TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1956 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN Water Well Permits Go On File FORT ROCK Several applica. tions for appropriating water in the Fort Rock Basin, by pumping from wells, have been submitted . to the state engineer's office with in the past few months. These are given a file reference number, establishing order of priority, with the notation that they "will be held pending completion of the evaluation of ground water re sources in the basin." ' he state engineer's office has not processed irrigation well per mits since late August, 1955. Pil ings on underground water in Ore gon are handled on much the same basis as that for appropriating from surface streams. "We are presently analyzing the : available data in our files in an attempt to foretell what effect the development of appropriated ground water will have on the ground-water regiment of the ba sin," explained Lewis A. Stanley, state engineer. The most critical area now ap- 1 pears to be 10 to 15 miles south east of the town of Fort Rock. According to Stanley, more than 6.000 acre-feet of ground water has already been appropriated in a 17 .square mile area in this part of the basin. This amount does not , include the few hundred acre-feet that will probably be claimed un der well registrations. "At the present time," Stanley said, "only a part of the apprppri- ated ground waters have been de ' veloped, and in a few cases, wells ,; for which permits have beer, is ' sued have not as yet been con structed. We are analyzing the an ' nual well reports in order to ob- i tain an estimate of what propor- : tion of the appropriated ground water is now being pumped. A to. tal development of 6,000 acre-feet 'per year in this small part of the basin will, in time, produce sizable cone of depression, which will cause a reduction in well ca pacity and an increase in pump ing cost. The availability of power : will probably result in a larger i proportion of the appropriated ' ground water being withdrawn in the 1056 Irrigation season than has r occurred in any of the past lrri- , gation seasons. i "We have not yet issued any ; new permits for wells In the Fort Rock Basin. The applications are being held pending a preliminary estimate of round-water availabil lty. As these wells all lie outside the area of intense appropriation, they will probably be approved In the near future. "The reports of the U.S. Geo logical Survey that we are using in our analysis are 'Basin Ground' Water Data in Lake County, Ore gon' by F. D. Trauger, and 'Ground water Available for Irrigation the Fort Rock Basin, Northern Lake County, Oregon' by R. C, Newcomb. These reports are. our chief source of information as to the nature of the ground-water re sources of Lake County." Seventy-eight units of the Ore gon Army National Guard are serving in over 38 communities throughout the state.

A contribution of O negative blood, donated December 16 here, by Tom, who has contributed six pints to date, went to a resident of Vancouver, Washington, patient in the Vancouver Memorial Hos pital, who submitted to, surgery for ulcers and other complications. The patient received several pints of blood, preparatory to the oper ation. Mrs. Premo, a 16-pint donor with O type blood, gave a pint on De cember 15 that also went to the Vancouver Memorial Hospital for a woman patient who had serious and complicated surgery that ne cessitated use of several pints for recovery., Roy premo with a record of 12 pints, the last pint donated on De cember 15, sent blood to a wom an patient at the Salem Memorial Hospital. His blood type is A neg ative. The Klamath Valley Hospital uses over 100 pints of blood each month, which Is received weekly from the regional center in Port land, In this program, whole blood donated must be used within 21 days after it is donated. If not used it is returned to the Port land center to be processed for blood plasma or serum albumin, a blood derivitive.
