AM EXT DAM NOT TAKEN OUT BY RECENT FLOODS The Anient tyra abov Grants Pass was not carried out by the re cent flood as was rumored along tho river, according to Game Warden P. H. Dally, who returned Wednesday afternoon from a visit to the dam. tho the high water has seriously dam aged the structure and destroyed the effectiveness of the flshways, rendering the ascent of the fish more of a problem than ever the coming season. In the center of the dam, where the newer concrete portion joins the old crib work of logs, a hole ha3 been washed under the logs and the water Is shooting under with1 tre mendous force. The structure creaks and groans and trembles so that an other freshet would probably sweep away the log portion of the dam, says Mr. Dally. At present the fish are ascending thru the holes In the crib work and the penstocks, tho the network of Iron rods Injures many fish. Sheldon's bill authorizing the con demnation and removal of the dam passed the house Tuesday. Medford Tribune. ' t . . OLD AGE CALLS PIONEER MIXER TO FINAL REST Sebastian A.
