Show WATER STILL HIGH water users under chalk creek are enjoying nearly ideal watershed conditions this year in the first place the water became the highest that it had been tor for several years and perhaps it rarely ever has remained high later than it is this year while the creek is now dropping rapidly all the high streams are still turned on and that is a condition that often exist the middle of june for weeks the creek carried all the water that could readily be managed in tact fact any more water would probably have done damage in the present condition ot of the system the amount of 0 water this year vindicates the position taken by the forest service during recent dry years many people have felt that the diminished stream was due to too little grazing on the national forest and that we never would have high water as ot of old until more of 0 the vegetation was grazed ot off the mountains this year proves the fallacy of 0 that argument and those interested in chalk creek can thank the restrictive measures of 0 the forest service that the stream come down this year bringing the amount ot of mud and gravel that it did years ago |
