Visits Dam Site Schneider returned Thurs day from a visit to the dam site, where Idaho Power com pany has placed back into operation a repaired fish trap. He said that at least 2000 chinook salmon and numerous steelhead were lost during the change-over from the emergency trapping and hauling operations at the Ox bow site to the regular trap ping facilities! Schneider said a report Thursday showed 629 salmon salvaged and sent to charit able institutions. Another 639 were beyond saving. In addition an estimated 800 dead salmon were reported hauled from the area Wed nesday night and bulldozers covered another unknown number of fish incidental to other work, Schneider said.

Ashland Talks of Meter Elimination Ashland-The Ashland city council this week referred to the traffic committee a pro posal to eliminate parking" meters from downtown Ash land. The action was taken after Councilman Ken Jones ar gued that meters should be eliminated. He said revenue frpm speeders caught with the new radar system would offset revenue lost by elimi nation of parking meters. He said businessmen indii cated to him that they feel meters are driving business from Ashland. Jones proposed two-hour parking zones. Councilman Walt Bosshard said he did not feel that busi nessmen advocated their elimination, but expressed a desire that the meters be op erated with less annoyance to shoppers. Mayor Richard Neill agreed that the meters posed a prob- Is That So? By OLGA BURNS Many of our ancestors want ed to leave the common bar berry bush in Europe, and it's a pity that they, didn't. To date, it's cost the country an untold sum, high in the hundreds of millions. , . Furthermore, the battle to control this plant pest, esti mated to have caused a loss of 200,000,000 bushels of grain in a single season, is still going on. How the barberry gets in its evil work is by acting as a forcing bed for the stem-rust fungus that attacks wheat, oats, - barley and rye. One bush alone can produce enough stem-rust spores to in fect 70,000,000 plants, and thanks to the wind, one plant can infect a wheat field 100 miles or more away. The struggle against the barberry began at least as far back as 1660 when an eradi cation law was passed in Rouen, France. At about the same time, agitation for a similar law began in England. The farmers wanted it. But unfortunately they were 200 years ahead of the scientists in their thinking, and since the scientists didn't catch up with the facts until the 1860's, when De Bary put the blame on the bush in a scientific manner, not much was done about the plant in England so far as the government was concerned. lem, but did not advocate removal of all of them. Super intendent E. C. Biegel said two companies would gve demonstrations of the opera tion of the radar system. In 1755, however, the Puri tans of Massachusetts decided not to wait for the scientists and passed a law calling for eradication by 1760 a coloni al five-year plaiu And so it went. As our an cestors moved west into the plains area, they brought the bush with them. It is an orna mental plant. Its berries make a fine preserve and its inner yellow bark can be used for a purgative and as a specific against yellow jaundice. Once in the wide open spaces, however, the bush es caped from cultivation and began to get in its work in a wide scale. It found allies, too. One is a native barberry in Colorado. The other is the Alleghany type found in the West Virginia areas. Stem rust spores spreading from the common barberry found that those were satisfactory host plants, also. Probably the easiest way to destroy this bush, which can be identified by a set of three spines found- at the base 'of groups of its sawtoothed, dark green leaves, is to pour com mon salt on the ground around its canes. It is hard to pull up and it does no good to cut it down.
