preliminary estimate shows that the
percentage of water contained Is about
% per cent as against 36 per cent last
year, is the report OF Edward Jones,
assistant observer of the United States
weather bureau.
Mr.. Jones arrived home last night
from trip to Cottonwood to take
the snow measurement. He covered a
considerable area in taking the mea-
surement but was unable to proceed
above 5000 feet on account of light
snow. He found that the snow which
fell this winter was much lighter than
the snow of last winter and conse-
quently contains less water.
ROADS IN BAD SHAPE.
The roads up the river are exceed
ingly bad, states Mr.. Jones. Between
Cottonwood and Twin Springs they are
impossible. From Cottonwood to Ar
rowrock the road Is bad and in some
places drifts four feet deep were en-
countered in coming out yesterday,
which made travelling slow. In High
land valley the snow lays to an aver
age depth of two feet. He encounter
ed numerous snow slides up the riv-
er and in one gulch a slide where the
snow was piled at least so feet high.
From Cottonwood to Arrowrock, Mr..
Jones made the trip on web snow
shoes. covering the distance of 10 miles
in six hours. He found the softness
of the snow made shoeing difficult.
SCARCITY OF HAY.
Mr.. Jones learned that there was a
scarcity of hay above Cottonwood and
reports were that unless the weather
changed permitting the taking out of
stock, many head of cattle would likely
starve. Coming out Mr.. Jones saw

Purify rBloodandPut
Yourself in Good Shape

The necessity of being pre-
pared for any emergency is be-
ing forcibly impressed upon
sach and every individual. First
and foremost is the Importance
of having sound physical body,
of keeping yourself in prime
condition always, so as to be at
all times equipped to fight an
enemy that is ever threatening
the enemy of III Health.
This means that every assist
ance must be given to nature in
her effort to combat disease and
keep the system in proper CON
dition. And right now, as
spring approaches, nature needs
more. help than ever, for the
system needs thorough house
cleaning to get rid OF the &C
cumulated impurities and thus
avoid the dangerous fevers that
are so prevalent in spring and
summer.
You have doubtless felt the
need of a good tonic, though
you may not have recognized
the call that nature was making
in the form of loss of appetite,
lassitude, energy gone, and a
general " good for nothing !"
feeling that pervades your
whole body. Such symptoms
mean that the blood has become
sluggish, that the accumulated
impurities are clogging the cir
culatlon, and that a general i'm
pairment of your health is i'm
minent unless the proper correc-
tive steps are promptly taken.
There is absolutely no neces-

human love and passion ever told and

picture Is the novel as seen in dream
with all its wonderful moments mag
