Director Says State
IWL Will Approve
Rogue Flood Control
Jt E. Bartlett, Grants Pass, a
director of the state Izaak Wal
ton League, said Tuesday night
that the Oregon league would
approve whatever measures a
basin-wide survey should find
necessary for flood control on
the Rogue river.
Bartlett spoke at a meeting of
the Rogue Basin Flood Control
and Water Resources association
board of directors at the Jack
son county courthouse auditor
ium. He spoke as a representa
tive of the state league.
Opposed High Dam
The Izask Walton league pre
viously has opposed flood con
trol measures in the Rogue bas
in if they included construction
of a high dam on the grounds
that it would be injurious to
fish life in the river.
No representative of the Med
ford chapter of the Izaak Wal
ton league, which has indicated
it will continue to oppose con
struction of a high dam on the
Rogue, was present at Tuesday's
meeting.
Ralph Moore, Grants Pass, le
gislative committee chairman
for the flood control association,
reported that federal fish and
game commission surveys were
now in progress in the Rogue
basin to determine effects of
floods and possible flood control
on wildlife.
McKay's Letter
Moore read a letter from Sec
retary of the Interior Douglas
McKay which stated that Mc
Kay had ordered the wildlife
surveys and that a report was
to be made in the near future.
Moore also read a communica
tion from Representative Harris
Ellsworth in which Ellsworth
outlined a bill he introduced to
the house of representatives
March 7 which has since been
referred to the public works
committee. The bill calls for a
complete comprehensive survey
of the Rogue basin, taking into
consideration flood control, and
the development of water resour
ces. Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, a
member of the state game com
mission, indicated that the com
mission would be favorable to
whatever measures a survey of
the basin should deem necessary
for flood control.
About 40 people attended the
meeting here. A general meeting
of all individuals and groups af
filiated with the flood control
association has been called for
April 10 at the Gold Hill city
hall.

plegate school cafeteria. Guest
speaker for the evening will be
State Patrolman Rafe Anders.
Visitors are welcome.
When asked how the Fisher
men's club got started, Mrs. Cur
tis Gerhardt of Applegate, re
lated this story. It began one
sunny day on the Applegate
river when Jimmy Christensen
sat patiently waiting for his first
fish to bite. His parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Arion Christensen, had
placed a stick in his hand, with
a string and a bent hairpin for
a hook, tied to the end of it.
They decided to teach him the
real art of fishing, but the plans
were disrupted, when Jimmy
was taken to the hospital for an
operation. During his confine
ment, Mrs. Gerhardt wrote an
encouraging letter, promising to
take Jimmy up to Squaw Lake,
and that he would catch his first
fish. Jimmy speedily recovered,
and true to her promise, Mrs.
Gerhardt, together with Mrs.
Carl Herriott and her three chil
dren, Sally, Mary, and Tommy
went fishing in Squaw Lake. To
Jimmy's wild delight, he did
catch the first, and biggest, fish.
A second fishing expedition
was planned. It was David Prow
ell, a participant on the second
trip, who suggested starting a
Fisherman's club. Prior to this
trip, David and his mother, Mrs.
Virgil Prowell had attended a
4-H Fair, and seen a fishing
club display, which inspired this
suggestion. On Nov. 23, 1955,
the Applegate Fisherman's club
was organized, with Mrs. Ger
hardt as leader, Mrs. Carl Her
riott, assistant leader, Jerry
Rowden, junior leader, Vincent
Fremantle, president, Michael
Elmore, vice-president, Terry
Langley, secretary, Sally Her
riott, news reporter, and Jimmy
Christensen, song leader.
The club now boasts of 23
members, ranging from, ages 9
Governor Praises
Commission Members
Salem U.R) Gov. Elmo
Smith told members of the Ore
gon Recreation committee Tues
day that people of the state
benefit greatly from the services
of scores of persons who serve
on various state boards and com
missions without pay.
The governor praised com

tributions to state government.
He said it brought state govern

provided them with an opportu
nity to participate and express
their views.
The recreation committee
spent most of the afternoon dis
cussing the possibilities of creat
ing a division of recreation with
in the state division of parks.
Since it was not known what
the outcome of hearings on the
proposal to establish a separate
bureau will be, the committee
decided to sponsor a bill in the
next legislature to create an
Oregon board of recreation.
