Newspaper Page Text12 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1920 ENGINEERS OPPOSE BIRD REFUGE BILL PROBLEM President of Oregon State Chapter Gives Reasons. ECONOMIC LOSS FORECAST Harney County and Incidentally Portland Would Be Handicapped by Lav, Says Laurgaard. Opposition to the passage of the Roosevelt bird refu&e measure, to be Toted on at the coming1 election, was voiced by O. Laurjraard. city engineer end president of the Oregon chapter, American Association of Engineers, in a statement Issued yesterday. - Mr. Laurgaard declared that the measure, if enacted into law, would work an injustice on the residents and community of Harney county and eastern Oregon, and would mean an economic loss to the state. "Malheur lake has already been set aside as a reserve by President Roose velt on August 13, 1908, for the pro tection of native birds by the with drawal from entry of such open lands as may border on the lake; and the lands embraced by the lake are to a large degree owned and controlled by the state of Oregon," said Mr. Laur gaard. "Should the lake, i however, completely dry up or become alkali to some extent, on account of the ap propriation and use of the waters from Silvies and Blltzen rivers by ir rigation (which might possibly hap pen), it would be very advisable to drain the 47,000 acres contained in the lake, sell the lands and revert the proceeds from such sale to the state school fund. "The Interest alone on the sale price ef the lands may easily approach $20,000 annually, while the increased value of the lands which would be improved by raising alfalfa or other forage crops could easily reach J6, 000,000. "The growth and continued pros perity of the city of Portland is de pendent to a large degree on the de velopment of the agricultural re sources of the state, especially of eastern and central Oregon, by in tense cultivation caused by irrigation and drainage. The citizens of Port land, therefore, should assist Harney couikty in the defeat of this measure, especially as it ultimately will de crease their own taxes as well as as sist in the development of Harney county. "At the present time the Malheur lake lands are under the control of the state land board, consisting of the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer. These officers are all op posed to the bird reserve measure and have passed a resolution against the tame. Similarly the last legis lature refused to pass the bird reserve measure after full discussion, not only In committees but before both houses. "The Oregon Chapter of the Ameri can association of engineers, repre senting over 1100 civil, mechanical, mining, electrical and other engineers throughout the state, have gone on record against the measure. Their committee made a complete investiga tion of all phases of the subject and rendered a unanimous report against the measure after having viewed con ditions carefully on the ground; for the reasons, that: 1. The measure cedes the waters of Malheur lake to the government and thus creates uncertain concurrent jurisdiction of water right. 2. It cedes 4T.OO0 acres of land, much of which U state land, to the government, the proceeds of which, in case of sale, should revert to the mate school fund. 3. It will add 47.000 acres of non-taxable reservea (which could be put to beneficial use) to the already large area (about 20 pir cent) of reserves la the elate of Oregon. 4- It will tend to discourage develop ment by irrigation, drainage, roads, rail road construction and general develop ment in Harney county and eastern Ore gon. f 5. It will prevent the vtate, govern ment, or both, from controlling the water level in Alalheur lake or any part of it which can beat be accomplished by Irri gation and drainage carried on simultan eously. B. Uncertainty exlnta as to the legal title to the bed of Malheur lake. There fore, until this haj, been definitely de termined, the transfer of the state lands ahould be deferred. 7. The lands are now controlled by the state land board, which should be en true ted to handle them for the best in terests of the state. ) T far one of the largest and most j I attractive events or the year was tne ball given last night at the Multnomah hotel with Afifi and the Vancouver Shrine club - members as hosts. The imperial potentate, Ellis Lewis Garretson, with Mrs.. Garret son, made an impressive picture at the head of the brilliant social cere monial, the grand march. Handsome gowns were worn by the women who attended and they represented the leading familii.3 of the community in i which the good men of the household are affiliated with the Shrine. Many were known visitors and the list would have made a "Who's Who" of Shrinedom. , Noble John Dickson - was general chairman and to his leadership in ar ranging details much credit is due. The atmosphere of good will that prevailed may have been attributed to the good fellowship and social friendliness of the Shriners and their handsome partners or to the clever and able floor committee, including A. M. Oliver, R. S. Farrell. G. "W. Mettler, A. T. Bonney, C. B. Williams, Phil Keu, W. L. J. Davis, Herman von Borstel, N. W. Rice, H. Crass, K. C. Wager, O. M. Hidden, R. M. Back, W. J.

PLANS WELL UNDER WAY Better Marketing System for West ern Lumber Held Assured; Lower Freight Rate Is Possible. Further developments In the plans announced some time ago in which relief for the critical lumber situation in the northwest are predicted through the building of a lumber dis tributing terminal in New Tork, known as the Fulton terminal, and the establishment of a steamship line operating direct from Portland and other northwest ports to New Tork, are noted in a letter received by George Quayle, secretary of the Ore gon state chamber of commerce. The letter, from E. R. Shaw of the Fulton Lumber Terminal company of New York, said that plans were being perfected for the transportation of lumber from Pacific coast ports to the eastern' lumber terminal and that it was hoped to establish a rate of $15 a thousand feet board measure, with the possibility of reductions as . ton nage increases. "With such a rate. Pacific coast lumbermen should be able successfully to compete with southern mills," said the letter, "and from our lumber ter minal distribute to all points in the New England and North Atlantic states. If we receive the right kind of encouragement there is no reason why we should not be In a position to handle lumber through our ter minal beginning next spring." Terminal Commodious One. The Fulton terminal, which Is actu ally under construction. Is located on the Jersey side of Greater New York Just across the Hudson river from Manhattan island, extending from Thirty-second to Eighty-first streets ahd comprising more than S00 acres of land in a solid body. It is near the first of the vehicular tunnels under the Hudson river connecting Manhat tan island with Jersey City, upon which construction was begun re cently. It is expected that this tunnel, which will accommodate . four auto trucks abreast, will greatly Increase the terminal facilities of the port. A number of trunk lines serving New York from the northwest and south cross the terminal property at present and will be connected with a belt line railway, according to the plans, and ample deep water frontage on the property will permit both rail and water shipping. On the property will be located distributing yards, and for the smaller lumbermen on the coast arrangements are being made to receive lumber on consignment and dispose of It on a commission basis. Various Plants Planned. A manufacturing plant, box factory and planing mill, and every facility for working the lumber to the best advantage, will be located on the ground, according to the plans, and when the project is on an efficient working basis it is believed that ter minal facilities can be established at Pacific coast points for the purpose of receiving lumber In car lots to be shipped via water to New York and disposed of by consignment or through a Pacific coast organization. The steamship line for the' carry ing of the lumber will be Inaugurated by the International Charterers' cor poration of New York, which is backed by some of the largest busi ness and' banking interests of the east, together with some of the larger financial 'interests of Great Britain and Norway, according to Senator Thomle of Everett, Wash, who was largely instrumental in establishing the N-wegian line of steamers now operating out of Everett. Mlllmen See Relief. Inasmuch as the present freight rate from Portland to the Atlantic seaboard, ranges from approximately $24 a thousand on dry lumber to $33 a thousand on green lumber, it is felt by local lumbermen that a water rate of J15 with the establishment of -a distributing terminal in the east would go far toward relieving the general lumber situation on the Pa cific coast. The letter announces that Senator Thomle will return west in about two weeks. Thomle has announced his in tention of laying his plans before local representatives of lumber and shipping Interests with a view to fu ture co-operation, In the completed project.

All members of the grade teachers' association, were urged to take an active interest in civic affairs yes terday by Mrs. Jennie Richardson, president, at a meeting of the repre sentatives of each school in the city. Sample ballots were distributed yes terday for the teachers to study. The tenure question was lightly passed over, since Mrs. Richardson said that nothing definite had de veloped and that it would be neces sary to await definite action by the board and superintendent first. The best way of receiving payment, whether in ten or 12 month payments, was discussed. The majority seemed to favor the ten morfths' basis.
