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.

You might have to slide your
boat over the snow to tne

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

High Assessments

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.

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."
