Woods, Water, Wildlife
By Hank
Spring is here and the trout
are biting; all seems right
with the angler's world, but
before we become too lost in
the plans for all the successive
fishing trips we're contem
plating, let's take a look
ahead.
Next week is conservation
week and though we may
think we have it pretty good
now, the outlook for conser
vation weeks in future years
doesn't have such a rosy glow.
There are prophets of doom
who are " predicting water
shortages in another five
years, that will make this
year's supply seem like a su
perabundance. Every year the
watersheds are thinned out
some more. ' The population
keeps growing and these peo
ple also will use the resources
of the world just as we do.
Right now we are facing air
pollution, water pollution, and
soil pollution; with very few
people concerned enough to
do more than write letters to
editors or complain to their
friends. As yet the public has
little realization that our
health-giving world is being
slowly but surely-ruined on a
vast and penetrating scale by
people who - think that the
individual little bit of damage
they are doing isn't going to
hurt anybody much. .
EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS
The fad of the matter is
that we are being robbed
and don't know it yet. When
conservation becomes eve
rybody's business and it is
realized that the life-giving
qualities of the air, water
and soil are important to
all of us. our children, and
our children's children, then
and only then will these
problems become fewer and
smaller.
Southern Oregon is for
tunate in having its prob
lems in small doses as yet,
but the outlook is that they
are gelling bigger and that
soon our natural resources
will be beyond saving . in
their present form. Our only
hope is to organize opposi
tion to the' destruction of
our yet abundant resources
and conserve them so that
they may last for the many
generations to come. This is
possible only if we believe
the values of woods, water
and wildlife are worthwhile
values and. are willing to do
something about conserving
them. -
DOING SOMETHING
The conservationists in Ore
gon who are already doing
something about it number
approximately - 5,000. There
are over a half-million anglers
and hunters fn Oregon who
derive pleasure from the use
of these resources and as yet
they seem unwilling to get to
gether to work for things in
their own behalf. They should
be reminded that those who
abuse the resources have long
been organized and are .quite
willing to use collective effort
and money in order to main
tain their abuse. When we can
muster enough strength to
change abuse to wise and con
tinued use and when we can
accept the restrictions this
will entail; then we will have
moved a step further in civil
ization. THE BONANZA HOLES.
Opening day was a " re
warding' one for many an
glers on Squaw lakes and
Willow creek reservoir. The
average catch per angler at
Squaw lakes was 7.3 fish
and 5.0 fish per angler at
Willow creek. According to
Cole ' Rivers, our local fish
biologist, this is the highest
average ever recorded on
. an opening day in this area.
Cole also reported thai this
is the first time that rain
bows were the predominant
species caught at Willow
and , this means that the
planted fish are surviving'
CAR - SALARY
DeVess
in good numbers. The larg
est fish were hard-fighting
cutthroat and quite a few
anglers tied onto one of
these scrappers.
THE ANGLER'S LOG
What follows is a brief run
down on how things have been
at the various resorts and it
is hoped ,it will help some
fishermen in their expecta
tions and preparations:
SQUAW LAKES - Cat
fish have been biting good.
Trout are spotty as to when
and where. The little lake
is producing trout best on
a green flatfish. The big
lake fish seem to prefer
ford fender and worms. The
road is. in good shape.
WILLOW CREEK-The lake
has been full of boats all
week. Ford fender and worms
or green flatfisa are consist
ent producers. The hottest
lure at different times is the
Metal, fly. Limits in a half
hour.
LAKE OF THE WOODS
Started out good but the
nasty weather slowed things
up all week. Favorite lure
is ford fender and worms
and a slow troll. Reports
of dead fish in the shallows.
Nobody knows why.
KLAMATH LAKE - Nasty
weather but a few good
catches t on Saturday. ; The
mouth of Harrimans creek is
producing two pounders. Fa
vorite lure is ford fender and
worm trolled slow on a short
line. Biggest fish went to
Steve Stevenson of Phoenix,
a six-pounder on a Freak.
Swede Erikson of Grants Pass
caught a three and three-quarter-pounder
on FF and W.
BIG BUTTE CREEK -Some
.fishermen drew a
blank and others had a field
day. Depends on the fisher
man. ELK CREEK - Slow for
some, good for. others. A few
cutthroat but nothing too
good.
' UPPER ROGUE-Reporls
of a. few steelhead up to 15
pounds. Wow! Pretty slow
in the upper tributaries. '
KLAMATH RIVER -A few
steelhead and ' large trout in
the 4 to 5 pound bracket. Gen
eral trout season opens in
California this Saturday.
THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER
According to reports so
far, the salmon run for this
year doesn't look too good.
If there is a small run (the
parent run was very small
four years ago) I would like
. to see the river closed to
. salmon fishing above Sav
age Rapids dam just for
' this ; year. An emergency
closure would give this run
a chance to increase itself
at a low cost to the angler.
It's worth a try, and I am
willing to forego fishing for
salmon in the upper river
for one year in the hope of
- building up the run. We
still have, plenty of trout.
'. to catch.

Del linger?
Portland- (WB -Dyrpl Burle
son, the lanky Oregon fresh
man from Cottagei Grove,-, had
another mile victory under
his belt today. . V
Burleson put on a strong
finish here Thursday night to
edge Bill Dellinger" in a spe
cial invitational mile at the
Reynolds High School relays.
The winning time was
4:09.1, about 2Vz seconds
slower than Burleson's fresh
man NCAA record of 4:06.7
set last week in the Drake
Relays. The track was damp
and the weather was cool.
Dellinger, a former Oregon
distance star from Springfield
who : is now an Air Force lieu
tenant, held the lead until
the home stretch. Then Burle
son, , who seldom has had to
use his strong finishing kick,
came through with a burst of
speed that barely nipped Del
linger at the .tap'e.i Burleson
had stayed a few feet behind
Dellinger all the way.
The first three quarters
were run in 63 seconds each
and the final quarter in 60.1.
Dellinger only last week
set an American citizen's rec
ord for the two mile at Po
mona, Calif., with 8:48.2.

Criner, like Grimm Mason

Calumet Reenters On-And-On
In Kentucky Derby; Field 18
Louisville, Ky. - (LTD - All
Derby Town puzzled today
over Calumet Farm's reentry
into the Kentucky Derby but
the professional horsemen on
the back-stretch were more
concerned with tlv size of the
field. -
"If On-and-On starts, I'll bet
him," was heard over ' and
over throughout the city, even
though trainer Jimmy Jones
admitted there is a good
chance, his colt will not start.
Jones said he was reluctant
to give up a chance to win a
third straight Kentucky
Derby and wanted to "buy"
43 additional hours in which
to reach a decision. -
Since - he , released . Steve
Brooks who' does most of the
riding for Calumet. Jones did
not have a jockey for On-And-On.
He denied a report he had
contacted Ismael Valenzuela,
who subbed for injured Willie
Hartack a -year ago and won
with Tim Tam. Another stable
had been in touch with Valen
zuela but later changed its
mind. -Explains
Action
Why, after saying . the colt
"wasn't seasoned enough" for
the Derby, did he change his
mind? ,
"I- didn't like his workout
the other day and decided to
take him out," Jones explain
ed. "Then I saw the complete
workout list and nobody had
a good work. iAnd when he
was so frisky Thursday morn
ing I decided to put him' back
in."
The entry of Oh-And-On
raised the field to 18 starters
and many trainers worried
about its size.
"You have, to worry about
it," said J. H. (Casey) Hayes
who trains . the favored First
Landing for Christopher T.
Chenery. ' "My . horse has
enough speed to stay out of
any trouble at the start but
some of the others don't. You
don't know another man's
horse but we both know the
one you are talking about
when you bring up some
pretty rough characters in it."
One of" the "rough charact
ers" is Open View who can
j wander all over a race track.
Others- Bad Actors
Atoll, running mate for
Open View in the 85th Ken
tucky Derby and one who
very easily . could go to the
front at the start, has no lily
white record either.
Tomy Lee, second choice in
the second richest of all
Derbies, had a habit of going
wide on the turns as a ju
venile Our Dad is another
"bad actor."
But steward Lincoln Plaut
was ' not concerned with the
possibility of a rough race.
"Just look back over the
record and you will see the
Kentucky Derby down through
the years has been a very
cleanly run race," he said.
