Just east of the main sump, probably would not be flooded to- day. . The flood situation was compll- cated yesterday by the breaking i ' one ' thl'ee private dams on the Lloyd Gift ranch in Langell Valley. This dumped about 1.000 acre feet of water into the already swollen Lost River system, accord ing to Gift's estimate. One acre foot of water contains 43.560 cubic feet. Elmore said he has been unable to either verify or disprove re-noi-is that the Crawford Dam near Hlldebrand has also broken, but siid he has heard "lots of rumors" about It. Elmore warned all livestock own ers to make sure their stock was not wandering in the vicinity of any of the flooding streams.. Meanwhile, the highway situation is improving. U.S. 97 and 99 into California are open and U.S. 99 is open north from Ashland to Portland, with some one-way sec tions on both routes, especially in the Sacramento River Canyon and between Medford and Grants Pass.
