(AP Wlrcphoto) South Oregon Prospects for Irrigation Fair GRANTS PASS UP) Southern Oregon irrigation prospccLs tor this summer arc only lair despite heavy March rains. W. T. Frost, Oregon snow sur vey supervisor for the Soil Con servation Service and the Oregon State College experiment station, made this report here Friday in the tenth of a series of water fore cast meetings in the state. Re maining now is a Columbia Basin forecast, scheduled at Portland, March 12. Summer irrigation supplies were boosted by the March rains, which delayed farm and orchard work in the Rogue and Umpqua valleys. Frost reported the mountain mow pack in the Rogue Basin was 79 per cent of normal and the pack in the Umpqua Basin was 62 per cent of average. Some shortages will develop late In the summer and reservoirs will have little or no water left to car ry over into the fall, Frost said. Farm and Irrigation spokesmen warned that unless May rains are heavier than normal, stream flows probably will taper off earlier than usual. All storage reservoirs of. the Medford Irrigation District are full from an early runoff, but Manager Jack Hoffbuhr said the drawing of water from this probably would have to start by June 1, around 15 days earlier than last year. Both Fish Lake and Fourmlle reservoirs ended last season with food carryovers, but Hoffbuhr said they would be almost depleted by the end of this year s irrigation season. Ike Takes Trip At Slow Speed By MARVIN L. ARROWSMITII GETTYSBURG, Pa. Wl Pres ident Eisenhower took it easy .at his farm today after the slowest paced trip he ever made by auto mobile from Washington. The President and his wife tra veled (lie H4 miles from the White House yesterday in two hours and IS minutes, moving at a soccd which never exceeded the posted legal limits. That was quite a contrast to (lie pace a week earlier. On March 2!i Eisenhower zipped along at speeds up lo 75 miles an hour along a roulc where the maximum permit ted is 55 miles. He made it to his farm that day in one hour and 45 minutes. Newsmen traveling behind him then were (lagged down by police who said the newsmen bad been going CO miles an hour in a 25 mile zone. Last Wednesday Eisenhower told a news conference ho had or dered his Secret Service driver to be "particularly careful not to ex ceed the speed limit at any place" from then on. Dam Delivers First Power THE DALLES ur - The Dalles Dam Friday generated its tirst power. The power came from a 3.000 kilowatt generator. This power, plus that from a second generator which will go into operation Mon day, will supply the power needs for the dam itself, including oper ation of spillway gales, locks and elevators, and will replace most of the power previously purchased from the Pacilic Power and Light Co. Two 13,500-kilowalt generators, run by water in the dam's fish collecting system, will go into op eration at the end o( April. This power will be led into the North '.west power pool.
