Show . HIGH WATER .AT. MANTI. For two weeks ihe ever alert City Fatheis of Manti have had a force ol from leu to tiitliteeu men, working on the City Creek clearing the channel in places and guarding against possible damage by high water. A we-'c ago last Sunday, twenty " men and ten teams were at woik. The creek has heen filled up with giavel and d.rt nearly near-ly lull,-just not 1 of town, and it was feared that the water would cut a new channel west to the Sanpitch, Men and scraper were put to wolkaclea'n-ing wolkaclea'n-ing out the old cieek bed in places, and making a new channel in others, and it is now hoped the danger is past. The water in the cieek has been higher high-er this spring than ever known at the spring high wtter; and more gravel and stone have heen brought down ihe stream thau ever before, which is 110 doubt the d.slodgeuieiit of the debris uf last year's llood that filled up the bed ol the stream in many places in the canyon. Soma think the high-water is past, but according to the old signs and in-dxations, in-dxations, which are certain bodies ol snow, that ate seen to melt at the high-water high-water stage, Ihe.sprmg ireshets have not yet commenced. |
