The warm and heavy rain of Sunday and Sunday night melted considerable snow from the lower hills and raised the river to quite a respectable notch, higher than it had been thus far this season. Old residents who saw the flood of '00, however, view it with contempt. In that historic year the water ran within five or six feet of the bridge and the river had an almost uniform grade from the White Rocks along the entire town frontage, tliu rapids below the dam being altogether invisible and the dam self being nil. Thore have been four "big waters" since the country was neiueu oy wnue people over ou years ago; one in 1S52, one in 18U2, oue in 1881 and tho last in 1800.

Kerley's grocery store on Friday night. The would-be burglar attempted to enter the building by the back do.r which was secured by a bolt and also by the thumb catch of the lock. The thief whittled a hole in one of door panels with a pocket knife, large enough to admit his hand. He was then able to reach inside and slip the bolt but could not reach the catch and so was unable to 0wn the door. Mr. Kerley feels certain that be knows the identity of the offender and thinks it remarkably poor judgment on his part to take so many chances (or a few dollar worth of groceries.

Griffith, the hypnotist, entertained large audiences each evening ol last weak at the opera house. His performance were intensely interesting and amusing. Many doubt the genuineness of Ids claims hut anyone who has ever tried to drill an unaccustomed crowd for any act on the stage would hardly deny him some sort of an influence over his subjects. His Indian war dunce, side show "spiel ers," fishing act and the Hokey-Pokey corn sslve scone would take weeks of drill to produce. On Saturday night a number of ladies went on the stsge to test the hypnotic influence. The lanky, long haired individual who cast the audience so many times into paroxysms was taken Into the show by the pro fessor, who says the young man is the best hypnotic subject he has ever seen. He is certainly either a remarkablo sub ject or the best comedy actor who has been seen on the Grants Pass stage for many a day. ColvlJ Brothers In Portland. Representative George W.

The cold weather was causing some scarcitv in the water supply at that time but only temporarily and the milder state of tue weather ainoe then has caused a ooploua flow. Tho Snow Btorin. It is reported that the storm which afllicted us last week was the worst this county ha seen in twenty years. On the other hand, we are told that there was a worse storm about twelve veara ago when many caMle were lost, Tak ing both statement into consideration. it is likely this is one of tbeseyerest storm known In eastern Oregon. If such were tbe case, we will say that there is no state in tbe east or middle west that does not have several worse storms every winter. People who have wrestled in eastern winter with north west winds at 32 degrees below sera or have shaken with the able-bodied and neyer-tiring bliuard, will deem this so called "big storm" as one of the meek est and mildest mannered of lophyr.
