E CLAIMS DAM VILL DEWY ROGDE FISH C. A, Lockwood, assistant game supervisor of the State Game commission testified to day at the hearing in the suit of the Oregon State Game Com mission against the Beaver-Portland Cement company, for a per manent injunction restraining the cement company from oper ation of a recently constructed dam in Rogue river, near Gold Hill. Lockwood testified that In his opinion and from observations recently made, the 125-second feet flow in the river was not sufficient for the passage of migratory fish upstream. He stated the fish would be at tracted into the tail-race of the canal and linger there, instead of going on upstream to their spawning waters. Lockwood further testified If the fish were delayed too long their spawn would be lost, through the failure of the fish to travel to their natural spawn ing waters. The court and counsel viewed the dam last Saturday, and the water flow was stipulated at 125 second feet in the main channel, with the water turned into the canal. Other witnesses scheduled to testify today were State Police Game Warden Ed Walker, and P. C. Bigham, a veteran fisher man of the Rogue. Attorney Kenneth G. Denman is representing the Rogue River Sportsmen association at the hearing, which is expected to last another day. BEN GEARY HELD THREE DRIVERS Robert F. McDonald.
