MOISTURE IN PLENTY FALLS IN MOUNTAINS The apprehension that existed earlier in the winter that because ot' a deficient snowfall a scarcity of water would be experienced during tho coming summer, was dissipated yesterday by the report of J. Cecil Aiter, meteorologist in charge of the local weather bureau, showing- that during January thirty-one inches of snow had fallen, and most of it is still iu the hills. The snow fell in ideal condition and iu seventeen storms, consequently is well distributed and well packed. The precipitation for the season is 3.8'J inches, against normal of T.oj inches. The forecast for the week is fair, except ex-cept light snows about the middle of the week, and again at th end of the week. It will be colder after today.
