a1Vkrhl reservoir on the D. Sever
snes ranch south and east of Sever
snce, has been filled with water for
the past year and now stands two and
half feet deep in water all over the
surface of the lake, which covers a
big area of ground. Farmers in the
vicinity complain that the road, which
runs through the center Of the reser-
v0ir cannot be used because of the
flood of water and they have asked
the county commissioners to solve the
problem. The commissioners, after
investigation, concluded that it would
Be useless to reclaim the road, as nat
ural conditions are such that the
ground cannot be kept drained with
any degree of assurance. They are
seeking a route around the reservoir,
in order to avoid similar difficulties
in the future.
The presence of so much water in
this spot which has been perfectly
dry for 15 years is merely another
evidence of the abundant rainfall that
has visited this section this year. II
also indicates that plenty Of. water is
still stored to care for all irrigation
