Afoqui village Criers.

Among the picturesque features of
life In the Moqui villages are the town
criers, who take the place of the daily
newspapers in civilized communities.
There are two of these functionaries,
one representing the "hostiles' and the
other the ''friendlies," the opposing po-
litical parties in the Tusayan villages.
Twice a day these officials ascend to
the housetops and, wrapped in their
scarlet blankets, their figures outlined
against the clear blue sky, call out in
long drawn, resonant tones whatever
announcement or record Of town hap
penings may be in order.

Rogue Rivers Rampases

Wet times like this OF the present
week are always productive Of remin.
iscences by the old timers and Rogue
rivers historic foods aie fertile theme.
The first flood Of which white men have
any knowledge was in 1852, when the
river was nearly as high as 1t has been
at any subsequent time. At that time
it is said that the Indians told OF q
much greater flood that had occurred
years before and told the white men
that the latter had not yet seen "big
water. The flood Of '62 was the
largest that has ever occurred in Rogue
river since the country has been in
hablted by white men. The winter was
abnormal in the amount OF snow that
fell and when it lay = foot or more deep
all over the valleys and several feet on
the mountains, a heavy warm rain set
in. 1t rained furiously for about week,
and all the streams were raging torrents.
Large portions OF the river bottom
below Grants Pass were submerged and
where the end OF Sixth street now is the
water reached very nearly to the top Of
the bank. In '66 again there was
flood which failed by several feet to
reach the mark OF 1872. There seem to
have been no very great floods from
that time until 'Sl, in which year the
river reached mark only two or three
feet below that OF '62. Many Of the
present residents Of Grants Pass remem
Der the food OF '90 1t was winter
very similar TO that OF the historic year
OF '62. Snow covered the ground all
over Rogue river valley for over a
month. A Chinook wind with heavy
warm rain then set in and swept away
the snow with astonishing rapidity.
The waters reached about the same
mark that they did in 'Sl, though many
Of the smaller streams were higher than
ever before in the knowledge Of the
inhabitants. Since 1890, we have had
no excessively high water.

Rspublioan Conventions.

The republican state central committee
and the Second district congressional
committee met at the Chamber Of Com
merce building in Portland Saturday to
fix dates for the coming political con-
ventions. The congressional convention
will be held on April l, aud the state con-
vention on April 2.
{ Both conventions will be held in Port.
land, no other cities asking to be desig-
mated. The State Central Committee
recommended that the primaries be
held March %, and the county conven.
tions on March 90. Some OF the county
members urged that the date was too
near the time set for the state conven-
ton, and they would not have time to
reach Portland after attending the
county convention. 1t was pointed oct
that the naming OF the dates will not be
binding, and they were made because il
was customary for the committee to
make such Recommendation.

Wildcat in Town,

1t Is not often that the wild beasts OF
the Jungle pay visit TO the principal
street Of u city like Grants Pass, but it
happened Thursday morning. Mrs. O..
II. De Puy, who lives on Sixth street a
short distance above the NJ. Il. church,
hearing commoton among her
chickens, went to investigate and found
a wildcat crouching under the house.
She drove him out OF his retreat with a
long switch and he attempted to escape
but corraled himself in a corner OF the
wire fence. There be crouched, sullen
and bewildered, while Mrs. Depuy stood
guard with the switch. Several boys
came along and further surrounded the
unfortunate feline. Arthur Conklin
came along on his wheel, took in the
situation and hurried on to the court
house to notify the authorities. County
Clerk Roy Bartlett armed himself with
a revolver and FASTENED to the scene
where he poured iusillade OF bullets
into kitty's fur, ending the animaPt
career. The "varmint" was the ordi
nary "bob.cat," quite large, but very
poor and thin and evidently nearly
starved, which may account for III
venturesome expedition. 1t had prob
ably come in the early morning hours
when every thing was quiet and becam
bew lldered, "rattled", rs wild animal
seem to do often under circumstance
Of this nature.

Rain

The "long dry spell" was broken
early last week and since then there has
been no lack Of moisture. The true
Oregonian is wearing broad smile,
finding continual delight in the swollen
riyulets and the pouring rain. His
webioot toes, which, it is said had
become dry and squeaky, have resumed
their normal condition.
On Sunday, the Grants Pass people
thought of the Deluge. Saturday night
and Sunday morning II rained iuriously
without cessation. During the "a hours
ending Sunday evening, there fell 2.77
inches Of rain. The town presented
most aquatic appearance on Sunday
morning, with every gutter UYerilowing
and lakes Of water everywhere. Sixth
street was river The post Office was
water bound by several inches of water
on the sidewalk. The front door Of
Hotel Josephine was a first rate boat
landing. The waters soon subsidized,
leaving sidewalks and crossings well
sprinkled with debris and drift.
The scope Of the severe storm was
very extensive and washouts occurred
at a number Of places along the railroad,
At Dunsmur Merlin, the Cow Creek
canyon and Cottage Grove, the trains
were delayed. AT Dunsmuir, the storm
assumed the character OF cloudburt
A steep, narrow canyon was filled with
water 90 feet deep The waters divided
before they reached Dunsmuir other
vice the town must have been swsp
away. As it was, number OF house
were wrecked and many were illet
with mud 10 depth Of a foot or more
At Merlin, the railroad bridge acros
Louise creek was swept away and train
wore DELAYED until Monday forenoon
The rainfall thus far at Grants Pas
during February, mp to noon of tn
18th has been 7.50 inches
