Water reserve blamed on creek diversions not neglect by intake
George W. French denies neglect by French Bros in charge of the intake for Dillon city water. He says shortages came from the creek being diverted to other users and that the intake remained clear. He notes reservoir dryness happened when creek flow dropped and warns the city to secure adequate water supply. Will F. Cashmore becomes county treasurer with Stevenson praised. M. K. Davidson reports activity in Dark Horse mining camp.
