PORTENDS A FLOOD.
A Rnsh of Many Waters Expected to
Sweep Down the Rio Bravo.

Information from the headwaters OF
the Rio Grande throughout southern
Colorado, Taos and Rio Arriba counties,
is to the effect that the snow is heavier
than for twenty years past, and every
where people are counting on flood
this spring. Hon. Pedro 1. Jaramillo
has word that it is next to impossible to
travel in Rio Arriba county, and that the
snow on the D. & R. G. track over Cum
bres mountain is fifteen feet in depth.
All trains on the Durango line
OF the narrow gauge are tied up
and it has been showing almost constant
ly for the past ten days. This is also the
case in the Santa Fe mountains, the snow
being from six to eight feet in depth.
Already the extraordinary moisture,
which took the shape of rain in the val
leys and snow in the mountains, has set
all the tributaries of the Rio Grande run.
ming at such rate as to cause alarm.
Not in years has there been so
much water in sight. The whole
country, from the Galisteo region
north to the headwaters Of the Rio Hon
do, Chama and Brazos is thoroughly
soaked with water. AS there is but one
little outlet for this, and that down the
Rio Grande, it may reasonably be ex-
pected that great flood will follow the
warm weather that is sure to come within
the next four weeks. Citizens of the
central and lower Rio Grande valleys may
as well begin to prepare for "a rush OF
many waters"

WASHINGTON NOTES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-In the senate
among the papers presented and referred
were resolutions of the state senate oil
Texas, favoring an amendment to the
constitution limiting the tenure of all
federal officers to a reasonable term ot
years.
The house adopted the conference re.
port on the bill amending the act provid'
ing for the allotment of lands in severalty
to Indians.
The president will in all probability
send in the name of Charles E. Coon, as.
sistant secretary of the treasury. This
statement is made upon authority thai
can not be questioned and the appoint
ment is only held until after the senate't
action on Mr.. Fosters name.
The sundry civil appropriation bill was
approved by the senate committee anc
reported to the senate.
The Republicans generally expressed
themselves as we'll satisfied with the pre-
sident's selection of the secretary of the
treasury and those Democrats who were
seen said they had nothing to say against
it, conceding that the president had 6
right to select advisers, however, in ac'
cord with his policy. Mr.. Foster, they
said, was thorough Republican and g
strong party man, but they had nothing
against him personally.
Representative Mckinley of Ohio said
"Mr. Foster will demonstrate the wisdom
of the presidents selection. He is sound
on finance and an able man."
Representative Thompson of Ohio said
that Mr.. Foster was well equipped for the
place. He was a believer in a sound
monetary system, thoroughly in accord
with the presidents policy, fnancier Of
splendid ability and well versed in public
affairs.

STORM-SWEPT ARIZONA.
Salt River Valley Visited by the Great.
est Flood on Record.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 24.-The Chron-
icle's special from Tombstone, A. t.,
says Salt river valley has just been visit
ed by the greatest flood on record.
The storm has been general over the
country. 1t swept over Arizona with a
deluge Of rain, raising the mountain
streams to torrents and the rivers far
above their level.
Since last Thursday morning Salt river
has risen seventeen feet above the ordi-
nary level at a point twenty-eight miles
above Phoenix. At Tempe, on the south
side of the river, railroad bridge was
swept entirely away, cutting off commu-
nication with Phoenix. A little south Of
Phoenix the river left the channel and
overfowed a number of farms, cutting
out the railroad tracks. Many farm
buildings built of adobe crumbled away.
Frame structures foated off. The
northern edge of the river, which is about
a mile wide and thirty feet deep, entered
Phoenix, flooding out many poor families.
The territorial insane asylum had a narrow
escape, the water being banked off. The
electrical works were flooded and the
town left in darkness. About 100 adobe
houses fell in as soon as water soaked
them and a large amount of personal
property was thus lost. Measures for re-
lief of the needy have been taken.
The loss is not less than $125 900, Of
which one-third falls to the railroad COM
pany. About five miles of track was
washed out and bridge destroyed.
Five Pima Indians living near Lehi,
twenty miles east of Phoenix, are the only
persons known to have been drowned,
though it is believed a white man and
family living on an island north Of Phe-
nix also perished.
New York-Y esterday afternoon the
Twenty-eighth street wall Of the Fifth
avenue theater fell in with a crash and
broke the water mains running through
Twenty.eight street. That thoroughfare
is flooded as far as Sixth avenue and east
of Broadway. 1t is reported that two OF
three men are injured, but at present nc
further particulars are known. No per
son injured nor any material damage
done.
Chicago drought in southern Hi
nois is at last broken. A part OF the state
is deluged by one of the heaviest storms
in many months. All Of the streams are
bank full. Over three-feurths of the wells
have been dry for months.
Muncie, Ind.-The rain has been fall.
ing in torrents at intervals for the past
thirty hours. White river is rapidly ris-
ing and is now out of its banks. The fac
tories are covered with water, and the
800 900 sewer, not yet quite complete, is
threatened with destruction. The rail-
road bridge Of the Lake Erie & Western
at Albany is reported washed away.

A Word to Orchardists.

The season for planting fruit trees is at
hand, and parties about to engage in this
business are reminded that they should
patronize home institutions in selecting
their stock. The Santa Fe nurseries have
collection of 100000 trees and shrubs
from which to select, The stock is all
home grown and thoroughly acclimated
and is 40 per cent superior to all eastern
stock. The prices are very reasonable.
Mr.. Rivenburg, the manager, will under
take to supply the same goods the east
ern nurserymen do at one-third the cost
1t will be we'll for fruit growers to investi'
gate this subject.

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

Even the letter list is thankfully re-

1t is reported that there was some sort
of show in town last night.
A whole week and only two days Of
sunshine-whoever heard of it before?
Blessed is the man who owneth his
own mud-scow, for he shall sail on the
top wave.
Santa Fe will be ineo' porated before
many weeks--the mud and lack of pave
ments have settled this question.
A leaking roof is the most abominable
thing on earth. This has clearly been
demonstrated during the past week.
Mr.. Webber has directed Mike Bar.
ardinelli to put down a sidewalk poCc
promptly at the Webber block corner.
The way the adobes are crumbling in
dicates that brick and stone will hence
forth be the popular building material in
these parts.
The war department declines to appoin,
custodian OF the Fort Marcy military
reservation, and in response to applica
tons sends word that Lieut.. Clay and 6
detachment Of the 10th infantry will re-
main here until the post is reoccupied.'
Significant, eh?
The third of the series of entertain
ments by the Spanish-Dramatic society
will take place at Gray's opera house or
Saturday evening, the 2Sth inst, when
they will present Santa Fe's favorite
drama, "The Return of the Crusader

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-02-19

The statistics of the New York City
Live Stock Trade for 1890 have been pub
lished and contain some items of interest
to farmers and stock owners throughout
the country. A larger number of beeves,
COWS and calves were sold than in any
other year since 1860, from which date
careful records of sales have been kept.
The prices obtained for beef were slight
ly in advance of those received the pre-.
ceding year. The tolal number of beeves
received was 6SS, 015, an average of 49,
231 per week, of which about 8, 900 per
week were dressed here and some 1000
carcasses were sent from Chicago. The
estimated average price of beeves, live
weight, was SAL per hundred pounds.
The average number of COWS per week
was 200, and of calves 5,5S3. Not quite
as many sheep and lambs were received
as in The year before, the average per
week for 1880 being 35, 1873, but prices
were slightly improved. The number of
hogs sold was greater than in any recent
year-averaging 40,747 per week but
prices were considerably lower than they
were in 1889. There are, however indi.
cations of marked and speedy improve
ment in this branch of the live stock
business. The foreign trade in beef has
been nearly one-fourth larger than it was
in 1889, but it is the general verdict of
exporters that it has been improbable.
1t seems highly probable that the export
alton of live stock for beef will be largely
superseded by the shipment of dressed
meat in refrigerator compartments of the
fast ocean steamers. i American Dairy

Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1891-02-19

from the tower Kalakaua had prepared
a treatise showing its antiquity as prac-
ticed by Hawaiian chiefs about 81. 900
years before the Christian era. These
proceedings were soon known throughout
the islands. An uneasy feeling disturbed
the foreigners, while spirit of unrest
and expectation of some great change
took possession of the natives. The hula
was revived. Feasting and dissipation,
music and dancing went on without
ccasing within the palace, the gates of
which were closed to foreigners loopholed
and fortified and guarded by soldiers.
The death of the Kings sister, Princess
Likelike, about this time, added to the
feeling of evaporation with which the
foreigners in Honolulu viewed these
proceedings, because it was notorious
that she Indignantly refused to join or
countenance the Kilo Kilo, and expressed
her preference for her foreign friends
and entire sympathy with Christian
teaching and doctrine. Her death was
attributed to the kah,tnds, who init
mated that one of the royal family must
die to propitiate Pele and stop the lava
flow from Mauna Loa. She died, rumor
had it, as the sacrifice to Pele, and the
lava flow stopped. Certain it is that her
death was at once shock and surprise,
and had its influence upon the revolu-
tionary movement, which shortly after
abolished the Board of Genealogy,
trampled upon the Kilo-Kilo, whipped
Kalakaua into constitutional traces and
destroyed forever his ambition to restore
the ancient faith, customs and traditions
of the Hawaiian race
That such an idea should have been
seriously entertained by any man in Ha-
waii at the present day would have been
remarkable enough; but that a man of
Kalakaua's education, intelligence and
experience should have acted upon it in
the later years of his life, and at the very
pinnacle of success, is one of these ano-
males which cannot be explained or
understood.-[San Francisco Examiner.
