October 17. 1956 Fanfare By DICK JEWETT Mjil Tribune Sports Editor tm Skiers of this area are already thinking about the forthcoming season on slats and a good num ber expected to go to Mt. Shasta in California or to Tomahawk hill 28 miles north of Klamath Falls for their week ends of recreation on snowy slopes rath er than to Crater Lake. Members of the Rogue Snov men ski club here have been informed that the Alpine West tern corporation will have a 2,000-foot T-bar ski lift ready by Dec. 1 for use on Snowman hill at Mt. Shasta. They have been told also that Don Divens will have Tomahawk hill with a 2-2000-foot slope in operation by the same time. That new slope will have a Poma lift. Rogue Snowmen still will have their portable tows avail able. However, these must be laborously set up each week end and a number of club mem bers feel they can get in more skiing by going to the spots where tows are already in place. SKI SHOP TO OPEN President Bill Brooks of the Rogue Snowman has an nounced plans io open a ski hop at 415 Oak st. about the middle, of next month. He Is converting a cabinet shop. Snow reports of Mt. Shasta will be available through his shop. 700 CAPACITY The new T-Bar lift at Mt. Shasta was made possible by seven businessmen of communi ties in that vicinity. It. of course, has the support of Mt. Shasta Ski club, representatives of which met with Rogue Snow men concerning the tow at the Brooks home recently. The tow will have an hourly capacity of 700 skiers. PREP COMPETITION Rogue Snowmen are to have their first meeting of the new season around the first of No ember. Brooks has reported that ski competition among high school students of south ern Oregon and northern Cali fornia is being talked.

MedfordvTribune Commission Explains Dead Fish Appearing In Klamath Reports of dead fish appearing in the Klamath river late in Sep tember have been confirmed and explained by the Oregon state game commission, it was re ported this week. Some reports indicated that thousands" of fish were killed due to lack of oxygen in the water on Sept. 22. after the flow of water down the river from Keno dam was decreased. Col. Paul H. Weiland, Med ford, a state director of the local Izaak Walton league, wrote the state game commission asking for added information, and last week received a reply from the commission. The flow was cut off through the joint action of the game com mission, the state engineer s ot- fice, and the California Oregon Power company, in an effort to determine the optimum mini mum flow for the river, the let ter said. The tests were made in connection with Copco's applica tion to build a new hydroelectric project at Big Bend, below Keno. TVie game commission report ed that its recommendations and those of Copco as to the neces sary flow to maintain fish life did not agree. The state engineer has the responsibility for mak ing the final decision. Fish Loss Sudden The letter said, "The flow at Keno was reduced gradually, starting about 7 a.m. Sept. 22, until a minimum of 27 cubic feet per second was reached. It was found necessary for observation purposes in the canyon below the Big Bend dam site to main tain this restricted flow until 1 p.m. Sept. 23. "The fish loss occurred sud denly in running water and, to a limited extent jonly, in potholes. Our fishery agent investigated the loss and determined that in the restricted flow from Keno to Spencer creek, fish died from lack of oxygen caused very largely by the decomposition of dead algae which was present in the running water and on the stream bed. There Was no oppor tunity to salvage fish under those circumstances." The letter concluded, "The loss of fish was regrettable, but cer tainly does point to the need for adequate minimum flows .in the Klamath river if we are to main tain any semblance of a sport fishery. Your interest in obtain ing the correct facts of the sit uation is appreciated. . .
