Express Rates Upped By Government Group Washington. Mar. 11 A 10 per cent increase in Railway Ex Dress agency rates throughout the country was authorized Fri day bv the interstate commerce commission.

The increase Is effective on not less than 30 days notice to the general public. Commissioner J.

CHENAULT f"1 "'-(f teg up F irrigation Water In Rogue Basin To Be Good In 1950 Rogue River basin irrigation water prospects are good for this season of the year except for pos sible late season shortages in the Talent district and Applegate valley, W. T. Frost, hydraulic engineer here for the federal state cooperative snow survey, said yesterday. The estimates, based on de tailed snow surveys, were re ported by the soil conservation service in cooperation with the uregon agricultural experiment station and the state engineer. According to Frost, thev assume normal weather conditions dur ing the March-June period. Final forecasts will be issued on April 7. Supply Assured Here According to the report, satis factory water supply is assured for the Medford and Rogue River Irrigation districts it weather continues normal. Fourmile lake now holds 7,300 acre feet of water and probably will accumulate another 7,200 in the spring and summer period. Fish lake has 4,700 acre feet and additional inflow of 14,5000 is an ticipated. This will make about 34,000 acre feet available from the two sources. Talent Irrigation district pros pects are only slightly less sat isfactory, Frost said. Hiatt lnke has 4,100 feet with expected in flow of 5,800 to come. Emigrant reservoir will fill to an estimated 8.200 and the two reservoirs will store a total of about 18,000, slightly less than the average re quirement. June rains are impor ant, Frost reported, since they de termine when reservoired water will have to be tapped. Late Shortage Possible Illinois and Applegate valleys are said to have good snowcover on watersheds and water supplies should be satisfactory except for late season shortage for late water rights on the Applegate river. Frost stated that the Grants Pass Irrigation district can ex pect a good water year about like lhat of 1948. There probably will be no need for canal alteration sine ethe low flow of Rogue river at Grants Pass is not expected to drop below a minimum of 900 cubic feet per second. Fifty per cent of new houses are being bought by families with incomes of $2,000 to $4,000. Oh Your Favorite Fountain and Grocer Has Fiesta For You!
