the minds of several state offic

last year.

liams, the Medford dinner will
have Gov. Robert D. Holmes
here to introduce the guest
speaker, and Congressman
Charles O. Porter who will act
as master of ceremonies. Ore
gon's first lady will also attend,
having sent her own persona!
letter of acceptance to the local
committee.

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.
