Irrigation District
Assured of Aid
By Interior Chief
Secretary of the Interior Oscar
Chapman has given assurance of
aid to the Medford irrigation dis
trict in the' possible reconstruc
tion of ita irrigation siphon
across Bear Creek and the Pa
cific highway near Phoenix, ac
cording to Jack Hoffbuhr, secre
tary of the district. ...
The district has sought Chap
man's aid in the job, which will
be made necessary by the widen
ing, work on the highway, to be
done by the State Highway Com
mission this year. The siphon, a
, big wood-stave pipe,- will have to
be moved. -Need
Bigger Pipe
Yesterday, with the news that
Chapman haa given the green
light for engineering-studies of
the modified plan for develop
ment of the Rogue River basin,
Hoffbuhr, said -that the district
has pointed out to Chapman that
it would be pointless to rebuild
the siphon the same size as it is
now, when, if the modified plan
i. parriMi out. it will have to
carry a much greater volume of
water. ,. . . . .
" Th assistance which the dis
trict would like from the De
partment of the Interior is bow
engineering and financial.
Assures Morse
Hoffbuhr said that Chapman,
in a recent communication to
Kpn Wavne Morse, said, in re
gard to the siphon project, that
it ia being brougnt to roe atten
tion of the Reclamation Bureau,
and "I can assure you that we
will do everything possible to ad
vise and assist the Medford Irri
Mtinn District."
The modified plan, among
other things, calls for an increase
in the storage facilities of the
Emigrant reservoir from 8.000
acre feetyto 46,000, and the irri
gation districts involved have
reached an agreement as to tne
distribution of the water, Hoff
buhr said.

Ashland Consideration of
plans to Invite several foreign
students to attend Southern
Oregon college next year will be
discussed tomorrow by the stu
dent council during Its regular
session.
Dr. John A. Schula. council

student program. Representa
tives of the Carnegie Endow
ment for International Peace and

can scholars study abroad.

council will debate advisability
of raising funds sufficient for
board and room to care for sev
eral foreign students here next
September. Request for assign
ment of such students would be
made to the Institute of Inter
national Education, Washington,

the Carnegie Endowment and

contention that Empire Air

tend Its route to Portland with a
brief filed with the Civil Aeron

recent exceptions taken by a

mending against extension of

route from Pendleton or Walla
Walla to Portland.
2. The extension of Empire's
route from Spokane to Portland
through Ephrata-Moses Lake,
