Fish Lake
Operation
Set Oct. 1
Poisoning of Fish lake for
trash fish will start Oct. 1, it
was decided yesterday after
noon during a meeting at the
Medford irrigation district of
fice on Barnett rd.
The decision followed a
meeting of representatives of
the Medford and Rogue River
Valley irrigation districts, the
U.S. Forestry service and the
State Game commission.
Four - Mile lake waters
which flow through the Cas
cade canal and into Fish lake
will be poisoned in the under
ground basalt basin Sept. 26
to make sure the coverage is
thorough, it was explained.
The lake was poisoned in
1951, but trash fish have
since become a serious prob
lem. The water level in Fish
lake will be maintained tem
porarily at 3,500 acre feet
which is the maximum level
at which the lake can be treat
ed. This is bout 1,000 acre
feet more than originally fig
ured on by the forestry serv
ice and the game commission.
Raising the level to more than
2,500 acre feet will mean an
additional cost of $1,600. To
tal cost estimated by the game
commission before for the
seven-day treatment of Fish
lake and of Four Mile water
was $8,000, according to Bob
Boravicka, Portland state
game commission biologist.
To Request Funds
The biologist said the addi
tional funds would be re
quested from the game com
mission which must approve
allocation of any funds over
$500. The commission will
keep an extra man and a Sno
Cat at Fish lake to help the
irrigation districts' crews
with any emergencies which
may arise during the poison
ing, it was explained.
The biologist said that skin
divers would use pressure
hoses to shoot the rotenone
chemical into the springs at
Fish lake. Jack Hoffbuhr,
Medford Irrigation district
manager, said the gates on
the Cascade ditch from Four
Mile lake into Fish lake could
be closed any time to cut off
the flow of water for the poi
soning operations.
Harold Thomas, Ashland
district ranger, said Fish lake
had been famous for its fish
ing in 1910. Biologist Bora
vicka stated that Fish lake
could be very productive in
both quantity and quality of
fish. This is because of the
quality of water and the basin
in which it is, also the nu
trients or fish food existing
in the lake waters. The trash
fish variety now in the lake
is native to' the Klamath
drainage, he explained. These
have gradually crowded out
the trout.
Plan 100 Per Cent Kill
Boravicka said he is hoping
for a 100 per cent kill through
poisoning for trash fish. De
pending on variable condi
tions, it is some time before
the toxicity from the poison
ing chemical ..wears off so
trout may be planted, he ex
plained. If the poisoning isn't
done soon it will be impossi
ble to plant trout this season
and there will be no fishing
in Fish lake next year.
Lloyd Morris, owner-operator
of the Fish lake resort,
said he has an $80,000 invest
ment at the lake. During two
years the rapidly dwindling
fishing due to the trash fish
has cost him an estimated
$40,000, he stated.
The Ashland district rang
er said during 1955, 21,000
people used Fish lake. This
dropped to 10,000 in 1957.
The resort owner estimated
1,000 people visited the lake
during the 1958 season.
The state igame biologist
said 100,000 trout are being
held at the Butte Falls hatch
ery for Fish lake.
Philip Lowry attorney for
Medford Irrigation district,
explained that Fish lake and
Four Mile lake come under
the jurisdiction of the Med
ford and Rogue River Valley
Irrigation districts. Approxi
mately 14,000 acres of irri
gated lands come under the
two boards, the attorney said.
Boards Responsible
The water boards of both
districts are legally responsi
ble to their customers to see
they get the needed water,
the attorney said. Both boards
desire to cooperate in the poi
soning operation, he said. The
3,500 acre foot level is as low
as Fish lake should be drawn
off in order to give a mini
mum protection to the water
users, he said. Weather con
ditions are so variable that
precautions must be taken in
advance to ensure a good wa
ter supply, Lowry said.
The district already has
held back the normal flow of
water from Four Mile lake
for 70 days hoping to reach
an agreement and have the

Boxer Fails
To Show Up
Providence, R.I.-OIPD-Light-weight
Gordon Parker of Ath
ol, Mass., still was unheard
from today after failing to
show up for a 10-round main
bout at Arcadia Ball Room
Monday night.
Parker was present for the
official noon weigh-in Mon
day but did not appear for his
scheduled bout with Pat Mc
Coy of Galway, Ireland.
BREAKING AWAY FOR a 20-yard gainer, College of Pacific's fleet left halfback Dick
Bass, No. 22, had his efforts nullified in first quarter when penalty called back the play.
Bass scored on another run in the first quarter, and so did California's great passing and
running back, Joe Kapp. Both players were standouts in the clash.

ever before.
Men on the defensive unit
who will look good are end
Norman Olson, tackles Pat
Williams and Tim Gidley,
guard Brent Mihell and
linebackers John Fisher and
David Irving. Those appear
ing good on the offense are
left-halfback Jtlike McCul
lough, Quarterback Dick Byrd,

boys out with a few doing
standout jobs. These include
end Roy Shaw, tackles Glen
Dean and Dick Johanssen,
center Darryl Stockton, half
back Gib Mitchell, quarter

all average weight and speed.
ended with the race called off
because neither boat could
finish within the required five
and one-half hours.
Both the American Colum
bia and Britain's Sceptre had
been hoping for a real blow
off Newport Harbor in Sep

been scarcely enough to waft
a feather, let alone a 70-foot
sloop.

which it won the opener Sat
urday. - ' ,
The Redcoats made a battle
of it for a time though. They

Then skipper Graham Mann
had to witness the painful
sight of Columbia once again
overtaking his boat and going
ahead.
