Burdick, Administrative Assist- ant with the Forest Service, who visited the district yesterday. He said the Forest Service footbridge over the outlet ‘of the’ lake had been washed out and the jake rose, approximately seven feet. The road to the rifle range was still sub- merged yesterday under several feet of water in some places and the site which had been chosen for the skaters’ cabin was flooded, making it necessary to abandon the work. Nugget Creek, which changed its course a few weeks ago as the re- sult of glacier movement, now feeds making an unhappy situation as the stream carries a large amount of silt which will cause the lake to fill up in time. e FLIGHT TO INTERIOR BE MADE WEDNESDAY Lyman S.
