ESTWATE GE AN | MSLOMOTONS Engineers Will Continue Bombing of Gorge in Missouri River. By the Associated Press. BISMARCK, N. Dak, March 28— | Army engineers in charge of efforts to break the ice gorge in ‘the Missouri River south of here today estimated that 50,000,000 tons of ice are obstructing the flow of water. The jam was es- timated to be 20 miles in length. While gauge readings here indicated | that the high-water mark of the flood | £2ason had been passed, downstream | the level was higher than at any other | time since the gorge formed. | Maj. G. R. Young, in charge of | operations, who estimated the weight | of the ice, arranged to make another survey flight over the ice field with a view to dtermining the most effective | methods of continuing dynamiting. Six Planes Aid in Work. | ‘Three Army observation planes and three heavy bombing planes are here to assist in the work of disintegrating the huge jam. | Wednesday 1,000 pounds of dynamite was exploded and Army officials de- clared that operations must be con- tinued. Although the great: weight of water pressing down on the gorge is slowly breaking it up, they said. unless the work is speeded the flow of water | may be blocked for days. | ‘Water Level Fluctuates. | Progress was hindered by fluctuations in the water level, resulting from a | sories of ice dams, which Maj. Young | #1id formed on the river bed. Buckling | under high pressure, huge cakes of ice were pushed into the bed of the stream, | forming water-tight dams, he said. | ‘When one of these obstructions breaks the level upstream drops, while down- stream the level rises. Lowlands in this vicinity remained inundated as the level continued above the 15.2-foot flood . _The crest of 18.5 feet wds: reached Wednesday. P T SOCIETY Bradbury.
