I . v The Deschutes River was closed to steelhead angling Aug.21 for the first time in history under emergency act ion taken by the Fish and Wildlife Commission. A much below normal run and a near failure in the "one-salt" segment of the run prompted the recommendation by De partment staff. Trapping at Sherars Falls on the Deschutes as part of the Department's ongoing re search program showed the run down 35 per cent compar ed with 1977 in mid-August. But equally important was the near absence of fish that had spent just one year in the ocean. This age group normal ly makes up 50 to 60 per cent of the Deschutes run but only 10 per cent of the fish trapped at Sherars Falls had been of this age group. In addition to the shortage this year, the weak one-salt age class means an almost certain shortage in the two-salt portion of next year's run. The low water spring of 1977 is apparently the major cause of the poor run. That year most of the water in the Columbia River went through power generating turbines at The Dalles and Bonneville dams and so, therefore, did many of the fish. The low run is reflected equally in both the wild and hatchery portions of the run. The Deschutes remains open to angling for trout and salmon. But steelhead, which are frequently caught while fishing for these other species, must be immediately released unharmed. The Columbia River was closed to steelhead fishing earlier in the month because counts at Bonneville Dam indicated a poor run. At the time there was no evidence of low runs to tributary rivers and it was thought the problem was due primarily to shortages of fish destined for thet Snake River , and its i tributaries. The Snake River; and tributaries,' which - had been scheduled to open for steelhead September 1, were also closed for the remainder printing 676-9228 a small Missouri paper. One day he received a letter from a subscriber, stating that he had found a spider in his paper, and asked if this was an omen of good or bad luck. Twain replied: "Finding a spider in your paper is neither good nor bad luck. The spider was merely looking over our paper to see which merchant was not advertising so that he could go to that store, spin his web across the door, and lead a life of undisturbed peace ever afterward. THE GAZETTE will keep of the year. At Commission request, let ters have been sent asking for a suspension of Indian dipnet fishing for steelhead ar Sher- ars Falls on the Deschutes and Columbia River above Bonne- Columbia River Compact. Herbicide recommendations draw industry praise for forests The decision by the Asst. Secretary of Agriculture to reduce his restriction on the aerial application of the herb icides 2,4,5-T and Silvex from with - one-quarter mile ., of streams to 200 feet was only a step in the right direction, a , .spokeman for theOregon i. Forest Industries ' Council, said today. ". t . "A 200 fooUmffer strip goes beyond what scientific evi dence tells us is necessary to protect water quality," said Al Wilson, director of forest information for OFIC, a seg ment of Associated Orgon Industries. "The June 1977 Environ mental Protection Agency report, 'Silvicultural Chemi cals and Protection of Water During Mark Twain's days as a the spider away from your door for a voluntary reduction of fishing effort during a sche duled commercial treaty Ind ian salmon season in the Quality', recommends a one ' half spray swath width along ' streams. That would be about 30 to 50 feet," said Wilson. ty "The Oregon Forest Prac tices Act requires a one-swath (60-100 foot) buffer strip along - Class I streams, roughlytwice the EPA recommendation. Because of. environmental f-petitions the State Board "of Forestry was forced to consi i der extending this buffer strip to 200rfeet. We believe the 'scientific testimony given be fore the board clearly shows this is an unnecessary precau tion," Wilson stated. The board is scheduled to its decision on this issue at a Sept. 27 meeting in Salem. "Numerous compromises have forced industry and newspaperman, he was - TIME ville Dam. Any mandatory curtailment of Indian fishing in the Columbia River would require an action by the government to give up more and more of their forest production capability," claim- ed Wilson. f, . "Asst. Secretary of Agricul ture Rupert Cutler's' recent move is a good example. He - ii n?j e - - inn originally, caiieu ior a foot 'buffer strip, then under pressure, he dropped backjo ' ' .200 feet. Yet the EPA states in. their study that 50 feet is k , . enougn protection, we can i continue to- compromise un- s necessarily and still jneet the needs of the nation for wood products." he said.
