ONE WEEK ONLY RICHFLAT WALL PAINT Interior Rubber-base MEDFORD PAINT CORPORATION 906 N. Riverside REES Probably one reason that there aren i xoo many nsh being re oorted is the fact that most of the anglers have been waiting lor tnat nrst fish and are only now. getting their boards out in the river. WALTONIANS ACT There was and interesting discussion concerning the pro posal of amending the present law restricting the waters of the Rogue river for industrial purposes, at the regular meet ing of Jackson County Chapt er of the Isaac Walton league held in the Jackson hotel last Monday ' evening. The club went on record as opposing this amendment. Contact was made subse quent to this meeting with some parties in favor of the amendment to ascertain just what was desired by it. It would appear that the mainreason for the proposal was to avoid frightening away interests which are or might be in the future investigating the Rogue valley as a possible site for the establishment of various types of industry. It was reported that the man who introduced the sub ject spoke of a pulp plant as one of these industries and of course this really set up a hue and cry for anyone who has ever lived near or even driven by such a plant has a difficult time forgetting the odors which permeate the surround ing countryside, not taking into consideration the large amounts of water needed or the detrimental effects of the waste products on the river and fish life. It was felt that this refer ence to a pulp plant should never have been made. NO DIFFICULTIES When the question was asked if the present law was causing any difficulties it was admitted that it was not at present time but there was talk of the possi bility that the city of Grants Pass could shut off the supply of water to a plywood plant, for instance which seems very un likely due to the economic situ ation. The . question was asked if this amendment w e r e j put through, would it make it possi ble for some unwanted industry to enter this open door and ser iously hinder or deter the pres ent fishery program. The answer stated that it might be possible but not probable because permis sion would have to be obtained from such agencies as the game commission, the health depart ment, the water resources board and others. However there was the possibility. WELL-FOUNDED DECISION From the foregoing, it would appear that the decision of the Isaak Walton chapter in op posing this is well founded for if the present law isn't caus ing any difficulty and the amendment might in the fu ture cause an unwanted situa tion there would seem to be little use for it. THINK TWICE Anyone taking a serious look at the level of the river last sum mer would think twice before proposing the taking of any ad ditional water. What we need first of all is a minimum flow throughout the summer and some thing which would keep the riv er at a lower temperature.
