State May Bring Suit Dn Oxbow . Fish Deaths , Salem CPD Attorney Gen eral Robert Y. Thornton said yesterday he was considering the possibility of legal action against Idaho Power company for alleged destruction of sal mon and steelhead at the firm's Oxbow .dam site on the Snake river. . Thornton said that "from my information it would ap pear that the loss and damage to fish was caused by the col lapsing of the foundation of the fish trap constructed on the Oregon side of the river, necessitating lowering the normal flow in the main chan nel of the river to about 2,000 cubic feet per second. As the result of low flow the fish were either trapped in pools above the fish trap or they perished below the . main, coffer dam." Concurrent Jurisdiction Thornton said that from his examination of legal authori ties the state may be in a position to bring action against the power company for destruction of fish. He said both states have concur rent jurisdiction on- the river but that this could be solved by Oregon and Idaho joining as plaintiffs in either the state or federal courts. P. W. Schneider, Oregon game director, ' said loss of fish at the Oxbow site would be felt for years to come. He said at least 2000 chinook sal mon and numerous steelhead were lost during the change over from the emergency trapping and hauling opera tions at the site to the regular trapping facilities. The regu lar trap is now back in opera tion. . ! Leaves Up To Public In other developments in the fish-dam controversy, Gov.

HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at ' HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE McAndrcwi at Court SP 3-906 leave it up to the public to decide whether Idaho Power company or himself had given the truth of what he .called "the catastrophic fish loss" at Oxbow. He said he . had re ceived a reply from the presi dent of Idaho Power saying "facts do not justify or sup port your intemperate tele graphic statements." Albert Day, Oregon Fish commission director, said the practice 'of killing male sal mon and using the fish for fingerling food was a well established procedure. He ex plained it in answer to a state ment by Idaho Power which said the practice "has re ceived little attention and no adverse comment." Day said more male salmon than are needed enter the hatchery ponds and are killed to con serve the oxygen supply.
