Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DtVoss It looks like the fight to bring back a clean, usable and enjoyable Bear creek has begun, and only time will tell as to whether or not the effort will succceed. We may be sure to be able to count on there being no open opposi tion to stopping the pollution of the creek. The difficulties will be with the many viola tors who ' can't see how the junk they're throwing into the creek is going to hurt it any. TIME FOR ACTION The letter sent to the State Sanitary Authority by lhe local chapter of the Ore Son Sportsman's club may hare some effect in chang ing their dependence upon voluntary cooperation. An aroused public opinion seems to hare an almost magical result when it is brought to bear upon a pub lic agency. This is to be ex pected in a democracy where most agencies gear their efforts to the attitude of the general public. As long as we stay concerned over our pollution problems, w can expect the respon sibile agencies to act ac cordingly. A NATIONAL CONCERN Pollution is more than just a local problem and the need for results in solving national problems can be seen in the actions of both houses of Con gress. They are working on proposals to increase funds for air and water pollution con trol activities. Appropriations for research into causes and prevention of air pollution may be increased from 5 mil lion to 7.5 million dollars an nually. The House committee on public works has voted to Increase grants for construc tion of water pollution con trol facilities from $50 million to $100 million authorized annually. SALMON MOVING, Reports from the count lag station at Gold Ray dam indicate large numbers of salmon are moving up. The count last Friday was 926 salmon with 466 of these . coming in the last week. In 1955 the parent run at the same time was 461 total. In 1956 it was 2,717; in 1957 it was 3.414; in 1958 it was 1.483. The parent run amounted to 16,550 at the end of the season. Although these comparison figures may make it appear that this season might not" be loo bad, the current water year, with low flow and corres ponding high temperatures, is bringing the fish up fast er. According to the man who knows, it's still a loss up as to whether or not this year will exceed the parent run. - GANGSTERS! A particular kind of game law violator is making his yearly tour again. This type is distinguished by the huge hooks he uses when he fishes for salmon and his loud de- 'fense of his system as the only way to' catch salmon because " they don't bite anyway. Tour ists may observe them in ac tion during daylight hours at work, below the deadline at Savage Rapids dam. Their technique, is to cast above the deadline and drag the water with a big hook in hopes of nagging a salmon. They sometimes connect and almost always lose the fish, which then departs with a wound that never heals. These fish die without ever spawning and they and their unborn generations are lost to the honest angler. WHAT TO DO? These game law violators are stealing from us and continue to make our pur suit of fish and game a thing of restrictions and light con trol. When the game hog is socked with a stiffer fine than $15 when he breaks the law, he may think twice before he does it again. Of course, he must be caught first and this is not happening quite as often as violators appear. Game law enforcement is a thank less task and unrewarding at times, but it must be done and especilaly so this - 7e'. ' , in tip lop shape. WILLOW CREEK - Has been good all week. Green flatfish are paying off the best. When there's a riffle on the water the grey woolly worm is a good bet. LAKE OF THE WOODS -Fishing has been slow be cause of rough weather and few anglers. Fish are biting on flashers and worms and triple teasers. Hatch of fly ing black ants is over and fish will start biting soon. Biggest fish is a three pounder, 22 inches long. The road is being graded and should be completed to morrow. KLAMATH LAKE - Fair to good. Everybody's catching fish. Harold Ricks used a dare devil on one weighing 5Vfc. John Overand got a four and a quarter and a five and three quarter-pounder. Chuck Ken ny got seven this week, four and five pounders. Weather has been excellent. CRESCENT LAKE -Limits are being taken on K o k a n e e. Flashers and worms or flashers and small red flatfish are Going the job. On a slow troll. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The trout fishermen will en joy his fishing on the Rogue and tributaries next week end. The game commission has planted 52,000 rainbows that go four to the pound. They average over 8 inches and will be waiting on May 30. Best bet for this week end should be Klamath lake or Willow creek. Lake of the Woods should pick up soon and has plenty of fish for the catching before the water skiers get there GOOD LUCK! Bethea Clashes With Miteff New York - (UPD- Heavy weight Wayne Bethea of New York gets his big come back chance tonight as substitute in a 10-round fight with Alex Miteff of Argentina at Madi son Square Garden.

It will be 27-year-old Be thea's first important match since he was knocked out in the first round by contender Sonny Liston at Chicago last Aug. 6.

(UPD - Crash-conscious drivers, sad dened by the death of two fra ternity brothers, prepared to day for 'a race against the clock as well as against rain in final time trials for the 500-mile Memorial Day speed way classic. With 19 positions still open in the 33-car field, observers predicted a hectic rush, weath er permitting, toward the starting line when qualifica tions open Saturday. It wasn't sq much a question of "what will it take" to qualify. Every crew not yet qualified was set to gamble and "go for broke" in an ef fort to make the field Satur day and let Sunday take care of itself. Showers Predicted Scattered showers and thunderstorms were predicted for Saturday. The trial dead line is Sunday evening. Should the field be completed any time before then, slower cars can be "bumped" from the line-up. Only 14 cars were qualified last week end at an average speed of slightly above 144 miles per hour for the 10 mile test, somewhat faster than last year's overall field. Only two rookies - Bobby Grim and Don Branson-made the grade last week and most ly new-comers to the "500" figured in six practice and qualifying crashes, killing MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. 7 Friday, May 22, 1959 Jerry Unser and Bob Cortner : within less than 72 hours. v Electrical Wiring & Repair Industrial Commercial Residential Call Jack Hen best ROGUE ELEC.
