THE BUSINESS PART AN ISLAND, In Case the Mass Breaks Up and Floods the Alleshenj Tallej. XEWST XOTZS FEOJI XEARBI TOWXS rtrrnii tei euhamto tite diefatcim Takkek, Feb. IS. Various reports have appeared as to the ice gorge situation here. 2sonc have overdrawn the situation. A solid mss of iee, packed to the bottom for ten or more miles in an unbroken stretch, 5n many places 20 or more feet thick, is something unknown to our oldest inhabit ant. Along Eiver avenue's entire length the ice is jjorged from the bottom of the river to the top of the bank, and even to the foundations of many buildings. It is, therefore, apparent to experienced river men what an additional amount of rise will be necessary to move it. Xo current is here to assist the removal by blasting with explosives. The extreme north end of what is known as ''The I'lats" is lower than in the main or central part, and even somewhat lower at the bae of the hill, so -in a flood the business section is an island. Xo way has T)een provided to prevent the overflows irom surrounding this central higher ground. As in the entire history of Parker she has been the target of both fire and flood, many now lear the completion or this bistort- bv the total destruction of what is know n"ns The Fiats." At this writing porses are forming In the Clarion river, which empties into the Alle phenv one mile above heie. As the Clarion riverisa narrow and deep stieam itgener allv breaks up first. This is wneie our first anil sieatest danger lies. The bridge at this place is SCO feet Ion and for five miles below the ai erase width of the liver is about the same. The whole distance is Rorsed from bottom to top. At the water w oilcs the pumps are entirely submersed, but are still Tunning. If no I)reak occurs they can bo kent in motion until the water leaches the fires, but they are nearing this point now. The river fell about 2 feet to-dav. There is no change in the corse. It will take two days' Rood rain totaitit. The weather is lossy, wnn indi cation of rain. BTJNKOIHG A PAINT INVEKTOB. Tl:o Allr-red Victim Secure the Arrest of Three Men for Conspiracy.
