The ice on the Mouse River has broken up to a considerable extent. During the recent thaw, the water rose at least two feet, heaving up the ice and cracking it down the middle of the stream and in all directions. Following the thaw, however, came a quiet period and the water dropped back to normal, with the result that the upheaved ice sagged, giving the appearance of a drop in the level of the winter. The increased current has cut away the ice to a considerable extent, and it is unsafe to venture upon at present.

Why We Chose It
Consider this today’s public service announcement. We’re reached that point of the year where venturing on to the river ice is a bad idea. Also, the state mill was sending flour to Minot. It makes us wonder what impact it may have had on the local flour mills of the day.
