Show Beaver Rains Halt Traffic on Highway 91 A total of .97 of an inch of rain recorded within some five days, as officially recorded by Dee Stapley, cooperative weather observer, has done much to offset the devastating devastat-ing drouth conditions of spring and summer, the worst recorded in many, many years in the Beaver area. While flood conditions existed Sunday in the South Creek drainage drain-age are.j and also out Sulphurdale-way, Sulphurdale-way, with a lesser flood coming out of Pine Creek, the major part of the rainfall was retained on forested for-ested areas, farms and ranch lands, and resulted almost immediately in freshening range feed, pastures, and crop lands. Traffic on Highway 91, south of town, was stopped temporarily, Sunday night by order of Sheriff Lee Fillmore; but this traffic stoppage stop-page was no more than released than a similar halt was necessary at Sulphurdale. No serious damage was reported to main highways or bridge structures. struc-tures. i |
