NEW YORK. April 9--Cold weather checked the Easter floods in Northern New York. Vermont, New Hampshire and the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
 High temperatures melted the snow and started ice down the rivers and heavy rains over the weekend, sent many streams out of their banks, disrupting rail traffic and other communication systems.
 Two men were killed when the raging Chaudiele River swept a wagon off bridge at Quebec. Two members of the Canadian National Railway passenger train were drowned when an engine and baggage car dropped through a bridge near Quebec.
 Several bridges were carried away in Vermont.

FOUR PARTIES WILL WORK IN
 THIS DISTRICT
Extensive Survey Program Is Announced by Guerin
 for This Season

To establish official control points for the timber survey crews working under the direc- tion of Engineer Don Meldrum in this vicinity and near Ket- chikan. four survey parties will be put in the field in the near future by the Bureau of U. s. Surveys, it was announced today by E. c. Guerin, cadastral en- gineer in charge of Public Survey forces in Alaska It is the aim of the Pubic Survey bureau, he said, to cooperate with and facilitate the work of the timber cruising parties in every way possible.
 The areas to be surveyed are on the west coast of Admiralty Island and the western side of Reyillagagedo Island Thirty-two men will be employed in the work. eight to each party. On Admiralty Island there are more than B township divisions to be made and some subdivision work will also be done.
 Three parties will work on Ad- miralty Island. covering it from Hawk Inlet to Point Gardner, and probably crossing the island from Mitchell Bay back to Mole River.
 Charles B. Seelys will have charge of the Hawk Inlet crew and will take the field in about 2 week or ten, days. Dan P. Mumbrue will establish base camp in Mitchell Bay and have charge of the party in that dis trict. Floyd G. Betts, who has been assigned here from the Olympia office. will take q crew into the Whitewater Bay section and work from there. Fred Dahl quist will conduct the surveys in the Ketchikan district.
 It is the plan to keep the sur veys so advanced that the timber men under MT Medium can tie in their own surveys of pulp tim Der areas to the lines established by the official parties.
