Beaver river is flowing about 100 sec. feet at this time, while the normal flow is between 350 and 4 00 feet. The flow has remained almost constant for the past 10 days, said Mr. Boyter.

Although the ditches are receiving only about half their normal supply for this time of the year, it Is expected that there will be little change in the supply for the next few weeks. The Kent's Lake water users held a meeting Saturday evening to determine the policy to be followed with their water. This reservoir, when completely filled, holds about 950 acre feet, but according to reports is only approx f full this year. imately It was decided to convert this water into the Beaver river when the flow warrants such conversion. If the flow of about 10 second feet can be continued into the Kent's Lake for another two weeks or so it will be of material benefit to the water users when released. Ordinarily this water Is not used until July. Mr. Boyter also reported that C. O. Roskelley, deputy state engineer, was in Beaver last week. He directed the installation of auto matic recording wiers on the Three Creeks drainage and on the North Fork of Northcreek. Both of these sites have been surveyed for proposed reservoir construction, and these stream flow recorders are being installed to determine if the construction Is warranted. Mr. Boyter says these recordings will likely be taken for at least two seasons that a near average flow might be determined. The Chamber of Commerce last week sent a request to the State Engineer for a new survey of the Three Creeks site. According to reports reaching that organization, the estimated construction cost was too high, and it was thought a resurvey might determine nearer accurate cost and the project would then receive more favorable .gymansium. by the Reclamation Thirty-nin- e students received consideration awards and the following students Bureau. received scholarships: Ellen Harris.
