Cleve H. Milligan, professor and head of the department of civil and irrigation engineering at Utah State University said Monday the experiment station is helping water users and other agencies in promoting a comprehensive hydro-logicstudy of the Sevier River drainage basin, which might result not only in a more efficient use of the waters of that river,' but disclose possible new sources. In Utah, noted Prof. Milligan, much of our water supply comes from small unmeasured streams. Before the waters within the state can be developed fully, it will be necessary to know the amount coming from these numerous sources. Research on factors which determine water yield is being conducted- - by the experiment station at U.S.U., as a basis for predicting the amount of water available for development, Prof. Milligan said. The Utah experiment station was a pioneer in the development of snow surveys and streamflow forecasting, and one objective of current research by water engineers at U.S.U. is to feret out more basic knowledge to help make such predictions more accurate, he added. U.S.U. scientists also have estimated that in some parts of of water is Utah four acre-feconsumed by native, low pro- ducing or useless vegetation for used on every five acre-feagricultural crops. A possible source of additional water would be the elimination of phreatophytes, or water wasting plants such as willows, cottonwood, salt cedar, cattail and tule grass, said Lyman S.

The couple were married February 18, 1904 in Richfield. Ida M. Burns was born in Salina on October 17, 1884, the daughter of Steven H. and Bena Allred. She attended the local schools, and has resided here her entire life. Vivian Burns was born December 8, 1879 in Loa, the son of M. L. and Julia Blackburn BurnS- He came to Salina with his family when 16 years old, and has since made his home here. Active in the business life of the community, Mr. Burns entered the harness and saddlery business when only 18, and continued in this line until 1953, when he retired. A son, Vern Burns, took over the business, which is one of the few of this type still in operation. Mrs. Burns was also active in the business, and was an expert at repairing and making all types of saddle work. She has als0 been active in the American Legon Auxiliary, and is a Gold Star Mother, and past president ber literary club. Being able to enjoy the same things and do them together, was one of the main reasons the couple gave for their many years of hapgy wedded life. Both love the outdoors, fishing and hunting, and they have both worked, together in collecting one of the outstanding rock col- lections in the West.

A telephone call Sunday evening stated the injured man was making a satisfactory recovery. The mishap occured when Mr. Mason was planting cotton. He left the tractor to adjust a mark- er, and the machine started up, the big wheel passing over the mans body. He suffered five broken ribs, several were crack- ed, and his one leg pulled out of joint. A son, Leon, was with his father, and rushed him to the Mission Hospital. Only the fact the ground was soft was believed to have saved Mr. Masons life. The address of the family is: 609 LaVista Drive, McAllen, Texas. NO. 30 door-to-do- or ee .i';: |
