PROBE REPORTS.
ARE ACCEPTED
House Avoids Fight Over
Highway Commission
Reports

An expected battle over the reports
of the majority and minority mem
bers of the House Highways Com
mission investigating committee
dwindled into few rumblings of
discomfort, so far as the record
shows, in the House Of Represen-
tatives yesterday afternoon.
Instead of a contest for the adop-
tion of one of the two reports, an
informal agreement between leaders
was carried out under which no ac-
tion at all was to be taken on either
of the reports.
The galleries were crowded with
spectators, expecting to see an ora
torical display, when Rep. Stretch
of Bottineau county, one Of the
League leaders, moved that the Sc
lect committee named to investigate
the Highway Commission be dis
charged, adding that since the evil
dence and both reports of the ma
jority and minority members of the
committee were printed in the Jour
nal, the people of the state could be
the judges, and thanked the commit
tee, both Nonpartisans and lndepend-
ents, for their work.
Previously the resolution appr0-
priating $4,Ol1.O0 to pay for the
three weeks investigation was voted
by the House, II to 81. Some heat
ed objections were raised by mem.
bers explaining their vote.

Yankton, S. d., March 6.-The ice
gorge in the Missouri River above
Niobrara, NebA was still holding this
morning, acc ording to telephone ad-
vices received here and the jam now
extends from a point just west of
the month of the Niobrara River up
to Greenwood, thirty miles above
that. Below the jam the river is
running open with occasional floes.
All bottom land above the gorge
is under from four to eight feet Of
water on both sides of the river and
the residents have been driven to
higher ground. On the wide Ne
braska bottom above Niobrara, about
twenty families have abandoned their
homes and belongings escaping in
boats in many instances. The water
is up to the railroad tracks at Ponca
Creek, this side of Verdel, Neb., ac
cording to reports, but the line is
still open.
Niobrara is about fifty miles above
Yankton and the river is apparently
open for that distance as we'll as
