ROCK CREEK HATCHERY This is the layout of the state Game Commission facility at which fish eggs are hotched and fish are released into, the river, when, they reach legal size. (News-Review Photo) . Each year, the personnel of the Rock Creek Hatchery plant 135, 000 legal size trout in the limp qua River system. No stable amount of salmon and steelhead is planted each year since the egg source varies from year to year. The spring chinook salmon and steelhead are marked by remov ing one or more fins. The reason for marking is to keep track of the number that return. These fish are liberated in the Umpqua River below the Winchester Dam. They migrate to the ocean, then return to the angler as adults in a few years. Hatchery Educational The Rock Creek Fish Hatchery is among the most interesting and educational projects of the Ore gon State Game Commission. It was built in 1921 by the Commis sion at the time the Fish Com mission and the Game Commis sion were divided. The hatchery was built on an approximate five acre site that was procured from the Kendall Timber Co. In 1937 this site was enlarged to approximately ten acres by the purchase of additional property from Lee McCairn of Idleyld Park.

Winiton Variety Riddlt, Riddl Hardware Back in 1895, a new bride in Roseburg, Mrs. George It. Child, who had been, a teacher prior to her marriage and had enjoyed the advantages of cultural life in cit ies, decided on organizing a cul tural club in Roseburg. From the group forming the "Mental Culture Club of '95" the Roseburg Womans' Club emerged in 1922. It was the second women's organization in Oregon and one of the very earliest to join the feder ation in the United States. In appreciation for her happy years as a bride in Roseburg, Mrs. Child came from her home in San Francisco to Roseburg in 1945 to celebrate the club's golden jubilee. At that time she presented a liber al gift of money to be used to build a clubhouse. She again re turned to Roseburg to take part in the ground-breaking ceremonies for the new clubhouse on SIC Mosh or Ave. "The club membership burned the mortgage on the build ing a few years ago when Mrs. Jr. Woman's Club Organized In 1953 In January 19331 10 young wo men were called together by Mrs. George Smith, who felt the need of a club in . Roseburg for young women. After several meetings, she moved away, but before leaving, she contacted Mrs. C. S. Ileinline. who was then the very successful president of the Roseburg Wo men's Club. ' t Because of Mi's. Hemline's in terest in these young women, the Junior Woman's X'lub was organ ized in February 1933 as a depart ment of the local Woman's Club, l.sler it becamo an independent club and had the distinction of be ing the first independent Juni r Club in Oregon lo be affilinled with the Stale and National Fed erations. It was also the first Jun ior Club in Oregon to sponsor a district conference meeting, which was. held February 15, 1936. Purpose Outlined The purpose of the organization is to secure concerted action in intellectual, philanthropic, educa tional and social .activities and to promote the work of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Kvery year the Junior Woman's Club chooses worthwhile projects to support. Some of the have included the Roseburg County Kenneth W. Ford was president. The Roseburg City Library was started by members of the Rose burg Woman's Club, who later worked hard for the realization of the Douglas County Library. The garden department of the club has completed landscaping the library grounds and in addition has land scaped the grounds of both Doug las Community Hospital and Mer cy Hospital. One of the principal projects of the club is assisting with scholar ships annually. This year a $65 scholarship is being given a sen ior high school student desiring to further her education in music. The members sponsored a month ly' program at the Veterans Ad ministration Hospital, sponsored Camp Fire groups and this year will work toward furnishing a room for the new YMCA. Award Received Because of the efforts of the membership to the CARE pro gram, the club received an award from the Royal National Founda tion of Greece. Contributions are also given through the state feder ation to the Sadie Orr Dunbar Nursing Education Fund, to the Fine Arts program, the scholar ship and fellowship funds and to the conservation program of the federation. Mrs. N. Charles Wallin is the president this year. Since 1895 some of Roseburg's most outstand ing, women have served as presi dents of the organization, which now boasts a members-hip of 165. The 65th anniversary of the club was celebrated last fall. In 1936 to 1938, the hatchery had extensive improvements and reno vations. In 1950, it was almost completely rebuilt and modernized. The Rock Creek Fish Hatchery is vaiuea wen in excess oi nan a mu lion dollars. . The start of activities at the sta tion, begins in the hatchery build ing. Troughs are used for the run ning water and the water is kept at a regular depth. Each trough holds seven baskets, each basket holds four to ten thousand eggs, depending on the size of the eggs. There is a constant flow of. water running through these eggs af all times. ) The eggs are batched from temp erature units obtained from the water. If the water supply is 50 degrees, the eggs would obtain eighteen heat units per 24 hours. At this water temperature, it would take 31 days to hatch a basket of rainbow trout eggs. Egg Raniaint When the fish are first hatched, they are called fry. The tail breaks out of the shell first, the head re mains, in the shell and the fry lives off the egg yolk of the still attached shell until it is absorbed in approximately 3 lo 4 weeks. There are eleven outside ponds which can carry 25.000 to 70,000 fisn. When the fish first start feed ing, they are fed every half hour for 6 weeks. The larger fish are fed six times a day. the amounts of feed to any one pond of fish is based on the pounds of fish in the pond. The trout are fed com' mercial feed,' the salmon and steel head are fed beef liver, lungs and inpe. An interesting sidelight on t h e hatched eggs, some fish are Sia mese twins, some with the body joined together and others with two heads and one . body. These are kept in a separate trough, and as they are not normal, do not live very long. There has been times when they have been kept alive for one to two years. Crook Dammed The hatchery water supply is ob tained by having a dam across Rock Creek. Henry J. Reed Is superintendent of the Hatchery. It is interesting to note, that there have been only five super intendents at the Rock Creek Hatchery in 40 years. Tipton Hill served 1921 lo 1927; Pat Lundv, 1927 to 1931; Lloyd Tucker. 1931 lo 1935; Jim Vaughn. 1935 to 1950 and Henry, Reed, 1950 to the pres ent. Jim Vaughn is the present district supervisor of the Game Commission in Roseburg. The Fish Commission regulates commercial fishing and the Game Commission controls the fishing sportsmen. Funds obtained from the hunting, fishing licenses and boat licenses, contribute to the sup port of the hatchery. - LI I .. I. 1 t is r " I 1 , x: i 7' 14 ..

MP Glide Kiwanis Club Organized In 1954 The Kiwanis Club of Glide was organized in March 1954, sponsor ed by the Kiwanis Club of Rose burg. The first officers of the Glide Kiwanis Club were, president, the late Carl Messing; vice president. Ben Scrafin, and secretary and treasurer, Arthur M. Selby. Only seven of the 29 charter members are now active in the club. Community Building Eyed The first meetings of the club were held in the Glide High multi purpose room, but the Glide Kiwan ians set as their goal a community building. In May 1954 the club se cured a lease with option to buy, approximately two acres from the Douglas Countv Court, the site of ject, as well as two S10O schol arships given each year to Glide High School students: sponsoring two students each year to attend Boys State and Girls State, and financial aid to the needy. The club's lalest project is the re-organization and chartering of the Glide Boy Scouts which had been inoperative for a year and a half. I .

In July 1957 the club took an op tion on the Mack Brown Building as a test run for a Community Building, remodeling the front part, a kitchen with facilities for cook ing and service bar, also furnish ing a comfortable lounge for meet ing. This venture proved unsuccess ful. in 1958, Glide residents formed a community club. The Kiwanis Club then turned over it's plans for a community building to the new club along with a long term lease on its lot at a SI per year rental.
