-As long as the reservoir continues to gain, water used for irrigation, out of the lake. is not charged to the storage apportionment of the farmers of the valley. In consequence of the heavy rains of last month and the rise in reservoir water. it is the opinion of the water service department of the reclamation service that there will be no charges made against the half acre foot apportionments until the time of the heavy spring irrigations.
 The spring season will start early this year, or about March first In spite of the fact that no water has been used for three weeks. the valley is not in need or irrigating, The long soaking rains wet the soil deeply. anu made irrigation unnecessary. And be- sides. water was cut out of the south side canals all during December, and now, for the month of January. is be- ing turned out of the northside ditches. Repair work is progressing rapidly on this side of the river.
 The run off from the rain and snow of last month. continues to add a daily gain to the reservoir height Already. the lake has gained over the 200.000 acre feet of flood water predicted at the time of the record gain shortly after the middle of December Yester- days gain dropped below two thousand due to the fact that it has turned very cold in the high valleys. An abundant snow supply is on the ground and with the coming os warmer weather will again send the yelowing freshets roaring down the Salt and Tonto rivers

LONDON. Jan. 1.-Two of three Turkish columns which invaded the Russian Caucasus last week met with disaster and the troops not killed nr captured are in disorderly retreat pur- sued by the Russians. The column which took Ardahan two days ago was driven out of that town. according to Petroerad official dispatches and is al most surrounded bv the Russians who hold the main roads.
 Another column which crossed the frontier near Sari Kamysh. on the road to Kars. suffered even worse defeat, one of the two army corps which com posed il being captured in it's entirety.
 The Russians also report another victory over the Austrians in the tz- sok Pass of the Carpathians. The Austrians here are said to be in full retreat with a violent snowstorm rag ing. Military men look for bigger events between the lower Nistula and the East Prussian frontier.
 Rv forcing the I+zsok Pass. the Rus sians gain control of some of the most valuable oil fields of the Austrian enl~ pire. and thus shut off another of the sources of fuel supply which the Aus tro- -Germaf armies are said to be much in need of. This however. has only been part of the Russian attack. Wmle forcing back the Turks and Austrlans, the Russian troops holding the line oi the Mazurian lakes in East Prussia, are fighting srenuously to withstand the German offensive in North Poland; are advancing towards CraWcow and have closed to Bukowina, which Is now virtually in their possession
 Ia North Poland, where Russia Is confronted with a most serious task, the weather is proving useful ally The Germans according to all accounts are making only slow progress with their offensive operations, while the Russians. an unofficial dispatch from Berlin says. are advancing toward Cracow. and Southern Silesia.
 The Russians are now in possession of the greater part of the intervening territory between the lower Nistula, and the East Prussian frontier and un- less engaged when the river freezes, would fall on the German flank to the south of the Nistula.
 Ii i, believed here, therefore. the Germans are planning movement from Thorn. in East Prussia, in an ef- fort to prevent this action, as the flsht- ing would take place in the open and Would afford contrast to the trench warfare which prevails along the rest of the front.
 Except at the two extreme wings on the Belgian coast and in upper Alsace where the allies gained some ground the fiehting on the western front mas been done by sappers, miners and the artillery. From the coast to the SWISS border. troops either have been en- gagged in sheling opposite trenches or trying to sap and mine them. Only al isolated points has the infantry been given it's opportunity.
 Great interest is attached to the op- erations of the French in upper Al sace. The capture of Steinbach was accomplished after almost spperhuman efforts as the Germans had strongly sntrenched themselves. Now the French are attempting to force their way
