MEASURE BEFORE VOTERS
Extreme Commercallisra Is Disfa
vored and Colony Held Great -Adjunct
to the State.
BY -WILLIAM L. FINLET.
In the issue of The Oregonian for
October 13 Addison Bennett started a
series of articles dealing: with the
Roosevelt Bird Refuge Measure."
The sponsors of this measure, who
are well-known people Jn various
parts of the state, feel that Mr. Ben
nett has looked largely through the
eyes of. certain people in Harney
county who wish to defeat this bill,
and he has colored his material from
the viewpoint of extreme commercial
ism. The vital point of difference be
tween Mr. Bennett's opinion of the
measure and our opinion is, there are
certain things in Oregon too valuable
to be attacked by a" plow or an ax.
Since I have always been opposed to
an extreme commercialism viewpoint,
I have been asked to present the other
side of the Roosevelt bird refuge
issue, or as some of our opponents
have put it, the viewpoint of a lover
of the out-of-doors, who wishes to
see Oregon utilize and develop her
out-of-door resources.
titrnne Commercialism Disfavored.
In the beginning, I want to state
emphatically that I stand with all
those citizens in Oregon who believe
In the cultivation of the soil, the
building of homes and factories and
the full development of the state. .At
the same time, 1 believe this citizen
ship is largely in favor of not follow
ing commercialism to the extreme. I
think it will be conceded that the
voters of Oregon would not counte
nance plowing the lawns or cutting
the shade trees around the state
house at Salem for the purpose of
crowing potatoes or erecting office
buildings, even though the rental
might bring a large sum of money
Into the general fund of the state,
nor would the voters agree to the
building of a factory at the foot of
Multnomah falls to utilize its water
power, even though it would produce
a large income.
That tile citizens of Oregon may
have information concerning another
side of this measure which may as
sist them in casting their ballots for
the best interests of the state, I want
to show, first, that in money value
Malheur Lake is worth a great deal
to Oregon as the most unique feature
cf Its kind in North America; sec
ond, that Malheur Lake reservation
today is the greatest living monu
ment in the world to Its creator.
Theodore Roosevelt; third, that it can
be capitalized to the extent of mil
lions of dollars in the same way that
Crater Lake and the Columbia River
highway can be capitalized; fourth,
that the promotion plan to drain any
part of this lake or destroy It, and in
turn, exterminate countless thousands
of Oregon birds by the destruction of
their breeding and feeding places,
even with the attempted purpose to
sell part of this land and add to the
state school fund, would be a crime
that the children of Oregon would
never forget; it would be selling their
birthright for a mess of pottage.
Karly Malheur History Told.
I first became Interested in Mal
heur Lake and some of the other al
kaline lakes in southern Oregon
about 20 years ago, because plume
hunters were annually destroying
hundreds of thousands of our highly
plumaged birds during the nesting
season, and shipping the feathers to
the milliners of New York and Paris.
To get concrete information, Her
man T. Bohlman and 1, both of this
city, spent the entire summer of 1905
cruising the vast marshes of the
Vpper and Lower Klamath lakes and
Tule or Rhett lake. From that time
on I have made many trips during the
past 15 years, through all the marsh
and lake country lying In Klamath,
Lake and Harney counties. These in
vestigations have not been by merely
riding through the country, but by
camping and tramping and paddling
day after day, week after week, in
crdor to get thoroughly acquainted
with this vast region and know some
thing of ltd bird, animal and plant
life, as well as conditions of soil and
climate.
Early in the summer of 1908 Mr.
Bohlman and I started for Burns in
his machine, camping along the way.
From Burns we struck couth over
Wright's Point and then through sand
and sage. We did not know enough
at the time to take a shovel, so in
places we used the wash bnain to dig
sand, and we cut sage to make a road.
Nor did we know enough to take
plenty of warm clothing, forgetting
that this Is a land much higher in
altitude than the Willamette valley.
We found the weather not like west
ern Oregon, adapted for diversified
farming, as some people think, be
cause Harney valley is a good deal
higher in altitude. The last of May
and the first of June, 1904, happened
to be very stormy; June 2. 1908. my
notes read "cold and snowing."
Harney county Is one of the great
atstock raising countries In the
west. It Is a main resource. With
the good -roads it now has. and with
their future improvement I believe
Harney county will eventually de
velop its game resources and cap
italize them Just as stock raising is
now capitalized.
I shall never forget the feeling as
we started o in this vast flat area
on our voyage of investigation. We
had a folding canvas boat belonging
to Dr. L. E. Hibbard of Burns. We
found the lake hidden from the shore
1 by vast tuie marshes until we reached
the east end, here was a wide, white
alkali flat stretching out to a rim
of water. We shouldered the boat,
waded for half a mile in the slippery
mud and water, but it was too shal
low to float a boat. We turned back
and kept on going for miles to the
west until we finally reached the
walls of the old sod house on the
south side of Malheur, near the resi
dence of Alva Springer.
Here we launched the boat in a
small stream that winds out through
the swamp land. After a mile we
came to the tule marsh; thousands
of floating islands between which
flow narrow channels that are end
less in their windings. These tules
grew from eight to ten feet high,
so that when one entered the mass
he had no landmark, unless per
chance he can read signs in the
heavens above. We carried our pro
visions with us, and a supply of
drinking water because we found
that we could not drink fie alkali
water of the lake. For four weeks
we cruised all parts of the lake, often
sleeping on muskrat houses or float-J
ing tule islands, taking our chances
of getting up in the morning before
our beds had sunk to water level.
Largest American Bird Nonery,
On all sides were the bird myriads.
I have seen great bird colonies, but
here are the greatest of all. a wild
nursery most unlauo In the natural
history of North America. There Is
nothing like It west of any place eatit;
the whole marsh was white with the
nesting multitudes. I looked out in
one part of the lake and by actual
count saw over 1500 Canadian geese
In small and large flocks. On all
sides were the ducks, mallards, red
heads, pintails, gadwalls, cinnamon
teal and ruddy ducks, mothers with
their broods of ducklings kept ahead
of the boat. We saw colonies of Cal
ifornia and ring-billed gulls, night
herons and great blue herons. Par
ralone cormorants, white pelicans and
three species of grebes.
In different places we saw the bit
terns and the rails, alBO avocets,
stilts, phalaropes, anipe, kildeers and
other waders. Here about Malheur
lake Is the only place I know of in
Oregon where the American .egret or j
white heron and the glossy ibis, our
most beautifully plumaged birds, are
nesting. On all fides we listened to
the eongs of the yellow-throated war
blers, song sparrows, tule wrens and
otherB.
This Is the greatest museum of liv
ing birds in the land. It Is of such
educational value that the American
Museum of Natural History in New
York, the Denver museum and other
educational institutions in the United
States have reproduced oun bird life
to educate children about Oregon.
To save Malheur lake for future
generations of children of Oregon
and of the United States, Theodore
Roosevelt Immediately issued a spe
cial executive proclamation creating
it a federal wild bird reservation, on
August 18, 1908.
Roosevelt Pleased At Memorial.
His reasons for saving Malheur
lake were:
First With the rapid settlement of
the country, the drainage of marshes
and lakes, vast nesting places of the
wild flocks were destroyed; wild
birds were rapidly disappearing.
Second Wild birds belong to the
people as a whole; they are an eco
nomic necessity to the nation as in
sect destroyers; they are protected by
state and federal laws. They cannot
live without homes
Third Malheur lake is without
question the greatest wild fowl nur
sery in the United States.
A few years later when I was In
the Outlook office in New Tork talk
ing with Mr. Roosevelt, he wanted
to know in detail of the wonders of
Malheur lake. "It will be one of the
greatest memorials to your far-sightedness
when both you and I are gone
I said. He leaned over in his charac
teristic way "Bully! I had rather
have it than a hundred stone monu
ments!" he said.
The question is fairly before the
people of Oregon. Do you want to
save Malheur lake and honor your
selves and Theodore Roosevelt with
the greatest living memorial, or not?
Do you want to save one of the most
unique features of Oregon, one that
can be capitalized to the extent of
millions of dollars?

Eastern Oregon Solid In Support of
Republican Ticket, Says
Julian A. Hurley.
"Importation duty-free from South
America and Australia of hides has
sent prices in this country lower than
they have been In many years and is
costing stockmen in eastern Oregon
a lot of money. This is Just another
Instance of the evil effects of the
democratic Underwood tariff bill In
eastern Oregon and another reason
why voters of that section will roll
up a huge vote for Harding for pres
ident and Stanfleld for United States
senator." declared Julian A. Hurley
of Vale, who was In Portland yes
terday from Marshfleld, where he at
tended the Knights of Pythias con
clave. Mr. Hurley Is state senator from
his district and past grand chancellor
of the Knights of Pythias.
"The slogan, 'Back up a repub
lican president with a republican sen
ate," is full of meaning in our sec
tion," he continued. "It means, to
state It plainly, that unless Mr. Hard
ing is backed up by a senate strongly
under republican control, which will
give us a protective tariff on our
wheat, our cattle, our wool, our hides
and other products, we will have very
slim pickings for the next few years.
A democratic senate would make a
protective tariff impossible, and
without a tariff eastern Oregon pro
ducers face ruin. They simply can
not produce cattle, wheat, wool and
hides in competition' with foreign
producers."
