Onlookers were stark d to see the ico floes as water gushed thru the canals for the first time and trickled into the rservoir which eventually will form Nebras ka's largest lake. The ice cakes piled up in minia ture dams, throttling the stream un til it could rise high enough to pass ihem; clogging gates and narrow passages until the heat of the sun melted them away. Since the first bad jam for ice has moved more free ly, alho it still snags on rougher ..-pets in the canal bottom, holding up iho water until enough pressure is e:tcrtd to move it a v. ay. Lmginjers expect no trouble from the ice cakes as soon as the canals I arc running at their capacity 14-foot 1 depth. By that time streams will . be moving at sufficient speed to pre vent serious steppage. j Mr. and Mrs. Lennie Lau were in I Lincoln last Wednesday, where they t were looking after some pre-Christ- mas shopping. ber oomi-anv which has its lie quarters on the Facihc coast, and is ; Friday evening, December Cth, in . , , . i. i . i. . ; . : 1. 1 1 'Tli a pnniTl f i- i arranging to move me iamny mere iin.ii ifi-ani" wmi. earlv in January.
