(The latest estimate places the number of Jap mines that got loose during the war at around 40,000. If they all drift ovre to us . In the ocean currents, we'll have to watch them for a long time.) ... AS to these mines, there was a wlerd tale in the news the '.' other day. Some boys found one of them on a beach, did what boys 1 will do under such circumstances, ; and later reported the mine "no , good, because we tried to take tho ; horns off It, and It WOULDN'T WORK." ;', (You know what these "horns" r- are. They are the Jiggers that explode the mine. They are flexi ble and filled with add contained, In glass tubes. When the horri, - hits something and bends, the - glass tube is broken and the add ; spills out and sets off the explo sive. Then wham!) American boys being what they '' are (alert, adventurous and sim ply running over with curiosity) the wonder of it Is that so many of them live to grow up. ... - k NOTHER word on Ketchikan. A They're having a DROUTH " up there, and are scared they . won't have water enough to go around. (Ketchikan's normal rain . fall is 150 inches a year.) This Is certainly a screwball ' season. ... GOING on with Jitter day, a rumor got loose in Jutland (Denmark's northernmost nrov 1' Ince) that war had broken out between tho United Statos and Russia. Newspajwr telephone lines were Jammed with frightened in - qulrles. ,'. The Copenhagen dispatch tell- Ing of It adds that the origin of ,. tne rumors couidn t be deter- mined. 2 ... THAT raises a question that alt newspaper people are Inter- " eatcd In. Where DO these rumors - Btart? Every newspaper has days Z when Its telephone system is swamped by some such tale. An other odd thins: People always seem to be DISAPPOINTED when assured there is nothing to , tho story. ... OHIO Is next on the big national quiz program whose JIM quos 1 tion is: who is going to be IT? Hr;r primary election eumes on May 4, and both Taft and Slassen are heading there for what might be the big showdown. If Stassen should WIN IN OHIO, it would pretty much tell the tale. By CHARLES V. STANTON The April bulletin distributed by the State Game Com mission outlines a large expansion program. Announcement is made of a new fish hatchery for the southwestern Oregon coastal area. The new Wizard Falls hatchery is nearing com. pletion on the Metolius River. Improvements are being made to the Bandon hatchery. Production Is to be doubled on the Roaring River hatchery in Linn County. Capacity of the Rock Creek hatchery on the North Umpqua is to be doubled, contemplated work including a new dam, water supply line, relocation and reconstruction of brood and rearing pond installation of a new cold storage plant, and other improve ments. The McKenzie hatchery is to be increased, and the same is true of the Butte Falls hatchery on the Rogue, the Wallowa hatchery and others. In addition to the hatchery operations now being expanded, the Game and Fish Commissions are seeking construction of a number of hatcheries on the Willamette River and its tribu taries as a part of the Willamette Valley Project. Construe tion of flood control dams will eliminate extensive spawning areas, and federally constructed hatcheries are proposed to offset tho loss, Many sportsmen and the general public will accept these hatchery improvements and additions as a forward step in the fisheries program, and rightly so. The public has been led to believe that hatcheries are the answer to rapid losses of fish population. But a comparatively few people, and most of the scientists in particular, are beginning to question the efficacy of artificial propagation, except as a supplementary process. No one would dony that fish hatcheries are necessary. But their principal function appears to bo that of stocking streams where angling intensity is greater than stream ca pacity. By rearing fish to legal limit and releasing them at intervals during the open season, the commission can supply recreation in an otherwise barren stream. But the economics of the hatchery program becomes irrv mediately apparent when it is realized that it costs in the neighborhood of 20 cents to rear one fish to the legal limit An angler pays $3 annually for a license. If he catches more than 15 fish in any one soason,-he has put the hatchery program on the red ink side of the lodger. It is our opinion the Game Commission should be giving more thought to a program of stream improvement. We cannot continue forever hutching fish, holding them to legal size and then planting them where they will fill the angler's creel when a catch of 100 fish in a season would represent $20 in hatchery cost in return for a ?3 angling license. The same issue of the Bulletin which reports the commis sion's hatchery program also carries an interesting account of work in the Clackamas River experimental area. Tho Clackamas was once one of Oregon's fine fishing streams. Today its productivity is extremely low, but because of In' tensity of angling from Portlund it has been heavily stocked each season with legal sized fish. It is quite evident that the state can't continue forever to keep the Clackamas River stocked with fish for the angler's creel when the relation botween propagation costs and license fees is so widely separated. But if the state should spend a few hundred thousand dollars in watershed improvement on the Clackamas, where trout food is less than one and one-half cubic centimeters per square foot, totally inadequate to support any abundance of fish life, tho capacity of the river to support naturally spawned fish would bo vastly improved. By controlling flash floods, improving summertime flow, lowering water tem peratures, etc., tho commission could provide better condi tions for growth of trout food as well as increasing spawn ing facilities, thereby promoting natural rehabilitation. It is not to bo expected that the river, due to heavy fishing intensity, could ever provide an abundance of fisli without supplemental aid from hatcheries. But the excessive cost of maintaining a sufficient number of fish to hold angler in-1 terest could bo partially relieved by increasing natural pro ductivity, whilo, at tho same time, many other, interests would be served by a moro abundant water supply. Throughout all of Western Oregon our streams have been badly damaged by improper land management. These streams are important to agriculture, forest growth, recreation, and even to life itself. But nothing is being done to even halt destructive processes, whereas we need a most aggressive rehabilitation program. The Game Commission, in our opinion, should sulect a comparatively small watershed we propose the South Ump qua River basin and seek cooperation from tho state de partment of agriculture, state college, state board of for estry and any other affected agencies, and set up an experi ment in watershed restoration. We predict that such an experiment, if properly conducted, would prove that the state could, in time, scrap half its expensive, uneconomical hatcheries and still provide, through natural processes, an abundance of fish. i MODEST MAIDENS TrutaMrk lUfltttr.

Ml Connecticut today was ngnln named the "safest state In the nation" by the National Safety Council. Washington state was the west ern division winner. Oklahoma City, Okla., and Wilmington, Del., shared honors as the safest cities participating In tha council's 1S47 safety con test. Connecticut is the only state to win the grand award niore than once. It previously had won the 19-10, 1944 and litl'fl contests. Thomas H. Mat-Donald, commls , sloner of tho U. S. Public Roads Administration, Judged the con test. He noted that Connecticut's traffic mlleaee death rate (deaths per 100,000,000 vehicle miles) is Just half the national rate.
