FLOATING ICE IS
NAVIGATOR'S BANE
Ice In the river the past week has
been the cause of much delay In river

on schedule time and It seoins that
It will tuke more than floating lco to
stop them from making dully trips.
The Ice today seoms to be breaking
away considerably and It seems to be
moderating rapidly so that It Is prob
able the river will soon bo cloar for
traff'o again.
