Rogue River Conservation Committee to Meet in Gold Beach
The Rogue River Conservation Committee plans a general meeting in Gold Beach on April 9 with representatives from across the Rogue river basin.

Kenneth Denman of Medford chairs the Basin Committee and will present material at the June hearing. Mr and Mrs W A Roberts of Arago traveled to Portland this week visiting Vancouver relatives.
