STANTON We will be away from town for a few days. Being too lazy to write our column in advance for use during our absence, we have "scissored" material from other newspapers. Consequently other Oregon editors will be guest writers during our absence. The trip we are taking is in connection with an event which has received little publicity yet has stirred up tre mendous interest among the state's conservationists. We are going to Warner valley, in Lake county, a sec tion of Oregon we have not seen previously. It is there that the State Land board is proposing to sell several thousand acres of public lands for agricultural purposes. The plan involves drainage of some swamp land in one of the state's finest migratory fowl resting areas. Protest Is Widespread The Oregon Game commission is raising strenuous ob jection to the original drainage and irrigation plan. In this protest the commission has been joined by duck hunt ers and conservationists. Intervening in the dispute, Governor McKay has ordered an on-the-ground inspection. The project will be viewed by representatives from the State Land board, Board of Control, Game commission, U. S. Fish and Wildlife service, Bureau of Land Manage ment and other state and federal agencies. Federal agencies are involved because the project in cludes plans for a trade for intermingled lands under con trol of the Bureau of Land Management. Many conservationists have become interested and have been invited to participate in the inspection. The Game commission has set up a camp at Hart mountain antelope refuge headquarters for the convenience of sportsmen. Large groups are expected from all parts of the state. Facilities have been provided where visitors may camp, furnishing their own bedding rolls. A camp cook will prepare meals, if desired, but the cost will be collected. Transportation is to be furnished for ground tours, and state officers will be flown over the valley for an inspection from the air. Should Put Land To Best Use The Warner valley dispute may prove of great importance as a matter of precedence. It may be the start of a pro gram to put public land to its best economic use. It also will have an important bearing on the increasing conflict between agriculture and wildlife. A few years ago the State Land board leased many thousands of acres in lower Warner valley to cattlemen at an exceedingly low fee. Swamps were drained, thus taking the land out of use for the seasonal heavy population of migratory waterfowl. It is feared the same thing will happen in the northern part now under investigation, are Information gathered and published by the Game com mission indicates that agricultural values of the area are low. Irrigation is essential, but the supply of surplus water is limited. Alkalinity is a critical factor. The Game commission contends that the lands have greater value for waterfowl use than for submarginal agriculture. Bird Population Needs Room Steady encroachment by agriculture on waterfowl habitat has critically affected the country's bird population. Hun dreds of thousands of acres of swamp lands have been "reclaimed" in late years. In many instances the "reclaimed" land has proven almost worthless for agriculture, has been abandoned, and today exists as dry desert. Ducks Unlimited, an organization of conservationists, has spent millions of dollars, raised by voluntary contributions, to restore swamps and lakes and thus undo the damage caused by mistaken reclnmalionists in Canada where the birds breed and nest. But this country's flyways are critical, insofar as wildlife is concerned. As resting areas are reduced, birds arc con centrated too thickly on remaining habitat, causing much agricultural damage, while being decimated by hunters. If drainage projects result in greater economic use of the land for agriculture than for wildlife habitat, then there is excuse for reclamation. But too many projects have been costly mistakes. The forthcoming Warner valley inspection is to determine how to secure the best agricultural economy with the least possible damage to waterfowl habitat. We should have an interesting trip.

Participating in the two-day af fair were the Douglas county sher iff's posse and the local rodeo queen, Ardis Giles, and her court of princesses. Del McKay, who took the queen and her court to Grants Pass, said the Josephine county rodeo was similar to the one held yearly at Roseburg. with stock furnished by Christiansen Bros., of Eugene. He said the local girls were en tertained throughout the day nnd participated in the parade and grand entry Saturday night.

Warrants are out for a fourth member of the suburban house hold believed by police to have taken part in several of the crimes. He is Ha i ley Johnson, 21, son of Nina Johnson. Tichcnor said Perkins has ad mitted several major burglaries and told of "so many smaller thefts he can't remember them all." Perkins is named in two charges of burglary, two of grand larceny and one of petty larceny.

At dusk music lovers crowded into St. Peter's church, whose ro manesque belfry towers pictur esquely over the low, brightly -painted Catalan houses. Streams of big American cars crowded the narrow streets. Por traits of Bach were in every shop window. A large number of the 5,000 in habitants oi Prades gathered out side the church as the first con cert began. There are to be 12, lasting until June 20.
