trouble now
In 1913 the water rose to eight feet
and two inches above low water mark.
and the highest mark recorded was in
1859 when the mark of nine feet and
four inches was reached. The lake peo-
pie feel so confident now that no trou-
BILE will be experienced that the pre-
cautions which had been begun now
for the most part have been dropped.
For instance. It IL not deemed necessary
this year to build q platform on the
wharf OF the Champlain Transporta-
ton company. While q north wind
might drive the water In SO as to flood
the docks for a day or SO. It lis not be-
lisved there will be any trouble.
