Tours of the shaft are usually available from owner Keith Hodson. The shoring is native timber. Friday, August. 1. will be the last day that well registrations can be filed, Lewis A. Stanley, state engineer, announced today in Sa lem. That will be the end of the three year period provided by the 1955 Legislature for well owners to to register their wells. Failure of any person to register his well by the August 1 deadline will deprive him of his right to continued use of ground water from his well. Stanley pointed out, however, that certain uses of ground water e exempt from registration. The exempted uses are ( 1 ) ground wa ter used for stock water, (2) ground water used for watering any lawn or non-commercial gar den not exceeding one-half acre in area, (3) ground water used lor single or group domestic purposes in an amount not exceeding 15.000 gallons per day, and (4) ground water used for any single indus trial or commercial purpose in an amount not exceeding 5,000 gallons per day. Claims for uses specif ically exempted in the statutes cannot be registered.

This Is thel Stanley, State date that the Ground Water Act Oregon. of 1955 became effective. In East ern Oregon-, wells must have been constructed on or before May 28, 1927 for there has been ground water legislation governing t b e construction of wells east of t h e Cascade Divide since that time. Wells for non-exempted uses that have been constructed subsequent to these effective dates without benefit of a permit issued by the state engineer to appropriate ground water are unlawful wells and are not subject to registration. Owners or operators of wells that are used in unlawful appropria tion of ground water should make application to the state en gineer for a permit to appropriate ground water. The priority for a water right obtained by a permit is based on the date the applica tion for a permit is filed with the state engineer. A right to appro priate ground water under a regis tration has a tentative priority based on the date when construc tion of the well was begun.
