As in the past with new fish ing lakes of this kind, angling during the 1968 summer fishing ! season will be supported by plants of legal-sized trout plus j the release of substantial nura i bers of large fingerlings. The j fingerlings are expected to grow well during the summer, and 1 some should enter the sport I fishery by fall of that year, j From then on, the Game Com mission will make annual plants of fingerlings to sustain a trout fishery. j Jubilee Meadows has been on : the Commission's priority .list for a number of years, but fi nancing was not available un : til the present biennium. It will 1 be the first impoundment con structed with sportsmen's funds since the completion of Canvon Creek Lake in 1962 and will bo the sixth impoundment con structed by the Game Commis sion specifically for fishing. Other lakes built with ang ling license fee money include Trillium Lake to the south of Mr. Hood, Cottonwood Meadows in the Fremont National Forest out of Lakeview, Bull Prairie Lake in the Umatilla south of Heppner, Canyon Creek Lake .near John Day and Lofton Res 'ervoir, which was the complete j renovation of an old existing I impoundment. Anglers are in sured free access to all of these I lakes. ! In addition, the Commission I has assisted financially in the j construction of several private j impoundments in return for j guaranteed minimum pool and i public fishing rights, and has I purchased outright Fish Lake in the Steens and Yellowjacket Many Attend BLM Hearing; Decision Felt Year Away Quarter Horse Tune-up Winners Picked Private development of the Bureau of Land Management lands in north Morrow county, if they were offend for sale to the public, would in no way deter the possible development of a larger Bureau of Reclama tion project at a Uter date in the area. This was the assurance given at the Bureau's hearing in the Morrow countv courthouse Julv 12 on the 12.000 acres of BLM land. Small farmers had opposed the BLM sale at the hearing on the grounds that it would pre vent them from obtaining any of the land. They stated a pref erence for the lands to he trans ferred to the Bureau of Recla mation which could then sell it in small parcels tit a future time. If this transfer were not feas ible, the small farmers urged that the land go through the Desert Land Entry Act of 1S7T. Morrow County Judge Paul Jones, on behalf of the county court, strongly recommended in a 4 page statement that the lands be sold under the 1874 act as being in the best interest of the county. If they were sold under the 1964 act. some pro vision would need to be made for zoning, as required by the act, but residents of north Mor row countv have resisted zoning in hearings on the matter to date, the judge said. "The county Is therefore against use of the 1964 sale act since it would force zoning up on people opposed to it," Jones declared. He said this course would only lead to "further con fusion and delays in develop ing the land." He pointed out that the coun ty is anxious to have the land go into private development and on the tax rolls. The 1S74 act seems to be the best manner in which to accomplish this, he added. George Corey, attorney for Fred Andrews of Echo who' owns most of the private land check erbonrded with the BLM land, made a statement indicating that the family would buy the BLM land if given Die oppor tunity under the 1874 act. Robert Lanky of the Bureau of Reclamation made the state ment that private development of the land would have no ad verse effects on nnv future large reclamation project. He said the bureau has planned n recon naissance Miidv of about X, jtVO acres In the iin'n. known , as the Columbia South Side Pro 1 jcot The 3 year study now (n w.i its a congressional appro j pnalion. J Marlon Green appeared on be half of the county planning j commission, and a statement iwas read bv Judge Jones for W. jC Kosewall. chairman of the I county planning commission. A number of others gave j statements at the hearing, but some landowners and other in dicated that they would submit written statements to go Into j the record. They have a ;U) diiy j periiM in which to do this. I The matter will then go to I the Portland office uf the BLM. and consequently to Washing ton, D. C for consideration and j review. j Some have expressed the be lief that a decision would be j forthcoming bv fall, but Judge i Join's believes that it will take a year before a final decision is made. Chester Conard. manager of the Baker office of the Bureau of Land Management, conduct ed the hearing. Other BLM of fulais were also present.
