Hells Canyon Recreation Views Given WASHINGTON (A - Spokesmen for two federal agencies said Thursday the Idaho Power Co. three-dam plan for the Snake Riv er has more possibilities for hunt ing and fishing than the proposed federal Hells Canyon project. But they said there would be lit tle difference in possibilities for other types of recreation between the two plans. Their views were voiced at Power Commission hearing on Id aho Power s applications for li censes to build three power dams. James T. McBroom. coordinator. Office of River Basin Studies, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Ben H. Thompson, Recreation Planning Division chief, National Park Service, were the witnesses. McBroom said the three-dam plan would afford "slightly better recreational opportunities for hunt ing and fishing" because two of the three proposed reservoirs would maintain relatively stable water levels and would "destroy somewhat less deer habitat" He said any dam in the Helk Canyon area would have adverse effects on the movement of salmon which spawn in the Snake River. Hearing examiner William J. Costello asked whether the Fish and Wildlife Service had given any consideration to the feasibility of . building ladders to carry the fish over the dams. "The are not considered feasible in a sense that no stretch of a river ever has been successfully laddered at those heights (heights of the proposed dams)" McBroom replied.
