Water Supply
Outlook Bleak
Heavy March storms improved
conditions slightly, but the outlook
lor water supplies in the Uinpqua
and Rogue basins during next sum
mer's irrigation season is only
"fair."
Forecasts of streamflow include
these:
North Umpqua River below Lake
Creek, 77 per cent of average.
Clearwater River, 71 per cent of
average.
No forecast is made of the South
Umpqua River or its tributaries.
The estimates were made by W.
T. Frost, Portland, snow survey su
pervisor for the Soil Conservation
Service. Oregon Agricultural Ex
periment Station and the state en
gineer. F'rost said the water content of
the mountain snowpack is 71 per
cent of the 15-year average in
Southwest Oregon. Warm rain
storms in March wiped out much
of the low-elevation snow and add
ed to the snowpack only at high
elevations.
The outlook is better than last
year's record, however. Frost said
the snowpack as of April 1 was
130 per cent of last year on that
date.
Watershed soils still are- onlv
partially "primed," Frost said, and
will absorb some of the remaining
snow-melt water, reducing the to
tal water supply available for ir
rigation. Grand water will be re
duced this season.
Flows of smaller streams will be
much below average and late sea
son flow will taper off much ear
lier than usual.
Stored water supplies in the
Rogue area are below average and
only about two-thirds that, of last
vear due to reduced midwinter
flow and lack of carryover sup
plies from last year.

Divers End
River Hunt
Boat patrols will continue but
diving will cease along the North
Umpqua River as the search for a
16 year-old Roseburg boy, believed
drowned, moves into its second
week.
This was the word issued by (he
Douglas County sheriff's office this
morning.
Saturday searching failed to ade
anything to the story which began
last Monday when Gary Tallon is
believed to have plunged into the
48-degree water near the Roseburg
Country Club.
The Douglas Pelicans, a diving
club which meets in Winston, bol
stered the searching crew Satur
day, but could find nothing, a sher
iff's deputy stated.
The divers also employed a high
powered underwater lantern but
visibility still was limited, it was
reported. Murky waters have ham
pered the search since it began,
deputies stated.
A sheriff's department boat pa
trol will continue to operate along
the river this week from Cleveland
Rapids upstream to the vicinity of
the country club.
Other 'mats are expected to
search other areas farther down
stream, the sheriff's office report
ed. The Danish court said King Fred
enk IX had another engagement
that conflicted with the -May 6
ceremony.
"I come regretfully to the con
clusion that the royal houses of
Europe are boycotting Princess
.Margaret for reasons other than
mere inconvenience, prior engage

Herald columnist Henry Fielding.
Irked at rumors that Scandi
navian royally were not going to
the wedding because Margaret's
fiance. Antony Armstrong-Jnnes,
1 1 a commoner, the London Daily
Express thundered: "The haughti
ness of the Scandinavians mere-

come to the wedding, they will

are seeking a share of the late

Beverly's mother, Florence
Aadland, was in a hospital being
treated for what she says are rib
injuries inflicted by Stanciu an
accusation denied by the dead
youth's brother. She said the
youth attacked her April 3 be
cause she tried to break up his
romance with Beverly.
Kenneth said Stanciu "back
handed her once after she slugged
him."
When told about his death, Mrs.
Aadland said: "I'm sick about it.
Since I've been at the hospital, he
(Stanciu) came down and apolo
gized. He said he'd never hit a
woman before in his life and al
most cried. I told him bygones
were bygones, to forget about it."
Mrs. Aadland said she would
fight any move to challenge her
custody of Beverly. "I don't see
why they would want to take baby
from me. I've been a good mother
all the time. I've kept a strict
eye on Beverly," she said.
