Warner Sabees 318. Aug 4, 1932, All the lakes north of Heart Lake are dry. Heart & Crump are both low / Crump is full of Jull islands. Both were dry last year. A farmer on Crump Lake said this evening that pelicans used to be here in the thousands, that in the last few days he had seen several hundred in the narrows where club stayed last year in potholes which did not go dry. Mr. Kreible of Adel said Dr. Phill of Scio was here again this summer as he has done for 8-10 years. But he did not stay. He reported the pelican & gull colonies destroyed by coyotes. He was here sometime in May. As I drove past Crump Lake I saw 18 Western Grebes / Some of them may have been immature. Hundreds of young coots were in sight too. Kreible also reports a few pairs of Sandhill Cranes there. The water of these lakes is not taken for irrigation. They have gone dry because of drought. Kreible says this used to be great hunting country.
