WILL HALT WASTE The Metl.ord Irrigation District, in accordance with a water con servation policy is installing steel gates throughout its system. In the past month 34 steel gales have been put in place, and 14 more are ready for installation. All the wooden gates of the district will be replaced with steel gates as fast as finances will permit, and it is expected to have tho entire system "steel-gated" by next summer. The steel jcates are water-tight and arc operated with a wheel and screw lift device. The lifo of a wooden gate is obout six years, and a steel gato is practically eternal. Manager K. J. Leach of the Med ford district says the steel gates will pay Xor themselves through saving water. Manager Leach says that in six months tho average leaky wooden gate will lose sufficient water to irrigate 4.5 acres for a season to the full- allowance, valued at $10.16 per acre foot. Ho asserts a leaky gate loses .02 of a cubic foot per second, or 7.1 a. m. for a season. At the going irrigation raes this amounts to $72.19, or more than enough to pay for the steel gate a couple of times. Besides the above loss, there is the loss of land from seepage, the los.s of revenue from water-logged land, and cost or extra labor to re pair the wooden gates and clean the ditches. 1 ami an interesting program Is be ing planned under the leadership of the new radio artist, Don Col lier. .. The toys placed on tho Lions' tree will be donated to the Lion Ladies for their Christmas boxe. A vote .or tlmnKs was aUo ex tended Jim Grieve and his Pros pectors, station KMKI), and all lo cal artists who participated in the TlKvnklvlng program broadcast for tho benefit of the toy solici tation. Lion J1. T- Hubbard gave a short talk on the Christmas campaign, informing the members that the Lady Lions started wrapping and marking toys for distribution to day. A letter from Earl Davis, who Is now living in Los Angeles, was re.ad by Lion Marc Jarmin. Busi ness Is bad in southern California, according to Lion Davis, and the Rogue River valley is still his fav orite location. All members of tho club were urged by Lion Allen Hmith to at tend the community ball to be hold at Oriental Gardens Satur day evening for the benefit of the community chest fund. The musical program for to day's luncheon included two num bers by the popular Crews Mistors and several seleetioiis-by the Wake field sisters of Jacksonville, all were followed by much applause.
