The likelihood of black bass being
planted In tho South Dmpqua River
Is again strong, after tho disouirng
Ing statement made here two Aeeks
ago by Deputy Fish Warden It. K.
Clanton Local anglers who have
been trying to secure bass for the
river hero received substantial en
couragement today from another
deputy warden, Thomas J. Craig, who
was sent here hy Chief Warden Fin
ley lo plant trout fry in the North

tigation of conditions, declared him
self emphatically In favor or supply
ing the South I'mpqua with bass and
will make an unqualified recommen
dation to that effect to Mr. Finley.
Clanton when here expressed him
self opposed to planting bass In the
South Dnipqua, not because he
thought the stream was not adapted
for their propagation,, but because
he feared Ihey would mlgrato into the
North t'nipqiia and exterminate the
trout, as they are doing in other riv
ers. Craig declares that bass will
not inhabit a stream as cold as the
North Pmpquu. Furthermore, he de
clared, the North Umpquii affords
neither proper food for bass nor the
right kind of places for spawning
grounds. The South Umpqua, on the
other hand, affords both. In fact
the South Cmpqua River Is the best
stream In the state for tho propaga
tion of bass, according to Mr. Craig,
Mr. Craig today released 18G.000
trout fry of tho Rainbow and brook
varieties. Some of them were plant
ed in Deer Creek, but tho bigger part
went into tne North umpqua, up as
far as Rock Crook, whero lltl.OOO
alone were planted.
