Regulations for Use of Rogue River Trail Are Reviewed Use regulations for the Rogue River Recreation area, including the Rogue River Foot trail, have been released by the bureau of land manage ment, department of the in terior. Dedication of the trail will be held early in July, prob ably July 9 or 10, and the BLM has asked that the rules for public use be reviewed prior to the dedication ceremony. ; m The new section of the trail i are to be attended at all times from the BLM b r i d e e at I and must be extinguished be- Graves Creek to the mouth of fore leaving the camp, the Whiskey Creek will be com pleted June 30. Lands Included The recreation area em braces the Rogue River can yon from the Almeda bridge to Marial. Lands within ap proximately one-half mile on each side of the river for a distance of 23 miles are in cluded. Major recommendations in the use regulations limit camping to designated camp grounds and to seven days of continuous occupation by any one group; and prohibit mo torcycles and motor scooters in the area. Camp fires or cooking fires BLM noted. Refuse shall be placed in garbage pits (when possible) or buried. Defacing or damaging of trees, signs, campground equipment and other improve ments is prohibited and is punishable by a fine of up to (1.000 and' of one year in jail. Unless otherwise author ized, motorized, wheeled ve hicles, pack animals and horses are strictly prohibited except in cases of emergency. This regulation is in agree ment with the desire of inter ested persons who have asked that the Rogue River Recrea tion area be kept free of mo t o r i z e d wheeled equipment and reserved for foot travel only, Donald J. Schofield. dis trict manager of the BLM, noted. Wheeled vehicles such a? motorcycles and motor scoot ers cause damage to the trail, particularly in wet weather. There is also evidence of "side-hilling" being done with this type of vehicle which re sults in severe rutting on steep slopes, Schofield added. These areas are highly susceptible to erosion if disturbed and if mo torized vehicles are allowed in the area there will undoubt edly be drivers who will -be "hill climbing" where the op portunity occurs, the BLM manager contended. Horses and pack animals have been used for transport on the trail in recent months. Damage to trails by these an imals consists primarily of holes punched in damp stretches in wet weather and breaking down the shoulders on new construction. Another reason for exclu sion of horses lies in the na ture of Hie country itself. MedfordTribune D SECTION MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNS 23, 1963 PAGES 1 to 10 There are few places where horses can obtain natural for age in the canyon and these are only suitable in the spring of the year, the report from the . Medford office empha sized. Motorized vehicles also are lifted as contributing to the fire hazard and to vandalism. Vandalism recently discov ered had not happened to structures along the trail pri or to the advent of motorized equipment, Schofield said, adding that he was quite sure it was done by persons riding motorized equipment. Open Area of River Answering the argument of the motor scooter organization members that they could reach the little used fishing areas- in a relatively short time with the motorized equip ment, Schofield said that the new trail along the river will open up a stretch of the river accessible in about one-half hour of walking. "In this portion of the Rogue river drainage we have an area which is world re nowned for its fishing re source and virtually un touched natural scenery. To introduce mechanical means of conveyance such as scooters and motorcycles would negate much of the charm which the area now holds for the out doorsman," Schofield said in his report, "and we feel they are neither necessary nor de sirable to enjoyment of the wilderness."

Paul Weiland, Med ford, representing the Jack son county chapter- of the Izaak Walton league, told state sanitary officials here Fkiday that his organization is ready. and willing to exert its major effort to help elimi nate the sources of Bear creek pollution. "The people of the Bear creek valley are anxious to i have this pollution eliminat-1 ed." he said.' - i Weiland pointed out that, since the creek is used to j transmit irrigation water, it j is not practical to dry it up. Consequently, he said, the j pollution must be eliminated for the best interests of the city of Mcdlord. j The chanjer representatives j said that in their -efforts con cerning Bear creek, Walton- j ians noted five things: i 1. The waters of the creek 1 are more polluted than a year ago. 2. Without strick enforce ment of the state laws apply ing to the creek and its tribu taries, there will be little worthwhile benefit derived from the plans to beautify the banks of the stream. 3. The waters of the creek are not only used for irriga tion but also for the domestic water supply of cities on the banks of Rogue river. 4. Sill, in the opinion of Waltonians. U one nf the worst pollutants in She case of the creek. - 5. Because of the creek be ing a small stream, it will be necessary to virtually eliminate all sources of pol lutants such as sewage, in cluding malfunctioning septic tanks.
