Burrp.ester Creek . — (10 c.f.s.) and its tributary Rilyeu Creek 

 (5 c.f.s.) entering 1^- miles below Jordan Dam, have large amounts of 

 bedrock and boulders in the stream bed and are of little value to 

 salmon J but may be of some value to steelhead. Jordan Creek , enter- 

 in^ 1/2 ;nile above the dam, v/as disd-iart^ing less tl:ian 1 c.f.s., and 

 ■was considered to be of no value to salmon. 



253-(3)b. Crabtree Creek . — (August 16-21, 1940; Frey and Zimmer.) 

 Enters the South Santiam /+ miles above the MOuth. The stream is about 

 Ljy r.iiles long, of -v^iich the lower Ji miles were surveyed. The flov/- at 

 a pojjit 13 miles above the mouth was 38 c.f.s. The gradient is slight 

 to moderate, and the water temperature ranged from 58 - 70° F. 



A virater wheel at an old mill just above the confluence of Roar- 

 ing Creek, 19^: miles above the mouth, is a barrier at low water, as 

 is a log jam l/4 mile above. An irrigation diversion located 1/2 mile 

 above the mouth of Roaring Creek and carrj'-ing 4 c.f.s., is unscreened. 

 A diversion ditch leading to the Snow Peak Logging Comimny mill pond 

 24. miles above the raouth is unscreened. The Lacomb irrigation ditch 

 located 25 miles upstream and carrying 5 c.f.s., is equipped with 

 screens. 



There is spawning area in the lower 19|- miles below the old mill 

 wheel for about 4,000 salmon, but the run of salmon passes to the pre- 

 i'erred cooler upper section of the stream during hign water stages. In 

 the remaining 13 miles surveyed there is spawning area for at least 

 1,000 salmon, although it occurs in scattered patches among boulders 

 and bedrock. 



There were 155 spring Chinook spavmers counted in the vicinity of 

 lioarinr; Creek and above, and some salmon are reported to also enter 

 sOiae of the upper tributaries including Bald Peter . South Fork , and 

 Itock Greeks . A fev; steelhead also enter the stream, and rough fish are 

 ab'undant in tlie lovier section. 



25S-(3) b-ii. Roaring Greek . — (inspected August 22, 1940, Zirnmer; 

 and September 3, 1945, Parkliurs t . ) Enters Crabtree Creek 192 Diiles 

 above the raouth. The stream is about 7 miles long, and v/as discharging 

 15 c.f.s. Tl-iere is a dam 3 feet high located 200 ;;-ards above the mouth 

 and equipped with a fisli ladder. An Oregon State trout hatchery is lo- 

 cated a short distance above the mouth and diverts 6^ c.f.s. Roaring 

 Creek has a steep gradient and little suitable spawning area. Steelhead 

 trout have been reported occasionally, but no salmon have been seen 

 above the dam. 



253-(3)e. Yfiley Creek . — (inspected September 2, 1945; Parkhurst 

 and Hanavan.) Snters the South Santiam at the tovm of Foster, about 40 

 miles above the mouth. The stream was flowing 8 c.f.s., and the water 

 temperature v;-as 63 F., at a point 1 mile upstream. A concrete dam
