Meeting' In Portland Declared to Have Resulted in Settlement Satisfactory to Both Sides. BT WILLIAM L. FIXLEY. I related in my first article the facts leading up to Theodore Roose velt's proclamation establishing Mal heur lake as a federal wild bird reservation.' his reasons for creating the reservation and showed that this is the greatest living monument to a man who "taught and practiced clean, straight sportsmanship with a power that caused thousands of men afield to walk in straighter paths." During the last 15 years I have tried to make a thorough and honest etudy of the conservation of wild bird and animal life in Oregon. I have seen ponds and marshes drained and spots where wild life was abun dant give way under the ax and plow. Some cases were matters of development and could not be rightly opposed even by a. lover of the out-of-doors. Bird Decrnie Noted. In the very nature of things, with the fencing of the prairies, the buf falo of the plains had to give way. Yet there- are certain wild spots in the vast extent of our country that we can spare to prevent the exter mination of such a species; for in stance, Yellowstone park or the Uison range in Montana. With the steady settling up o- the country, wild birds have rapidly de creased in the United States. The real cause of lessening numbers is the destruction of breeding places. In the beginning, man had dominion over the fowls of the air, but for his own sake, as well as in fairness to the birds, he must guard against their threatened extermination. They are of economic value to state and nation. The law of the land protects them, but how can they live without homes? Those of us who want to see fair play have found one place in Oregon where all conditions are favorable for the birds and where the least objection can be raised by man. This is Malheur lake in Harney county. From time immemorial this has been the breeding and feeding place for the wild flocks of Oregon. It is on the migration route from Alaska to Central America of the myriads of swan, snow geese and other rare birds that are now at the point of final disappearance. These game birds live on the roots of tules and other aquatic plants which are so abundant here and are cf no use to man. It Is the nursery of countless thousands of nestlings. Meeting: Held in Portland. After years of study and with the policy of give and take, a plan was finally reached where irrigationists, land owners aijd bird lovers came to a mutual understanding and a satis factory agreement in the Roosevelt bird refuge measure to bo voted upon November 2. About the middle of last June several meetings were held in Port land dealing with the Malheur lake matter. The officers of the Koose velt Bird Refuge- association repre sented one side of the question. The other side was represented by Charles Kllis. member of the next state sen ate, and Dr. L. E. Hibbard. both of Burns. These two citizens were sent especially to represent the Hanley interests and the other land owners and irrigationists in the Silvies valley north of Malheur lake. Henry L. Corbett of Portland represented the large holdings to the south, or in the lilhzen valley. The result of these meetings was the present compromise bill to which the officers of the Roosevelt Bird i-eiuso association yielded. it was drawn up to safeguard the land-owning and irrigation interests in Harney county, as specified by the Harney county delegation. There was no disagreement as to he great value of maintaining the bird reservation, as it is under gov ernment control, and the feeling was unanimous that it should never be destroyed. In- this measure ceding Jurisdiction over the waters of the lake to the government is the ex plicit statement written In by the Jiarney delegates to the effect that this is "subject to existing water rights, filings and applications to use. impound or appropriate, water made In conformity with, the water laws of tho state of Oregon." Itranlt Held Agreeable. After this final settlement and agreement, the Herald, one of the two papers at Burns. Or., under date or June iz. 1920. said: "Tho result was most gratifying anu satisfactory, as they (the dele gates) succeeded in having th hill redrafted without the objectionable features. Jt is now satisfactory to the people of this county, who never aid ooject to the reserve, but did object to its Interfering with the development of the country." lhe Harney County News of Burns. Or., under date of June 17. 1920. said in us headlines: "Birds aid Babies Settle." Among other things, the Kruno says: "All is well that ends well .ti lt's all over and both sides are bene fited, etc. Charles V. Kllis. the popular candidate for the state senate" Iroin this district, was delegated to place the just cause of Harney county In a proper light before the sponsors of the bird reservation bill and if possible to get the teeih rtr-r, out. which Mr. Kllis. with the able assistance of Dr. U K. Hibbard. suc- ci-eora m ooing ty compromise, and the bill will go on the ballot in the lonowing rorm and which meets wit the full approbation of tho irriga tionists." In the press of the state at the time was an article that came froi the Burns Commercial club sayin mat tne Harney county people riectea a compromise with the framers of the bill and are now lrlendly to the measure. Taking into consideration the above lacts, does it not seem to any fair minded citizen that there is no real conflict on the Roosevelt bird refuge measure between those people who are seeking the legitimate and hones development of Harney county and those who desire Malheur lake saved pecause of its present and future value to Oregon, and because it is the greatest living memorial to incoaorc Koosevelt? GUN GIVEN FOREST GROVE Howitzer of Spanish War Model Sent by Government. FOREST GROVE, Or., Oct. 19. (Special.) The city of Forest Grove, through efforts of Captain W. J. 'R. Beach, former commander of the department of Oregon G. A. R., is possessor of a big gun, received from the government. It is a howitzer of the model of 1896-98, one of a series of 7-inch guns manufactured for the government and the largest guns which the United States then had. The gun is of the breech-loading type and is mounted on a four wheeled, horse-drawn limber. It is over eight feet long and is a rifled cannon in good condition with spring recoil. It will be properly dedicated on Armistice day, which will be cele brated here under direction of the G. A. R. and American Legion. LINCOLN IS FOR HARDING Xominee Expected to Carry County by From 500 to 7 00 Majority. NEWPORT, Or., Oct. 9. (Special.) Public sentiment here is strongly in favor of Harding and Coolidge and they will carry Lincoln county by majorities estimated at from BOO to 700. There are only three contests for county offices. Henry Howell of Toledo, who for the last 12 years has held the office of county clerk on the republican ticket, is aspiring for the office of county judge. He is opposed by John Fogarty of Newport, who once held this office. William Simpson, democrat, present sheriff, is opposed by H. R. Gwynn, republican, of Toledo. A. G. Schwartz, republican, who has been county assessor the last two terms, is opposed by Edward Stocker of Newport. HUNTER ADMITS KILLING JOHX BAKER CONFESSES TO SHOOTING BALDWIN. Story of "Mysterious Murderer" Is Cleared by Confession of Seattle Man. SEATTLE. Wash., Oct. 19. (Spe cial.) With the confession Monday by John Baker that it was he who fired the fatal shots, mystery sur rounding the death of Wayne Bald win, in the woods near Allyn early Saturday, was cleared and posses that have been searching the country for two days and nights were called in. In an affidavit now in the posses sion of Prosecuting Attorney H. E. Gorman. Baker said that he had ac cidentally killed his friend and hunt ing companion, having mistaken him for a deer. . He admitted that his first story that Baldwin had been mysteri ously slain by a third person, was false, saving that he had made it up on the spur of the moment at a time when, he was in a state- bordering on hysteria. Prosecutor Gorman said that the statement was entirely satisfactory and permitted Baker's release on $500 bail after a charge of manslaughter had been placed against him. In view of these facts, it was said, a coroner's inquest will probably not be held. Baker made his statement to Sher iff Daniel Davis Monday. Davis said Baker first repeated his original sfory that he and Baldwin had sep arated In an effort to find a trail, and that while separated Baldwin had been slain bv a buckshot charge fired by another hunter. He became badly tangled up, however, when the sheriff questioned him, and finally admitted the story was untrue. Baldwin is a son of Mrs. Phoebe Baldwin of Vancouver, Wash., who arrived in Seattle Monday evening. - Coos Circuit Court Opens. MARSHFIELD, Or, Oct. 19.; (Spe cial.)
