ter.
At present the studies are of the
water level. A monthly check Is
made. Next irrigation season the
study will go deeper into a "paired
hole" system to determine how
pumping from one well will effect
the water level of another hole
nearby, how much drawdown of the
water level there is and generally
what the movement of underground
water is.
After the data is gathered over
year or more, the information
obtained is to be turned over to
experts of the Bureau to see whnt
questions Uie studies have answered.
The questions the Bureau would
like to have answered include:
How much underground water
supply is there? Does it all come
from precipitation, or how much is
from runoff of higher levels? How

Hayden said 40 lobbyists collect

$35,000 and $50,000; 22 between
$35,000 and $35,000 ; 21 between
$20,000 and $25,000; and 37 between
$15,000 and $20,000.
Asked by a reporter why he
made the survey, Hayden said "I !

Sleepy Boy
Still At It
LA GRANDE Lfl Lloyd A.
Chandler, 52, who started yawning
with the new year, is still at it.
He yawns every five minutes,
and is encouraged by that. Its a
big improvement from the early
days of January, when he was
yawning every two seconds.
He spent two weeks in a hospital,
just yawning, but then improved
enough to go home, still yawning
but not quite so fast.
Chandler says that what's wrong
with him is lack of oxygen in his
oiood, Decause of arthritis. His
physician. Dr. John B. Greggory,
has not commented publicly.
Chandler believes he can get rid
of the yawns in a few more
months. He is resting, trying to
build himself up. When they cease,
he intends to go back to his job as
a Union Pacific railroad clerk.

Butte Valley contains around 85,
000 acres of land, extending from
Just below the Oregon - California
line down to south of Mncdoel, and
east and west to the ridges. It Is
roughly shaped like a dinner plate,
with elevation of about 4,300 feet
along the rims of Uie valley proper
all the way around and of about
4,240 in Uie center.
A good deal of the land Is pri
vately owned, some is public land,
leased to the Butte Valley Soil
Conservation District. It represents
the largest nearby potential agri
cultural development of the entire
Klamath Basin.
At present no water is Imported
Into the valley for irrigation. About
80 wells will be pumping next sum
mer, and the idea of the USBR
study is to determine the extent of
the underground water those wells
will be drawing from, and how
much last that underground water
can take care of; whether Butte
Valley can be self-sufficient for wa
ter in complete agricultural devel
opment. In addition to the well studies,
four precipitation gauges are in op
eration in the valley to determine
Uie amount of water it gets from
rain and snowfall. Two non-recording
gauges, one in Red Rock Val
ley and one at Tennant, have to be
read every day. and two recording

Digger Ban
Over-ruled
PORTLAND Wl Three circuit
Judges Wednesday held that a city
ordinance banning coin-operated
digger machines is Invalid.
Judges Martin w. Hawkins ana
James R. Until held that the city
cannot ban the machines because
Uie state regulates Uiem. They
previously made a similar ruling
on pinball machines.
Judge McCormao Snow ruled
that Uie city did not show cause
for designating the digger ma
chine ban an emergency measure.
This ruling was similar to an ear
lier circuit court opinion Invalidat
ing a ban on punch boards.
City Attorney Alexander O.
Brown said he would recommend
Uiat the ruling be appealed. Ruling
