kaysviile. June Sat go O'Clock this
evening the big new reservoir OF the
Kaysville Irrigation company, situated d
short distance north of the city hall,
gave way and an immense body of water
estimated at 1.zJU,UyJ cubic feet, rushed
down the deep channel of Holmes creek,
carrying every thing before H. For hair
a mile below the dam the high banks of
the water course held the flood within
its bounds, but further down the water
spread and dad mucn damage 10 farm
lands and crops.
The reservoir was north of and above
the town or theNdamage would have been
much greater. The first obstruction i'm
the path OF the water was the Oregon
Short Line tracks which cross Holmes
creek half a mile north Of the kaysvilie
station. The railroad grade backed the
water over the surrounding fields and
gardens, and covered about ten acres of
land, extending nearly to the depot.
Around the house of Agent Thomasen of
the Oregon Short Line the water was
several feet deep "A section of the track
over slGty-SiE feet each side OF the cuI-
vert was washed out and about 109 yards
of rOadbcd was damaged The south
bound passenger train No 10 was late to-
night and when the disaster happened
was between Ogden and kaysVille For
tundtely there was time to notify the
agent at Layton. and the train was held
there and later sent back to Ogden
At the Rio Grande Western three-ouar-
tiers of a mile further west, the flood was
diverted into three channels and under
the track and IN that way the roadbed
was not damaged seriously. The section
and station houses are surrounded by
water. Traffic over the Rio GraDde
Western has not been delayed The mos
serious damage was done west Of the Rio
Grande tracks. where the water rushed
over the lands Of HyrUm Stewart. Ed
mund Webb and others. The extent of
the damage could not be estimated to-
night. but vast area of valuable land
has been flooded and the crops ruined.
The dam was 4 new one and was A fill
made by Senator Simon Bambereer for
the Salt Lake & Ogden railroad The
dam was about twenty five feet i'm heicbr
and was provided with an outlet in the
bottom and a safety waste weir i'm the
top to allow an overflow. The Kavsz-ilfe
Irrigation company purchased the dam
and reservoir and had it almost filled
with water for irrigation 1t viii cost
about $3.50 TO replace the fill and the

up at this point for some time
Fortunately nobody was injured. Sam
