Numerous springs along the course and in the headwaters assure a 

 constant minimum flow. There are two hatchery sites on the stream, 

 one just above the mouth and the other at the mouth of Little 

 Lookingglass Creek. No information was obtainable on the present 

 size of the runs of anadromous fish into the stream, but they are 

 undoubtedly depleted, in common with the entire Grande Ronde system* 

 Lookingglass Creek is one of the best appearing smaller streams in 

 the system, and is of potential value to anadromous fish. 



13V-(1). Little Lookingglass Creek . — (October 10, 19^0} 

 Parkhurst and Frey. ) Little Lookingglass Creek enters Lookingglass 

 Creek approximately 3& miles above the mouth and extends for a dis- 

 stance of about 20 miles, including its two main branches. It was 

 2ii feet wide near the mouth, and was discharging approximately 

 20 c.f.s, at the time of the survey. The stream branches at a point 

 1^ miles above the mouth, both forks remaining large enough for 

 several miles to accomodate migratory fish. Logging operations on 

 the watershed may lower the minimum sustained flow. The gradient 

 is moderate, with almost continuous good shallow riffles and excel- 

 lent spawning areas. At the time of the survey the stream appeared to 

 be of some potential value for small runs of migratory fish. 



13W. Cabin Creek ,— ■» (October 10, 19h0j Parkhurst and Frey.) 

 Cabin Creek enters the Grande Ronde River approximately 87 miles above 

 the mouth and extends for a distance of about 12 miles, including its 

 two main branches. It was 9 feet wide near the mouth, and was dis- 

 charging about 3 c.f.s. at the time of the survey. The stream branches 

 at a point l£ miles above the mouth, neither fork being large enough 

 to be of value to salmon. The gradient is moderate, with numerous 

 shallow riffles and excellent spawning areas. Cabin Creek is of 

 little possible value to salmon, but it may be utilized by steelhead 

 trout at higher water stages. 



13X. Gordon Creek . — (October 10, 19h0j Parkhurst and Frey.) 

 Gordon Creek enters the Grande Ronde River approximately 9U miles 

 above the mouth. It is a small stream, discharging less than 1 c»f,s, 

 at the time of the survey. Because of its low flow during the late 

 summer and fall months the stream is of no possible value to salmon. 



131, Phillips Creek .—. (October 9, 19U0j Parkhurst and Frey.) 

 Phillips Creek enters the Grande Ronde River near the town of Elgin, 

 approximately 96 miles above the mouth. The lower section of the stream 

 was completely dry at the time of observation. For this reason it is 

 of no possible value to salmon, 



13Z, Clark Creek .— (October 10, 19U0j Parkhurst and Frey.) 

 Clark Creek enters the Grande Ronde River near the town of Elgin, approx- 

 imately 96 miles above the mouth, and extends for a distance of about 

 30 miles, including its two main branches. The north fork and the 

 middle fork of Clark Creek enter about 5 miles and $\ miles above the
