Eight Inches more water Is now in the snow-pack at Crater Lake than at this time last year, This was the finding of R. A Work and W. T. Frost, both of the Soil Conservation Service and Oregon Agricultural Experi ment Station, while making the regular monthly snow surveys in the Crater Lake area. The trip was made in and out of the park in record time by means of the Tucker Sno-cat which enabled the crew to travel the 16 miles from snow line to Park Headquarters in two hours time. The importance of determ ining the water content of the snow rather than measuring the depth only is clearly shown by the fact that the water content of the park snows has increased one inch during the past month while the snow depth has de creased nearly 30 inches. Snow surveys made at Annie Spring this month showed a wa ter content of 37.2 inches as com pared with 36.1 inches last month. Snow depth at this sta tlon is now 84.9 inches as com pared with 113.8 inches meas ured last month. SGT: LLOYD ALBERN OUT OF NAZI CAMP Sgt.
