Floods Easing
In Northwest
As It Gets Colder
SEATTLE, i(/P)—Clearing skies
and a sharp temperature drop
eased flood conditions in western
Washington and British Columbia
today an dthe weather bureau
said the “worst is over.”
Rain-swollen rivers were crest
ing and slowly receding after a
three-day rampage which had left
an estimated 5,000 persons home
less. British Columbia counted at
least five dead after a week-end
of floods and storms.
A state of emergency was in ef
fect in Western Washington and,
five national guard units were
called out as rampaging rivers
crashed through dikes and spilled
out over lowlands.
The Red Cross here said nation
al headquarters had made a disas
ter appropriation for the area.
Governor Langlie proclaimed
| a state of emergency after some
4,600 persons had been driven
from their homes in Northwest
Washigton. Another 650 were
homeless in British Columbia’s
flooded Fraser River valley.
Rivers spilled their banks after
three days of record rain. The
weather bureau said early today
clearing weather had generally
eased flood conditions throughout
the area. All streams were falling
with the exception of the lower
reaches of the Green River in
western Washington.
Rivers also were receding in
British Columbia and the situa
tion was reported greatly improv
ed at Princeton where the Tula
meen and Similkameen Rivers
had found channels through an
ice jam.
i The highest water in many
years was reported on the Skagit
River in northwestern Washing
ton. More than 1,000 persons were
evacuated from the low-lying
Skagit delta. The communities of
Hamilton and Conway were virtu
ally deserted and children and
the aged were removed from the
Stan wood area.
In southwestern Washington,
the Cowlitz River crested at 22
feet—the highest level since 1948.
The rampaging river ripped out

Rendezvous
A troupe of about 15 Eskimo
people are practicing and perfect
ing a show of Eskimo dances to be
performed at Anchorage during
the Fur Rendezvous.
Last year the group that went
down to put on an Eskimo show
were so popular that the Rendez
vous officials were unable to find
a place big enough to take care of
the crowd that wanted to see and
photograph the dancers. They
have promised to find a place
suitable this year to take care of
this popular part of the program
of events.
Heading the group again this
year is Sammy Mogg, and his
wife, Carl Kutuk, Eddie Ahkolik,

dancers from Diomede Island,
Shishmaref, and King Island, and
are scheduled to leave on Thurs
day of this week.
The group of dances are cere
monials, and family dances, in
cluding two parts of the Whale
Dance, Mitt Dance, Cutting up erf
the Seal in an Igloo and a Koyuk
Comedy Dance originally planned
to make the children of the vil
lage laugh. A Seal Hunting Dance
is also part of the program and

dezvous.
In addition to the dances they
