WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 8, 1958 HERALD AND NEWS KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE 7 A Diversion Of Snake River Traps, Kills Many Salmon SALEM. Ore. (AP) - The di version of the Snake River Tues day trapped and doomed thou sands of Chinook salmon just be low an Idaho Power Co. dam, Oregon Gov. Robert Holmes said. Holmes said the death rale in the migrating Chinook salmon run had reached catastrophic pro portions. And the peak of that run, he said, Is yet to reach the area. The governor said at least 1,000 fish died alter the river was di verted yesterday. And he added that experts have told him there Is no way to save thousands of salmon still trapped. Albert Day, the director of the Oregon Fish Commission, report ed to Holmes that the river was diverted into a tunnel just up stream from Idaho Power Co.'s Oxbow Dam. That tunnel carries the river through a mountain, and bypasses a big bend in the Snake. Thus that two-mile stretch in the bend was without any fresh flow of water. Day said the fish were in a number of pools, and that they were dying trom lack of oxygen There was no way, he added, to flip them from the river, It was the latest incident in a controversy that began when the power company's fish trap facili ties at the lower end of the d version tunnel broke down about Sept. 1. At that time, the flow through the tunnel was stopped, and the stream put back in its normal channel. The salmon thus swam up " Court Records KLAMATH FALL MI'NICIl'AI. COTRT Bill!.

Holmes, however, had criticized the Idaho Power Co.. savin? it had arbitrarily sharply reduced stream flow, and that it had been slow in repairing fish facilities. The governor earlier said the entire salmon run on the Snake was threatened with destruction Yesterday he reiterated his point of view in a telegram to Tom Roach, president of the Idaho Power Co. Roach was reported out of town, and unavailable for com ment. The Idaho Fish and Game Commission, however, said the situation was serious. Holmes' telegram to Roach said; "Since your misconceived fish trap facilities collapsed on Sept. 1, you have made repeated prom ises concerning the date on which those facilities would be Testored. "More than a month later, not a single one of those promises has been kept. "The director of the Oregon Fish Commission told me this af ternoon that the death of fish has reached catastrophic proportions and the peak of the run has not yet reached the scene of destruction. "I am tired as the rest of the people of Oregon of reading your promises in press releases about restoring the permanent fish fa cility. "What we want to know in these desperate circumstances is when you are going to get enough tern porary facilities into opc-'iiin" save the remainder of the run.' WANT YOUR KIDS BOUNCING WITH PEP?

Others explained the governor's plane had landed at the wrong airport. 'If the police come, somebody's going to get shot." Mrs. Irene Crosser, 37, a fac tory supervisor, emerged from a cutting room just before Crosser gave his warning. Detectives Gordon Selby and Bill Dowdy and factory workers told this story: While 57 employes, mostly wom en, scurried lor cover, crosser stalked his wife for about eight minutes. As they circled the long tables lined with sewing machines and fabrics, plant manager Howard Ritchart and others asked Crosser to put down his gun.

Then Patrolmen Clarence Bald win and Jay Larson arrived in response to an alarm. Crosser spotted Baldwin and fired at him, barely missing his shoulder. Then he fired two shots at his wife, being led away by the two women. She fell dead. Crosser then killed himself with a single shot in the head.
