Weather Bureau To Study
Where The Water All Goes

feet above sea level with plenty OF
moisture spread on the land, and much
vegetation.
Wilcox or Cochise. At some sta
tions situated in the lower mountain
regions Of the southeast of the state,
il is proposed to establish a station
for the study of evaporation under
conditions similar to those obtaining
in most of the dry farm and fruit dis
tricts of the state.
Snowflake. \ fourth installation is
proposed at an elevation of some 1000
feet above the sea. This one may he
nut in at or near Snowflake in the
White Mountains. The evaporation
study there would be largely TO check
up on snowfall data.
For the past year The Republican
has chronicled the work of the
weather bureau in establishing snow
fail stations in the heights from
which water flows for the Roosevelt
reservoir. During the same year. and
by the aid of sentiment stirred up by
this journal Mr. Briggs has also been
able to complete one OF the most com
prehensiye systems Of weather study
ever conceived. in the numerous sta
tions throughout the valley. All this
