THE ICE MOVES OFF
Willi the Highest Water Known. SigiiM
of Big Jain Above. - The Summer
Kxudus Bown River.
At 9:30 p. m., May 24, the peo
ple in town were treated to the
sight of the ice getting ready to
leave. It moved barely 150 feet
—just sufficient to be called a break
up. The following day it moved
again, but jammed in the bend four
miles below. At 3 o’clock the next
morning it started for good and
rapidly decreased the visible sup
ply of ice. The river at the time
of breakup and at present is higher
than at any previous breakup in
years and, from the present stage of
high water and the enormous quan
tities of snow still in the mount
ains, a number look for a repitition
of the scenes enacted in the spring
of '98, when six feet of water cov
ered the entire townsite.
The Cleanup On 9 l. M.
The cleanup on 9 Little Minook
is still under way and will not be
finished for a month yet. The re
turns have been satisfactory, con
sidering the fact that most of the
ground had been worked over here
tofore.
The beach is lined with boats,
the owners of which are getting
ready for the summer exodus. Fall
will see them all back again to
work on their claims, taking out
pay to replace that which they lost
in wild goose chasing in summer.
After all, experience is the best
teacher; but it is surprising to see
the same men at it—vear after vear.
