No Decision
Reached on
Trash Fish
Corvallis (U.R) The ques
tion of whether trash fish should
be killed out of Oregon's lakes
by poisoning or simply con
trolled by netting and trapping
was considered here Friday by
the Oregon State Game Com
mission, but no decision was
reached.
The commission is mulling pos
sibilities of cleaning out the
perch, catfish, carp and other
types of so-called trash fish from
several of the state's formerly
fine trout fishing lakes.
Commission fisheries experts
want to clear out the undesir
able fish by poisoning them with
rotenone. But this method drew
some heated opposition yesterday
from a delegation from Coos
county where one of the com
mission's most energetic cleanup
programs is planned for the Ten
miles lakes, about 12 miles north
of North Bend.
All agreed that fishing on the
lakes should be improved but
many of those appearing before
the commission did not want the
perch and catfish poisoned. They
felt these fish could be con
trolled by trapping and netting
and the restocking of Rainbow
trout and silver salmon still
could be undertaken with suc
cess. The commission heard all the
arguments then Chairman Del
bert Gildersleeve of Baker an
nounced that a decision would
be made at the earliest possible
date after all factors had been
considered.
Dr. John Rayner, chief of the
fisheries division, said the com
mission's proposed lake rehabil
itation program for 1955 would
cost $272,000, with Tenmile lakes
getting $97,000; Devils lake on
the north Lincoln county coast,
$10,000; Thompson valley reser
voir, $15,000; Lake of the Woods
in southern Oregon Cascades,
$50,000; Drews reservoir and
Dog lake, $30,000 and Miller lake
$70,000.

furt, Germany area employs 45

man dental assistants and X-ray
technicians in its clinics.
