MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1941. PAGE NINE SPORTSMEN TOLD .ROGUE FISHING Rogue River has been affect ed by civilization more than any other stream in the state, and from one of the finest fishing streams in Oregon it has grad ually gone "down, down, down," Frank Wir, state game com mission supervisor, told some 50 persons attending the an nual banquet sponsored by the Rogue River Sportsmen's club and the Central Point Sports men's club in Hotel Medford Friday night. The construction of dams and Irrigation ditches, and mining activities, has caused serious de pletion of fish in the river. Wire said, and added that he was "scared of what the army can - tonment, If and when it is built, 0 will further do to the river." The strain on the river is heavy enough now, Wire stated. "If the cantonment Is built," he said, "the river is certain to be forced to bear a much heavier burden." Switching to a discussion of the big game situation in Ore gon, Wire said the state was third in the nation in elk pop ulation, third in antelope pop ulation, fourth in mule deer population and second in black tail population. He said that more big game was killed this year than ever before. Wire pleaded with all sports men to cooperate with the game commission and with law en forcement officers, and said that 95 percent of the hunters and fishermen were honest and! didn't need officers to enforce uie laws. E. E. Wilson, chairman of th state game commission, predict ed that fishing seasons would be shortened and bag limits de creased In Oregon in the future, and expressed .the belief that sportsmen would accept the re ductions gracefully. j Wilson stated th hatchery near Butte Falls would be turned over to the game commission, probably by the first of the year. Plans are be ins made tlV th Mmmlclnn make improvements at the naxcnery, such as building race ways to raise better cutthroat trout, he said. It was emnhanlTMl hv Wll that hatcheries were not the main solution for of fish stock in streams and lanes, that natural propagation was much more important. Charles Lockwood, assistant supervisor of the came mmmlt sion, gave a review of the scien tific survey being made by the commission in Rogue river, and its tributaries, as well as in other parts of the state, explain ing that much data was being gathered concerning the food ana naoits of the fish. Lockwood said that ae a rm. suit of this survey, the com mission leu it had enough evi dence to win any future court cases similar to the Kubli liti gation, which the commission lot. The planting of fish was be ing done according to findings of the surveys, Lockwood ex plained. He said that trout were not beinff Dlantpd until thpv h- came from six to eight inches long, thus insuring a 90 per cent survival instead of about 10 percent for trout two inches long. Kenneth G.

The dam, he stated, will be a threat to mi gratory fish and will destroy ap proximately 15 miles of excel lent spawning ground. He said his organization, along with the Oregon Wildlife Federation, was opposed to its construction. Workins in close cooperation with the commission, the Rogue River Sportsmen's club has screened all ditches in the county except some in the Ap plegate, Denman said. Despite this screening program, he said there was a continuous loss of fish, but that "we feel we are accomplishing a whole lot." Denman said Copco had built one new fishway at Gold Ray dam and was building an other, to be completed by next spring. "We will never get any place In the field of conservation until we sportsmen see that the laws are carried out," Denman observed. He added that the majority of sportsmen were co operating, saying that most of BEATS RUBES 48-31 Ashland, Dec. 8 (IP) Paced by Forward Wes Peters, South ern Oregon College of Educa tion won its basketball opener from Rubenstein'i Oregonians, 48 to 31. last night.
