BIG RESERVOIR BREAKS

Morning Post, July g.
Yesterday morning the government
dam at Jackson lake broke, and tn
large volume of water that poure
through the break, soon took up tn
balance of the dam. 1t is pouring il
to the South Fork of the Snake river
When the break occurred the tele
phone Exchanges along the line wer,
Immediately notified, and yesterda!
afternoon local Manager Upham was
busy informing the various dich> com
panies of this section of the accident
SO that the headgates could be shut
down and flooding of the canals avert
ed. So that it is probable no damage
will be done this far down.
When the dam was constructed two
or three years ago the waters of jack
on lake were impounded, and there
is considerable head when the dam is
full. Some damage was occasioned
by a previous break, and the canals
and territory up around Menan were
flooded.
The ferry has gone out below the
dam and the bitches are running over
and great volume of water poured
into the river all day yesterday.
The telephone got quick action and
the notification saved the farmers
along the route heavy loss. Had not
the headgates been shut off every
thing would have been under water
in the upper country, but as it is the
river will carry off the surplus.
While it was but temporary dam
1t held large reserve supply of wa
ter and some apprehension is felt
that later in the season a serious
shortage of water will be felt.
LATER-More definite reports
from Jackson lake state that only the
two ends of the dam are out, but the
center portion is still solid, and the
water is being let into the river slow
ly. The men in charge at the dam
state that if the center portion of
The dam will stand until II o'clock |
Today wednesday, most of the wa
;er will be drained of, and there will
be little danger of flooding valley
