Pounding flood waters of the Price river which have been raging since last Saturday morning brought disaster to the golf course of the Carbon Country club, and far greater material damage looms for farmers depending on water from the Carbon Canal company ditch system, which i3 now dry due to a h of the river bank leading to the diversion dam south of the Country Club property in the Blue break-throug- Cut area.

It appeared for a time that the main 'highway would be washed out, but the road crews and equipment kept pouring huge quantities of rock and earth over the embankment However, the fight is still going on to keep the v-road. Farmers under the Carbon Canal system faced the serious problem of getting the river back into the channel leading to the diversion in time for irrigating purposes. The stream, at the break, keeps getting wider and deeper, presenting an increasing ; V ;v. problem. Terrific damage has been done to the new $50,000 golf course.
