Ice Jam BreaksL Loose,
Threatens 10 Flood
New Montana Area
BY the Associated Press

MILES CITY, Mont, Mar. 81
A huge ice dam broke up suddenly
10 miles northeast of here today,
after spilling a Yellowstone River
flood over an estimated 1,100 acres
of farm land last night. The ice
cakes crunched downstream where
another jam threatens to flood out
some 800 farmers and townspeople.
Deputy Sheriff Dale Mavity re-
ported from Fairview, one of five
tiny northeastern Montana COM
munities facing their worst flood
threat in recent years, that ice was
packed solidly for more than 20
miles from the rivers juncture with
the Missouri, about 10 miles south of
there.
"If that additional ice causes a
dam in the lower Yellowstone VAL
ley" Mr.. Mavity said, "it1l spill
water over this area for miles
around"
Mr.. Mavity reported hundreds of
farm families in the area were
preparing to fee on a minutes
notice.
The ice block near Miles City
foded IL farms in the so-called
kinsey Project last night, washed
out a mile and a half of Northern
Pacific Railway tracks and rose to
within two feet of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul Railway bridge
over the rampaging Yellowstone
about Is miles northeast of Miles
City. -.
Residents reported the water rose
about three feet in two hours last
night, and spread debris over the
rich farm area.
Meanwhile, people in the towns of
Burns, Savage, Crane, Newton,
Ridgelawn. Fairview, and Dore, on
the North Dakota border, were hop
ing Army bombing planes would
break up the ice pack, blocked by
the solidly-frozen Missouri River.
1t was reported earlier that efforts
would be made to secure the bomb
ers, through the Army Engineer
Corps office at Fort Peck, but no
official word had been announced up
to noon today.
