In the Day's News
(Continued from Page One)
; at Aleutian bases were alerted
' and leaves were canceled on sea-
going cralt,
THIS writer has been expecting
for days to hear that the
mines that are pouring In on
Pacific beaches are being sown
by these "mystery" submarines.
(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.

Connecticut "Safest"
State For Third Year
CHICAGO, April 15. 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.

' DEATH OF A TREE
(Bond Bullotin)
Five hundred and sixtv-six

not far from the channel of a
usninR, turoulent river. The
ream mav have been known ns
he Towernohiooks or the Ko-
mkeni. Ixith Indian names fur
nat, centuries later, was dealer-
nated by the white man as Ri-
viere des Chutes, Riviere aux
nines ana, still later, as the
'schutes river. That servts to
ive the general location. More
specifically it was in what we
now know as Central Oregon.
Unquestionably there were
many more seedlings of the same
species to make their appearance
ut approximately the same time.
They too, would have been name
less. It was still some years be
fore the western hemisphere
would be discovered and much,
much longer before the western
yellow pine would be found and
given its accurately descriptive
designation of pinus ponderosa.
After the manner of seedlings
they probably survived or per
ished according 4o their fitness.
Some were nrey to fire and in
sects. Some ix'came fuel to minis
ter to man's need and, as civiliza
tion dawned in the country where
they had their being, others of
especial fineness were felled to
be fabricated for other uses of
