One of the first jobs tackled after flood waters receded was the repair of the South Umpqua fishway which was filled with gravel, boulders, and other- de bris rendering the ladder in operable. Some damage was also done to the concrete sidewalls and aprons. Water Through Fishway Two days were required by a crew of eight men equipped with suction pumps and .shovels to remove the debris from the lad der. The most important part of the clean-up was accomplished when water was again flowing through the fishway allowing steelhead and " salmon to pass above the falls. All concrete rer pair work will be carried out at a later date. Stream clean-up is also being carried out by game commission biologists throughout the coast al areas. Log jams blocking the most important steelhead and salmon streams or tributaries will be removed nrst witn jams in streams of lesser importance cleaned up as. time permits.

"It's some thing wonderful. Everybody has been awfully nice."

Return , yesterday to Mar- ' tinez was made by bus to Duns muir and by train from there. For the boys, most of them 12-year-olds, the trip was a busi ness proposition.

Texas A&M 67 Pacific 65, Willamette .60 with Tom MacLeod, sports authority and KYJC sports announcer Tom Moore Said Caught In Backwash By HAL WOOD San Francisco (U.PJ Tom Moore, the director of the Calif ornia Relays who' was accused of paying miler Wes Santee about S400 over the maximum expense money permitted, will have his case placed before the Pacific Association of the AAU Friday night. The association is expect ed to appoint a committee to in vestigate the AAU's charges. San Francisco U.R) Let's bring some of the backwash of the Wes Santee "disbarment from amateur athletics for life" case out into the open. . ' - Tom Moore, director of the California relays, goes on trial tomorrow for allegedly paying Santee too much money to com pete in a half-mile run against Lon . SDurrier at Modesto last spring. Santee, incidentally, won against the world record holder. Moore, one of the true ama teurs and lovers of track and field, is in the middle of this case. He is being accused of pay ing Santee something like $400 to appear at his relays which are run 24 hours after the Coliseum relays in Los Angeles 300 miles away. "See My Agent" A member of the Pacific Asso ciation AAU told me this: "What could Moore do if he was to get Santee to' run? He called Santee, and. the miler told him: "See my agent " Moore refused to dicker 'With the agent,, but finally got to gether with Santee on a price. Santee didn't get any more, probably less, from Moore than he received for running several other places. Still, Tom is on the nan for "over-paying., Tom . Moore Is. a. former hurdles champion from the Uni versity of California. At one time he held the American record. Since his graduation he has been very interested in the promotion of track and field meets, r He originated the Cali fornia ' relays at Modesto about a dozen years ago and has per sonally lifted them up to rank with the top events in the coun try; . v Aside 'from this. Moore serves as official'starter at many'AAU- sanctioned meets throughout the1 west, for which; he refuses to ac cept a cent of pay. ; '- Tf Moore really had wanted to cheat, he could have charged the relays for his. services as a starter, then handed the money to Santee as a personal, gift. For being honest, of -' course, Moore now faces disciplinary action. ; Good Survival Of Yearling Deer Noted in Survey Portland Herd composition j surveys on Oregon's deer- herds to determine the ratio of bucks, does, and fawns were recently completed accordng to' Bob Mace, chief of big game, Oregon Game Commission. West of the Cascade moun tains, field biologists classified a total of. 3,426 black-tailed deeri The average showed 31 bucks per 100 does and 65 fwns per 00 does. ' The number of fawns showed a decline of eigHt per cent from the average of the . past four years The decline is evident in all western: districts but parti cularly 'noticeable in Hood Riv er' and Wasco counties. Hovever, field biologists re ported a substantially higher number of yearlings through out the districts indicating a good survival last winter. -19,186 Classified East of the mountains, a to tal, of 14,186 mule deer were classified. The tally showed an increase in the percentage of bucks in each herd whereas the fawn ratio remained, about the same as in previous years. In all probability, the -improved ratio remained about the same as in previous years. In all prob ability," the improved sex ratio of 29 bucks per 100 does is traceable to the more liberal harvest of anterless animals last fall. : . Population sample routes are now being run by the district agents to determine the trend in. population numbers. Herd composition counts are taken in late. winter and early' spring when the big game animals are concentrated at .low elevations on their winter ranges.
