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!

Weather Threatens 500 Race Qualifying
Indianapolis, Ind. (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
