COMMITTEE FINDS
OF
TRAPPEDBY DAM
"A deplorable condition at Savage
Rapids dam," where thousands of
salmon are congregated In droves un
able to answer the urge of nature,
which would carry them on Into the
upper river, Is the report brought
back to Medford this afternoon by
members of the fish and game com
mittee of the chamber of commerce,
who Inspected the dam this morning,
accompanied by a caravan of 7S
sportsmen from this cly and Ash
land. The Inspection trip was Inspired by
complaints voiced by sportsmen from
all localities. Formal report will be
made by the committee at an early
date to the chamber of commerce and
sent on to the state fish commission.
Members of the local committee
making the trip were O. O. Alender

state fish and game commission, and
Bert Noblltt of the Jackson County

There were no representatives of the
Omits Pass Irrigation district, opera
tors of the dam, present today. They
however visited the dam yesterday
with Cowgtll and Noblltt In an at
tempt to remedy the regrettable con
dition. While some salmon are making the
ascent over the fish ladder, commit
tee members stated this afternoon,
the many thousands gathered on this
side of the river are unable to con
tinue their natural Journey up the
river under the prevailing conditions.
They will Insist In their formal report
that steps be taken In the very near
future to correct the evil.
On the north side of the river,
where the ladder Is Installed the fish
are making the ascent with ease. An
observer last evening between five
and six o'clock watched 113 salmon
make the trip and this morning be
tween five and aU-thirty o'clock re
ported 340 went over the ladder. The
need, the committee members state,
demonstrated by this observance, Is
for a ladder on the south side of the
river. This need has been voiced for
years by the members of the Jackson
County Oame Protective association.

CONGRESSMAN
HAWLEY'S
HOOEY
The most Important and con.
structive piece of legislation ever
enacted by congress, which effected
the welfare of 17 counties in the
Willamette valley and southern
Oregon, was what Is known as ths
O. & C. land grant bill, which re
sulted in the reversion of millions
of acres to the government and Its
subsequent removal from the tas
roll. The loss of millions of dol
lars in taxes became such a serloui
matter, that an effort was made In
congress to reimburse these coun
ties in an amount equal to what
the railroad had been paying. Ths
remedial legislation was passed and
upwards of $0,000,000 has already
been spread among these counties
and continuing millions of dollars
will be paid In the future, until

LAND GRANT BILL
Senator Robert N. Stanfield, who
was chairman of the public lands
committee of the United States sen
ate brought the committee, at the
request of Honorable William H.
Gore, to Medford to hear about the
O. & C. land grant. This hearing
was held on September 5, 1925 at
Medford.
Senator Stanfield drafted a bill,
which was enacted Into the law
without amendment and is now
known as the O. Si C. land grant
tax relief law. Senator Stanfield
introduced this bill In the senate
February 1, 1926. He then, in my
presence, asked congressman Haw
ley to introduce the same bill in
the house so as to expedite the
.enactment. Congressman Hawley
refused to Introduce the bill and as
sume responsibility for it as he had
no faith in its passage, for he said
there was no precedent for such
legislation, but he would introduce
at as "by request." Senator Stanfield
declined this offer and said such an
Introduction would be fatal to the
bill in the house, for it would evi
dence that the sponsor had so little
faith in the legislation that he
wanted the house to know he wai
only acting in an accommodation
manner. Hawley was obdurate.
Senator Stanfield then wrote and
wired the various counties to send
representatives to Washington to
assist in securing the passage ol
the bill, the most important mattei
was to induce Mr. Hawley to In
troduce the bill in the house. He,
Hawley, steadfastly refused to spon
sor the bill until Hon. William H.
Gore told him that if he did not
sponsor the bill, he would not like
ly be returned to congress. Hawley
then acquiesced, but displayed lit
tle further interest in the measure.
He never assisted on the floor of
the house in the passage of the
measure.
Honorable N. J. Slnnott, congress
man from another district, at the
requets of Senator Stanfield and
Honorable W. H. Gore, Mr. Gore
having remained in Washington un
til its passage, took charge of the
bill and secured its passage in the
house.
Senator Stanfield reported the
house bill to the senate and substi
tuted it for his bill In the senate,
and secured its final passage, July
1, 1928.
Judge Weathcrford of Linn coun
ty, Judge Mast of Coos county, Guy
Cordon of Douglas county and Hon.
W. H. Gore were the delegates
from Oregon who came to Washing
ton to assist in securing the pas
sage of the bill.

of the senate public lands
committee during the time in
which the O. c C. tax grant
land relief bill was created
and enacted into law.

BERTHA GOR1ZALES.
Notary Public for Oregon,
Mr. Stanfield is a candidate foe
re-election to the U. S. senate; h
has proven his ability and as a
token of gratitude for services ren
dered, he should receive every vote
from these 17 counties. When a
candidate, such as Mr. Hawley,
Claims credit for leclslation In
which he refused to allow his name
to be attached and in which he
had no faith, and subsequently
claimed all the glory, the district
should not re-elect him to the of
fice of congressman, but should
vote for James W. Mott, a man of
splendid legislative abllltv and who
represented the state in the house
of representatives from Marlon end
Clatsop counties in three sessions.
