No trouble ves experienced at other points along the Jine. At Casper the river is raising at the rate of one to two inches an hour, and unless the water recedes before tomorrow the approach to the river bridge will be cut off. The ‘loop road” has already been rendered im p: ssable, traffic having been diverted thru the C Y ranch. Reports from the dam state tat the flood water is increasing in v> ume, and is now flowing over the spillway to a depth of almost 5 fe>t. The volume of water impounded in the huge reservoir has an area cov-| ering 23,000 acres. The flood will, in| all probability, be augmented by the melting snows, and if warm weather continues the prediction is made that the bottoms thruout the territory will | be covered.

NORMAL TRAINING WILL BROADEN \Natrona High Takes Advantage of Legislative Provis- ions for Establishment of New Department; Night Classes for Commercial Students we |The installation of a Normal Training Department, and the inaugura-! tion of important changes in the Commercial Department, are fea- | tures that will enter into the curriculum of the Natrona County High School next fall that will tend to broaden the scope of service mate-, rially and advance the standing of the institution another notch on the ledder of progress. Financial-aid for installing teacher trainmg Was provided by the last Legislature, and Casper is one of the few cities of the State to seize the opportunity to establish such a course. Assurance is given that students who pursue this course of study , in the High School will receive credit for this work in the institutions of higher learning. On the other hand, it will be particularly beneficial to students who conclude their stud- jes with graduation from High School ;end who accept positions as instruct | ore in the smaller schools.
