Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss This is the tail end of con servation week and many words have been said in lengthy attempt to,- tell, ad monish, advise and demand that we be less wasteful of our natural resources. Wheth er or not any of this will do any good remains to be seen, but we all know that we are changing the face of the earth and many of us are fearful of this change. "The Oklahoma Farmer Stockman recently sponsored a contest for the best essays suggested by two pictures, one showing a dilapidated house and the other a field badly eroded. "First prize went to a Cherokee Indian who wrote: 'Both pictures show white man crazy. Make big tepees. Plow hill. Water wash. Wind blow soil. Grass all gone, papoose, too. No chuck away. No pig, no corn, no hay, no cow, no pony. Indian no plow land. Keep grass. Buffalo eat. Indian eat buffalo. Hide make tepee, moccasins, too. Indian no make terrace. No build dam. No give a damn. All time eat. No hunt job. No hitchhike. No ask relief. Great spirit make grass. Indian no waste anything. White . man crazy. Thanks Tracy." LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP Now that the 1959 legis lature is closing up shop we can look over the re ' mains of those bills which were our particular busi ' Bess. The steelhead bill died In committee. The bill to control gravel removal from streams suffered the same death on the floor of the house. The part of a bill which would have al lowed industrial use of Rogue river waters was de leted but the part allowing withdrawal of Rogue wa ters for wildlife was passed. Life has its up and downs, and conservation got a glim mer of light this year. MOVING OUT It may be remembered that the Department of Interior closed a half-mile strip on each side of the Rogue from Gahce ranger station to H lahe. Its use is now limited to - recreation only.

The Bureau of Land Management is now pushing for the abandonment of these claims on the basis that they were not ' proved upon by by any mining opera tion. I imagine there will be some squawking about this, from places both high and low. ANOTHER PELTON . The latest word is that the rural power outfit of Coos and Curry counties can build its dam on the Illinois river in the same manner as Pelton was built on the Deschutes river. The Federal Power commission can grant any private pow er company a license to build and there is nothing the state of Oregon can do about it except get mad. Our own Senator Richard . Neuberger is trying to change the law so that all decisions by the FPC must be okayed by the Secretary of Interior. This sounds bet ter than the way it is now, when disinterested persons can grant others the right to ruin our streams without recourse on our part. A BOO BOO AGAIN White federal agencies are being mentioned it might do to note that the Bureau of Reclamation planners who de signed the operation of the screens built at Savage rap ids dam have handed us a lemon. The trash racks pro tecting the bypass screens were designed improperly and are out of alignment. The only method for cleaning them is to clear them manu ally with a hand rake. The fact that the racks extend more than 20 feet under wa ter would make this seem rather difficult. Let's hope it works. THE ANGLER'S LOG Things are good and bad here and there. We know the fish are still there and that's all we need to know to try it again. WILLOW CREEK - Fish ing has been excellent. FF&W and MetL fly seem to be doing the most good. Trolling a wolly worm has also done the business. Fly fishing in the evening with coachman or black ant is producing. 'No boats " or" cabins available but lots of camping area. SQUAW LAKES -Nothing doing on Big Squaw. Little Squaw is giving up a few to a slow troll with FF and eggs. HOWARD PRAIRIE - A few limits of eight inchers that are the fattest, fastest growing trout in the area. These plants have doubled their sise since last August and attest to the tremen dous amount of feed in this lake. . LAKE OF THE WOODS- Lousy! They've had bad weather with a lot of wind. Cleared yesterday and now a big bug hatch is appearing on the lake. The dark moon may have them on a feeding rampage during the day. Lots of boats available. KLAMATH LAKE-Steve Steveaon of Grants Pass is top man again with a 4V& pounder. FF&W with a slow troll is doing the busi ness. Limits are being tak en at the mouth of Harri man's creek. Average fish is a three-pounder. Lots of boats to be hand. ZEBCO Glass Reg. S7.95 8.49 Red 6.29 iiimniMi mi amiilJ Hi iu Bob Duden Oregon Golf Champion Portland (DPD Bob Duden fired a scorching hot 65 over the Columbia-E dgewater course Thursday to win the Oregon Open golf champion ship in a playoff with Joe Greer of Yakima. Greer finished seven strokes behind with an even-par 72. Duden fired a 33 on the first nine and came home with a 32 in sunny, 70-degree weather. The two professionals tied at 283 at the end of the 72 hole regular play. Ron Caperna, who had a 310 for four rounds, and Dr. Robert Buck, who shot 312, were the only Rogue Valley Country club entrants to sur vive the cut of players after two rounds of play in the Ore gon Open golf tourney. MedfcriUS&Tribuki N A-2 Division Track Scrap On Track and field, so far as state prep laurels are con cerned, reaches the crucial stage this week end in Dis trict 6 A-2. ' Sub-district eliminations are the order of business.' The southern division and Rogue league meet is set for Satur day at Southern Oregon col lege in Ashland. In the north ern sector, the Umpqua Valley league, spikers were contend ing today. First three placers in each event of the two sub-district tangles will qualify for the full district meet on May 16 at Ashland. Entrants Saturday in the Rogue league scrape will in clude defending champion Phoenix high, Eagle Point, Henley, Illinois Valley, Rogue River and Glendale. Crusaders, Redskins Vie In 5B Track Meet at KF St. Mary's of Medford and Jacksonville will be the only entries from Jackson county in the District 5B prep track meet. The engagement for small school scantclads will be on Klamath Union high's Modoc field on Saturday. Klamath Country entrants will include Merrill, Malin, Bonanza, Chiloquin and Bly. St. Mary's is the defending champ. After winning the 1958 area toga the Crusaders went on to place second in the state. The Medford school STREAMS - Lots of little fish but nothing splendifer ous. Rumors of steelhead per sist above the deadline at Laurelhurst bridge. . , THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Willow creek sounds like a good close bet. Klamath lake is the best bet for sizeable fish. Klamath river in California is now open to trout fishing and plenty are being caught. No minimum size limit and there is a chance of hooking into a summer run steelhead in the Hornbrook area.

Medford Sportiest Corner CC33o 1 Neman Hurls No-Hit Victory for Padres By DON BECKER United Press International Strapping big Russ Heman's brilliant mound performance Thursday night ended a Paci fic Coast league drought for nine inning no-run, no hitters that dates back to 1954. Los Angeles' Bubba Church was the last one to turn the trick when he stopped Port land over the full route five years ago. Heman's effort against the Vancouver Mounties, which saw San Diego win, 2-0, was almost perfect. Only two men got on base one on a walk and another on an error. And only one ball came close to being a hit. Mountie Barry Shetrone belted a fly to right Saturday Phoenix Sets Season Pace . Phoenix has been victor irii meets opposing Eagle Point, IV and Rogue River and was the top A-2 participant in its Little Rogue relays. However, both Eagle Point and Henley are expected to make some of the strongest bids for sub district laurels. Division individual champs defending are fleet Bill Turn er, Eagle Point, in the 100 and 220-yard dashes, Bill Dillree, Phoenix in the high hurdles, Mike Hanby, Illinois Valley, in the pole vault and Burrell Gober, Henley, who won the low hurdles and tied in the high jump. . The meet at Ashland opens at 10 a.m. Field event finals and dash and hurdle prelims will be in the morning. Race finals will open at 1:30 p.m. showed strength last month when a nine-man team won the C division of the Hayward relays. Merrill and Bonanza loom as. the strong aggregations east of the Cascades. This rat ing is based on the outcome ot the Klamath county meet last week end. Merrill was second in the conflict, be school. Bananza was third. Preliminary events on Sat urday are billed for 10 a.m. with finals planned for 1:30 p.m. Full Squad St. Mary's high mentor Bill McKibbin said that it is plan ned to have a full Crusader squad at Klamath Falls. On the doubtful list was sprinter AlejrMete, who has been ill. Individ ual defending champs for SM are Carl Michael in the discus and shot put, Dick Evans in the mile, and Terry Cooper in the javelin. Jacksonville will have about 10 men entered. Redskin dash man Doyle Bransom suffered a long cut on his leg about two weeks ago but coach Glen Schireman said that he will be ready to run on Sat urday. . Jacksonville had five second places in the 1958 district meet. Bransom took three of them, in the 100, 220 and broad jump. The' other Red skins runners-up were Ken Perrard in the high jump and Jerry Coe in the quarter-mile. Defending individuals for Merrill on Saturday will be the relay team of Bill Beasley, Charles Roller, Bud Maupin and John Haskins, Maupin in the 220, Haskins in the 100 and Roller in the high hurdles. RAWLS HEADS Southern Pines, N.C.-flJrD-Betsy Rawls of Spartanburg, S.C., led a field of 25 lady pros and 13 amateurs into today's first round of the 54 hole Southern Pines Invita tional golf tournament. that Stu Locklin caught with his back to the wall. So-So Record Last Year The 26-year-old Hem an, 6-4, 200 pounds, ran his rec ord to 3-0. In 36 innings this season, the righthander has allowed only four earned runs and 12 hits. Heman hurled for San Diego last year, had a so so 9-12 record, but a highly respectable earned run ave rage of 3.20. In other PCL games Thurs day night, Seattle edged Phoe nix in a 14-inning thriller, 5-4, Portland belted league-lead ing Sacramento, 10-2, and Spokane beat Salt Lake, 82. The Padres scored their two-runs for Heman in the seventh and ninth innings. Rudy Regalado belted a home run, his fourth of the year, for the first Padre score. An er ror and a sacrifice fly ac counted for the other tally. Heman mowed down the Mounties with monotonous regularity. The Padre infield was responsible for 20 put- outs. Harry Malmberg was the hero for Seattle. He singled to left with two out in the 14th inning to score Eddie Kazak with the winning run.. Veteran Max Surkont, who came on in relief in the sixth and blanked the hard hitting Giants the rest of the way, was the win ning pitcher. Solon Lead Shaved Sacramento had its league lead over San Diego cut to one game as a result of its shellacking at the hands of the Portland Beavers. Jim Greengrass, hitting around .200 going into the game, belt ed a pair of solo homers and two singles to lead the Bea vers at the plate. Nini Tornay also homered for the Beavers while 22 year old Clay Dalrymple knocked one out of the park for Sac ramento. Howie Reed pitched the whole game for Portland and gave up seven hits. Lincoln Has High Track Tilt Count Lincoln, with a strong show ing in Class . A, piled up high overall score yesterday in a city grade school triangular trafik fracas. Lincoln won Class A with 40 points and had an aggre gate for three classes of 85. Hoover, winner in Division B with 31V4 and in Division C with 33, was second overall with 82 and Jefferson to taled 76H. One new record was set with Don Young, Jefferson, pole vaulting 7 feet 9 inches. In Class A Jefferson had 30 and Hoover 18V4. Class B counts included Jefferson 2716 and Lincoln 23.

Riverside Ave. Biggest Crowd in History Of Baseball Sees Yanks Defeat Los Armeies 6-2 By HENRY RIEGER Los Angeles-IUPD-Baseball's greatest crowd, in spirit and size, added today to the liv ing legend of Roy Campan ella. A record crowd of 93,103 jammed Memorial Coliseum Thursday night to see the home-town Dodgers play the? world champion Yankees in an exhibition game - and to honor a player most of his fans never saw in action. The outcome of the game, won by the Yankees, 6-2, was of secondary importance for the Los' Angeles fans, who waited more than a year to pay their respects to the par tially, paralyzed Campanella on his big benefit night. The crowd was almost 7,000 greater than the previous baseball record-86,288 set at the fifth game of the 1948 Indian-Braves World Series in Cleveland. "Will Never Forget" "This is something I will never forget for the rest of my life," said Roy, after he was wheeled to second base League Leaders United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE Pdayer & Club G AB R.
