This will be done at the suggestion of the Soli Conservation Con-servation Service to determine if it would be feasible to construct With the prospects favorable for some high water this year, the officers took steps to have headworks and divisions in the irrigation system In shape to handle any high water which may come. Snow measurements made at the Yankee and the Ed Ward Flat by the Soil Conservation Conserva-tion Service this week, show an increased snow and water storage stor-age at those places this year over last. Measurements at the Yankee showed 26.6 Inches of snow with water content of 8.4 Inches the first of the week. Last year water wa-ter content of snow there was only 5.4 inches.
