ICE BREAKING
UP IN RIVER
SOUTH OF HERE
River Free From MObridge, S.
D., According to Reports
to, Weather Bureau
BREAKS AT BISMARCK
Ice Gorge Forms South of City,
Causing Rise of Two Feet
In the River

S Warm sunshine made vigorous
attack on the ice in the Missouri river
Sunday, with result that the river has
broken at some points and all of the
ice is expected to be floating down.
stream within day or two.
The weather bureau reported today
that the ice broke at Mobridge, S. D.,
at $3.50 o'clock Sunday afternoon and
that the river was filled with floating
ice from there on south. 'g
The ice broke at Bismarck Sunday
afternoon, moved two miles and
stopped, the bureau reported This
gorge below the new vehicular bridge
caused the river to rise two feet but
it has since fallen FOOT and half,
leaving the stage at 9.5 feet.
The river is open at Ft. Clark, near
Washburn. and the ice is expected to
break at Ft. Yates today.
Indications are that there will be no
great flooding of lowlands, because
the river is opening up to the south
first and because Of the breaking Of
the first gorge just below the city.
Several hundred people went to the
river yesterday afternoon expecting
to see a big breakup in the ice. At
1880 in the afternoon there was a
boom, as the ice broke between the
bridges. The ice moved for about 20
minutes and then stopped, the gorge
having formed. Later it moved for a
considerable distance.
March lived up to the adage, "come
in like lion and go out like lamb"
according to the monthly meteorologi-
cal summary of the weather bureau.
On March first the lowest temperature
was 18 below zero; on March 81 it
was % above and the maximum 43
above.
There was trife less sunshine
than usual, the total amount being l.
per cent below normal. The percent
age of possible sunshine was s..
There were 13 clear days, 3 partly
cloudy and Is cloudy. The tempera-
ture of the month averaged So above

the month, but there is an accumulat-
ed excess Of 0.51 since January l. 4.

Wallace, former tax commissioner,
whose case is regarded as test Of

homes were built on order.
Replying to suit instituted by Attor-
ney General Johnson to require him
to pay the full cost of the house built
for him in Bismarck, as shown by
the records Of the Home Building asso-
citation, Mr.. Wallace maintains the
state should deliver the house to him
at price he said was given him by
R. B. Blakemore, former manager of
the association; William Prater, for
mer assistant manager and James
Baker, former superintendent Of con-
struction.
The case may soon be heard in the
Burleigh district court. MIR. Wallace,

cepted by the plaintiff including such
equipments as were accustomed, to be
used in dwelling houses and including
various extras should not exceed the
cost Of $500 to this defendant"
While Mr.. Wallace declares the as
sociation agreed to build the house
for not exceeding $1,000 the total
charge made against him is over SILL

the Home Building Assn. fulfilling
it's promises he conveyed a lot, to
them, that the association has refused
to deliver a contract and that it failed
to furnish electric fixtures agreed up.

Should the claim of Mr.. Wallace be
substantiated in this and other cases

Building association would be near
