Lamphreys Doom Great Lake Fishing
The lamphrey is a familiar sight along the, Willamette
and other Orepon rivers in the spring when the annual
migration occurs from the sea to the spawning beds, as it
climbs by the thousands by aid of its suctorial mdbth over
rocks, dams and other obstructions to its spawning beds in
upper streams.
The lamphrey looks like, and is commonly called, an eel,
but it is no relation, for it is anadromous, that is, spawns
in fresh water but slips downstream to mature in the ocean,
as the salmon docs. The eel is spawned in midoccan and
through several metamorphoses makes its way to fresh
water to mature- when it returns to the sea to spawn.
The lamphreys feed principally on fish to which they
attach themselves by their sucktorial mouths and then
scrape away the flesh with their rasp-like teeth. They
inhabit both salt water and fresh water, but those of the
sea ascend rivers and brooks to deposit their spawn on
pebbly shallows and die after spawning.
The marine lamphrey has come into the limelight lately
because of its appearance in the Great Lakes and its men
ace to their great fish industry. It was unable to pass
Niagara and was unknown to the lakes until 1921, when it
gained access through the Welland canal and hitch-hiked
there gradually into all of the lakes, working devastation
and rapid decimation of lake trout, white fish, suckers,
pickerel and carp.
Authorities in both Canada and the United States de
clare that unless the lamphery menace is brought under
control the $1?,000.000 fishing industry of the Great Lakes
is doomed, ind the many communities dependent upon
it are becoming ghost towns. It is doubtful if they can
be eliminated, unless natural parasitic checks can be dis
covered, as with insect pests.
The most effective way for their extermination to date
is the construction of artifical barriers and weirs in the
streams to trap and slaughter them, but there are so many
hundred spawning streams, that it is an almost impossible
task, and other efforts have come to a dead end. This ugly
repulsive primitive fish, with an average spawn of 62,000
fggs, is most prolific in propagation and they congregate
only in spawning time. The eggs hatch in one to three
weeks and tha cycle starts all over again.
The life cycle of the lamphrey ranges from 51,4 to 6'3
years. The first four or five years are spent in a larval
Rtage in the stream where it is hatched.' Then it is ready
for a metamorphosis that transforms it into the adult
blood hungry form.
'
' A large percentage of the fish taken during the past few
years in the lakes bear scars of the lamphrey and the catch
has diminished annually. In Lake Huron for 30 years
prior to 1940, the take of trout averaged 4 million pounds
annually. The catch is now down to 400,000 pounds, less
than a tenth of what it was because of the advent of the
lamphrey. And it is the same story with the other lakes.
The lamphrey is dealing a final blow to the fishing in
dustry. Congress authorized a survey of the lamphrey and a
program for its eradication by the Fish and Wild Life
service in 194li. and many of the facts about it have been
ascertained. An appropriation of $350,000 for continuing
the work has been asked. Canada and the states affected
are cooperating but with the best success it will be many
years before fishing is restored to its former basis, if ever.
Fog Acts As Reminder
Two more developments can be jotted down on the credit
side in Salem's book of arguments to keep United Airlines
service here.
When fog Monday night closed in the Portland airport,
JIcNary field here became the emergency landing spot for
two of the b'g DC-6 planes. One of the 50-passengcr type
of planes was from the east and one from San Francisco.
Both normally land at Portland.
Outside of Portland, the Salem field is the only one in
the vicinity with runways capable of handling the DC-Gs.
That was one of the main reasons why, during the Memor
ial day floods along the banks of the Columbia river last
year, that MoNiirv field was selected to act as the substi
tute field for Portland.
Under the circumstances, tTierefore, how can United
Airlines afford not to have an operations office here if for
no other reason than in case of emergency? This is leav
ing aside the large air freight shipments out of here,
along with the passenger and airmail load all repeatedly
brought out by the Capital Journal.
On the positive side, the city has decided to go ahead
with the development of the first wing of the administra
tion building at the airport. Salem puts up $20,000 and
the federal government $25,000 in the building program
that will start soon.
This indicates the city s willingness to proceed with
proper development of the airport, and thus strengthens
Salem's contention that it is determined to do everything
possible to develop the airport to meet the needs of Ore
Bon's capital and second city.

MacKENZIE'S COLUMN
Bonnie Prince Charlie Hits
Long Road to Kingship
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
4AI Forrltn Arftlrf Analyst)
Britain's Bonnie Prince Charlie Monday celebrated his first
birthday, thereby passing the initial milepost of a life journey
which even as he saw the first light of day was dedicated to the
interests of the public.
The tiny prince as son of Princess Elizabeth, heiress presump
tive to the im-
flown on several occasions. One
scathing letter written to the
secretary of the interior by the
president was the kind no presi
dent writes to a cabinet member
unless he wants him to resign.
Krug also had more of his in
terior department bills vetoed
than any other cabineteer in re
cent history. And when the head
of the cabinet, the president,
turns thumbs down on the legis
lative proposals of a member of
his own official family, you can
expect a resignation.
On top of all this, Krug got
himself involved in litigation ov
er a $750,000 loan he had floated
to finance the purchase of a tex
tile mill near Knoxville, Tenn.
This time, however, several of
the newsmen who knew what
was happening kept mum. They
were afraid that criticism once
again would arouse Truman's
ire, once again would freeze
Krug in the cabinet.
In a way, this is a reflection
on one of the chief functions of
the press namely to keep an
eye on and report the operations
of public officials. Nevertheless,
under Harry Truman's reverse
way of doing things, newspapers
sometimes have to work in re
verse, too.
The tragic fact about Julius A.
Krug is that most of his life he
was an A-l public servant. He
started with a great career. He
did a bang-up job .with the Ten
nessee valley authority, then
came into the cabinet at the age
of 36, the youngest secretary of
the interior in history.
What really put the political
skids under him, however, was
the girlie episode in Hollywood.
When the Brewster committee
got hold of Johnny Meyers' ex
pense accounts, with payments
listed to certain ladies for the
entertainment of "Cap" Krug,
well naturally Mrs. Krug didn't
like it.
She had been living on the
modest salary of a public offi
cial while her friends wore mink
coats and rode in swank conver-
Brookside mills, a textile fac
tory in Tennessee.
So far as this columnist can
see, there was nothing wrong
with "Cap" Krug's investment
in Brookside. He got his origin
al investment in the mill before
he entered the cabinet. It is true
that after he entered the cabinet,
he borrowed $700,000 to secure
control of the mill, and later
borrowed another $750,000 to
pay off the first loan. However,
this type of transaction is no dif
ferent from that practiced by
many businessmen today.
In Secretary Krug's case, how
ever, the deal hurt him in two
ways. In the first place, it de
tracted from the time he spent
in Washington. During many
weeks he lived five days a week
in New York, flew down to
Washington Friday morning for
cabinet meetings.
The only interior department
business in New York is Bedloes
Island, on which stands the Sta
tue of Liberty. Obviously Krug
could not have spent weeks in
New York worrying about the
upkeep of the Statue of Liberty.
The other way the textile deal
hurt him was that Nathan Shein
man, from whom Krug borrow
ed $750,000 on April 16, 1948,
now wants one phase of his
agreement arbitrated. He claims
that he was to be the exclusive
sales agent for Brookside mills
and that Krug and his partner,
Thomas Epstein, owe him $90,
000 in commissions.
To block this arbitration,
Krug andEpstein have asked for
an injunction in the New York
supreme court, claiming that
Sheinman's proposed arbitra
tion "represents a blatant at
tempt on Sheinman's part to
seize control of Brookside mills
through a misuse of arbitration."
Assuming that Krug is en
tirely tight, and Judge Bernard
Botein has ruled in his favor on
two out of three counts, never
theless it is difficult for any ca
binet officer to keep his mind
