JANUARY GOOD MONTH
FOR THE FARMERS
Three Inches Of Precipitation in Val.
ley and Great Deposits Of Snow In
the Mountains.

January has been one Of the best
months In years for the farmer be-
cause of the precipitation. over
three inches Of moisture has fallen
on the fields and probably three times
this amount in the mountains. This
insures soaking the ground up thoro-
ughly for spring blowing and plant
ing and piling up an abundant supply
in the mountains for summer use.
II all this moisture had been snow, II
would have been over two and one
half feet deep as an Inch Of rain
means the same as ten inches Of snow.
Following is detailed statement
of the maximum and minimum tenn
poratures and the precipitation for
the month. Holidays and Sundays
are included in the days following
in each case. The record is kept by
Postmaster Anderson.

Last Friday Byron Beck. who car

came near being lost In the storm
near Topliff. Because OF the deep
snow he was late in reaching Topliff
and with the darkness and binding
snow. he lost his road. He was be-
,ween the main line and the Topliff
'pur and kept trying to reach the
railroad and after FINELY finding him.
self he found that he had been track
ing in a circle. The men at the quarry
inspected that something was wrong
because of his non-arrival. made sew
eral fires on the railroad track which
finally attracted Mr.. Beck's attention
else he might have persisted In the
blizzard. The snow there Is two and
pne-half feet deep. He has been
making the trip for several days only
as far as Fairfield.

MUCH INCONVENIENCE
Sheepmen Are Feeding Corn and
Hay on the Desert and Dragging
Trails With Cedar Trees.

The deep snow is causing the old
timers to recount stories OF olden
days, for II Is years since SO much
fell, as is now laying on the ground.
The pheepmen are probably the most
concerned and are praying the hardest
for thaw. The dry grass on the
hill sides and the white sage In the
valleys, which form a large part OF
the winter forage. are completely COW
cred up. The only feed now available
Is the big black sage and when the
snow is two and two and half fee
deep. as 1t is now. II is most diff
cult for the sheep to get this kind
Of feed, as an ordinary sleeps legs
are only Is inches long.
1t has become necessary to cut
small cedar trees and drag them
trough the brush so that the sheep
can get to the feed. Some OF the
sheepmen are buying baled hay and
corn and shipping It out by the car
load. Ray Carson Of Fairfield, was in
Lehi early In the week for this pur-
pose. All the available baled hay has
been purchased, and the local dealers
have sold out OF corn. The hay is
scattered in flakes around among the
brush which answers two purposes.
feeding the sheep and to get them to
break trails among the brush.
John Mckinney and ID. r. Allen
have purchased all the available hay
at Mosida and are feeding their sheep
near that place. Mr.. Allen is also
shipping his hay in to Topliff where
he hauls It to the sheep near the state
well.

IT CAN'T Be DID"

Several Of our loyal citizens were
overheard on Main street one day this
week discussing the reports In ur
last issue about the opening OF minea
ia American Fork canyon, the extern
ton of the railroad to Saratoga and
the shipping Of sugar beets from Mos
ida to the Lehl factory. They were
expressing doubt about the consume
ton OF these enterprises, and a con-
densatlon OF the sentiments would
probably be sumed up In the words,
III can't be did"
These same individuals probably
lived in Lehi when the land over the
river could have been purchased for
$125 per acre. which could now be
sold for 500, because It Is irrigated
aud growing tons OF alfalfa per acre
than lands In the old fields. They
were here saying 1T cant be did"
when the lands along the foot hills
could be purchased for the same
price, but are now selling for $50,
because they grow 40 bushels OF wheat
per acre without irrigation. They
were here saying at can't be did"
when the alkali lands below town
could have been purchased for $40
per acre. but are now worth 500 per
acre. and will bring double this price
in few years hence. when they have
been properly drained.
Lchi Is the gateway to Mosida and
all the district intervening. II is the
gateway to Cedar Valley, only Just

be the chief beneficiary OF the new

sultlng from the opening OF the mines
In American Fork canyon.
In five years from now the value
OF agricultural products purchased in

were five years ago. because Of the
new irrigation plants recently opened
up.

patches from Nogales. Ariz., stating
that a Mexican giving the name of
Frank Martinez had been arrested
there on suspicion OF being the MOTOR

Arizona man resembled Lopez SO
much that several Of his most inti-
mate associates In Bingham canyon
declared them to resemble Lopez alb
solutely. excepting that his face was
thinner and some Of HIS hair had
fallen out, which could easily be the
case. The Arizona man Is said TO
have a small mole on his face by the
left side OF his nose. which mark is
said also to have been on Lopez. The
Salt Lake county sheriff has sent
for other descriptions. and II they tally
