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' ground water being withdrawn in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.

SHARING THE FAMILY'S BLOOD in the Red Cross blood program hat placed the Roy Premo
family in the spotlight at the Portland Regional Blood Center. Mr. and Mrs. Premo are close
to completing their record of two gallons of blood, Mrs. Premo, right, with 15 pints and her
husband, center, with 12 pints. Their son, Tom, left, Klamath Union High School student, has
given six pints.
Klamath Family Gives ,
Generous To Blood Bank
A Klamath Falls family, Roy
Premo, his wife, Edna, and their
son, Tom, of Klamath Falls, are
consistent contributors to the local
Red Cross blood donation program.
Mr. and Mrs. Premo are gallon
club givers.
Recently. Virginia Dixon, execu
tive secretary of the Klamath Falls
Red Cross Chapter, with the co
operation of the Portland Regional
Blood Center, traced a pint of blood
to each donor.
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.
Pledge cards for the next visit
of the Red Cross bloodmobile in
Klamath Falls on March 5-6-7 may
be obtained at the Elks Lodge
or appointments may be made by
calling 4125.
The bloodmobile staff will be at
National Guard headquarters at
the Klamath Falls airport, 7-9 p.m.
on March 5; at OTI, 10 a.m. to
2 p.m. on March 6 and at the
Elks Lodge, 4-8 p.m. on March 7.

Hav& yoiz tried the neyir
V&riahle Pitch Djynaflow?
T
ins is something youll End only in a
1956 Buick.
And we think this action is so exciting, you
ought to come in for a sampling before
another sun sets.
For Buick's new Variable Pitch Dynaflow is
more than just the smoothest, the sweetest,
the most responsive transmission yet
developed.
It's quick and it's nimble it's a gas-saver
and a great safety factor ihc most thrilling
safety measure on the American scene today.
When we say twin-triggered, we mean just
that.
You move the first trigger the moment you
press the gas pedal no more than an inch.
That nudge taps a fraction of the mighty
power in Buick's big 322-cubic-inch V8
engine. That nudge gives you quick new
getaway response. That nudge brings you
all the power and snap and performance you
need for normal driving and cruising. And
since all this is at only part throttle, your
gn.s mileage goes up substantially.
Then comes the next trigger when you
need all-out acceleration for an emergency
safety-surge.
You just floor the pedal-and that switches
the pitch of this airplane-principled
transmission.
Instantly, you're at full-power take-off and
it's like a second getaway cutting in a
thrill and a safety sweep like nothing you've
ever experienced before in an earthbound
vehicle.
Surely you owe yourself the treat, the twin
thrills, the deep satisfaction and just the
sheer fun hours that go with driving the
best Btiick yet.
Why not come in tomorrow and match up
the words with the action?
