Oregon's Drouth
Area Spreading,
Report Reveals
PORTLAND, Aug. 14 (V) Oregon's
drouth area Is spreading, even as the
state emergency relief committee
speeds Its facilities and spends thou
sands of dollars to save feed and for
age and to provide water for thou
sands of thirsty sheep and cattle.
Nine of the state's 36 counties havo
now been listed as drought areas
three as emergency, and six as sec
ondary regions.
Nearly 300 mon, formerly on tho
state relief rolls, havo been given
work In the affected counties, de
veloping springs and drilling wells so
that water may bo provided for
parched lands and for thirsty live
stock. In Harney county 70 men are em
ployed on the water projects; Mal
heur has 45, Grant has 40, Lake 30,
Crook 28, Wheeler 24, Jefferson 18,
Wn.sc o 12, and Umatilla six men at
work.
Tho roltof committee survey Indi
cated that a cyclo at somo eight years
of eub-normal precipitation In Cen
tral and Eastern Orogon resulted In
the serious lack of water. This situa
tion had to be mot immediately by
tho drilling of wells and tho develop
ment of springs which livestock, wild
to slako their thirst, had trampled
down and ruined.

Under tho new plan, the approxi

Central (8 grades), 405 pupils, 13

Rlvcrla school ( 8 grades ) , 241
pupils, eight teachers, averago 30

Greenwood school (B grades), 358
pupils, 12 teachers, average 20 pupils
per teacher.
Willow school (4 grades), 89 pupils,
three teachers, average 20 plus pupils
per teacher.
Transfer of the fifth and sixth
graders from tho Willow district to
tho Greenwood school was made pos
sible by the fact that alrondy there

pupils In tho Greenwood area to ro
quiro two teachers for each grade,
but not a sufficient number to bring

Not counting the boys and girls
from the Willow vicinity, there would
be approximately 40 fifth graders and
51 sixth graders at Greenwood, mak

teachers of 24.5 pupils and for tho
sixth grade teachers 25.5 pupils. Addi
tion of 14 fifth graders from Willow
