Woods, Water Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Those who talk about rain having a dampening effect on the spirits of people aren't talking about the kind of rain we've been experiencing this week. With forest fires pop ping out in smoke every day and with irrigation waters be coming critical as-to whether or not they will last the sea son, this rain is as welcome as a paid vacation to Alaska. It also may bring some more summer steelhead up the river to buttress the colony of hardy pioneers that made the trek through the hot water. This is the kind of rain that brings a smile to the face of the valley. NOT ACCEPTABLE It is hoped that the peo ple of the valley will accept the facts brought out in the hearing held in Grants Pass last week. Between the Army engineers and the fish and wildlife service it be came quite evident that the Rogue basin study was not complete and as such was not acceptable. The major reason for this was the lack of fish benefits in the Lost creek dam part of the proj ect. If this seems a small point to some, may I remind them that the valley pre sented a study to the stale water resources board a couple of years ago on the uses of water in the valley and one of the results of the study was that the fishery is considered one of the major resources of the val ley. It is doubtful if the SWRB would accept the en gineers study without bene fits lo the fishery on the main stem of the river. NO WATER FOR FISH This point became even more important when it was brought out in the hearing that the engineers would re lease no water for the fishery from Lost creek dam and that the flow during the summer would be no greater and even less, in some cases, than the mm DARRELL MILLER COMPANY is now starting its YEAR END CLEAN UP.

It means that in the years of low water, such as this year, the river would be the same or even lower than it is now. If you remember the 83 degrees that marked the hottest water in the lower canyon this summer you can realize what the F&W service meant when it said that Lost creek could eventu ally wipe out the migratory fish runs in the Rogue. A 1 OR 2 YEAR DELAY Because of r c n j re search in temperature-flow relationships the F&W serv ice thinks it can work out a schedule of temperature flow requirements which, if met by the engineers in the operation of Lost creek dam, would benefit the fishery to the extent that a main stem dam might prove to be ac ceptable. They require one or two years in which to collect the data necessary to work out the needs of the fishery and are asking the engineers to delay the com pletion of their study until this is accomplished. WHY DELAY NOW? One very pertinent question which deserves answering is why is the F&W service doing this research now instead of when the engineers were mak ing their study? The answer is that there was no work done or no information available before now. Another answer lies in the law passed by Con gress last year which allows wildlife and recreation bene fits to be applied in the cost benefit ratio of flood control projects. In other words the F&W service was stopped by law and by a lack of basic re search in finding out how a dam on the main stem of the river would help the fishery. WE NEED A DAMl At the present time it is the opinion of many con servationists that more water of proper quality and quantity is reeded for the fishery. The only way to get it is by tributary and up stream storage. More water is needed for irrigation and municipal use and by stor age of flood waters these needs can be met. By use of a basin project of storage dams the job can be done, but, if one need is neglected because of haste and poor planning, the whole project may never get off paper. If this happens we can blame none but ourselves. Jury Hears Rosensohn Testimony New York -(DPJ- Bill Rosen sohn, who promoted the first Ingemar Johansson-Floyd Pat terson bout but has since lost control of his own company, was scheduled to testify be fore the "boxing grand jury" today about the fight's odd promotional set-up. Rosensohn was grilled for nearly eight hours in the of fice of Dist. Atty. Frank Ho gan, repeating his earlier story of how he was "forced" to take in two promotional partners in order to stage the June 26 bout. At almost the same time, Frankie Carbo, reputed un derworld boss of boxing, was bemg questioned m the of fice of the State Attorney General Louis J. Kefkowitz, who also is investigating the odd goings-on surrounding the bout in which Johansson knocked out Patterson to win the heavyweight crown. It was the first appearance in the case for the dapper, smiling Carbo, who has plen ty of other legal troubles to keep him busy. Earlier in the day Carbo, who is awaiting trial on charges of being an undercov er and therefore unlicensed manager of fighters, was the target of a tax warrant filed in state supreme court. The warrant charges that Carbo owes the state approximately $240,000 m back income taxes. Jack Calls Off Sweden Jaunt New York - (UPI) - Ex- heavyweight champion Jack Dempsey, the new promotion al director of Rosensohn En terprises Inc., today called off plans for a trip to Sweden for a "man to man consultation" on fight plans with champion Ingemar Johansson. Dempsey bad planned to leave by plane tonight for Goteborg, Sweden, where he hoped to reach agreement with Johansson on a return bout against Floyd Patterson. But Dempsey. received news today that Johansson, who ap parently had not received word of Dempsey's plans, was traveling by plcftie today to England where he is to make an appearance at a "light fes tival" in the city of More-cambe. MORE DEAD DEER The tally now stands at about 50 deer drowned and about 20 saved at the Howard Prairie delivery canal. Three more ramps have been in stalled and a constant patrol of the ditch has been the means whereby several fawns have escaped drowning. Charlie bhepard, game com mission field agent, thinks we may be over the hump as to rate of deer lost because most of the deer using the habitat around the canal have been killed. This is small consola tion in that there will be a heavy kill of those deer, that frequent the area of the canal every year. This bad situation should be remedied before the bureau of reclamation finishes the project and leaves us with an annual kill of many valu able game animals. Stopgap measures arefine for now but they should come up with a permanent solution to a prob lem created by their extreme shortsightedness. THE ANGLER'S LOG Now that the heat's off, we can expect the fish to get a bit hungry at times and more easily tempted by our expensive offerings. With natural production of food on the wane and cooler water temperatures prevail ing, the next two months of lake fishing should provide tastier, harder-fighting fish for the lucky angler. Diamond Lake - Is picking up. The water is clearing and more fish are hitting flies that are drifted or trolled slowly. Flatfish are paying off and there has been some luck with the larger sizes. Fish Lake - Is still hot. Water is still about 25 feet deep in the channels and clear. The fish run from 8 to 12 inches and are hitting just about anything with a hook on it. Lake of the Woods - Is get ting better. Stillfishing the deep spots with medium col ored single eggs is the best bet. About 85 per cent of the fish are over a foot long. Squaw Lakes - Has been pretty good lakely. Lots of fish are hitting trolled flatfish. Willow Creek - Has im proved with FF&W and flat fish doing the business. Frog and yellow with red spots are the favorite colors.

The five entries in the tourney are Billings, Fair banks, Boise, Seattle, and Roseburg. Tournament favorite is Billings, which has compiled a 39-8 record this season. The Billings nine last season finished fourth in the nation. Oregon's state champion Roseburg squad will meet Boise Saturday night at 9:05. The regional champion will be crowned Wednesday night. The winner of the regional tournament will advance to the Legion sectionals to be held at Bend. home fish over 18 inches. Flies are taking limits in the evening. . THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Fish lake has survived the year without any of those little headaches called roach showing up. If the lake is clean of these scrap fish we can expect it to get better each year until it again be comes one of the hottest spots for big, hard-hitting fish. Anyone acquainted with its past history remem bers how it gave up 24 inch fish fairly often and a few over 10 pounds. GOOD LUCK! Busy Week-End Of Exhibitions In Pro Football United Press International The champion Baltimore Colts meet the runnerup New York Giants and the Washing ton Redskins play the Los An geles Rams tonight in the start of a busy week end of exhibition action in the Na tional Football league.

LA Rams, Redskins Vie Los Angeles (DPD Upwards of 80,000 fans are expected to turn out tonight to watch the Los Angeles Rams-and their two new attractions-against the Washington Redskins in the annual Times-sponsored charity exhibition game. The Rams, thanks largely to their new additions-back Ollie Matson and defender Gene Brito-are nine point favorites to whip the Red skins. Matson, former University of San Francisco great who was obtained from the Chi cago Cardinals, and Brito, ex Loyola of Los Angeles stand out, are making their home debut in Ram uniforms. Tied Detroit The Rams fought to a tie with the Detroit Lions two weeks ago in their only ex hibition, while the Redskins transplanted Californians dur San Francisco last week. Even though tonight's game is an exhibition, both Red skin coach Mike Nixon and Sid Gillman of the Rams promised to go all out for the game-a traditional affair with the proceeds going to charity. The touted Ram offensive backfield will have Billy Wade at quarterback, Jon Arnett-despite a hurt hand and Tom Wilson at the halves and Matson at fullback. LeBaron will lead a back field of Dick James and Jim Podoley at the halves and Johnny Olszewski, a former Chicago teammate of Mat son's, at fullback.
