April 14, 1957 Josephine Izaak League Opposes High River Dam . Grants Pass The Josephine county chapter of the Izaak Wal ton League Thursday took a stand against federal legislation calling for a high dam on the Rogue river at Lewis creek until the Army Engineers have com peted their survey. The stand was proposed by J. E. Bartlett, the chapter's repre sentative to the Rogue Basin Control and Water Resources as sociation. The bureau of recla mation has proposed a high dam at that location. Bartlett also expressed this stand at a meeting of the flood control association in Medford on March 25. At that time it was brought out that the Army en gineers had completed their sur vey, showing a loss of $4,000,000 to the area in the 1955 flood. The engineers are currently con ducting a study to determine the best 'flood control system that can be devised for the valley. Shows Willingness Congressman Charles O. Port er has indicated willingness to introduce flood Control legisla tion and will confer with resi dents of Grants Pass and Med ford during the Easter- Congres sional recess. Bartlett told chapter members Thursday that he feels better flood control and irrigation could be achieved through a series of dams on Rogue tribu taries, than through one high dam. Under such an arrange ment, he said, the Rogue river can have both flood control and steelhead.runs. Bartlett indicated willingness to go along with the Army engi neers if their survey finally in dicates a high dam is the only solution to the flood problem.
