This Part of Eiver.
Chamberlain, S. D., May 10. For
the first time in three years the Mis
souri river has carried away 16 vents
in the trestle work of the Milwaukee
river bridge here. The break is on
Investments111? est sIde of the river and tne
Iiauwuy company is using itucks and
automobiles to transfer passengers
anu naggage across the bridge, fur
ther down the river, thus completing
connections between Chamberlain
and Oaeoma.
The Missouri has risen rapidly in
the last two days, and early this
mornin the guage showed a height
of 13 feet, 10 feet above normal. At
9 o'clock another six inches had been
added. The river is filled with drift
wood and logs, and it was this debris,
pounding against the trestles that
broke the bridge.
l wo feet of snow at the head
waters of the Missouri, followed by
exceptionally heavy rains in tribu
tary districts are responsible for the
sudden rise. Flats all along the river
are under water, and at Pierre last
night residents in the lowlands were
forced to abandon their homes.

As the need of the sufferers in the
flood ravaged districts of the south
increase, an appeal has gone out from
the Red Cross for donations of cloth
ing that can be used among the needy
in the stricken districts.
The American Legion Auxiliary of
this city has taken over thf work of
soliciting clothing for the flood suffer
ers and the chamber of commerce
rooms will be open on Friday and Sat
urday afternoons for the reception of
clothing for-men, women or children.
All clothinc donated should be
clean and laundried as the flood suf-l
ferers are not in position to mending
or laundry work in the large refugee
camps of the river districts.
Practical clothing is most needed
and anything that is serviceable and
still in condition to be worn can be
accepted ad sent to the needy who are
gravely i need of this relief.
Those who hae clothing that they
can donate are urged to do so and to
have these brought or sent to the
chamber f commerce rooms on Friday
or Saturday afternoon in order that
they can be dispatched as soon as pos
sible to the stricken areas of the
south.
The Plattsmouth people are urged
to do all that they can to aid in the
relief work of their fellow country
men of the Mississippi valley as the
refugee camps from Kentucky to New
Orleans are filled with thousands of
homeless people of all ages who are
in need of clothing.
