Most lands served chiefly from reservoirs have in sight, good to fair water supplies, the report says. Areas depending on unregulated stream flows have in prospect, fair to deficient supplies. Mountain snow cover con tinues below average, though the February snowfall was nearly normal. Snow cover above 3000 feet is about 12 per cent greater than that of a year ago, and approximately 80 per cent of normal.

Total water stored in princi pal Oregon irrigation reservoirs is only seven per cent less than JACKSON (km rot March 1 last year, and Is 84 per cent of the ten year average. Total storage now averages 46 per cent of capacity, and the number of reservoirs half full or better, is less than in the past years. Precipitation accumulated in Oregon valleys since October 1 lis 86 per cent of normal, as com pared with 72 per cent for last year, at this time. Preliminary forecasts of April- September stream flow, based on existing mountain snow cov er, and figuring the increase during March will be average, indicate a state-wide deficiency of run-off, the report shows. Greatest deficiencies in flow are foreseen ' for the Malhuer and Silvies rivers, Deep Creek in Warner valley, and for supply to Oclioco, Crescent Lake, and Hiatt Prairie reservoirs. Prospects are relatively better elsewhere in the state, but still are far below nor mal run-off. REV. KRING TO LEAD NAZARENE SERVICES The Hev. J. A.
