Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss - The people living in this valley who, have never lived In a brick and concrete world surrounded by a couple of million people ought to try it for awhile and then come back here. If they still think the values we have here aren't worth saving, then they are beyond saving and so is our valley. POLLUTION OR NOT? Th Izaak Walton leagu meeting last Monday night was disappointment to many who were hoping for an immediate answer from as to ways of stopping the pollution of Bear creek. According to Dr. Merkel and Mr. Gerow. that reo- resenlatives from the coun ty health office and the Oregon State Sanitary Authority, Bear creek is so polluted that children should not wade in il. Yet they say that turn sources of this pollution are so many and so varied that they can not fairly put pressure on any one individual for their part in the pollution. I got the feeling their way of cleaning up Bear creek is going to take a long, long lime. EDUCATION AND COOPERATION Those agencies that are sup- Dosed to enforce laws for bidding pollution think that the people who contribute to the pollution should be shown and taught how they can avoid giving their contribu tion and that their voluntary cooperation should be sought CONSTANT PRESSURE NEEDED This sounds fine but I wonder how many years the creek has remained polluted in wailing for this voluntary cooperalion? It would seem to me that something will be done quickly if and when the community organizes its in dignation into a constant pressure on the violators and the enforcement agencies who are directly concerned. Eric Allen, Mail Tribune managing editor, has suggested this should be in the form of a com mittee, consisting of sports men groups, civic and ' fra ternal groups, and other groups or individuals who have our community as their primary concern. We've been talking for many years about how filthv the creek is, so lefs do something and do it now! A FEW SALMON The word from the mouth of the river is that the big spring salmon run hasn't begun yet, and it looks like it may never start. The few hundred fish in the river should number thousands and I hope it won't be a case of shutting the barn door too late when and if the game com mission decides something should be. done to save the run. The only ray of hope being expressed is that the main run is late and will come in a big bunch. This is what we waited for all last year and I guess we're still waiting. WILLOW CREEK RESER VOIR - Wednesday was "as good as opening day. Any thing seems to work. Trolling with a woolly worm has the edge over any other method. Fly fishing with royal coach man, black ant, or golden demon is stil paying divi dends. LAKE OF THE WOODS Fishing is fair to good. Most of the strikes are in shallow water on FF&W. The bug hatch is still on but fly fishing is not producing. The game commission's stocking program put J300, 000 fingerlings in the lake this week. Let's hope most of them are left in a couple of years. KLAMATH LAKE - The fishing has been slow during the warm days. Most of the fishermen have been con centrating around Harri mans creek using FF&W. Imagination paid off for a man from San Francisco who landed a 6 and a 7 -pounder on a Andy . Reeker. He was fishing at the mouth of Crys tal creek. The average fish run around 3 pounds. HOWARD PRAIRIE -I'm getting different re ports from here. Some are doing fine and others claim there aren't ; enough fish for the catching. One re port is, 'that three men caught ten fish in two and a half hours and they were close to ten inches average length. The fish were ex tremely fat and very tasty. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER If the weather isn't too rough Willow creek reservoir will probably stay out of the doldrums and do well this week end. It's the hot weather that puts the fish down.and it sure doesn't feel like hot weather right now. Klamath river was just fair on summer steelhead this week. The Rogue has salmon in it and they are starting to catch them in the upper river. I saw two caught last Saturday below Savage Rapids dam and watching it was the next best thing to catching them. GOOD LUCK! Prospect, Mai in Play For Title Prospect Prospect high will oppose Malin at 2 pjn. Saturday in Gems stadium at Klamath Falls for the District 5B baseball mantle. Prospect won the Jackson county championship and Ma lin was victor in Klamath county. Coach Al Gardner of the Cougars said that Tom David son, as usual, will handle the pitching for Prospect. Rest of the line-up will be Cliff Chap man, catcher; Norn Jantzer, first base; John Rogers, sec ond base; Don Gillespie, third base; ', Bob Fitch, shortstop; and Ray and Floyd Scaife and Lee Gitchell, outfielders. Wallace Nye, regular second baseman is sidelined by a cleat wound. , UNE Dairy Maids Bill American Linen at Camp White Field Cougar Nine Whips OSC Pullman - (UPD - The Wash ington State Cougars rapped four Oregon State pitchers for 15 hits here Thursday and took the second game of a Northern Division baseball series from the Beavers, 10-5. The loss virtually eliminated OSC from any title contention. Oregon State was leading, 3-1, going into the third in ning but saw Washington State score four times and could never regain the lead. One bright note for the Beavers was Grimm Mason's home run. Mason belted one out of Bailey stadium - the first time any one has ever done so - in the ninth inning. Oregon State now has a 5-4 record and is in fourth place with a .556 mark to .571 for Washington State, which is 8-6. Oregon and Washington, the two leaders, are 8-3 and 7-3 respectively. BOWLING . CRATER LAKE LEAGUE The Medford Neon team composed of Ron Brienneman, Gene Hoyt, Ray Dey, Ralph Poston, Bill Meyers and Ken Clark, winners of the second half of the ieague sqhedule, defeated A n d y's Jewelers, winners of the first half, 4553 to 4269 in a playoff to deter mine the Crater Lake Bowl ing league's championship. During the regular season, Leonard Nelson had trie high scratch and handicap indi vidual series with scores of 664 and 710. Ed Guldan had high individual game of 278 with handicap, while W. Mey ers had the high scratch game with a 255f William Newland carried the high average for the season in the league and Harold Colver received an award from - the American Bowling Congress for having shown the most improvement in the current season over his last season's average. He rais ed his average from 143 to leeins. EVERGREEN LEAGUE Standings: R O Stephenson Lbr. Co. Medford Steel Two Medford Blowpipe Co. Barco Supply Co. Seven Up Bottling Co.

The game commisison feels that the spring chinook does a bet ter job of restocking itself than the hatchery and they have some figures that sound mighty convincing. Planted fish are marked by clipping one fin and sample counts are taken from each year's returning run. The number of marked fish in the total run was .16 per cent in 1953 and 7.02 in 1957. The average for six years since 1950 amounted to 1.70 per cent. v NATURAL PROPAGATION BEST These figures may seem somewhat misleading in that to how many were plants the downstream migrants as we don't know the makeup of and how many were natural ly spawned in "gravel. There are a few figures which would seem to support the natural method in that the percentage of stocked fish to return in 1951 was .07 and in 1953 it was 2.34. Though the evidence isn't complete, what they have so far would lead me to put my money in saving as many fish, as pos sible for natural propagation. THE ANGLER'S LOG There was no report from Squaw lakes for this - week and I think it would be safe to assume that the fishing is still , slow.

D'Amato Explains Insistence On Yank Manager for Ingemar New York (UPD Cus D'' Amato, pilot of heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson, said today he had insisted upon an American manager for challenger Ingemar Jo hansson of Sweden for these reasons: "It would prove unques tionably that Edwin Ahlqvist of Sweden was not Johans son's manager and had. no right to sign a return bout con tract for Johansson and Eddie Machen of California." -"I . wanted to be legally certain that Johansson did have a dependable manager before I contracted with Jo hansson for a world title fight with Patterson." -"And because Johansson knew no American managers, I suggested Harry Davidow of Brooklyn-my one-time man agerial partner - because 1 knew he was honest and could not be swayed , by the con spirators who are trying every trick to prevent the June 25 fight from taking place." D Amato denied the ' specu lations" that he had any direct or indirect financial interest in Davidow's managerial con tract with Ingemar. The Swedish challenger had told sports writers he was forced by D'Amato into ac cepting the Brooklyn man ager, on a five-year contract for 10 per cent of his purses. is to pitch Saturday for the Maids with Ellen Callaghan billed for hurling action on Sunday. ... . - Miss Callaghan is a: center fielder when not pitching but may be absent Saturday night since she is entered in the state prep tennis tourney at Corvallis. The outfield then will be picked from among Charlotte Unruh, Jan Bate Bateman, Irma Penwell and Jay McDermott. v Jean Main will be on the catching end of the Rogue Valley battery. Doris Hickson will be on hand for relief pitching for the Maids, play ing first base when not need ed on the chucking slab. In other week ed league games, Eugene will be at Se attle and Vancouver, B. C, at Portland Lind Florists both nights.

One of Top Fields In ND Cinder Meet University of Oregon, Eu gene-One of the top fields of all time will swing into action at Hayward Field Saturday when the Northern division track and field teams meet for the 30th annual champion ship meet. Coach Bill Bowerman's Or egon Ducks, winner of the team title for the last five years, is again favored to win with Washington State, Wash ington and Oregon State all given a fighting . chance to capture the second spot won by the Huskies last year. A major assault on the meetvecords may take place, particularly in the field events where five of the six meet marks have been bettered by one or more of the entries during the dual meet season. There is also an outside chance that records in one or two running events may fall if competitive and weather conditions are good. The individual battles are expected to be as hotly con tested as any in recent years and all of the defending cham pions will have to be at their peak to repeat. This list in cludes Oregon's Jim Grelle in the mile, Ken Grant in the high jump, and Dave Edstrom in the high hurdles. Washing ton's Cliff LaBounty in the pole vault, discus thrower Don Anaker, quarter - miler Terry Tobacco, Dail Moser in the 880 and the Husky relay team, Washington State's Dick Rubenser in the javelin, low hurdler Spike Arlt and shot putter Steve Frye, and Idaho's Frank Wyatt in the two mile. One other defending cham pion, Otis Davis of Oregon in the 220, has given up his shot at a repeat win to try for the title in the 440. Both Grelle and Tobacco are trying for their third straight champion ships and two others, Jack Burg of Oregon in the pole vault and Wayne Moss of Ore gon State in the high jump were winners in 1957 and then missed in 1958. Much of the attention from the crowd of around 6,000 is expected to be centered on the return meeting between Tobacco and Davis in the 440, Arlt and Edstrom in the high hurdles, Arlt and Steve An derson of the Ducks in the low hurdles and Wyatt ' and Oregon's Dick Miller in the two-mile. The broad jump will com mand much attention as Dar rell Horn of Oregon State clashes with Steve Anderson of the Ducks. Both went 25V4 last week, but there is little chance of their getting over 25 feet in Oregon's tradition ally tough pit. (Class B) ' 60 Rupp. OG; Humphreys, S; Miller, W; Spaur.

Rigney Benches Orlando Cepeda San Francisco-(UPD-The power-packed Cincinnati Redlegs tangle with the pitching fi nesse of the San Francisco Giants tonight and the out come may prove a point for Giant manager B"ill Rigney. Rigney has benched his sophomore first baseman, Or lando Cepeda, who was the 1958 "Rookie of the Year." And he weakened his line up defensively-it says here to put outfielder Jackie Brandt on first base and the slow-moving Leon Wagner in left field Boys Have Fish Catching Spree Central Point-A sight at the Hoover Lakes, Sunday, which caught the attention of several on-lookers from Cen tral Point was that of several boys on a fish catching spree they may never forget. They were fishing with hook and line and their own dreamy thoughts, when own er C C. Hoover came along and told them that a small portion of a dam had broken during the night allowing many fish to go into some small , ditches where they would soon die as the water dried up. The boys hurried to the spot, jumped in, and began grabbing the catfish and crap pies out of the water. More than one. woman received for Mother's Day a fine mess of fish from a wet, muddy and happy son.
