Oxbow Fish Loss
To Be Fell for
Years io Come
Portland - (UPD - P. W.
Schneider, state game direc
tor, said today the loss of
salmon and steelhead at the
Oxbow dam site on the Snake
river will be felt for years to
come. ' - '
He said loss of fish cannot
be regarded as "any less than
a catastrophe."
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.
Fish Trap Untested
He said that although the
fish trap is now in operation,
it has never been tested. "We
hope it works," he said. .
Rep. Al Ullman (D-Ore.),
visited the Oxbow dam site
early Thursday and told a
Pendleton labor group later
in the day that thousands of
fish were lying dead in pools
and thousands more were
dying.

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.
