Three Children
Die in Blaze
Washington IUP1I Three
young children, apparently
left alone, were killed early
today when a fire swept their
two-story house.
Firemen found Sharon Shor
ter, 4, and her brothers Kirk
5, and Malcolm 7, stretched
out on the floor of an upstairs
bedroom. The badly burned
youngsters were pronounced
dead at a hospital.
Fire officials said the chil
dren's mother, identified as
24-year-old Jean Shorter, was
not home when the fire broke
out.
The blaze gutted the first
floor of the brick home in
the southeast section of the
city and badly damaged the
second floor. Firemen could
not determined the cause of
the fire immediately.
- They said the blaze appar
ently started in the living
room, spread to the rear of
the first floor and then
through the ceiling to the sec
ond floor where the children
were sleeping.
What Does Tha
Bible Say?
Of Moss, we learn thai he was
the prototype of that which
was to follow in Christ. We
shall mention only a few scrip
tures. We learn in chap. I and
2 of Exodus that at the time of
Moses' birth, Pharoah had giv
en orders that all of the boy
babies should be killed at birth,
but Moses was providentially
saved. In Matt, we learn that
Joseph and Mary had to flee
Into Egypt with Jesus because
of the attempt on his life by
Herod. Moses was 1 deliverer.
8y faith he refused the wealth
and throne of Egypt and chose
III treatment with the people,
Heb. 1 1:24, 25. He was di
vinely commissioned to save
Israel from oppression, chaps.
3 and of Exodus. He was
God's spokesman to Pharoah.
He saved Israel from their op
pression by the blood of a slain
lamb, the first feast of the
passover, and by the power of
God in delivering the children
of Israel through the dead sea
into Sinai country.

"Jackson County chapter of
the Izaak Walton leagurPMon
day night went on record fa
voring legislation by Con
gress which would return to
the states the power to con
trol water and the use thereof
on non-navigable streams.
Members also passed reso
lutions strongly opposing con
struction of dams at Copper
canyon on Rogue river and
at Buzzard's Roost in the Illi
nois river.
In other resolutions the
Walton chapter went on rec
ord opposing creation of
Oregon department of natural
resources and urged the Jack
son county court to make pro
vision for use of all funds
received from the Oregon
state marine board, for en
forcement of boating regula
tions and development of boat
ing facilities. Waltonians ask
ed that the state game com
mission open trout season on
April 22 above Laurelhurst
bridge on the main stem of
the Rogue river and above
Cobleigh bridge on Big Butte
creek.
A resolution to reaffirm the
chapter s stand against con
solidation of the state fish
commission and the state
game commission was tabled.
Water Us Control
In their water use control
action, Waltonians declared:
"It has been and should be
the power of each state to
control the water and use
thereof in the respective non-
navigable streams within its
boundaries."
The members pointed out,
however, that the U. S. Su
preme Court has by several
decisions held in effect that;
even on non-navigable
streams, states cannot prevent
construction of dams under
permits issued by the federal
government, and thereby, has
Clothing, Bedding
Needed Locally
By Salvation Army
Clothing for children and
men and bedding are still
needed by the Salvation
Army, Sr. Capt. William
Ricken, commanding officer,
reminded residents today.
Last week the Salvation
Army started a clothing drive
in the county. He said that
the cold weather and the un
employment in the area has
resulted in a higher number
of distributions for clothing
and bedding. He added that
only a half dozen calls are
being received at the office
for them to pick up items.
Furniture that is usable is
also desired to meet the local
low income families needs,
Captain Ricken said.
During December more than
400 items of clothing and
shoes were given away. The
previous month 250 items
were distributed. In addition
to this, the Salvation Army
distributed 178 grocery ord
ers. Single transient men and
families who have been
housed at the shelter on Crews
rd. totals 441 beds and 1,143
meals served. This figure in
clude 167 women, he added.
The officer said that with
the need for clothing, it has
become necessary for the
Salavation Army to contact
people at their homes. He en
couraged residents to tele
phone the office at SPring
3-7335 if they have any sur
plus clothing or bedding so
a truck may be sent to pick
it up Tuesday or Friday.
Clothing may also be left
at the Salvation Army, 30

This resolution has a tie to
those on the Buzzard's Roost
and Copper Canyon issues.
Coos-Curry Electric coopera
tive has applied to the federal
power commission tor a li
cense on the proposed Buz
zard's Roost project. Site is
six miles up the Illinois from
its mouth and the purpose is
power generation
Published reports indicate
that a SIS-foot high dam is
sought on the Illinois site with
crest 1,000 feet long. The
reservoir would be 18 miles
long with storage of 1.200,000
acre feet of water and draw
down providing 200,000 acre
feet of usable storage.
Waltonians argued that the
dam would effectively block
all runs of Chinook and silver
salmon, steelhcad, cutthroat
trout and other fish, and the
same would be destroyed since
the dam would make inaccess
ible about 165,409 square
yards of spawning gravel out
of about 185,499 in the Illi
nois river system.
The IWL resolution brings
out that the Illinois fishery
made up of about 3,350 fall

few existing winter steelhead I
streams in the Rogue basin. J
It maintains that fish ladders i
will not operate successfully
and that transporting devices
have been unsuccessful else
where. Walton members vigorously
questioned the economic feasi
bility of the project, the mar
ket and need for power from
such a dam and the benefit
to the public. They mentioned
that the Oregon hydroelectric
commission denied permission
for a dam upstream from the
site and said the Oregon wa
ter resources board probably
will not approve such a dam.
The resolution on the Cop
per Canyon proposal declared
that such a dam is not needed
and would be contrary to the
best interests of the great ma
jority of the people. Resulting
ultimate destruction of fish
was brought out.
The dam would flood out a
great stretch of river unex
celled for scenery and boat
trips over wild water and sub
stitute a reservoir upriver, a
distance of about 100 miles,

which now exists in advisory

also went on record opposed
to inclusion of the fish com
mission and game commission
in any such department. Chap
ter stand was taken in antici
pation of consideration by the
state legislature of the gov
ernor's reorganization pro
gram. Walton members asserted
that inclusion of the two com
missions in the natural re
sources department would be
a backward step, negating the
continuity of personnel and
policy, freedom from interfer
ence, independence of thought
and action and removal of the
commissions from politics,
which are essential to a sound
and continuing program. Fear
of the affect of politics par
ticularly was expressed
should there be a department
under power of the governor
and a director appointed by
him with great and far reach

mittee is all the capacity it
should have, the resolution
said.
In the resolution seeking
definite earmarking of the
funds from the marine board,
the Waltonians pointed out
that this money now goes to
the county general fund.
As a measure to protect
downstream migrating young
salmon and steelhead, opening
of trout season in the Rogue
basin has been delayed until
late May, a month later than
the general season opening. In
the resolution to open the
Rogue above Laurelhurst
bridge and Big Butte above
Cobleigh bridge on April 22,
Waltonians said that most of
the salmon and steelhead of a
size which might be hooked
by anglers would be below
the two bridges by that time.
The two streams were open
ed to trout fishing above the
two bridges when the general
season began in 1959. Last
year all Rogue basin streams
were closed to angling until
late May.

ed also in anticipation of i
bill at the current session of
the legislature. Decision to
table came after prolonged
discussion. Waltonians are de
sirous that monies collected
from sportsmen for fishing
and hunting licenses are spent
for their benefit and interests
rather than to be sidetracked
to commercial interests.
It was decided to wait and
see whether safeguards are in
cluded in the bill presented.
Such safeguards might make
the bill desirable legislation.
