RIVER BREAKING
ONLY IN SPOTS
Water Is Moving at Arsenal Island,
But Little Change Between
the Bridges.

The warm weather of the last
few days failed to break the ice
covering on the Mississippi be-
tween the Rock Island and Cres-
cent bridges, but succeeded in
breaking the coat above the govern
ment bridge.
The water is moving in the vi
cinity OF Rock Island near the
water works, bat below the govern
ment bridge there are only spots
of broken ice.
Last night the water rose to 81
feet, but this morning fell to AS
feet, but this is a rise Of 2 of a
foot over the water stage OF yester-
day morning. There was no dam
age done by any ice gorge along
the Mississippi in this section, al
though on smaller streams reports
have been received that floods fol-
lowed.
The river closed here for the
first time, according to the records

tendent, at noon Jan. 1.
