MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON
Regional
Roundup
By Cleve Twitched
Regional Editor
If someone had told you
last all that it would be pos
sible to have a wet winter
and a dry winter at the same
time, would you have believ
ed it?
In terms of inches of pre
cipitation, this winter has
been quite wet. As of Satur
day, we had had 19.03 inches
since last Sept. 1, which is 6.S3
inches above normal for this
time of year, and almost
equals the normal for the en
tire season in this area.
On the other hand, we are
confronted by stories like the
following, in Friday's M-T,
"The Billie Creek snow sur
vey indicates the driest year
on record, according to a Med
ford Irrigation district report
today. Billie Creek snow pack
water content Feb. 1 measur
ed 1.9 inches compared to the
previous driest year of 1934
showing 7.8 inches of water
content. Records there go
back to 1929, irrigation dis
trict officials said . . ."
The above would appear to
be good material for a lecture
on the fact that two state
ments in apparent contradic
tion can often both be correct.
But we won't bother, except
to note that this winter dem
onstrates how complicated the
subject of water is. It can
rain heavily and still not help
the water needs of an area.
On the other hand a winter of
heavy snow and very little
rain might show up as below
normal in the precipitation
column, and yet provide
above normal supplies of irri
gation water.
Residents of drier parts of
the United States, like sdtith
ern California, are usually
shocked when they hear talk
of water shortages in Oregon,
where we have "so much"
rain. Actually the problem
here appears to be one of not
being able to tap all of the
water resources we do have.
The situation was perhaps best
summed up by the headline
of a Grants Pass Courier edi
torial Friday, "All This Rain
and No Water Saved."
Notoriety for John
We figured that Police
Chief John Atchison of Phoe
nix would be in for a little
notoriety as a result of the
incident in which he gave
himself a ticket for passing
a stopped school bus. And
Saturday we noticed that the
item had been carried by at
least one of the wire services.
We recall last year having
seen a Medford police park
ing ticket on an Oregon State
police car, but this is the first
time we've heard of an offi
cer ticketing himself.
