The brothers, Alonzo Woods Jr., 26. and Bill Woods, 18, are being held in the Sevier County jail following their capture. Lindquist, who was returning from the Airport on Friday, picked up the two brothers along the highway, north of Salina.

Winkler, local forester. Storms over the mountains have been light and very localized. Most areas below 8,000 meet elevations have received no moisture. Grass, brush and timbered areas are becomng very dry. Lack of caution by mountain visitors can result in damaging fires, warns the ranger. To prevent fires, visitors to the forests should observe a few simple rules. Throw no burning material. Lighted cigarettes and burning tobacco, are most common, from automobiles. Make camp on areas which can be made safe for fire and preferably stop at improved campsites, where stoves are provided. When it is necessary to make a fire, clear the flamable litter from the surface of the soil, and make the fire on a spot cleared to mineral soil. Do not build a large fire. Be sure the fire is extinguished before it is left. Fires are best extinguished by mixing the burning material with water. Where water cannot be obtained, spade the burning material into the mineral (Continued On Page 8) Army Engineers Bring Sevier River Under Control In Area Work Expected To Continue One Year No Irrigation Interference Have First Meet In Decade Fayette-Gunnl-so- Mrs. Ira Rasmussen and Mi's.

In a statement to the press here today, Army Corps of Engineers spokesmen said that this amount of dirt will be moved, to make the river a new channel. As it is now, the river rides high and crooked over its former bed, at times flooding the valley and creating high ground water conditions that have caused abandonment of field after field of once fertile row one-ha- lf crops. Brought to the attention of under provisions of the 1944 Flood Act, an authorization was made for works of improvement. This year, following necessary appropriations and arrangements for local participation, the engineers moved in. Work was started July 8th, under a contract with Floyd S. Whiting, successful bidder, for an amount exceeding $591,500. According to Colonel Josepih S Gorlinski, Sacramento District Engineer, who visited the project Sunday, work will consist of cutting a new channel 61,180 feet in length. This new channel," said Col. Gorlinski, will restore the river to a useful stream, that will again benefit the area, Instead of slowly destroying it. The new alignment will speed up the flow, tend to keep the channel clean, 'reduce your serious ground water problem, and at the same time maintain established irrigation requirements." One of the construction problems, was in fact, how to keep the job running smoothly without interfering with irrigation schedules. The contractor has managed this by linking a series of slough at the lower end of the job. This provides a temporary route for the river to the Gunnison - Fayette diversion, while new works are going In place. Froject drawings show ten s that will take out meandering loops and shorten 0 this section of the stream by feet. When completed, the new channel grade will be 2.6 feet per thousand feet In the upper portion, and the ratio will ease to 0.6 feet per thousand in the lower end of the project. Bottom width of this manmade section of the Sevier River will be 33 feet, with slopes of 1 on 3 to a 50 ft. berm, beyond which will be the spoil banks. These banks, made from the excavated material, will serve to some extent as additional protection. However, the channel of the river, as now designed, will pass 2,600 cubic feet per second without creating any of the old familiar damage. Norman P. Stromness, Resident Engineer for the Corps of Engineers, reports that present work consists of making the cutoffs and the temporary diversion previously mentioned. Later this year, excavation will begin for the replacement of existing irrigation diversions at Westview Instead and Gunnison-Fayettof using fixed structures as are presently employed, the new diversions will use radial gates, set in reinforced concrete. This will permit the stream to scour seaitself out in sons, and to handle flood conditions when they develop. At points where Denmark Wash and Salina Creek enter the main stream, the channel will be lined. This lining, to prevent erosion, will be of dumped rock, with voids filled by class A concrete. In other words, said Harry (Continued On Page 6) Congress, cut-off- 17,-00- e. non-irrigati- |
