Moro. Oregon Friday Seventy Fifth Year No. 15 These Things We Note Giles L. French January Drv, Cold Sherman Has That Almost Became Winning Weekend Driesst Ever Here January* was as dry a January as we’ve reported for years. Only nine have been drier, one bring ing but .31 inch, back In 1939. Last year the precipitation was but .441. This year January gave up .78 inch of rain anil snow’ and .50 of that was on the 31st, just in time to keep the 1963 January from being the driest. It was .97 inch below the normal. For the crop year the total rainfall is now 6.82 and that is but .02 below’ normal so no par ticular harm has been done to date. Highest temperature was 49 on the 4th and the lowest minus 6 on the 12th which is really a lit tle cold for we can expect 53 and 5. The monthly mean was 27 and that is 3.1 below the normal tem perature. The wind blew pretty well on the 24th when it got up to 24 MPH but the 18th was the wind iest with 216 miles oi it. The snowfall measured 7H inches in January, a little light for the av erage is 9.4 inches. County Official Paper February s, UM»! Snow Runs Off With Little Damage To Frozen Fields, Crops With 2 Victories Sherman over whelmed the Grant Union Prospectors in their second match of the season with a 74-42 triumph on the Huskie home court, February 1 After a close first quarter, end ing 16-15 in the Huskie s favor, Sherman broke the game wide open to take a 14 point lead at half time. The Huskies contin ued their attack in the second half by adding 39 points to their half time mark. The crow d went wild in the final minutes as the home team added 15 points to thteir season high score of 59, the final score against both Steven son, 59-51 and Grant Union 59- 58. Johnson’s 18 points and Kell ogg’s 16 points were high for the game. The Huskies made 61.5 per cent of their shots from the foul line, 15 of the 16 came in the fourth quarter Scoring: Allen 4; Bayer 5; Bish 8; Blagg 6; Doolin 4; Fields 4; Johnson 18; Kellogg 16; Lane 6; Rayon 3.

As for the ground hog he was entirely frustrated on Saturday morning. It was cloudy and a bit foggy and unpleasant enough for any ground hog and to clinch the matter for any follower of popu lar superstition there was no glimmer of sun all day. It was pretty warm In the south end of the county Saturday and roads were dear until night brought a little frost. The snow ran off down Grass Valley can yon, flooding the Dunlap motel cabins and almost getting into the Grass Valley confectionery on the way. Bridges across Grass Valley canyon had a full head of water under them. South of Nigger ridge the run off was Saturday and Sunday. North of the ridge it was Sunday and Mon day and in the Barnum canyon watershed the run off was not heavy and did little damage Tiie fields are not washed l»adly as farmers expected them to l»e with seven or eight inches of snow going off in two days on frozen ground. Some of it must have found a way into the earth. More damage was done to the roads, apparently, for there are several places where graveled roads are damaged. Since Sunday it has been warm with little rain storms coming across the country nearly every day., First DeGaulle and now Diefen baker make themselves such won derful enemies; they can be dep ended upon to make serious mis takes.
