Show SNOW IN THE HILLS Good Record (tfada During Month of January. SOUTHERN UTAH IS SHORT Preclpit&tisn Far Below tha Avoraga Thore. Greatest Fall of the Month Was at Taylorvlllo, in Salt Lake County. The January snowfall bulletin just Issued by tho United Stntcs weather bureau, shows very favorable conditions for an abundant water supply for tho coming searon, especially in the light of the snowstorm of February nth, when almost as much snow fell as during dur-ing the entire month of January and which is not included In the Government report This later storm was also more general than those occurring in January nnd will improve conditions in portions of the State which were before not so well favored. The report says. Tho snow in tho mountains at the close of January ranged from two to five feet In tho northern and mlddlo counties. Over ihe southern counties there was practically practical-ly no snow on tho ground. The greater portion of the snow fell during January, and it Is well packed and drifted In the gulches and canyons. The snowfall In the northern part of the Stnto was far above tho average, and over tho central counties coun-ties the amount was about normal for the last of January. A bountiful supply of irrigation ir-rigation water Is assured for the northern and middle portions of the State, but there will be a scarcity of water over the southern section unless heavy tnows fall before the beginning of the crop season." The Government's reports show that throughout the Great Salt lake watershed water-shed nearly ever locality had a depth of snowfall considerably in excess of the average, up to the last of January, while the Sevier lake and the Green and Colorado rivers watersheds, save in two localities only, had less than the average. ave-rage.
