But the represen tative from Oregon's fourth dis trict said that there is no author ity apparently in existing laws for such an expenditure and that special legislature authorizing funds may be necessary. The word from Ellsworth was heard at the state IW directors' meeting Saturday at Eugene. It was contained in a telegram from the congressman to Dr. David Charlton, Portland, Waltonian national director. Ellsworth stated that securing passage of special legislation on the Savage Rapids dam (on Rogue river) matter would be both time consuming and diffi cult. He reported that he hopes to solve the, screening appropriation- matter by other means and is not giving up on his ideas un til he obtains answers to several specific questions. The congress man said he expected to have the answers early this week. Fish Destroyed Screening of the Savage Rap ids intake turbines of the Grants Pass turbines is sought to pre vent damage and destruction to downstream migrating fish. The turbines on the river have been described as possibly the No. 1 factor in the decline of salmon and steelhead runs on the Rogue. Jackson county chapter of the Izaak Walton league has taken steps in the efforts to get federal appropriation for installation of the four screens required. Presi dent Norton Smith and State Director Paul Weiland of the lo cal chapter have done much of the writing and negotiating in connection with this project.
