The weather bureau in its Novem-
Der report of snowfall in elevated re-
gions records less than the normal
on the South Platte water
shed, and on the Arkansas watershed
except in Chaffee and in parts of Lake
county. More than the normal fall oc-
cured on the Rio Gfande watershed,
except in the Culebra range, in the
southeastern part of the drainage
area. On the western slope the snow
tall was greater than the normal,
and IN localities the excess was mark
ed. Notwithstanding the relatively
small amount on the eastern slope,
the average depths at the end of No
vember on the Arkansas and South
Platte watersheds were the greatest
in four years, and the same is true
OF the average depths for the Rio
Grande on the southern slope, and the
Grand, Gunnison, Yampa and San
Juan on the western slope.

pleased to call the prohibition law
enforcement campaign in Boulder
Tuesday night. The governor spoke
before approximately 200 business
men urging the enforcement of the
prohibition law. He recently announc-
ed that it was his intention TO stump
the entire state to create public
sentiment that will support the prose
cution Of those who violate the pro-
hibition laws and his speech in Bould-
err is the beginning oil that campaign.
Among other things, he said: IF a
citizen saw a man pick the pocket
of another citizen, or saw horse
thief stealing a horse he would rush
to the first telephone and inform the
authorities or, upon learning that u
case of that kind was on trial he
would give what information he had
to the prosecuting attorney and will
ingly appear as witness. Taking
the above as a position, Governor
Carlson argued that the same support
should be given the authorities in the
prosecution of those who violate the
liquor laws. The governor urged edu-
cational meetings for the creation of
more sound public sentiment.
