Madsen " Farm Editor, The Statesman . .' :) ;; ' - ' ' SILVERTON-"Attack Si Morton Tompkins, state grange master, against the state game commission and its "misuse of funds in issuing the commission monthly bulletin," along with his reference to the com mission as a "glorified Izaak Walton League," drew fire from members . mt the Izaak Walton league over the week-end. . , "The charge' of Tompkins is hard to substantiate," said George M. Christenson, secretary-treasurer of the Izaak Walton League of Amer ica; Oregon division. "The bulletin is published at the request of the sportsmen of which I happen to be ne. This is from our own money, the license money, and the infor mation it contains is for the bene- r fit of all concerned." In specific reference to Cole Riv er's article, which recently , ap pea red in the bulletin, Christenson stated that this "is the biologists' report giving t factual information gained by h j study of the Rogue river. The same facts were pre tented at the reclamation hearing In Medford in 1948 by the game commission. The material has been public property for sometime and yet Tompkins at that time did hot eject." "The Rogue river," Christenson continued, "is a multiple purpose river and - should be classed as such. It is true that reclamation and irrigation is a part of the development of the Rogue, but (he people of Oregon, "by their vote have made the Rogue a sports' fishing stream. It is known the world over as a steelhead and sal mon fisherman's paradise."' He poke of the "dwindling stock" in .the Rogue as a problem that should be treated as a national one. The state division of the Izaak Walton league, is now negotiating with the game commission and the . reclamation - authorities for the ecccning of the Savage Rapids' dam, Christenson said. The loss of aahnon and Jhe steelhead finger lings is appalling. If they cannot 'properly screen the existing dams and ditches "then how can we ex pect them to properly screen fuf ther development?" Christenson asked. . ' . Christenson spoke'of the D. H. Barber plan as a "proper ap proach." This, he explained, would place a dam on Evans creek, a tributary to the Rogue, which would impound water for irriaa . tion, storing a supply for .two or three years. It would in no wav. Christenson added. Impair the , main channel and would cost far Jess .than the proposed dam at the wwn or Trail. i - The cost j? the number one plan proposed by1 fee bureau of reclam ation for the development of the fmwjwi '.JiHiunni'imw mmam mm mum K'WHWMywmugttMj ; ' ; . : i ' - " v.: : f t :-. - .c Z , : y COMMISSIONER Dr. George NT.' Shuster (above), president f Hunter College. New York, has been appointed State Commissioner for Bavaria, U. S. sone of occupied Germany, Rogue, Christenson stated, would cost 190,000,000 or $635 per acre to put water on the land to be benefitted. However, he goes on. the farmer would only be re- nuired to rnv 1128 ner arr for this service. In effect, the bureau offers to the land owner $423 free gratis of the taxpayer s money." The state division of the Izaak Walton league will ask Gov. Dou glas McKay, before any further development of the Rogue Is made to hold a public hearing in Salem at which time all concerned may have an equal chance to present their facts. Christenson concluded with the statement that he i how has v on hand a copy of the report of the national resources legislative in terim committee on the bill to be submitted to the next legislature for i approval. The! committee is headed by Ben Day of Gold Hill. He added that he did favor the development of the Rogue for ir rigation, recreation land otherwise but thought the "plan should "be one fair for all and biologically sound." , IMG.
