HIGH WATER AT BOTH
+ ENDS OF THE COUNTY.

Owing to the recent rains and the
sudden hot weather. after cold spring
the unusually heavy snow in the
mountains has melted rapidly and
caused much high water throughout
the west, and in many places rivers
have risen above the high water
mark Of 1894, the, banner year for
floods. The ST. Joe and ST. Maries
countries have been. transformed in,
appearance, the water inpndating the
vast moadows to an unusual degree.
At St. Joe, the food invaded the
streets and the houses. 1t Is said
that the lower floor Of O'Neil's hotel
was covered by water IS inches deep,
that the walters wore rubber boots
and patrons dined on the second floor.
One man had to SO out in boat to
milk his COW. The office of the st.
Joe Budget was drowned out, and
merchants raised their counters half
way to the ceiling. The st. Joe
reached the highest stage 1t has lad
for several years. On Wednesday Of
| last week it was 13 feet and IL in
above low water mark. 1t Is now
falling steadily. The meadows over
flow regularly every spring. A com
petent engineer says this could BE-
remedied by lowering the mouth of
the Spokane River, which, however,
could be done only at great expense.
I The Kootenai river has. also got out
of its banks. AT Bonners Ferry the
water stood three feet deep In. the
streets aud the tracks of the Great
Northern were covered to a depth ol
| feet. So soft became the road bee

WHY RATS GNAw.

The Boise Statesman in speaking
of the fact that the teeth of the rat
and squirrel are constantly growing,
gives the opinion that the reason why
rats are constantly gnaWing, is to
keep the teeth down to their proper
length. 1t may be inconsequential,
but Is 1t not more reasonable that
nature has provided for perpetual
growth in order to keep up with the
wear and tear incident to the con-
slant gnawing to which the rat is ad-
dicted? alAs ss
