William L. Finlcy of this city, who has
been appointed lecturer for the Xatlonal
Association of Audubon Societies re
turned yesterday after a two month's trip
to the East where he lectured In many
of the principal cities in the interest of
Audubon work. He was accompanied on
the trip by Mrs. Finley and her mother,
Mrs. P. A. Barnhart.
The appointment of Mr. Finley as na
tional lecturer for the Audubon Societies
Is in recognition of the remarkable work
that Mr. Finley and Herman T. Bohl
man have accomplished In photographing
and studying wild birds in their natural
haunts. The two young men have
tralveled and studied throughout the
West till they are perhaps more familiar
with conditions of bird and animal life
and more alive to the needs of pro
tection in this part of tho country than
any others in the country.
The work of the Audubon Societies,
which are organized in almost every
state, lias been most important for the
protection of non-game birds. In 1900 few
states had laws protecting non-game
birds, but in' 1905 the number had in
creased to 34. Such a law was passed in
Oregon in 1902. Had it not been for tho
passage of such laws, some of the song
birds and others of brilliant plumage,
such as the snowy herons, terns and
gulls, would by this time have been all
but exterminated by tho slaughter for
millinery purposes.
The National Association of Audubon
Societies is the .parent of the state or
ganizations and now has an endowment
of J250.000 to carry on the work of bird
and animal protection in various parts
of the United States. Through the efforts
of the Oregon Audubon Society, of which
ftlr. Finley is president, considerable time
and money has been expended to protect
the great colonies of sea birds on the
coast of Oregon, and arrangements are
now being made to give better protection
to the great colonies of inland water
l.lrds that live in the lake region of
Southern Oregon.
Few people realize that this region is
the greatest breeding ground on the Pa
cific Coast for all kinds of water birds
and here there is the mast urgent need
for protection.' Until recently, this was
the greatest field in the West for the
market hunter. In one shooting season.
I'M tons of ducks were slaughtered and
shipped from one locality. Thousands of
Krehes. terns and other birds were killed
in their colonies on these lakes to furnish
plumage for the millinery market.
The killing of these birds was not the
worst feature. The birds come together
in colonies to nest and rear their young.
These are the places the plume hunters
seek In the early Summer. They slaugh
ter the parent birds for the wing and tall
feathers or tear the plumage from their
breasts, leaving untold numbers of the
young to die in the nest of starvation.
The report xf the Oregon Audubon As
sociation on these conditions as they ex
isted in Klamath County was made lapt
year for the National Association after
Ir. Finley and Mr. Bohlman had spent
two months cruising about these lakes
and studying conditions. Through the ef
forts of the Audubon Society, the slaugh
ter of these water birds has been checked
to a large degree and effort will be
made this year to assist the local game
warden to stop the killing entirely.
While in the East, Mr. Finley attended
the congress of the American Ornitholo
gists' Union at Washington. Here he
gave" two lectures on the life history of
the California condor, and showed a large
series of photographs that were secured
in Southern California last Spring. These
two Oregon naturalists spent four months
in studying and photographing a pair of
these birds in one of the wildest
of mountain regions. As this Is
the largest and one of the rarest birds
that flies and as little has been known of
it up to the present time, their work has
attracted attention of the entire scien
tific world.
William Brewster, perhaps the greatest
living American ornithologist. C. Hart
Merrlam, Chief of the Biological Survey,
and others said that the results that
were accomplished by Mr. Finley and
Mr. Bohlman in the face of so many dif
ficulties were remarkable and that the
pictures that were taken were the best
and most artistic ever secured.
HORSE SHOW ETHICS.
Why Can't Portland Have an Exhibit
Worthy of the City?
SEATTLE, Wash.. Deo. 10. CTo the Edi
tor.) With refetence to the editorial In last
Tuesday's Oregonian regarding tho Seattle
horse show, permit the writer to state, that
he came here lor tue express purpose oi
witnessing this show.
For the past 27 years I have been a resi
dent of Portland and have devoted a good
part of my life to horses. I am a Portlander
heart and soul and loyal to our splendid
city but let me assure you that Portland
never could produce such a wonderful dis
play of horses and turnouts as those exhibited
In Seattle. First of all it was conducted in
an exceptional manner, the crowds were of
the "best." and that is saying a great deal
for Seattle, for they really have good so
ciety hero. Then there is not a single turn
out in Portland on a par with less than a
hundred exhibited here. With the exception
of the horse shows that I have witnessed in
New York City, I have never seen the equal
of a horse show anywhere to in any manner
compare with the one in this city.
Take all of Portland's "best people" and
the many others of equal repute. What have
they? Vehicles and horses that are moss
backy and wehfeety to the limit.
As far as snobbery at the horse show
referred to was concerned. It proved to be
only a case of some one butting In who had
no right to from any standpoint. He knew
of this and was promptly and properly
snubbed.
It would no more be possible to get up a
horse show in Portland than in Alblna or
Kstac-ada.
AN OLD-TIME LOVER OF HORSES.
Bailey Criticises Slover's "Foem."
Captain of Police Slover, during a lull
In activities, wrote a "poem" one day
this week, a copy of which fell into tho
hands of Ciptaln Bailey, of the second
relief. Bailey did not know that Slover
was the author of the "poem," and con
sequently when he called the roll at head
quarters at 11:13 Wednesday night he
addressed his men on the subject, in
Blover's presence, after reading: the
verses, as follows:
"This crime has been committed by
soma person unknown to me, and it is
up to the members of the. secondrellef
of police to solve the mystery. It Is one
of the worst cases I have had called
to my attenti for years and demands
prompt action ii" the perpetrator is to
tie made known antl placed in Ids proper
light before the world. I shall not be
satisfied until this relief unravels this
dastardly affair and proves that it is
