Log Jams
Cleared Out
Of Streams
Portland Final tallies In
stream improvement work
during 1957 show some 80 log
jams which either blocked
completely or hindered fish
migrations were removed
from 38 streams or tributary
streams in nine western Ore
gon counties, the Oregon game
commission said today. The
stream clearance work opened
up more than 70 miles of ad
ditional spawning territory for
salmon, steelhead, and trout.
. In addition to the log jams
removed, eight old beaver
dams were cleared so fish
could pass, a rock falls which
held up migrating fish was
blasted out, an old mill dam
which completely blocked fish
migrations was removed, and
two stream channels choked
with large boulders were
cleared.
Excellent cooperation was
received from the lumber in
dustry and other agencies, the
commission said, in keeping or
clearing streams of log jams
and other debris to allow mi
grating fish free access to the
spawing grounds. Without
such cooperation, the excel
lent headway made in stream
improvement work would not
have been possible.
Mention Given
Mentioning out just a few,
the commission pointed out
the clearance work of the Gil
more brothers, contractors for
Pope and Talbot Lumber com
pany, who removed a tremen
dous log jam almost one
fourth mile in length from
the Molalla river. The Harris
Lumber company in the same
vicinity removed several log
jams and debris from Milk
creek, tributary of the Molal
la. Along the coast, Georgia
Pacific sent a crew into Mill
creek, tributary of the Siletz,
and cleared all jams and de
bris so steelhead and silver
salmon could reach upstream
spawning gravel.
Most of the stream improve
ment work took place on
spawning tributaries of costal
streams although some work
was required in Hood River
and Clackamas counties. On
several coastal streams the
fish commission and game
commission collaborated in re
moving fish stopping block
ades. Probably the largest job
completed during the year by
the game commission was the
removal of 53 log jams from
Elk, Peterson and Sleezer
creeks, important spawning
tributaries of the Smith river
in Douglas county.

Yreka, Calif. Road condi

day storm climaxed Thursday
morning with a seven -inch
snowfall on the Siskiyous.
Road repair crews were
kept busy by the storm which
dumped more than 7 inches
of rain in some Siskiyou coun
ty locations. At least one
bridge, on Horse creek, was
reported washed out. Several
others have not been checked.
Bridge approaches in sev
eral locations were either
washed out or threatened by
water which went over stream
banks in several locations, ac
cording to county road offi
cials. Only one county road
was reported closed from
flood damage.
An emergency water line,
consisting of a, firehose, was
installed on Raymond st. in
Yreka after the waters of
Yreka creek washed out a wa
ter line serving the area.
An effluent line leading
from the city sanitary sewer
disposal plant was also re
ported washed away by high
water.

Wording in
Proposal Causing Debate
SPT "REASONABLY" 2 cl
By TOM NELSON
Washington OP) Two
words spelled trouble in Con
gress today for a proposed
sports anti-trust law.
The House anti-trust sub
committee approved a
"middle-of-the-road" bill to
place business aspects of pro
fesisonal baseball, football,
basketball and hockey under
anti-trust regulations.
But the members, all law
yers, differed sharply over the
exact language of the bill.
They argued about two key
words "reasonably neces
sary" and their effects.
Members said that whether
the words remain in the bill
would make a vast difference
in the results the legislation
would have on the sports
world.
Heated Debate Likely
It looked like a cinch that
the language would provoke
heated debate when the bill
comes up against its next
hurdle on Capitol Hill, the
House judiciary committee,
i The measure stems from a
legal turmoil over whether
pro sports are subject to the

Will Pick
All-Stars
By UNITED PRESS
Major league ball players
reacted favorably today to a
new all-star vote plan that
puts them on the spot and
the fans in the role of "sec-ond-guessers."
Gabe Paul, general man
ager of the Cincinnati Red
legs, predicted the 'vote even
tually "will be returned to
the fans" but others were
unanimously in favor of Com
missioner Ford Frick's deci
sion. Frick announced Thurs
day that the 1958 all-star
teams will be picked by a poll
of managers, coaches and
players because of the "farce"
created in last year's fan bal
loting. "It's my opinion, after the
new plan receives a thorough
trial, the results will require
the devising of a method to
return the selections to the
fans," said Paul. "I'm sorry
to see the game taken away
from the fans ... it belongs
to them. ,
Praise Quickly
Bobby Bragan, manager of
the Cleveland Indians, and
Pittsburgh Pirate manager
Danny Murtaugh, were quick
with praise.
"It's a good system," Bra
gan said flatly. "If anybody
can make a just selection for
a valid All-Star team it should
be done that way. I think the
public would probably recog
nize the quality will be there."
"It'll result in stronger
line-ups," commented Mur
taugh. "The National League,
always wants to win that
game real bad. That's why the
players will vote for the
strongest possible team to rep
resent them."
Red Skelton's Son
Returns To Hospital
Los Angeles (IP) Red
haired Richard Skelton, leu
kemia stricken son of come
dian Red Skelton, was back
in the UCLA Medical center
today for treatment.
The boy's famous father,
who suffered a nearly fatal
asthmatic attack Dec. 30. said
Thursday Richard had" suf
fered a relapse but was ex
pected ta be released from
the hospital next week.
"His right leg and knee
have been affected by the dis
ease," said the elder Skelton.
"His right foot is terribly dis
colored, as if from a bruise."
Richard was stricken with
leukemia two years ago and
has been in and out of the
UCLA hospital several times
since. He went to Europe last
summer with his family.

Necessary1
Anti-Trust
same anti-trust laws which an-
ply to big business. In 1953
the Supreme Court ruled that
baseball was exempt from the
laws. But last year it held that
football came under the stat
utes, and implied that hockey
and basketball did, too.
After long hearings on the
matter last year, the House
judiciary subcommittee
Thursday came up with a bill
aimed at straightening out
the situation.
It would make anti-trust
laws apply to commercial as
pects of professional baseball,
football, basketball and
hockey for example, owner
ship of parks, or interest in
several teams in the same
league.
Bill Makes Exceptions
But the bill would specific
ally exempt activities which
are "reasonably necessary" to
the equalization of teams in a
league, the guarantee of terri
torial franchises and the pre
servation of public confidence
in the honesty of sports con
tests. Here is where the argu
ment arises: Whether to re
quire sports to show that
these activities are "reason
ably necessary" to the three
aims. As stated in the bill, or
simply "relating to" them, as
proposed in an amendment by
Rep. Kenneth B. Keating (R
N.Y.). Rep. Emanuel Celler (D
N.Y.), chairman of both the
subcommittee and the full
Judiciary Committee, said the
exemption as drawn was
aimed at permitting sports to
continue their player reserve
clauses, player drafts, farm
systems, and other activities
which might otherwise be
ruled "trade restraints."
"But Keating, senior Re
publican on the subcommittee
and the full committee, served
notice he will try to change
the words reasonably neces
sary" when the Judiciary
Committee takes up the bill
later.
If the phrase is left in, Keat
ing said, it would "invite"
players and others to file law
suits to challenge every sports
agreement or practice as not!
being "reasonably necessary."
