SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Tuesday, July 22, 1952 Medford Irrigation Flume Breaks Monday Water in the main canal sup plying the Medford and Rogue Valley irrigation districts was halted temporarily Monday by a break in the Lake Creek flume, according to Jack Hoffbuhr, manager of the Medford district. The water was turned out at 5:30 a.m. Monday. Repairs were completed in about four hours and the water was turned in again. The Lake Creek flume is sup- Dorted by a wooden substruc ture where the break occurred. It is 30 years old and must soon be replaced, Hoffbuhr said. This is the third delay caused by the flume this season. li ill mi im -i vuifuw viiae itr bra t r- l fA $0$t$tm warn- -yj-. 1 ANOTHER "GREATEST SHOW" OPENS-General view of the International Amphitheater in Chicago as Democratic Party opened its convention to select presidential and vice presidential candidates.
