WATER AT DAM
STILL RISING.
REPORTS STATE
Level of Reservoir Raised Over
J Two Inches Over Night and
No Recession Is Noted
In River Flow


q Both the river and the water AZ the
Pathfinder dsm were stiu rising to-
fays according 10 reports received by
The Tribune. Yesterdays elevation OF
tho water in the dam measured s.
$500 fect and todsy's elevation was
given as 5.s5s.43 feet. showing a
rise OF over two inches in the rescr-
roir.
The date OF inflow into the reservoir
increased from 1906 second feet on
Thursday to 1890 second feet today.
while the outflow of yesterday was
1890 feet and m-easurements today
placed it at 1880 feet. a condition
which accounts for the rising river
water.
Back water from the Platte river to-
day had surrounded one of the small
camps this side of Mills. west OF Cas-
per. and was creeping toward tho
road which circles the bed OF dry
creek The water is expected to cover
this road tomorrow unless IL starts to
rccede in the meantime.
No reports Of material damage from
food waters in this part OF the state
have been added during the last "a
hours and no alarm is felt over condi-
tons In general.
Water in the Platte river near the
refineries had risen eleven inches in
the past "a hours and at the point OF
measurement is now only six feet and
nine Inches below the plant grades.
The Midwest pumping station which
was built in the river bottoms TO force
water UP o N the north side OF the
river Is in serious condition because OF
the light water. Temporary dikes
for the protection of the pump station
arc being effected by the use OF sand
