period in 1948, 216,400 acre-feet in
1947 and the average of 486,700 acre-
feet for the last 10 years. Data on
irrigation water forcasts are pre­
pared by the U. S. department -of
agriculture and the Oregon agri­
cultural experiment station from
field snow surveys made January 1,
February 1, and March 1 on a fed­
eral-state co-operative basis.
Owyhee reservoir storage as of
February 20, was 406,380 acre-feet
as compared with 286,370 acre-feet
stored on the same date a year ago.
Whether the reservoir will fill to its
capacity of 715,000 acre-feet will de­
pend on the weather and precipi­
tation during the next two month.«.
Either a late run-off of the snow-
pack or below normal precipitation
would prevent the reservoir from
filling.

banquet sponsored by the Masonic
lodge and Order of the Eastern

night. Dr. C. L. Hermann discussed
before a crowd of 100 persons Wash­
ington as a symbol.
Speaking of Washington for his
activities in earlyday Masonry, Dr.

symbolism surrounding the memory
