The well, while it will sup ply sufficient water for household use, does not supply sufficient for industrial purposes at Silverton, and when the storm of a week ago forced logs and other debris through the 26-year-old dam, the large supply for Silverton was di verted from the system down the creek. City officials as well as a group of Silver Falls Timber company men worked steadily on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday in installing the engines and making other necessary arrangements for the new method of pumping. It was believed that the dam itself would be repaired as soon as feas ible following the loweringjof the water. The water in the city reservoir, which had dropped six feet im mediately following the breakage in the dam, was pumped up to al most normal height by Saturday night.
