MORE ON AGATE Last week space was giv en in lhu column to ac quaint people with the ap prehensions felt by con servationisls regarding Agate dam and reservoir. The possible good or pos sible damage resulting from lht project itself are specu lative, and on this basia there can be little validity in actively opposing this project. The agencies in volved are on record aa foreseeing little harm from it. Only time will prove them right or wrong. The active opposition to Agate is based on the pos sibility that promotion of the project at this time may jeopardize the basin devel opment plan, involving Lost ereek dam and related proj ects, to the extent that there will be trouble convincing Congress of their need. Those opposed to Agate ask that it be included with the basin plan, which would de lay it at least a year. Those actively favoring Agate do not want it included in the basin plan because their immediate needs would have to take a place with the needs of others, and perhaps be found less press ing in the timetable of proj ect construction. Who can blame them, other than those who don't feel as they do? LADDER BIDDERS The game commission took 25 prospec I ve bidders on tour of the Illinois river falls area. The engineers were given a chance to talk on the spot with those who had first hand knowledge of the prob lem. Let's hope that the an swers to the problem are resolved into a concrete solu tion by this fall. MIGRATION STUDIES The problems involving the movement of fish around obstructions, such as dams, look as though they may be closer to their solutions on our Rogue riv er. The lower screens put in by the Ideal Cement com pany to bypass fish around the turbines of their power dam are working with re markable efficiency. Where as in past years there were several thousand fish being chewed up in the turbines, this year there are several thousand being bypassed every day. The problems are pretty well ironed out and the game commission is satisfied that the fish will have smooth sailing from now on. ALAMEDA IS READY The boat landing at Ala meda bar has been repaired The sand that was blocking the take-out has been remov ed and a circular drive with parking for about 20 cars has been bulldozed oui. The nicest part of this report is the fact that Josephine county did the work for free. Some counties are very advanced in their concept of recreational uses of our natural resources. WHERE'S THE BOARD? At one time we had a Rogue river coordination board, appointed by the Governor, that set dates as to when mining could be done adjacent to streams in the basin. The board has been inactive for about 10 years but if the siltation problem of Graves creek continues, perhaps it would be in order to ask that the board be reactivated. At one time it did a good job of halting the siltation of the river by diedge and sluice mining: let's hope it can be stopped before it really gets started again. THE ANGLER'S LOO There are no local .it reams opening to fishing this Sat urday. The Rogue and its tributaries will open on the 28th of May. Tomorrow the Cascade lakes will open but most of them are still locked in ice and snow. If you hate mosciuitos and own a pair of snowshoes. maybe this would be the best time to try the Cascade lakes. Diamond Lake The road is open but the lodge is not tak- FOR SALE Beautiful 1958 Cadillac Sedan Original Owner . . . Low Mileage Phone MU 9.1321 or MU 2-4181 DeVos. ing any more reservations. You might have to slide your boat over the snow to tne water, but there may be some comfort in knowing the lake won't be so crowded this way. Fish Lake-Has been hot the last couple of days. Trolling a best with FF&3T or If 4 super duper. Limits of fish up to 16 inches. The Butte Falls road will be graded by tomorrow. Howard Prairie - All re ports are optimistic. The fish are fat and fighters. Lots of fish between 18 and 20 inches. Klamath Lake - Has been good the last few days. Not many fishermen but those who go out are coming back with several fish apiece. The fish average 4 to 5 pounds nd are hitting small FF&W. Lake of the Woods-Fishing is very good. Latcnes oi kokance, eastern brook, and rainbow are being made. Good luck stillfishing with worms or trolling with FF&W or FF&ff. Fish average over 10 inches. Squaw Lakes - Are still good. Nice catches are being made stillfishing from shore using gob eggs. Willow Creek - More big fish are being caught. They are hitting flies or small lures trolled close to the top. Woolie worm works fine. Stillfishing with vclveela cheese is a goud producer. Rogue River - The salmon were doing fine but things have slowed down some since Monday. Water temperature went down to 50 degrees. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Those hatchery fish won't all be planted this week. Half of them are being saved for release the first part of June. It is to be hoped that this wasteful method of supplying meat to the stream fishermen will be completely discard ed some day. There are plenty of studies proving this waste, but enough fish ermen haven't read them. Someday enough will and then something will be done. GOOD LUCK! Missile Project Strike Threatened Burbank -IlTD- Work stop- upage on four vital U.S. de fense missile and space pro grams was threatened today in a labor dispute between the International Association of Machinists and Lockheed Missiles and Space Division. IAM spokesman Thomas E. McNett at a press conference Thursday accused Lockheed of stalling during two months of negotiations covering 10, 548 workers in six plants. He said strike authorization was expected to be approved by IAM members In voting on Sunday. McNett said the union was seeking a two-year work con tract with a 7 per cent total increase, including wage boosts and other contract changes. The average machin ist now earns $2.90 an hour, he said. A strike by the machinists would affect work on the Polaris underwater missile, the Discoverer satellites, and the Samoa and Midas satel lites. The latter two are being rushed to completion as de fense alarm and surveillance systems. Lockheed is working on all four of the top priority projects. Commercial Fish Catch Reported Washington -WD- The In terior Department said today the United States commercial fishery catch In 1959 totaled 5.100.000.000 pounds, slightly below the record catch in 1958. The average price paid fishermen was 6.71 cents per pound, the lowest in 14 years. The total value of the catch was 342 million dollars, 31 million below 1958 and 11 mil lion under the 10-year aver age The department said the price fall-off was due to the big increase in the catch of low-priced menhaden and to sharp declines in the landings of high - priced salmon and tuna. There were decreases in the prices paid fishermen for shrimp and halibut. Springbrook Area Residents Protest High Assessments Some 15 residents of the ably higher than the original Springbrook Sanitary sewer i estimates. area protested in vain at last night's Medford city council meeting that sewer assess ments in the area are too high. After listening to the pro tests for nearly a half hour the council approved the as sessments which are consider- Fruit Growers Get Rent-Free Lease On City Barracks The Fruit Growers league has been granted a rent-free renewal of its lease on eight acres of city-owned property near the municipal airport which it uses for a seasonal labor camp. The Medford ctiy council last night had first considered charging the league some $600 a year for rent, but changed its mind after several mem bers of the league presented their views on the matter. One of the league's repre sentatives told the council the federal government, which originally owned the property, had given the land and sev eral barrack-type buildings to the city for the specific use of the Fruit Growers. He said the Fruit Growers had bet?u using the property for a labor camp prior to the city's gaining control. The government did not charge the city anything for the property and they intended that the Fruit Growers con tinue using it, he said. Benefit to Community He pointed out that the labor camp is of benefit to the entire community and the some 400 migrant laborers who live there during the summer, work for all farmers in the area, large and small, even though the larger con cerns pay the cost of bringing them to the camp. The city has no use for the land, he said, and if the Fruit Growers were to quit using it, it would be a burden to the taxpayers. Selby Tultlc, another Fruit Growers representative, told the council the league has spent some $27,000 on main tenance, insurance and im provements to the land in the past nine years and is now planning to construct an $8, 000 water line there. If the league had to pay rent on the land it would also mean. Tultle said, that they would have to start paying taxes on it, which they now do not do. If the league has to pay rent on it, he said, "it is going to be so expensive to growers that it will be unfair." Councilman Stanley Stark, who had originally recom mended that the S600 rent be charged, changed his mind and said the penalties are too great to warrant a rental at this time. The council voted 6-1 in favor of the rent - free lease with Councilman Donald Han son opposed. Lal.'bi?';'co- LB . The original estimate of cost of the Springbrook sewer to property owners was $3 per front foot and $40 per connection. This was revised after the sewer was completed to $4.37 per front foot and $85 per connection. A number of persons at the meeting said if they had known that this would be the cost, then they would not have signed a petition re questing that the sewer be constructed in the first place. One of the residents wanted to know how the contractor could submit a low bid of $9,000 for the project and then do the project at an ac tual cost of $18,000, Bid on Unit Basis City Manager Robert A. Duff said the contractor bid on the project on a unit basis. This means, he said that it would cost him so much to move so many cubic yards of rock and so many cubic yards of dirt, and this is the basis on which the contract was let. The amount of rock was "underestimated" he said, which is the reason for the increased cost. Another resident replied, "are we going to be the fall persons for that, I think it will be way out of reason." Several other residents said the contractor made a number of mistakes in laying the sewer and had to dig por tions of this up and replace it. Duff said the cost of the con tractor's mistakes are not in cluded in the assessment. He added that city engineering inspectors made the contrac tor do portions of the sewer over in order to ensure the property owners of a good Donald Hanson said, "I see no alternative-it appears the price is the best price available." A motion to postpone ac tion on the assessments until the next meeting was defeat ed by a 5-2 vote. The motion that the property be assessed passed by a 6-1 vote with I Councilman Ed Hall voting no.

M)I0N1 CISTIUUS M0DUCU COMPANY, NEW YORK Hatfield Talks on Political Asylum I Salem-iVPli-Gov. Mark Hat field told five Colombian newspaper editors and a news-1 man from India Thursday that the U.S. offers political asylum to fallen dictators under the principles of inter national law. But he said it becomes a violation of those principles when that asylum is used as a springboard to continue harassment in the affairs of their country. Hatfield said the difficulty in working with foreign na tions in assistance programs is the degree of help "which is short of what could be in terpreted as undesirable in tervention in that nalon s affairs."
