Show CREEK PREPAID FORJGH WATER The patriotic citizens who donated their services to re pair the creek bed and to build up Its banks so that it will hold tho expected high water, did some, very effective work during . tho first three days of the week. I About 200 men responded to the call j and, all the dangerous placos wore lined with large trees and rocks. Many teams wero at work and over 250 trees were cut down to lino tho banks of the creek In low places. Mayor Jesse Walker and, tho committees com-mittees appointed at the mass meeting meet-ing last week hail charge of the work. If present Indications can be relied upon, we can oxpect some very high, and dangerous water this year. Thero is still plenty ot snow In tho hills and if n warm spell comes, damage might result. The whole tntermountaln country is reported to be menaced by the high water. It Is thought, however, that tho work done bore this week will keep the American Fork stream In Its natural'channe) and undoubtedly prevent pre-vent much damage. |
