Doors of houses stood ajar or banged listlessly to and fro—eyi- dence of desertion.

THREATENED ICE BREAKUP IS AVERTED Shore Water at Sanish Freezes —Slight Further Rise Is Expected Here Freezing of shore water in the Missouri river at Sanish last night prevented a threatened breakup of the ice sheet there as the flood wa- ters, which reached a crest of nine feet Thursday morning, dropped a foot in tha next 12 hours. ° The Big Muddy at Bismarck was reported ‘one foot higher than yes- terday at this time, the total rise in the past three days having been three feet. Further rise is expect- ed but it will not be more than a foot or two, according to O. W. Rob- erts, federal meteorologist. Riprapping Not Affected Construction of riprapping along the high banks of the Missouri at Washburn for the purpose of pre- venting the collection of silt and changes in the main channel at the Northern é Pacific and Memorial Highway bridges at Bismarck, has not been threatened although the federal engineers there were forced to remove a huge pile-driver from the ice sheet. The river rose 2." feet at Wash- burn during the night, making the total rise at that point 5.4 feet. The probable total rise at Wash- burn and Bismarck will be between five and six feet, according to Mr, Roberts.
