While the figures on the snow
fall in Montana during the month

enough reports have been receiv-
ed TO make certain that the total
precipitation from October |,
1885 10 March /, 1886, covering
a five month period will be above
normal.
w. z. Vaughan, rnetero'ogiat
Of the United States weather bu-

safely said that over the greater
portion OF Montana this is assur-
ed.
The state went through q Sc
we're drought spell during the last

l.6 incres below normal. In Do
cember the situation was worse.
The snowfall was only 3.4 in

ferent story. The snowfall for

total for the four months up to
"a inches compared with a nor
NAL for those four months of

His prompt rescue saved them
from a serious fate and perhaps

SIXTY ENGINEERS
MAKING SURVEY

sa
Shortage of crops in the middle
west as result of the devastating
drought may spur the next congress
in approving money for construction
of two great canals that will irrigate
millions of acres of arid land, it was
believed Friday by officials of the
Columbia Basin commission.
AT the present time more than so
engineers, stationed at the dam and
at Ephrata, are making a survey of
the land which will ultimately be ir-
rigated by these canals. The survey
probably will cost approximately a
million dollars, officials said.
