CHECK RIVER EFFECTIVELY
Fro"i Tuesday's Pally.
The Burlington seems to have been
very successful in their battle with
the Missouri river on the Iowa side
of the stream just east of this city.
A large amount of rock-as well as
brush was shipped in by the com
pany to use in the retaining mat in
the rip rap. replacing that part
which was washed out by the break
of the river last week. The resi
dents of that portion of Mills county
report that the conditions at the place
where the break occurred have about
resumed normal and it is now
thought that all danger of serious in
jury is past but the efforts of the
river to cut into the Iowa shore has
made a keen watch necessary by the
railroad and the farmers whose plac
es adjoin the stream.
