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

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

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. The
court nxmi was filled with in
terested parties, estimated at
perhaps tk) attending.
