Local Flood Problem
Said 1 Well In Hand'
The flood situation in the Klam,
ath Basin is still critical, but "we
have the situation in hand." j.
Pitts Elmore project manager of
the Klamath 'Reclamation Project,
reported this morning.
At about 10:30 a.m., ne said mat

This mcairi, he said, that the
bureau would begin flooding Sump

gion sometime today; This sump
Is on tie leased land Just south
west of the main sump, and Is
commonly called Ihe Southwest
Sump. 4
He said that Sump Number
Three. 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.
U.8. 99 between Weed and Ga
zelle, south of Yreks, was closed
yesterday when a bridge was

I Henry Pickrell, California highway
f.upertntendent at Yreka.-the brldtra
