Ice Breaks Up
With a grinding roar the Ice in
the Grande Rondo river broke loose
last week and tore down the channel
pushing everything ahead of it or
out on the bank. When the tide
passed It left a high wall of ice blocks
mortised together with wet, dirty
snow, according to an Item from
Promise. Ore,, published in the Ore
gon Journal. There had been a break
ing loose up river and as the liber
ated Ice rushed down It tore every-:
thing loose from bank to bank, and
gathered newly released material as
It went. It reminded one of a line
of battleshlpB, in Its Irresistibility, j
As the tide arose It pushed the ice
and snow out on the bank, a sloping
bar, or against a cliff. When it re
ceded it left a wall on each bank
varying from a few to a dozen feet'
high. A strip of gravel was left be
tween the wall and the river. This
newly washed riverbed furnlBhed an
interesting place for exploration. A
few fish were left stranded and hun
dreds probably were caught lh tha
wall. Hundreds of crawfish, some
minus a pincer but nearly all abH
to travel toward the water, were left
along -the banks. All up and down
the canyon the Ice barked trees high
on their trunks. Tills will show fish
ermen next summer what the Grande
Ronde can do when it goes on a
rampage.
