Action Taken at Portland to Protect
Birds During Bad Weather.
Portland, Ore., Oct 20 (Special)
Federal protection for migratory
birds during their flights must be had
if these feathered creatures are not
to be exterminated, says William 1 1
Flnley, of Portland, a widely known
ornithologist. Mr. Finley is a bird au
thority whose researches , have been
prosecuted from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, as well as abroad. He is a
lecturer tor. the National Association
of Audubon societies of New York
city. .. . ' l
He favors the establishment of gov
ernment or state reservation that shall
be retreats for wild birds. These areas,
he suggests, may be established on
nrlvate estates where the owners' are
willing and placed in charge of good j
gamekeepers who shall prohibit all
shooting. Song and game birds, he
believes, will thus become abundant
in these refuges and will spread out
and populate the surrounding coun
try,-' - : ;
.Mr. Finley has Just returned from
California, where he visited the state
game farm at Hay wards. There he
found the state has gone Into the bus
lnsBS of raising .pheasants, which are
furnished to farmers and others for
propagation, the young being liber
ated In favorable places throughout
the state.

; Circumstances attending, unto the1
Wallowa land opening, settlement -of
which is permissible at midnight to
morrow, Indicate that there will be
no lineup at the La Grande land of
fice, a,nd if there is a lineup, it will
be short-lived and inclusive of only
a few. On the other land, the land
that is to be thrown open to settle
ment day after tomorrow is going, to
be dotted with settjers some are al
ready there and have been for some
time."' ' " ;"
This status of affairs is due prin
cipally to the new orders of the gov
ernment It has been the custom to
visit the desired tract, and then rush
to the lan4 office to be the first in
line to file. This time it is vastly
different and the man who settles
after tomorrow, midnight, has all the
time he wants. The routine which the
government has laid down is for the
applicant to settle on the land after
the 21st of October and to stay on
the land desired until November 22.
From that date he has thirty days to
file, and any person having filed on
that land without settlement will be
relegated hy the affidavit of the sec
ond homesteader alleging that he has
lived on the land 30 days. ,
As between two men who have not
settled hut are anxious to have the
land, the man who is first In the land
office on the 21st of November is giv
en preference. If, however, it is found
that a third party has settled os the

kind ever held in Eastern Oregon
was the Commercial club banquet at

EXPLOSION CREATES HAYOC.
land, both those, who were striving to
file first will be forced to stand back
for the man who did Bettle,
- ' Some Already There. ,
It is a well known fact that a large
number of people have already set
tied on pieces or land there in or
der to be on the ground when the
settlement commences. However, any
person can settle on the same land
at midnight tomorrow and stand a
better chance of eventually gaining
title to the same piece of land than
the man who has lived there a month
previous. The latter has the burden
of proof on his shoulders throughout
and the former has followed the in
structions of the land office ' depart
ment while the other has acted pre
maturely.' , .
Another reason why , the land office
lineup is not a feasible scheme is that
while the applicant Is at the lineup
he is of course nof on the land, and
the marr who has setttled is going to
win over all others. V.
: So the conjecture that a lineup In
connection with this Important open,
ing Is not going to assume any ser
ious proportions is a logical deduc
tlon. Tomorrow commences one of the
most important land openings In East
ern Oregon's history and the Influx of
easterners has already been marked
for they have been gathering in Wal
Iowa county for several days and mid
right tomorrow will see a. short-lived
scramble and then, peace and quiet
again. (
