The river is now less than 1.3 feet above low water mark, and still falling. - This is the average stage of tho river in the middle of the summer. Boatmen, here do not milium bor a time in 20 years when tho river hns boen so low in December. The causo of this condition lies in the fact that there has been practically no rain in tho mountains this fall. The rninfnl! in tlio'vnjley Ins been unusunlly light and this has not been sufficient to keep the river abovo tho summer stage. Tho weather has been so cold that when.rain fell in the valleys snow fell in the hills nnd mountains. During tho 'exceptionally cold weather of the past few days thoro has been a heavy snowfall in tho mountains of this part of the state. - ...
