Jan. 30 and the senate late yes terday. Both votes were unin mous. As explained by Sen. Earl Newbry, the Eagle Point school district passed bonds for new construction of a school. Before the work was completed, there was a consolidation of several districts and the attorney gen eral's office ruled that the bond issue could not be completed. Since there was no controversy affecting the unique legal prob lem, the bill provided that the issue would be sold to permit completion of the school. Validity of the bill Is limited to two years and is an urgency measure to expedite the work. An amendment approved pro vided that the work cannot be finished in event the votes re call the consolidation action. Co-authors with Senator New bry were Reps. Frank Van Dyke and O. H. Bengtson.

SAYS IRK Water Supply, Snow Cover in State and Valley Below Normal, Report States. Oregon's 1945 water supply prospect ,as of this mid-winter date, is not good. Irrigated lands now having in sight good to "fair" water supplies are chief ly those served from reservoirs containing "hold - over" from 1944 run-off, says a report com piled from data by Arch Work, of the federal-state cooperative snow surveys and irrigation wa ter forecasts, in his first report. Mountain snow cover is now considerably below average on snow courses but three in Oregon. Above-normal snow ad ditions are needed during Feb ruary and March if normal stream flow is to be produced. If snowfall during the next two months is normal or less, gen erally below-normal stream flow during the irrigation season is expected. Most watershed soil is not frozen and whore frozen, is frozen only to . shallow depth. Water content of surface soil, as indicated by samples in southern Oregon only, appeared generally less than average in" early November. Total water stored in all reser voirs is 27 per cent less than of similar date last year, 41 per cent less than of this date in 1943, 34 per cent less than in 1942, and is 82 per cent of aver ago. The number of reservoirs half full or bettor is the least for several years and is less than average. Precipitation accumulated In Oregqn valleys since October 1 is considerably below normal The deficiency is nearly as great as for this same date in 1944, when accumulated valley pre cipitation was the least since 1937. Preliminary forecasts of April September stream flow, based on existing mountain snow cov er, and on the assumption that snow cover increase during Feb ruary and March will be aver age, prophesy a state-wide de ficiency of runoff. Greatest de ficiency is indicated for the Ap plcgate river and Hyatt Prairie reservoir watersheds in southern Oregon. The outlook for inflow to Ochoco and Crescent lake resevoirs is nearly as popr. Pros pects are relatively better else where in the state but still are far below-normal-run-off. OBITUARY WILLIAM S. JONES William Sherman Jones passed away Friday at a local hospital.
