MAY POISON LAKE ; Bit CHARLES ' The Oregon State Game : tensive studies into the possibility of rehabilitating Diamond Lakes sports fishery. . '' - The commission recently issued a bulletin outlining . some of the problems being the largest and most expensive ever undertaken. The Commission proposes ping the water level 20 feet, tributary streams then would lish toxin. It is necessary which has a maximum depth the poison to wear off before water again starts flowing from the outlet. Otherwise fish life might be endangered in the main river. Several methods of lowering the water level are under consideration. One proposal to serve as an outlet. Construction of this ditch would re quire heavy blasting. County Judge Carl Hill, former chair man of the Game Commission, fears that blasting might open fissures In the light pumice structure, thereby causing permanent damage. Siphoning and pumping also are sug gested. These methods, however, would require a large amount of critical materials. History Of Diamond Lake . In scouting material for historical pages The News Review is presenting at intervals in observance of Douglas County's centennial year, we learn that Diamond Lake, named for its shape, originally was called Cowhorn Lake, lying ad jacent to Big Cowhorn Mountain on the east and Little Cow horn on the north. Big Cowhorn in 1872 was officially named Mt. Thiclsen, in honor of Hans Thielsen, prominent engineer in western railroad construction. Mt. Thielsen originally was called Big Cowhorn because of its spire, rising to an elevation of 9,173, giving it resemblance to a cows horn. Diamond Lake had no fish population prior to 1913. when it was stocked" with rainbow trout. Within a few years the lake became widely known for size and number of its fish and was for many years the largest rainbow trout egg-taking station in the world. In 1940 roach, a trash fish related td carp, was intro duced by live-bait fishermen, who captured the minnows in Klamath County lakes and then dumped unused bait into Diamond Lake. Roach are Bhort time they began crowding out trout population, in 1946. the Game Commission reports, acquatio food in Dia mond Lake amounted ) to 292 pounds per acre. Bottom samples in 1951 yielded only 2.3 pounds per acre. The Com mission has expended $20,500 since 1946 to control the trash fish but they have multiplied faster than they couia De Kiuea. In the meantime, the take of trout from the lake declined Irom 87,500 in 1947 to 3,994 last year. , Enormous Project Planned ' Should poisoning the lake be attempted it will be the largest project of its kind ever undertaken. To date this method of rehabilitation has been used on no lake larger than 396 acres, we are told. Diamond Lake has an area of 8,000 acres. This area, of course, would be considerably reduced were the level to be dropped 20 feet. If it is decided to construct a drainage outlet, that ditch must be more th:m 20 feet deep, much of it through solid rock, and it must extend 1,700 feet into the lake itself, and possibly another 1,000 feet outside the lake shore. Cost of the ditch alone Is estimated at around $148,000. It would take six months to lower the lake the required 20 feet at a rate of flow not exceeding the the existing outlet, engineers report. More rapid drainnge might be .dangerous to the river and to Copco's power instal lations. . V The Commission, in considering this drastic step, also must give thought to the effect upon the resort concession and summer homes during the year of operation. Before the experiment is made, it is possible that the lake will be thrown open to unrestricted angling, permitting removal by anglers of as much of the game fish population as possible. This will not be done in 1952, however, the commission says. c 1 Tl1 Pat -r-r,rfj A small boy was riding his squeaking tricycle up and down tho street.

The first three days, I was in the plant I couldn t near a thing when I stepped out of the office into the big "sawtooth build ing" (shape of roof gave it that name) where more than a thou sand men were being replaced by women workers. My superior told me to never mind. In a day or two I'd hear ordinary speech. Sure enough, I became accus tomed to the noise and could hear ordinary conversation. I had learned to listen "under" or "through" the loud noise of all the drill presses and so on. I had maac adjustment mentally. Every thing else was the same! So often when we feel we must talk louder, we really need to re lax our throat muscles and drop our voice and speak "through" or "under" whatever Is hindering hearing Teachers know that trick. Often it helns in speaking to one who is hard of hearing. I mess It's "stage whisper" technique.

Several Communist party lunctionaries, including Steve Nelson, recently convicted on 11 counts of section in Pennsylvania, wrecked an automobile that con. tained hundreds of documents on. the LYL, including a membership list. State troopers turned the list over to the FBI, and the House Committee on Un-American ac tivities. Tho most revealing dis closure was the high regard for the LYL by Communist leaders in the USA and Moscow. It's a big league Communist outfit and therefore doesn't belong on col lege campuses or in our high schools. The LYL also collects money from University of California and other college students, most of which Is dispatched tn Communist party headquarters in New York. I have the figures on the LYL quota set up for the Los An geles area. It was $6,000 for 1949. Of this sum, the national LYL of fice quota was $2,400. Bv 1950 the LYL had raised $1,418, of which s.n7 was mailed to Communist headquarters in New York.

OSC Savants Offer Substance In Cancer Study CORVALLIS Three Oregon State College scientists are manu facturing substances which may lead to new discoveries about can cer. The three men Dr. Bert E. Christensen. chemistry professor; Dr. C. H. Wang, research chemist, and Roland K. Robins, a craduate chemistry student are working under a $5,260 grant from the U.S. Public Health Service. Christensen, who is head of the project, said he and his two assist ants had found an easy way to make the substances by combin ing chemicals. In nature the sub stances purines and pyrimidines are found in nucleic acid in liv ing tissue. He explained that any substance which could effectively retard the growth of cells was important in cancer research. He described can cer as a disease of uncontrolled cell growth. After synthetic purines and pyri midines are manufactured at Ore gon State, they are shipped to Cor nell University at Ithaca, N. Y. There they are tested on living tis sue by Dr. Agnar Nygaard, a for mer OSC scientist. mm, Down-The-River Route To Lone Rock Favored ROSEBURG The amount of con troversy over the location of a county road connecting Lone Rock bridge with Sutherlin is amazing. A road over (he mountains, close to Mt. Scott, would, no doubt be of benefit to the Weyerhaeuser Co. and its hangers on, as it would provide a short haul to the Weyer haeuser railroad. It does not seem logical, however, that the county should build a road to facilitate the hauling of logs out of the county while there are locally owned and operated mills that can handle the logs and keep the employment and the nrofits at home. Such a road would not lower trucking costs from Lone Rock through to Sutherlin and would be of no use other than log hauling, as it would open up no district suitable for homes and small farms. As opposed to a road from Lone Rock te Sutherlin by the Mt. Scott route, the route down the river twards Wilbur and Sutherlin would open up a large district for settle ment and sportsmen would provide as short and as feasible a route as that near Mt. Scott. R. B. OLIVER Idleyld Route Roseburg, Oregon Defense Army Article Approved By A Mother ROSEBURG I would like to draw to every man's and woman's attention the article by Brig. Gen. Henrv J. Reilly in the Feb. issue of Blue Book magazine. It is of importance to every thuiKing per son. It suggests a way in which we could have a large army for de fense and save our youths from actual battle experience, except in real out and out war and at no greater cost to us in money than we are now spcnaing. If we, the United States, have to police the world and pay for the policing, why not use a plan such as the one General Reilly suggests and save the lives of countless boys of our own? In my 40 years of reading and studying I have never read nor heard suggested a more service able idea. This army would be bat tle wise and battle trained and would know what it is all about, and would be there because it was their own choice. If our service men's and women's organizations of all wars would get behind a plan of this kind and push, it could be put there. Think of Korea! If a plan of this sort had been in operation, look at the lives ol our boys uiat coma have been saved. Would you sell the life of your son tor 10,000 for a million dollars? No, of course not! Vou have a chance this way oi helping to save your son, your neighbor's son, a thousand sons, fathers, ' brothers and husbands' lives. It is not worth the effort it would take? A GOLD STAR MOTHER (Name on file.) Says Deek Creek Unfit For Angling Proposal ROSEBURG I see where a plan is in progress by the Roseburg Junior Chamber of Commerce and others whereby Deer Creek, be tween uixonviiie and its contiuence with the South Umpqua River, is to be stocked with trout and turned loose as an angling haven for the juveniles of Roseburg under the age of 14 years. The plan would be most com mendable and fine for the young stcrs if that part of Deer Creek was a suitable place for such a project. It is not, however, from the time school is out in the spring until school commences again in September. That part of the creek is so low and rotten from sewage and from septic tanks, a self - re specting trout would not stay there and would hardly be fit to eat if it did. As far as opening that part i r i i i . i I ui ijih'i irftfn as an angling naveu for youngsters is concerned, the whole plan seems stupid and seems to be a scheme on the part of Roseburg to shove Its juveniles off onto the farmers and others who already have enough troubles of their own. LLOYD COLE Roseburg, Oregon Mexico, U. S. Agree On Migratory Labor WASHINGTON The State Department announced Saturday that Mexico has agreed to extend the existing migratory labor agree ment for one month. A Department announcement said the agreement, due to expire Monday, now will continue to Mar. 11. 1952. The statement also said the two governments "are in accord there should be no interruption to the program whereby Mexican agri cultural workers may legally enter the United States when determined to be necessary on terms agree able to both governments." The one-month extension will give Congress time to complete ac tion on a bill designed to stop Mexican "wetbacks" from entering the United States. "Wetbacks" are Mexican laborers who cross the Rio Grande illegally. j .- , a .
