Woods, Wafer, Wildlife
By Hank DeVoss
One of the greatest diffi
culties the sportsman groups
have is poor public relations.
The general public has the
distinct impression that these
groups are only after more
fish and game and that when
they raise their voices in pro
test, which is something they
are driven to do frequently,
they are opposed to anything
which may jeopardize their
hunting and fishing. There is
truth in this only insofar that
these groups see no need to
give up these satisfying pur
suits and will fight to main
tain them. They fight because
they feel these values can not
be replaced.
FAME AND A NAME
Th. local Izaak Walton
league chapter gained a rep
uiation because of its oppo
sition lo the Lewis creek
dam and since then has
been regarded by many as
the group which is hinder
ing the development of the
valley. This is true in that
it tries to hinder certain
types of development. It
is a conservation group and
its policies stale the devel
opment of our resources
should be for the greatest
good of the greatest number
and that the continued .
wise use of a resource is far
better than the exploitation '
which destroys in the name
of progress and dollar ex
NOT IN OPPOSITION
A recent news release states
that the local IWL chapter
will not endorse tentative
projects. This seems to say
that the IWL is again in op
position to development. The
TRUTH is that the IWL is
NEITHER IN FAVOR NOR
OPPOSED to any tentative
plan of development. Who
wants to buy a pig in a poke?
The question of whether or
not a dam is favored on the
Rogue depends on what kind
of a dam, and for whose bene
fit will it be run. Should it
be only for those who build
their homes on the gravel bars
of the river, or only for those
who want to irrigate more
land, or only for those who
want more fish; or should it
be for the good of the greatest
number? The resource affect
ed belongs to all of us. 'Nuff
said.
DEER IN FINE SHAPE
Charlie Shepard, our lo
cal game biologist, reports
that the Jackson county
deer herd has been winter
ing high and is in good
shape. There is an excellent
carryover of bucks -from
last year, giving a ratio of
about 39 bucks lo 100 does.
The range is in average con
dition in spite of a dry fall
and unless the summer and
fall turn out lo be especially
dry, there should be a bo
nanza season on bucks this
year.
A SMALL ELK HERD

IIUBBARD-WRAY CO.
"The former's Store Since 1884"
25 South Riverside - Medford
is wintering in the northeast
portion of the county around
the middle fork, of the Rogue
river. There is a lot of scat
tered sign and indications of
some calves with the herd.
The herd is small but has an
excellent chance of growing
larger of the Doachers and
mother nature give it a break.
Once the herd reaches a cer
tain size and proportion, it
will have a DODulation suree
and could sand more hunting
pressure without being hurt.
REASONS FOR SIZE
One reason it has remain
ed so very small for so
many -years is that the
poachers kill off a few cows
and calves every year in
stead of Ihe older bulls and
thereby wipe out the natur
al increase. However, the
biggest factor governing
herd size will be the limited
winter range. It will sup
port only so many elk and
will curtail the growth of
the herd beyond a certain
number.
WHICH STEELHEAD?
There has been a great deal
of muttering against the game
commission and its policy of
setting the deadline for win
ter steelhead fishing on the
Rogue at the mouth of the
Applegate. There are those
who think the deadline should
be moved up to Shady Cove
and want to know why not.
According to Cole Rivers, the
fish biologist, the basic reason
for the policy is that the
Rogue has three separate
races of steelhead: summer,
fall, and winter, and each has
its own management problem.
This complicates things so
that moving the deadline up
the river would involve more
than just fishing for winter
steelhead.
PROBLEM OF SPAWNERS
The summer and fall
steelhead are fished for
heavily until the season
closes in November. By this
lime over 50 per cent of
these runs have been caught
and Ihe rest go up lo spawn
during the early pari of the
winter. When the winter
steelhead season opens on
the Rogue, the river above .
Ihe mouth of the Applegate
is full of spawnouls return
ing lo the ocean. Since these
spawnedoul fish are very
easy lo calch in this condi
tion, they are the fish most
likely harvested instead of
Ihe winter steelhead.
POLICY FOR BIG FISH
The1 game commission be
lieves that the catch of the
summer and fall runs is very
high and as many as possible
should be allowed to return
to the ocean. This is the only
way we will continue to get a
return of big fish because big
fish that get up to spawn pro
duce big fish that get up to
spawn. ,
THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER
' The rumor persists that
the Klamath river has fresh
run steelhead in it and re
ports indicate that these are
early summerrun fish. Also
the upper Klamath by Keno
is producing fine' catches on
worms. Let's go practice for
the 25th.
GOOD LUCK!

Despite the flood of ail

Medford will enter in the
metropolitan class for schools

The Black Tornado will be

of those meets in its class and
was riding on a six-victory
string in the University of

My Recipe, his dam, is a

Yet competent horsemen
believe Intentionally best suit
ed for sprints and middle dis
tance races. His record to date
bears this out.
Everytime he has won, the
jet black colt, foaled at the
Wolf Run farm near Lexing
ton, either has gone to the
front immediately or taken
the lead shortly after the
start. Whenever he was far
ther back than second, he
never was able to win.
But his record also
shows that in 1958 he was
quick enough to win five of
his 11 races and finish second
in four others. Since he' won
two of the richer races for
juveniles, his earnings reach

Top Marks
Lawrence, Kan. - (UPD - An
American record javelin toss
of 270-1 V6 by Kansas univer
sity's Bill Alley spearheads
the NCAA's first outdoor
track and field statistics of
the year.
Alley's prolific fling, which
came in the Texas Relays, is
the only new varsity record of
national scope to date but
Oregon's Dyrol Burelson and
Dallas Long have etched new
freshman standards.
Kansas is No. 1 in three de
partments and is ranked in
the top 10 in four other divi
sions. But, Texas, the leader
in two divisions, is listed
among the first 10 in seven
other categories.
Burelson went 4:07.6 last
Saturday in the mile. The old
freshman mark was 4:08.2 by
Oklahoma's Gail Hodgson.
Long unofficially exceeded
the world shot put record for
the second time on an exhibi
tion toss of 64-4 last Saturday
at Tempe, Ariz.
The 6-4, 260-pounder of
ficially matched Parry
O'Brien's 63-2 world mark in
the Easter Relays last month.
