PROVO-The snow in the Wasatch
range Is at the present time two feet
deeper than it was at any time during
last winter As II has been showing
during the major portion of the week
in the mountains and in the valley the
farmers feel that they need not fear
that there will be a scarcity Of water
during the coming summer, There
viii be ample water TO mature the
crops for the coming summer. and on
the ranges there viii accordingly be
abundance Of feed for the stock This
forecast Of the water supply embraces
all of Utah county.
MAPLErON-From observation and
inquiry it is learned that there is con-
siderable more snow than there was at
any time during last winter. There has
been fully twelve inches Of snow fall
curing the present month, with about
three inches now on the ground, while
in the canyons, Of course, II Is much
deeper. In the matter Of crops there
seems to be some apprehension felt In
regard to the water supply for the COM
Ing summer unless there is considerable
more snow yet TO fall ere winter can

contracts are being closed as hereto
fore. Stock Is somewhat cheaper In
price than year ago, but there are
signs Of raise in the market
AMERICAN FORK-The present in
dications point to the fact that the out
look for the crops and stock during next
summer are very encouraging when
compared with last year. Snow is
about four inches deep here now, with
every indication that there is. more to
come. From reports received from
those who have entered the canyons
around here the snow Is too deep to
permit OF taking Of supplies to the
mines. Before this last snow storm
there were two feet of snow at the
smelter and six feet at the Kalamazoo
Now that the snow has come in earnest
II Is impossible to get higher up than
the smelter. where the snow is at pres
ent four feet deep, The farmers are
Of the opinion that while the prospects
are considerably better and brighter
than they were at this time last year,
at the same time II will require more
snow and rain to fully mature the late
crops.

in the vicinity of Payson is about four

ORANGEVILLE-It has been snow
ing here every day for some time
Sheep and cattle men say that II is
simply glorious and the farmers one
ana all are Of the opinion that the water
question Is now practically settled for
the balance of the year. At this time
last year there was no snow In the val
ley and very little on the mountains,
and horsemen were crossing to Sanpete;
but none dare try 1t now, as the gener-
al opinion is that 1t has been showing
in the mountains steadily to the extent
that the trail Is now impossible.
CASTLE DALFS-On an average there
Is about Is inches OF snow in the valley.
while In the mountains the snow Is too
deep for personal inspection. The out,
look for the sheep is accordingly very
bright as there will be abundant feed
for them even on the bad lands.

IEASDALE-There is about six
inches more snow on the mountains In
this vicinity when compared with what
there was during last year While the
snowfall has been considerably heavier
on the mountains this year the precipl-
,alloh IN the yelleys has distinctly been
less The prospects for crops and stock
LOT me coming season Is consequently
hardly any brighter than they were

a niue more snow now than this time
last year but not sufficient 10 make
conditions favorable for good crops. The
outlook for stock Is worse than AT any
lime since the settlement OF the valley
Ihe ranges We're completely dried up
last summer there now exists no old

late IN this high altitude. Altogether
present indications are unpromlsing.

HUNTSVILLE-For the first time
this winter the farmers and sheep men
are feeling quite jubiant over the snow
fall which last week was six inches
deep on the ground The snow in gen.
eral Is much lighter In the mountains
as yet than last year Old trappers
who are in the mountains the most OF
the winter claim that the south sides
Of the hills are bare, whereas last year
at this time they were covered with
snow to the depth Of from two to six
feet Of snow Unless there are abund-
ant downfalls Of rain during the COM
ing season the prospects Of the farmers
viii be decidedly gloomy There is one
of the finest sites here in the west for
a reservoir but like many other pro-
jects that are awaiting development
the site is still awaiting the advent OF
outside capital.
OGDEN-The agriculturalists In this
part Of the state are feeling quite en-
couraged for the bright prospects Of u
rich harvest this year. At the opening
Of the twentieth century the prospects
were very gloomy, very little snow
having fallen, and the winter had been
very Open which caused the farmers
much anxiety, on account OF the out
look for water with which to irrlgate
their lands and a general feeling of
how shall we get water with which TO
water our lands? was the queery. This
trouble has been, to a certain degree.
removed and the present outlook for
plenty of water Is very encouraging.
Until the dawn Of this year there was
not more than three feet Of snow In the
mountains surrounding Weber county,
but since about the middle OF January
nearly four feet OF snow has fallen in
the mountains and today the farmers
are rejoicing TO know that there are
from six 10 seven feet Of snow stored
in the mountains surrounding this val
ley This amount Of snow with what
will fall during the remainder Of the
winter will assure the farmers Of plen-
ty Of water with which to irrigate their
lands.
The prospects for a successful year
with the agriculturelists is very bright,
and no doubt the canning factories and
sugar factory in this county will run at
full capacity during the coming season.
The sugar factory Is signing up con-
tracts Tor over 1900 acres Of beets, and
the canning factories are slgnSg very
extensively.

PANGUITCH-The prayers OF the
people have been answered with the re-
suit that 1t has been showing, off and
on, for more than a week. As the wind
has been very strong and the snow has
drlfted considerably, II is difficult to es-
innate the amount Of the fall; in some
places It is four inches deep, in others
eighteen. In the mountains II Is re-
ported TO be from three 10 four feet

vicinity are feeling exceedingly happy
at the snowfall during the last few

T0oELE-The snow In the mountains
adjacent TO this city is decidedly an
Improvement on what there was in the
canyons last year Already there is
over three feet of snow In the canyons
with every indication that there Is TO be
more to follow. As consequence a
good crop season is anticipated al
though there is not yet any too much
snow for the summers water supply,
What stock there is remaining will nat
urally do better than they did last
year. and as a consequence those men
who sold out their livestock last year
are feeling that it would be a good
thing 10 have some more this season.
GHANTSYILLE-The general inn
preston in this city Is that the snow
in the mountains Is not any too plenti-
full as yet. but in any case the snowfall
of this year has exceeded that Of the
entire winter Of last year The indica-
tons for stock and crops are very poor
as yet. but Of course the spring rains
will help TO a great extent the crops and
the grass,

there is from one third to half more
snow in the mountains than there was
at the same time last year, The snow
is also more compact and will last
later in the season. In the valley we
have had very little snow, last month
being the warmest and the dryest jan
uary that we have experienced in forty
years. Roads We're quite dusty during
the latter past of last month. while the
snow in the fields did not exceed three
inches. The outlook for the stock on

popular with riders and drivers, who
use the Darby road. This road is itself
historic, being the old Kings High

The weather-beaten stones Of the
older portion of the building have seen
the years of three centuries, echoed TO
the tramp of the troops of COrnwallis
and Washington, and were silent wit
nesses to the pretty story told of the
latter, who, while stopping at the inn,
heard one of the three Paschal sisters
say she would like to kiss him.
Which One?" he asked, and, being
unable to obtain a satisfactory answer
said:
