i ialem Closes Schedule Tonight Against No. 1 Mibaukie ASSOCIATED PRESS UNITED PRESS Page 12 Salem, Oregon, Tuesday, February 23, 1954 gSi By BOB BROWN Jfcy j We . ' ' . , I the U-1 - 1 BOB BROWN THE MAIL COMES THROUGH Lettcri from our reader! are always appreciated, and we are happy to note that such letters to thii column are becoming more and more frequent. Two recent communications gave us food for thought. 1 One of from Mr. William O'Neill, of Gardner Road, Salem, who mentions the fact that coast streams are not what they once were. in art, ne writes: The removal of timber, fires, more farm land, has permitted faster run-off of water, scouring of gravel bars, exposing of solid rock Instead of gravel, settling of mud and silt in eddies, covering spawning beds, on near ly all coast streams . . . Years ago It took a few inches of rain to muddy a stream, now a good shower will do it" Mr. O'Neill inquires why it would not be a good idea to build tip streams on the west slope of the Cascades to support steelies, streams such as the Clackamas, Molalla, Santiam and McKetuie rivers. Our answer is that it would be an excellent idea, and in fact, progress has already been made in the direction of im proving west slope streams, don't know too much about Molalla. but we do know that there are run of fish in the Clack' amas and North Santiam. As for the McKenzie, we have never heard of steelhead that far south. Someday, tributary streams of the Willamete may hold ex cellent steelhead runs. PROGRESS AGAINST POLLUTION CITED Our second letter helps explain this. It's from our friend. Dr. Kermit Peterson, Ore. Stale Veterinarian. Kermit comments on a recent article of ours about stream pollution, and enclosed a copy of the Oregon Health Bulletin. The Bulletin has this to say about progress being made to eliminate pollution: "Adequate sewage treatment systems will be serving about 901 of Oregon's total sewered population when projects now under construction are completed, according to a 1953 progress report issued by the State Sanitary Authority." The report contains many impressive statistics, revealing the progress we are making to clean up sewage disposal problems.. Now the matters of sewage disposal and the improvement of streams for steelhead are tied closely together. FISH AND PEOPLE NEED OXYGEN Fish need oxygen in the water in order to live. Pollution in streams robs the water of this life-giving element During the summer months, especially, the Willamette has been practically an open sewer for much of its distance. At Portland, the oxygen has been so lacking during these periods that fish could not survive. What this means, is that in the past, migrating fish have had a tough time running the gauntlet of this deadly water. This has been a factor that has strongly contributed to the elimination of runs of steelhead and salmon up the Willamette and its tributaries. Thus, if pollution is largely eliminated, fish again will have a chance to migrate successfully. Then it will be possible fur the game commission to work effectively to restore runs of migratory fish lo our western Cascade streams. While all this talk of sewage disposal may sound pretty dull to a lot of folks, to the angler it means fish on the line days of fun and relaxa tion, not only to him, but lo those who come after him. Every body has a stake in making the waters of Oregon clean again. IMilwaukie BeatViks On Jan. 5 The Salem high Vikings close out their regular season sched ule tonight with a non-league con test with the strong Milwaukie Mustangs, rated the number one team in the state with 19 wins and one loss. Salem will be gun ning lor an upset win to add to their win over Eugene Friday. Salem .although they downed high ranked Eugene, dropped to ninm in me recent poll, mainly because of a Joss to Albany. The Vikings have a 13-8 record, with all the losses to teams ranked in the top six. They have beaten fourth ranked Roosevelt, third ranked Eugene, sixth ranked Al bany, and tenth ranked Grants Pass.

Milwaukie is composed of a veteran squad, including fine backboard men Elmen Bloedel and Bill Fredericks. Thev are fast and large. Their lone loss was at the hands of seventh ranked Gre sham.
