All night long the hundreds ' of men
working along the Platte river la an at
tempt to break up the Ice gorges fired
big charges of dynamite, but made little
progress In relieving the flood situation.
At one point near Ashland the river' has
flowed over an area covering about thirty
square miles of bottom land and many
farmers have been forced to flee to the
hills.
Several bridges have been either washed
out or been so weakened that they are un-
fe. Railroad trains on three different
lines have been forced to detour many
trains and abandon others entirely. With
the melting of the snow In the hills and
at the headwaters of tue Platte river,
there is evidence ef an unprecedented
flood condition around the mouth of the
river, which has Its confluence with the
Missouri near that point. All the low
lands in this vicinity already are under
water.
