Moreover, 13 traffic Flood Blocks Canyon Road By JACK MONSON Deseret News Staff Writer SILVER FORK, Big Cutton-No eastbound ood Canyon traffic was being permitted past this point today as highway crews strove to repair damage caused when a flood roared down a side canyon Wednesday afternoon. Residents and visitors from the area cast of lieie, which is dotted by hundreds of homes, were being allowed to travel down the canyon, however. The flood occurred at 1:30 p.m. when a beaver dam gave way, emptying a small reservoir about mile northeast of the highway. The tot rent, carrying rocks, quickly clogged a long culvert which carries runoff l'i silt-fille- d good-size- d under the highway into Big Cottonwood Creek. The flood sluiced across and down the road, covering it with debris and cutting a gap in the hardtop and roadbed. It looked as if an unseen hand just picked up the road and threw it to one side, said Roland Blanke, Los Angeles, who, with his wife, was sightseeing in the canyon. They were driving west and stopped when they saw the water spewing over the road to a depth of about a foot. The washout stranded 35 to 40 persons east of the break, including a womans group w'hich had a luncheon at Brighton Lodge. The Utah Highway Department rushed a road grader and a truckload of gravel to the spot and opened the road for westbound traffic by 4:30 p.m. Efforts to repar the road properly were being hampered this morning by inabilculity to unclog the vert. Water continued to run over the road. It appeared there was little or no damage, other than to the road itself, unless the heavy silt running down the canyon proves fatal to trout in the stream. Ordinarily, the creek runs fairly clear, even during heavy runoff periods in the spring. Cabins at Silver Fork, , across the road to the southwest, apparently escaped damage, according to James of Silver Fork Light, operator Lodge. He made a quick survey of the area and found that, although the flooding waters ran through the cabin area, it apparently didnt get into the buildings. Crews operating the Salt Lake City water treatment plant at the canyons mouth were forced to cut the volume of treated water from the usual 40 million gallons a day to five million, due to problems in settling out the sedi- Which Do You Choose? ment E.

I thought he was going to shoot me, but he just told me to do what he said and nobody would get hurt. Shapiro dropped in at the Safeway Store, 508 N. 2nd West, to buy a loaf of bread at 9:30 a.m. and walked into the armed robbery, already in progress.

Come over here, officer, the robber said, grabbing Shapiro by his shirtfront. I thought he was kidding and I got kind of mad, the crossing guard sad. I hit him on the hand and said,.

Traffic referrals were down 11 per cent, to 13,974. Christean reports that there has been a small but steady decline over the past four to five years in child population In Utah.

Calvin L Rampion said today that the Four Corners Cemmission Regional is not falling apart but has some internal problems which must be settled. The governor, who returned from a Four Comers Commisin sion meeting Phoenix Wednesday, said that problems have been identified and we are seeking a legal solution to determine how much control lies with the federal Rampton made his statements at a televised press conference which can be seen tonight at 7:30 on KUED, Channel 7. Both at the press conference and at the Phoenix meeting, Rampton took Issue wii r e g i o nalizaticn proposals made by the Nixon adminis- tration. He said today that a new proposal that places Utah in the same region as Colorado, Wyoming, Montana and North and South Dakota is a little, but not much better than the first one. The original proposal would added Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nehraska and Idaho to the states now left in the region. Rampton said the regional and grouping of concept states would be discussed l.rtvp again June 10 in Washington when the Federation of Rocky Mountain States meets with Vice President Spiro T. Agnew and the congressional delegations of the seven mem- ber states. The governor Identified the two major areas of concern in the region as development of transportation and vocational education. Wednesday at Phoenix, the Commission agreed to finance a $33,000 study by Arizona of local road needs in the area. This pilot study could be used as a model for Utah, Colorado and New Mexico. Approval of this study, he said, came after he war assured the Arizona survey would not duplicate portions of a $100,000 study the Commission is making of all types of transportation needs in the region. The governor said that planning in the Four Corners region has taken most of the funds available to date, but Utah has received $710,000 for three protects. At his press conference, he said he was more concerned with testing of nerve gas at Dugway Proving Ground than about storage there. However, he urgpd ihat a au mission of the nerve gas problem be done more on a reasonable rather than an emotional basis. He said he knew of no factu some al basis for thp claims of Rep. Richard McCarthy, that 1,700 cattle also died because of nerve gas testing in the Dugway area. The governor also called for calmness in discussion of the controversial closing of Par-lei- 's Canyon rext winter for construction work.
