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.

ACCESS SITES-Twenty places along the Rogue river have
been developed by the game commission for fishing ac
cess. 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.
Across the river and one
half mile downstream off
Lower River rd. is a popular
access point to one-half mile
of river for shore anglers.

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-

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-,

Train Ride to Iranian City Said
Novel Experience by Williams

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. .

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

the Atom," showing the de

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.
The Armory has a large
seating capacity, and all inter

sight after almost two weeks

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

a beautiful upse. The small
girls wear a large gold ring
suspended from one nostril

their mouth, it causes some
difficulty in eating.
