MEASUREMENT OF SNOWFALL.
Purpose to Estimate Water From
the Melting of Spring and Summer

Accurate forecasts Of the water supply
available for agricultural and commercial
purposes during spring and summer
months as a result of the previous winter
SHOWS will be made within two years
from this time. This was the prediction
made yesterday by Secretary Of Agricul-
ture Wilson. in speaking of experiments
which the weather bureau has been MAX
ing for some time.
The weather bureau has been making
systematic measurements of the amount
of snowfall In the mountain regions OF
the west" said the Secretary. "for the
purpose of determining as accurately as
possible the amount OF water available for
agricultural and commercial PURPOSES
during the ensuing spring and summer
months
I'm connection with the study Of snow
fall and its consequent run-off, a system
attic snow survey was begun in the wa
tershed of Maple creek near Springville,
Utah While the work was experimental
IL is thought that within two years suf-
ficient observations will have been OBJ
tanned to permit of accurate forecasts Of
water supply from the winter snowfall.
The system also can be extended to
other and large projects and the work
will be limited only by the amount of
funds available for the work. The pre-
liminary campaign in the Maple Creek
watershed has received hearty common
dalton from farmers and engineers.

Of India and the recent rail expansion In
China are also matters Of common
knowledge But there remains ono not
inconsiderable project which has attract

Chinese. the great French railroad OF
Asia.
In reality the French project 10 two

and Cochin China and the cities Of
Hanoi. Hue and Saigon. The second line.
starting at the Tonkinese port of Hal

reach the upper valley OF the Yangtse

For Indo-China the shore line binding
the three great provinces is in reality
the first effective step toward a COM

equitable plea so as to get in certain
testimony, and the plaintiff demurred
The court overruled the demurrer and the
plaintiff took judgment on the demurrer.
This ended the case until the court of
appeals can decide whether the equitable
plea was good or bad.
The plaintiff claims title to certain
pieces of land near South Cumberland,
including a piece now occupied by the
defendant The title is based on the
original condemnation, and 1t is alleged
that those now occupying the ground are
sQuatters.
The defendant claims the plaintiff can
not locate the line of condemnation, de-
claring that the papers are lost, and fur
Their contends that the canal company
long ago abandoned the property now in
dispute, and that the defendant has good
title by right Of possession. There are
many legal points in the case and it has
been holly contested because there are
several other similar cases pending.
