EVERY BUILDING IN CELILO, ORE., IN DANGER.
At Narrows Ice Rises as High as Tops of Cliffs and Resembles Huge White Mountains.
The Dalles, Ore., Jan. 21.--Tons upon tons of ice are crashing down upon the government works at Celilo. The ice is piled against the outside wall of the canal on a level with the top on the Oregon side. The whole of the government works is not only jeopardized, but every building as well is in danger of being swept away.
The river is reported to have risen 30 feet at Celilo and continues to rise rapidly. At the narrows the ice rose as high as the tops of the cliffs and has the appearance of huge white mountains.
Weather forecaster Brooks says the barometer was lower yesterday than at any time for the past.
