Flood Damage and Ice Gorge Threaten Big Horn Area
Flooding last Saturday raised river levels in the Big Horn after an ice gorge three miles below town released ice blocks that overran the river bed. The power house flooded, farms owned by D. C. Henry and Guy Shipman were inundated, stock losses occurred, and the river threatened to change its course. Efforts with dynamite and en‑sured protection by a cofferdam reduced damage, but removal of the old irrigation dam below town is urged to prevent future incidents.
