2 Thi Newt-Review, Roteburj, Oft. Tu., Apr. 5, 1955 Water Prospects Good InUmpqua River Basin, Snow Survey Discloses GRANTS PASS W Many Southern Oregon farmers face a water shortage this year, fore casters said Monday at the annual water forecast meeting here. Those having stored irrigation water may skim by, but shortages are probable for those depending on natural stream flow, the farm ers were told. As elsewhere In Oregon, a lack of precipitation last fall and winter and dry soil underneath the present snow pack makes the shortage probable. . , W. T. Frost, snow survey leader, and Larry Zimmerman of the Weather Bureau River Forecast Center at Portland, reported one exception U the dry soil condi tioned. This is in the ptimice and volcanic soils of the Umpqua River Basin. The land there is still hold ing water, from the recent wet years, and underground water sup plies are holding up well, they said. Frost noted that the snow cover in the Rogue Basin is 79 per cent of normal, in the Umpqua Basin It Is slightly above average. A fast runoff is indicated, for the usual ice layers are lacking, Frost said. The North Umpqua, measured below Lake Creek, is expected to carry about 150,000 acre-feet of water, compared with ttie 10-year average of 178,000. The experts noted that th; average of the past 10 years was wetter than the long-term average. TTiey said the long-term average for the North Umpqua at that point was about 153,000 acre-feet. Farmers depending on reservoirs for irrigation water were advised to get by as long as they can in the spring before drawing on the reservoirs. Compromise Bill On Billboards Given To House By PAUL W. HARVEY JR. SALEM HI A compromise bill to regulate billboards on highways was prepared Tuesday by the High way Committee of the Oregon House ot Kepresenttuvns.

On througbways, the signs would be 750 feet apart, and would only be allowed within 2Vi miles of an access point. - The bill would be enforced by the state labor commissioner, and companies which now have signs woun nave live years to com nip The bin also would set up sign standards, the purpose being to nave oniy neat ana attractive signs. Rep. George Annala. Hood Riv er, chairman of the subcommittee that drafted the bill, said one seg ment of the billboard industry slill is dissatisfied, "The billboard industry," he said, "has agreed to do two-thirds of the policing. If they don't, the next immature could, get tougher wiai .

COP Advancing In Michigan Vote DETROIT Wl A sudden lale surge of Republican votes rs versed Michigan's election trend Tuesday, holding off what ap peared at one time to be a virtual Democratic sweep and leaving the final outcome in doubt.

Oth ers were cutting into Democrats' leads. Earlier it appeared that Gov. G.

The upstate late voles pushed Republican incumbent Dr. Clair L. Taylor into the lead for state superintendent of public instruction.
