Posh!!! As INI Loinicjeir Mojjir 2)UGUD "I ;: Program Provides 20 Sites for Boat Landings in Area Angler access to the Rogue river long a stumbling block along the famous fishing stream no longer poses a major problem as a result of the combined efforts of the game commission, the high way commission, sportsmen's groups and Jackson and Jose phine counties. Recently, many anglers were stymied because so much of the Rogue's banks became preferred home sites which, after development, were posted forbidding ac cess to the river. About the only points of entrance were at public bridges, and across some lands where owners were tolerant. In the mam, these landowners .were also anglers sympathetic to those who were barred access to the river, but others did not wish to share their pet fishing wa ter with other fishermen. Today, anglers find no shortage of access points. The game commission's angler- ac cess program has provided 20 points from Galice to Prospect where boats can be launched or taken out or where shore anglers can reach fishable wa ters. Burden of Expense The burden of expense has been born by the game com mission since the primary pur pose of the developments has been for angler access. About $45,000 has been expended for this purpose on Rogue riv er. In all instances cooperat ing agencies have agreed to maintain the facilities in stalled, and others have sup plied land at existing parks and have developed other rec reational features on game commission lands. Above Prospect, the Rogue river flows through Rogue River National forest where unlimited bank angling is al ready guaranteed. About five miles below Prospect at Pey ton bridge, ' or Laurelhurst bridge, the State Parks di vision of the, highway com mission has acquired and de veloped a park which has a natural boat launching site. The stretch of river below is for expert boatmen only and novices are advised to stay clear.' To most anglers, head of the boat launching sites is that located at McLeod State park, seven miles below the Peyton site. Here the game commis sion has provided anglers with an excellent concrete ramp for boat launching pur poses. Parking and sanitary facilities are provided by the State Parks department. One-Mile Journey A pleasant one-mile jour ney takes the boatman from the McLeod ramp downstream to Casey State park where there is a boat ramp develop ed by the highway commis sion. Here a gravel beach al lows easy take-out or launch ing. Picnic facilities are also available. Three miles below, the game commission has ac quired 33 acres which takes in one - half mile of stream bank. The Elk creek site is bordered by a natural bank for easy boat launching or takeout. This site is also ex tremely popular for bank fishermen. Unauthorized over night camping has taken place this summer and has had to be curtailed because of the lack of " sanitation facilities. A healthy journey of six miles takes the boat angler to the next point at Shady Cove. An excellent concrete ramp and a large parking area is located here at the mouth of Indian creek below the Shady Cove highway bridge. Jack son county is cooperating with maintenance of this site.

The map above shows the location between Galice and Prospect where fishermen may reach fishable waters. From left, the sites are: Almeda bar, Hog creek landing, Robert son bridge, Griffin park and Upper ferry, Matson park, Again a six-mile run will take the boatman to the Dodge bridge landing de veloped by the game com mission with Jackson county and the highway commission cooperating. This half - acre site has a concrete ramp for easy launching or takeout. The next downriver site is at Bybee bridge on TouVelle State park. Again the run is six miles and the parks de partment of the highway commission has developed parking facilities and pro vided a blacktop boat ramp. Picnickers also find the Tou Velle State park a pleasant and welcome playground. Four miles below TouVelle is the Gold Ray dam forebay where John .Day donated a two-acre site to the game com mission. The plot is still being developed and there is( no public takeout point here at the present time. N The next access point is six miles below Gold Ray at the Lampman State park across the river from Gold Hill. A cooperative effort by the game commission and the highway commission has pro vided adequate parking fa cilities. A dolly ramp was im proved this summer for great er ease for launching boats. ' After a seven - mile run downriver, boatmen arrive at the game commission's Rogue river landing where picnic fa cilities are handy and an ex cellent gravel bar makes boat launching and takeout a simple matter. Jackson coun ty is cooperating with de velopment and maintenance of this excellent access site. Just two miles below the Savage Rapids dam is the Josephine County's Chinook park located down Gordon Way where the Grants Pass Sand and Gravel company has provided a concrete boat ramp with the use of waste from their concrete mixer trucks. Sportsmen's Ramp From here it is four miles to Grants Pass where the Rogue Rod and Gun club in cooperation with the city of Grants Pass developed the Sportsmen's Ramp. The ramp is located at the upper end of the city park and it provides easy access to the river. An easy run of three miles ends at Schroeder park land ing off Leonard rd." below the Redwood highway. The game commission and Josephine county has provided a con crete ramp, parking area and adjacent picnic grounds.

Griffin park contains picnic facilities and a gravel bar for boat access. The ferry slip across the riv er has a dirt bank and limited parking facilities. - A short run of two miles takes the boatman to. the Rob ertson bridge site developed by the game commission with the highway commission co operating. Parking area and a large concrete ramp allows easy access to the river. Five miles below is the Hog Creek landing which is an es tablished public-use area and maintained by Josephine county. The site is located at the head of Hellsgate. Almeda Bar It's a long run of nine miles to the Almeda Bar which is being acquired by the game commission at the present time. Approximately 25 acres are contained in this tract, and it is a natural boat launching site with a limited amount of improvements necessary. Josephine county may develop thjs area into a forest camp with facilities for camping and parking of house trailers. The Almeda Bar is the last of the developed access points along the Rogue toward the coast. From this point, the Rogue . flows through the rugged canyons to Gold Beach at the mouth of the river. Again, as with the extreme upper Rogue, anglers can roam freely through public lands. However, access points are limited and anglers head- (Game Commission map) (Oregon Game Commission Photo) i n g downstream generally plan on a week of boating or hiking before they reach points of civilization. Boat Takeout A boat takeout is possible at Marial some 30 miles down stream from Almeda. Another jaunt of 15 miles takes the angler to IllaTie and another six to Agness. Boats can be put in pr taken out at either Illahe or Agness. From . Ag ness It's another 24 miles to Canfield Riffle which is six miles above the Pacific ocean. In the Rogue river yalley, access activities by the game commission and various clubs and agencies hae . been co ordinated in. such a manner as to provide boat or bank angling, access at regular in tervals no more than six' miles apart. This allows anglers to fish leisurely from one point to the next in a single day, or in a few hours, depending upon the distance. The boat access sites , open and make available large stretches of good fishing water that would otherwise be inaccessible to the angler. The same sites provide ac cess to the river for the shore angler, as well, in places that probably would be located be-, hind no trespassing signs. ' Portland (UPD- Rep.

Train Ride to Iranian City Said Novel Experience by Williams (Editor's note: Jeff Wil liams, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Williams, Medford, is on a trip around lha world. II started as a bitch-hiking trip, but because of motor, rehicla travel in lha Middle East area and southern Asia, he has had to travel by train, ship and plane. Per iodically, ha has submitted articles describing his trip. This is another in the series. It includes some of the high lights of Williams' trip in Iran and Pakistan.) : By JEFF WILLIAMS Mid-July, Iran: Arriving by train from Tehran to this north Iranian city of Meshed was a novel experience. I traveled third class and there were 12 Persians in a com partment built for eight peo ple. Hitch-hiking is about im possible between here and Pakistan, because everyone else has more sense than to try and cross the desert at this time of the year. This is the great Persian desert which sprawls over most of eastern Iran. It is considered to be the most desolate in the world. .. As we were boarding the bus (for Zahidan in southeast Iran), there was a woman sit ting in the dirt trying to force feed a sticky mush to her two-year-old. The child was very thin, but silently refused to eat. The poor woman had such a look of hopelessness about her that I hurriedly jumped aboard, as if to escape it. Sun Rising The sun was beginning to rise when we set off, and by 8 o'clock the heat was stifling. The wind started blowing, and by 11 o'clock there were large streaks of sand appearing across the graveled road. As the storm increased, the bus was bucking drifts three to four inches deep, then sud denly it looked like the whole desert was being picked up to drop on us. Visibility was zero. With six-foot high dunes, the bus was forced to leave the road and go onto the des ert, which was blown clean and hard. .

Shack Fire Kills Man in Chiloquin Chiloauin -(UPD-An unidenti fied man lost his life in an early morning fire yesterday which destroyed the two-room shack that had been occupied by Ormand Leighton, about 30. . The Chiloauin volunteer fire department was called by a neighbor girl at 1:10 a.m. when she saw the flames from her window in a house two doors away. The body removed from the house as clad in jeans but bore no identification. Police said Leighton's wife was thought to have spent the week in Klamath Falls and had not been reached.

Inside,' it was just as hot, and old Persian carpets Were thrown over mud benches. I managed to find a place that wasn't taken by a sleeper. We started again at five that evening, and the heat was still crushing. Water holes weren't very frequent, but of course we always stopped to refresh when we saw one. They were round mud huts with stairs to the pool en closed. The water was usually cool and clear, but so clut tered with bugs and other un identifiables that I had to drink through my T-shirt in order to strain them out. (At this point, Williams met Lee Theodore, an Englishman returning from Beirut, Leba non, who took Williams into the Point Four headquarters of the Iran Army. Williams re mained there until he re gained his strength after be coming ill on his arrival at Zahidan. The illness was cov ered in a previous article.) Speak On All Topics Lahore, Pakistan: On the trip (from Zahidan to Quetta, Pakistan), we chatted with various Pakistanis, speaking of every topic under the sun. But the subject invariably swings to politics. The two upper-most topics here in Pakistan are con cerned with the ownership of Kashmir and water rights. The Kashmir dispute has been voiced internationally, but the water issue is less widely known. It is the cause of deep seated bitterness between Pak istan and India. Five major streams flow southward from Kashmir, three of which flow into Pak istan. The two easternmost streams first pass for a short distance through India where at times so much water is taken for irrigation purposes that none is left for eastern Pakistani thus leaving that portion of Pakistan dry and cropless. ' Charges Pakistan India charges Pakistan for any water she takes front these streams, but Pakistan hasn't paid for a number of to-" film . entitled "God of1 the Atom," showing the de structiveness of modern means of warfare. Sunday night, Sept. 28, the subject will be, "Is Peace Pos-sible?-God's Seven Words that will stop Russia." Three Night Meetings After the opening ' week end,' meetings will be held each Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. Among future discussions will be "Is Hea ven Real?" and "Did the Bi ble Really Come From God?" Friday nights have been desig nated as "family night" and will be devoted to subjects dealing with the home.

No real solu tion is in sight. The country along the way was quite barren and dry un til we drew .abrest of the mighty Indus and from there to Lahore we were in a lush belt of vegetation. A welcome sight after almost two weeks of desert. ' ' I stayed in Lahore for three days. The general wear of all the Pakistanis is very practic al. The men wear a bolt of cot ton cloth that hangs to their ankles and is pulled up in the rear and tied, which gives the effect of loose pantaloons. The more well-to-do wear a long night-shirt affair on the out side. The women's dress is pretty standard of all Moslem countries. It is simply a large bolt of cloth, usually blue with white polka-dots, drawn about them and covering them from 'head to foot and at all times kept across the lower half of their face. If they have to use two hands they hold a corner of it in their teeth. When they eat in my presence they turn sideways and hold a corner out so I can't watch them. Many of the women have a small jewel imbedded in their nose at the flare of the nostril. This is to draw atten tion to the delicate curve of a beautiful upse. The small girls wear a large gold ring suspended from one nostril and as it hangs in front of their mouth, it causes some difficulty in eating. On the morning of July 21, I said goodbye to Lee, who was flying the rest of the way, and took the train to New Del hi, India. Efficiency PAYS OFF!
