THE SAUGEEN’S ANNUAL OUTING Overflows lts Banks and Causes Considerable Damage McGOWAN’S MILL DAM GONE Cellars and Stables Flooded, but Danger is Now All Over On Friday forenoon last, the Mcâ€" Gowan Milling Co. met with a heavy loss by the pressure of ice bursting the cement dam and carrying away about half of it. That morning, Mr. Wm. McGowan and a couple of men began to cut away the ice to relieve the pressure, but were only at work a short time when the crash came and water and ice began to rush over the breach to the water be- low. Mr. Miles Wilson, with his horse and rig, was on the ice at the time, and had to make a dash for safety. For a time there was a wild séene as the great volume of water and masses of ice came tumbling down the stream. DURHAM. OWL. THURSDAY, March 20, 1913. The mild weather on Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday last. caused the snow to melt, 111111 1111 1"1'11 e1 iose rapidly. On Frida 1 111ight there was a heavy Iainfall,i iand on Saturday morning the1 11101111 town citizens began to fea1’ .: 11‘ange1, as the water rose rapidl3 , in the depression through the to\1 11, starting at the Peoples Mills and angling through to the lold foundry, then along Queen street near the end of which the ground falls to“ ards the Saugeen; 1on the west, and towards Camp! Creek to the south-east. 1 1 Shortl3 after seven o’clock, thei ‘water course pro1ided was un- 1 able to take care of the flow, and 1it soon ran across the street, just: {south of The Chronicle office.‘ 1 Above this point, the land depres- '}sion was rapidly filling up, cellars! 11 were being flooded, and danger; gseemed imminent. The Chronicle1 ' set out to seek the cause, and a' representative made his way to: The People’s Mill at the east of 1 1' the town. Here the water was; 3 rushing over the south bank and following the depression already , referred to. Mr. John McGowan i had been expecting an increased 3 water flow, and examined the ,1 dam late at night, and again at t five o’clock in the morning, when .- everything seemed to be all right. a But the scene was changed when a he went out at seven o’clock. In 1 1 1 1 1 the interval between five and seven, 3 large quantity had come down the river, of ice and lodging at the head of the pond in , a jam about eight or ten feet high, : caused the water to rise, and the: ,south bank began to overflow.i ’Mr. McGowan has a stable near: ithe flume, and here his horses' and stock were in water nearly: four feet deep and were rescued; with difficulty. To reach the ani-l mals the top floor above had to be ’ removed so as to get in to untie‘ them, when they were forced to" wade to the dry ground above: ‘About noon the water began to [subside but only for a short 'time, as another lot of ice came down the stream and was again ‘lodged at the head of the dam, when the water rose higher than ‘before. and those who were flood- ;ed saw there was nothing for ithem but to wait in patience till 3the water subsided. ‘ There was a period of great zanxiety and inconvenience. but ithe monetary loss will be com- ;paratively light. A number of ~‘cellars were filled up and left in a bad mess, but above that there was comparatively little damage As the cellars filled, the furnaces, where they had furnaces, were drowned out, and the houses be- came cold. The chief sufferers‘ were. Thos. Nichol, W. Noble, Mrs.. Carwardine, W. D. Connor, Rev”. Mr. McCauslanld, F. Lenahan, J.A. Brown, G. Harbottle, A. Murray. T. Bartman, Mrs. Hillis, T. Wilson. W. H. Traynor, J. J. Smith. and Wu Johnston, all of whom had their! cellars filled to the depth of three or four feet. The foundry, too: was flooded, and the molding shop1 put out of business for two or; three weeks. ‘. The flood as it continued to the south-east passed through the prOperty of the cement company and washed out a considerable stretch of the company‘s railway, which We learn has since been undergoing repairs. The strip affected is :1 narrox’i one, and only once before did the citizens witness a similar overflow. Mill street, near Mc- Gowan’s mill, has the surface pretty well cut away, and there is also a big “ashout at the C. P. R. bridge on Lambton street. The washing out of this latter neces-l sitated the calling to Durham of the C. P. R. bridge gang from Walkerton, and repairs were made late Sunday night. A special was also sent from Owen Sound with timber, and one day coach, so that if necessary, the passengers on the morning train could be trans- ferred at this point, and continue on their journey. As the bridge gang found they could put the structure in shape for traffic in time for the morning train, the special returned to Owen Sound. The roadway at Mill and Lambton streets, will be easily repaired. On Sunday afternoon the town council had a gang at work on the jam, but their efforts to re- move were unsuccessful, and an- other ganig were put to work on Monday. Monday afternoon the ice passed through. and now lies at the tap of the MéGowan Mill- ing Company's dam, and, barring another pile-up from ice coming down the river at the next thaw, all danger of a repetition of the high water of Saturday and Sun- day is at an end.
