Chippewa Valley Is in No Immediate Danger of a Flood.
Chippewa Falls, Wis., Dec. 5.-The water has receded 37 inches and many of the buildings lately under the flood are commencing to reappear. Some of them have been crushed in by the ice. A few business men are moving back, although the majority will remain at their present locations and take no chances. The icepack has ceased to grow, the anchor ice being carried under the gorge by the swift current of the river. If present conditions continue the ice will gradually wear away. Everybody is feeling not only relieved, but very sanguine over the outlook.
Colonel Jones went down the branch line of the Milwaukee and St. Paul road yesterday, going along the banks of the river for several miles on a further investigation of the gorge. He believes there is nothing to be done, and rather disapproves the use of dynamite or other explosives as useless or unnecessary work.
The worst is undoubtedly over. The people of the valley are becoming acquainted with that fact, and consequently feel much relieved.
