RAPID RISE
[OFJtfATER
Occurred Here Sunday—
When Is a Flood
a Flood?
Breaking on tbe afternoon of the
14th, running for about an hour, then
halting, the, Kuskokwim river ice
again started on its course about (i
o’clock on the mornmg of 'the \15th.
After running for perhaps an hour or
so it became quite apparent that a jam
had taken place somewhere below the
town, causing a rapid rise of water,
which ineonveDienoed ocost of the resi
dents to the extent df moving furni
ture, supplies, etc., tfromthe first floors.
The jam broke about (> in the after
noon, causing she water to fall to bank
level almost at once.
The Tacotna ice did not go out until
Tuesday, when both rivers hegan again
to slowly rise, and this morning water
is again on the floor of several build
ings, and the prospects are that every-;
one will be hunting high spots within
the next few hours.
In the meantime the -Question arises
as to whether we have had or will
have a flood this .year. If vou
ask Dave Clpugh, and a few others
hereabouts, they shake their heads,
point to the high water mark of last:
year, as mueh as to say that [there has,
been only a slight rise. As for our-j
selves, the water in The Times office^
on Sunday afternoon was only ten
inches deep. That height may not,
constitute a flood. What we would
like to know, however, is this: How
deep must the water become before it
reaches flood height?
