UTAH STREAMS ON A RAMPAGE Utah's streams are Just now breaking all records for high water, at least since Government meajurmenta have been taken. Tha Provo river is running- 150C second-feet of water, and the Bear river's flow measures 000 second-fee L The highest previous measurument of the Bear rtver was S100 second-feet, while last year's record of the Provo wu only 900. The Logan river is carrying car-rying about 1000 second-feet, and all of the Cache valley streams are on the rampage. No special damage has been reported by the high water so far, but the heavy rains of the last few days, adding to the volume from the rapid; -melting snows in the mountains, have been causing apprehension in some quarters. Utah lake haa risen until the pumping pump-ing plant la required to raise water for the Irrigation canals a distance of only six inches, and it Is predicted by some that the lake will reach the compromise comprom-ise point before the high water season Is over. The late rains aaeure good small grain crops for the "dry" farm-era farm-era and there la no danger of the fanners fann-ers who Irrigate suffering for the lack of water this year.
