The btorm has caused the Kogue river. Hear creek and other streams of the county to greatly rise, and has duim no harm in the city. The rain of yesterday and at times today was accompanied by slight flurries of snow. Stub a flurry occurred about 2 o'clock this afternoon.

After that hour there was heavy rainfall until about noon during which much more rain fell. The storm since Saturday night and especially the rainfall of this morning and forenoon, flooded the street gutters of the city, and caused Hear creek, the Rogue river and other streams to rise fast. ,i v.- No damage was done in the city altho the storm sewers wen great ly taxed at times, according to the city street department nt noon.
