FISH SCREEN STUDIED
By CHARLES V. STANTON
The Oregon Game commission reports a study to he
undertaken this year into the loss of downstream migrant
fish nt the Winchester dam. Similar surveys are to be made
elsewhere throughout the state. The study is expected to
lead to construction of a new type of screen designed to
divert fish away from turbines, pumps, grinders and other
industrial installations.
Dr. John Rayner, chief of fishery operations for t h e
Game commission, decares the newly-invented screen to
be the biggest advance in protection of salmonoid fish at
large diversions since the advent of the fish ladder.
The first of the new screens now is being built by the
Portland General Electric company at Marmot dam in the
Sandy river.
Among contemplated installations are diversions at
Oregon City, Hood River, labiirg-, Waterville, Winchester,
and Cazadero and River Mills, the latter two locations be
ing on the Clackamas river.
The new screen, the commission reports, is adapted to
deep channels. It follows the principle of a device used for
many years by industry to remove debris from water. It
works on an endless belt principle and is divided into pan
els which may be readily replaced. Jets of water clean the
panels as they rise on the endless belt. Fish striking the
traveling screen panel are channeled off into diversion
tubes which carry them around pumps and turbines to tha
downstream side of the dam.
Saving Fish Important
The State of Oregon is spending many thousands o f
dollars annually to hatch and rear game fish. There is much
question in the minds of scientists whether artificial propa
gation is economically sound. Yet, while we spend large
sums to hatch fish, we are permitting more fish than we
, hatch to be destroyed or lost.
Thousands upon thousands of fingerlings are killed
each year in turbines and pumps. More thousands are lost
in irrigation ditches. Wholesale losses occur when fish are
trapped in drying ponds.
A good friend and conservationist wrote us a few days
go of a spot in Douglas county where hundreds of salmon
fingerlings have been trapped in a slough as water receded
rapidly after a freshet. The fish possibly equal the popula
tion of a hatchery holding pond. Thus, their salvage when
effected will represent several hundreds of dollars when
compared with the cost of rearing the same number artifi
cially. Game commission officers have been advised of the
situation and will attempt salvage operations.
Watersheds Show Damage
The game department in recent years has steadily en
larged salvage efforts. All over the state we have numer
ous good spawning streams which once ran fresh, clear wa
ter throughout the entire year. But because of our care
less destruction of watersheds, many of these streams now
start drying up with the first warm breath of summer.
Countless thousands of tiny fish are left to die in stagnant
pools. Game department employes and sports groups have
discovered many of these spots and attempt salvage of some
of the trapped fish each year. Obviously lack of manpower,
equipment and time prevents more than superficial recov
ery. '
Mother Nature is prodigal with life. She gives life in
abundance and destroys with abandon. But while resources
are in their natural state, Mother Nature maintains a bal
ance between all forms of life. When man enters the pic
ture, however, adding to natural predation, destroying wa
tersheds, polluting water, wrecking spawning beds, divert
ing water for power, irrigation and industrial uses, d e
struction of wildlife in all its forms exceeds Nature's pow
ers for reproduction. If, on the other hand, we can succeed
in reducing some of the losses occurring from both na
tural and man-caused destruction, we may more nearly
ppronch a balance.
That is why successful diversion of downstream
migrant fish around diversions is so important; why it is
so essential for sports groups to work with department em
ployes in salvage efforts; why more care and effort are
needed to preserve watersheds, or to restore them if they
have been damaged. Kvery naturally spawned fish saved
from destruction reduces by one the number of fish it be
comes necessary to rear sitifically, at a cost generally rec
ognized to be uneconomical.
For two days now1 Mr. and Mrs.
Algernon Bitwuns have bene en
during a state of seige. First on one
window sill, then another, there
will be a hopeful white cat holding
firmly a tiny, tiny white kitten.
To look in upon the Miluuns nt
breakfast time, the mother cat
climbs up on the woodpile, across
the rafter of the woodshed, over
on to the kitchen roof, a mere
matter of a few feet jump or
drop, over the sleep roof, down on
to the porch roof, to the meter
box, and at last, to the window
(ill by the table. The only way
she can now reach her real objec
tive, an opened door, is to jump a
good five feet to the ground, bound
up on to the potch, ignoring the
iteps, and streak in the door held
open by Mr. Bitwuns.
She followa her usual' procedure,
undeterred by the fact that now
he carries a white kitten. She
follows it, that is to the window
sill. For now, alas, the Bitwuns,
hardhearted as they are, do not
make that bewitching sound with
the front door latch. Instead Mr.
B carries the kitten bark to the
workshop (A mcaowing white cat
close). . .where she atays n 0 1
very long.
To be sure she did win out by
luccecding in welcoming her kit

Bitwuns thought of all she had go

keeping 'that hussy OUT, she
wondered shy she had bothered.
From there on It was up to Alger

was that. Simple. Or was it? Alter

as to why there was suddenly
only one kitten. After all. she had

Hut poor Mrs. Bitwuns washes

In about six weeks Mrs. Bit

WASHINGTON -Northern Democrats are taking a
bad licking in the political war with the Southern or Dixie
crat wing of the party.
Republicans, acting on sideline cheerers-on, keep on
supplying ammunition to the southern Democrats so the
political civil war will rage unabated. So far all the cas
ualties have been northern Democrats, largely from the
ranks of big city political machines whose bosses have

strings. I

big city bosses are already shout
ing" "uncle," but nobody from the
south seems to be listening.
At stake in live political civil
war is control of the Democratic
party for the presidential skirmish
in 1952. Since 1948 southern Demo
crats have been poor country cous
ins to the northern bosses, who
have split up the political gravy
by plundering patronage lists and
slicing off chunks of federal money
in the form of fees from loan
funds. Southern politicians don't
like it. At first they played it po
liie. by complaining to the While
House or trying to work out an
equitable division of the spoils by
conference. They found they were
wasting their time. Then they got
tough.

Local School Policies
Defended From Criticism
Roseburg It is a bit nauseating
that one of our citizens, in report
ing on our school situation, has
stopped to a new low in good taste,
repaid for the truth, and senile
understanding. She (lid not care
to investigate and learn that it
did not cost as much as $25 to
secure the experienced, expert ad
vise of Dr. Huffaker. or that he
already is in the employ of the
state.
She could never understand that
consolidation is a 50-50 proposition.
While Roseburg shares some o(
it's facilities, the incoming dis
tricts will be sharing their wealth.
Roseburg is indeed fortunate to
have an educa'or of the quality of
Siiperintedent Paul Elliott. Mr.
Elliott understands educational
policies in all fields and those of
us who have seen the growth in
the quality of education in our
system since he has been here,
will testily to his capacity as an
educaior. The statement on salary
was completely false. The figure
she suggests would in reality not
be 011 tof lie at all but the truth
is our clerk, at retirement i
receives tar more in wages and
concessions, on a proportionate
basis, than our superintendent;
this to aur shame.
That she is not sued for slander,
attests to the statute, character
and outstanding qualities of these
men. Neither could Uiis person
understand that the majority of
our citizens formulate all school
policies at the polls and that this
majority is solidly behind our;
school policies because tney are

one of the best ways to do it js to
discredit the machine politicians
