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.

closure was the high regard for
the LYL by Communist leaders in

therefore doesn't belong on col

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

Of this sum, the national LYL of

It is apparent that the Daily

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.

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

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.

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
