head waters of Silver Creek

Although it will mean loss of
several hundreds of dollars in la
Dor and time spent in it's con-
struction by the people of Snow

considered fortunate. that the

before the crops were planted. A

that they will not contribute
toward the building of another
dam unless those who have
charge of the work lay a firm and
substantial foundation or base,
of cement and rock masonry. Z
1t has been proven time after
time that dams that are built of
loose dirt and bOulders will not
withstand any very great vol
ume OF water. Such dams are
a constant menace and sooner
or later give way and cause more
or less destruction to farms and
