SNOWFALL IS MUCH
GREATER THAN
FOR YEARS
Reports from Rio Grande
Watershed Indicate That
freShetS viii Occur in the
Spring in Case Snow MeItS
Rapidly

That the snowfall in the mountains
in the northern part of New Mexico
and on the Rio Grande watershed in
southern Colorado is heavier than II
has been for some ten years past is
the statement made in the reports
OF the weather bureau in the Colorado
and New Mexico sections.
The summary of the weather for
February in Il bulletin Just issued by
the section director in Santa Re says.
The snowfall in the mountains Of
the north portion OF the Territory
during February was considerably
above the average, and at the close
OF the month the accumulated depth
was greater than for many years.
The snow was swept into the canyons
by the unusually high winds and set
tied into frozen or compact. deep
drifts. twenty feet or more in depth
in some localities.
At the close Of February a year
ago, the average reported depth Of
the snow in the San Juan watershed
was 80 inches. and this year. iS inch
es. in the Rio Grande, 80 ana 90
inches, respectively, which are very
material increases. In these basins
there viii be an abundant water flow.
and probably very high water unless
conditions later in the season are IA
vorable to the gradual melting of thc
vast banks of snow in the mountains
of these drainage areas,
There was an increase in the stor-
ed depths of the snow in all the
drainage areas of the territory and
the reports indicate that a sufficient
flow for irrigation viii be maintained
in practically all streams late into the
coming summer.
In the southwest, over the san
Francisco, ella ana Mimbrcs area, the
conditions at the close of February
were much more favorable than the
preceding month. AS the average
depth was 10 inches or nearly twice
the amount Mt the close of January.
In the Canadian and Northeast sec
ton, the average depth was 3 inches
in the valleys and - inches in the
mountains. In the upper Pecos water
shed the average depth was 80 Inches
and for the entire drainage area about
% Inches, which is about the nor
NAL.
The Colorado bulletin says:
The snowfall during February was
above the average for the month, ex-
cept in the vicinity of the Sangre de
Cristo and Culebra ranges, The
month was notably stormy, IA MANY
localities along the Continental d.
vide snow fell on 20 days, and ut sew
eral places the number of days with
snow was ven greater. The old
SNOW is packed, but the current fan,
being light and feathery, has been
badly drifted by the prevailing high
winds. Huge drifts formed. gulches
were filled, and railroad travel was
interrupted. Many correspondents re-
port hat the seasons snowfall has
been the greatest since the winter or
1882. and that a heavy flow Is IN
dicatcd. Whether freshcts viii oc-
Will depend upon the character
az the weather conditions during late
spring and summer.

the leading business men of the town
to annex the Pecos valley to Texas.
A large proportion of tho property
holders of this section were formerly
citizens of the Lone Star state and
of course they an enthusiastically
support the scheme, thought they are
not the o%riginators of it. Under a
state government it would be possible
to get better laws, it is argued by the
promoters, besides many other adj
vantages accruing from being part OF
Texas.
The state is large enough in every
sense of the word to extend it's bound
aries yet more. and concerted action
will probably be taken tending To this
end.
