Is that that Is a long time to be

Water; snow at Rock Creek
According to W. C. Bertsch, chief
operator of the Rock creek power
plant there is now 278 inches of
water in the stream flow taken at
the headgate of tho Eastern Oregon
Light and Power company on Rock
creek. At this time last year Mr.
Bertsch savs there was . nnlv inn
I inches. There Is now about one
third more.
Feb. 28 and 29 of this year u rain
fell at the plant which started a
stream flow of 300 Inches, continu
ing for the first week of March.
, The weather period has been much
colder and tho creek has dropped to
the above number of inches at this
date.
I For the six months period ending
reo. 29, 1931-32, lncludlna tho.
months of September, October, No
vember, December, January and
February records show that there
has been 13 inches of precipita
tion, an excess of 754 Inches over
the same period of 1930 and 1931.
This Is taken from the regular
weather report which is sent from
the plant to the Portland weather
bureau. There Is now 36 Inches of
snow at the plant on Rock creek,
which compares with 12 Inches at
this time a year ago. Mr. Bertsch
says that with no frost in the ground
the run-off Is being taken up.
Farmers were able to' begin their
spring work last year by the 18th
of March. This year they will be do
ing well if. they get started.. by April
a,. Path wheels and bobsleds are , used
for means of travel at this time In
tho Rock Creek-Muddy Creek com
munity. Severe
Weather
In Wallowa.
Extremely severe weather during
past several nights In the Wallowa
vicinity has greatly delayed the melt
ing of the snow, which still covers
the ground to a considerable depth
ln all parts of that community,
writes G. C, Meek, correspondent.
Rapid thawing, Which took place
some 10 days ago, caused some of
the south slopes along the 2ow foot
hills to become practically bare of
snow. However, with some snow
squalls coming since that time, much
of this Is again covered several
Inches deep with new snow. With the
freezing continuing new grass is said
to be making a rather slow growth
and but little chance yet of getting
any of the stock off the feed yards.
Cattle Taken Out
Clay Boyd of lower valley started
for Mud creek the latter part of the
week with some of his cattle which
he expects to put on grass there.
Wert McQlnnls also took some of his
stock out at the same time, intend
ing to put a part of them on the
breaks and take some of his milk
cows to the ranch on Powwatka,
where they will be fed hay for a time
yet. Reports from tho Promise and
Powwatka sections state that many
of the nearby breaks are becoming
bare at this time, making it possible
to get much of the stock on grass.
The most of the stockmen of this
community feel that It is much too
early In the season to take chances
on taking the stock any great dis
tance to range, where they cannot be
looked after closely, because of the
danger of ticks becoming bad as soon
as the weather becomes a little
milder.
An Hauling Hay
i A number of fanners of the com
munity have been busy recently haul
ing hay td their farms which has
shipped in during the past few days
from outside points. A large part
of th-s hay received recently has been
chopped. In a number of Instances
this Is being fed in connection with
grain and Is said to be providing ex
cellent feed for cattle and sheep.
Some lcs;s of cattle and sheep
are reported by sorM of the farmers
at this time. The past winter ap
pears to have been an exceptionally
severe one -on old sheep. Many of
them have remained In fairly good
condition until the post two or three
weeks. Since that time they have
lost flesh rapidly, resulting ln rath
er heavy losses from some flocks.
Road conditions are beginning to get
quit:; bad and at a 'number of places
in the community at this time
sleighing is becoming thin and dirt
roads becoming quite deep In mud.
This makes travel with any kind of
rigs quite difficult.
Twenty-five boys ln a manual
training class at West Waterloo, Iowa,
