A Bright Nole! Application Filed For Bear Creek Watershed Rogue Soil Conservation dis trict directors today announced the filing of an application with the state engineer for technical assistance in developing a work plan for the proposed Bear Creek Watershed project. From the engineer's office, the watershed application will be submitted for review by the Soil Conservation service, the fed eral agency assigned to head up the nation's small watershed program, known as P.L. 566. High Toll The rampaging stream has racked up nearly a SI million toll in damages to farmlands, property and utilities in the Ash land, Medford, Central Point and adjacent areas the lust two years. Watershed construction work completed over the next five years, would be financed under a local-state-federal partnership. cost-sharing arrangement, with the U. S. Department of Agricul ture picking up the full tab for flood prevention phases of the flood works. This cost, the water shed sponsors explain, cannot be estimated until the project's Returns Home Mrs. George R. Carter, 821 East Jackson ave., Medford, re turned from a 6-weeks visit last week to New Haven, Conn., where she visited her son, Dr. M. G. Carter, and his family On her return home she spent several days visiting relatives in San Francisco. so that neither leg nor princess slip is exposed. As for hemlines, the daytime lengths are the same as last year. For dressy occasions, some costumes reach the ankles or the floor, fitted neatly to the figure all the way down. But there are plenty of cocktail and evening dresses with uneven hems, some of them short as a daytime dress in front and cut to fall just a little lower, thanks to a fan-like inset, at the back. Or some go all the way to the floor at the back. Others also feature the wrapped skirt, draped much like an Indian sari to leave walking room. Here are some other trends you will want to watch when you're doing fall and winter shopping: "Regal" silks and satins in evening wear, showing the in fluence of the forthcoming visit of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip. Plenty of trim-fur, beads, buttons and bows on every thing from sweater to evening dress. The bias cut in sheer wools and silk crepes, a cut which the late French designer Vionnet made famous. The sailor influence, with the middy over-blouses used in both daytime and evening cos tumes. . Suit collars that are flat, and standing away from the neck to leave room for neck laces. Suits with bracelet length sleeve, ending just a few inches short of the wrist. No shoulder padding: most coat and suit shoulders drape to the natural figure. Ui R e-jf In, nr. fpfli1 .

Rogue district leaders say the Bear Creek proposal is being supported by many local agencies and organizations in cluding Rogue SCD, Oregon Game commission, Oregon Water Resources board, the city coun cils of Medford. Ashland, Jack sonville and Central Point. Jack son county chapter Izaak Walton League, Ashland chapter Izaak Walton League. Rogue River Flood Control association, Med ford Irrigation district, Rogue River Valley Irrigation district, and League of Women Voters. The U. S. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management, with sizable areas in the water shed are expected to develop land treatment measures in the upper reaches of the watershed in event the project receives top level approval in Washington, D.C. 235.000 Acres Bear creek, a tributary of the Rogue, has a watershed of some 235,000 acres in Jackson county, and is served by four farmer voted groups; Rogue Soil Con servation district, and Talent, Rogue Valley and Medford irri gation districts. Public lands in the watershed include Bureau of Land Management, 21,365 acres, and National Forest, 22,610 acres. In addition, there are small acreages of state-owned lands. Bear creek has a long record as a renegade flood stream. County Engineer Paul Rynning reports that the February; 1956. flood damaged 250 homes, caused losses of $200,000 to irrigation systems and facilities and around S80.000 to roads and bridges. The city of Medford alone spent to repair flood damage. Undetermined damages were suf fered by Ashland, Talent and Central Point. Engineers' Estimate The Corps of Engineers esti mates that the 1955 Bear creek flood caused damages of $121. 340 to agriculture; S2.310, resi dences; $34,700, utilities, rail roads, highways and roads, and $41,560 to flood control and irri gation works. As one of the main Rogue trib utaries above the mouth of the Applegate river, Bear creek flooding caused scouring eand pollution which damaged the famous Rogue river fishery of salmon and steeihead. It is esti mated too, that the 1955 Rogue river flood destroyed close to $300,000 worth of chinook and salmon. Flood specialists point out that Bear creek's extra heavy flood flow in Medford would have caused more serious damage had not the stream been extensively improved shortly before the overflow. Bear creek high water also chalked up considerable damage in 1953, 1948. 1943 and 1940. One of the most devastating floods swept down on Medford on Feb. 27, 1927 when the flow reached 10,200 cubic feet per second. Severe Erosion Bear creek watershed studies show that thousands of acres of McLEOD Couple Married In Reno By MRS. CAROLINE HARDING McLeod The former Miss Nancy Darrohn and Lee Malloy were married in Reno June 24, and are now living in Prospect. Mrs. Malloy is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Darrohn, who live on Butte creek. Mrs. Lewis Dussenberry and twin sons, Lan and Jan, and Mrs. Arthur Hume and twin daughters, Jacqueline and Jose phine, had a picnic and swim ming party on Big Butte creek Friday, July 5.

Several thousand acres of farm land adjacent to the stream and three of its major tributaries, Griffin, Jackson and Willow creeks, were damaged in the 1955 and 1956 floods. The 1955 and 1958 floods also washed many acres of fruit trees and with the seasonal flood threat, orchardists have become reluctant to replace them on lands adjacent to the creek. ' Aims of Program By reducing the frequency of Bear creek floods, the watershed sponsors hope to cut down sheet, gully and stream bank erosion on farm, grazing and timber lands, sedimentation on farms, roads and streams and damage to roads, bridges, business and residential property, plus pollu tion of water supplies. Other benefits accruing from the watershed undertaking add up to more water for Talent, Phoenix and Ashland municipal supplies, and stabilization of ir rigation water supplies. wildlife gams. too. as plans shape up. Maintaining water high in watershed areas would provide late season flows, thus increasing the productive poten tial for salmon and trout. Step ping up summer stream flows would lower water temperatures. reduce scouring of gravel bars and stream bottom, and prevent loss of fish through stranding. Specialists note too that main tenance of a higher water table would produce more permanent springs and streams, benefiting all forms of wildlife. District Chairman C. W. (Chet) Jensen comment ed, "We launched our watershed project with the full backing of many organizations and local leaders. We know of no active opposition to the proposal. Local people seem willing to set up tax-levying districts to raise their share of easements, rights-of-way and maintenance costs. Just about everyone agrees that it's high time that something was done about stopping those Bear creek floods." J V f-.m I M"i'v M 1 liM i man -v- Don't Say "Hello" Say "FILTER-FLO" IN!
