ALBANY. Or- April (Special.)
a n-erve for the nronasratlon of wild
birds. Including about 15.UO0 acres and ,
surrounding the capital city of Ore- .
gon. will be established by the new
Board of Game and Fish Commission-
era. created Dy me recrui. "-o,u..
the Oregon Legislature.. This plan
waa announced today by William L.
Flnley. of Jennings Lodge, one of the
members of the new Board.
Mr. Flnley waa In Albany to deliver
an address last night before the Ore
gon Academy of Sciences. On his way
to this city he rode on the same train
with Governor West and the plan,
which haa been under consideration
for some time, was then fully dis
cussed and agreed upon.
The new commission expects to
utilise to the fullest extent that por
tion of tha new game code providing
for the establishment of refuges or
preserves for wild birds and will fol
low the theory of protection by propa
gation and by educatfon rather than
by legislation.- In doing this Mr.
Flnley will carry out a system of pro
tection of which he has long been an
advocate.
Farmers Can Co-operate.
"The law passed at the last Legis
lature providing for the establish
ment of wild bird and game refuges will
go Into effect about May 20." said Mr.
Flnley. "It provides that the Governor
may set aside lands surrounding state
Institutions for game preserves. It
also provides that the state game
warden can enter Into contracts with
farmers and landowners to have their
lands set aside as game reserves.
These lands are to be posted with
notices and no hunting will be per
mitted. The penalty of violation Is not
only a fine but imprisonment In the
County Jail for not more tha.n 30 days.
"When this law goes into effect it
will enable farmers who do not wish
to have people trespassing and shoot
ing on their premises to keep them
out and Its effect will be to give game
birds absolute protection from hunt-
"Tt Is proposed to utilise all the land
of the various state institution, at
Salem for the purpose of propagating
Chinese . pheasant, and other wild
bird., .aid Mr. Flnley. All hunting
on these lands will be absolutely pro
hibited. The land now available for
this purpose Includes 8010 acres as
follows: Asylum. 320 acres: asylum
farm. 1260 acres: tuberculosis farm.
100 acres; Reform School. 320 acres;
Feeble-Minded Institution, 700 acres;
Penitentiary, J20 acres.
Continuous Refuge Planned.
It Is also planned to induce all farm
ers living in the vicinity of these In
stitutions to Join with the Game Com
mission In the project and put their
lands In the reserve, and thus afford
a continuous tract of refuge for wild
birds embracing from 10.000 to 16.000
acres. Putting this land In a game
reserve, explained Mr. Flnley. does
not prevent the owners from using it
for the numose for which It has been
heretofore used or for any ordinary
purpose. I merely prevents hunting
on the premises.
This project Is by far the biggest
step ever taken toward the propaga
tion and protection of game in Oregon.
It Is expected thst thousands of birds
will be raised on these premises and
that In a few years they will spread
all over the Willamette Valley. It Is
the purpose of the Game Commission
to raise birds on these reserves, in ad
dition to protecting those that will
come there, and it will thus save ex
penses by raising birds rather than
buying them from fanciers and then
liberating them.
The Ktato lands furnish an Ideal site
for the project. Mr. Flnley said, not
only because they lie In the center of
the Willamette Valley and are well
situated for distribution of the birds
over a wfae extent of. territory, but
also on account of the streams, groves,
thickets and fields they contain the
proposed reserve lands wil be an Ideal
place for game.
Laws Alone Not Enough.
In discussing the subject "Tho State
and Ita Relation to Game Protection."
before tha Academy of Sciences last
night. Mr. Flnley criticised Oregon's
system of game protection as being
one largely of legislation and not
enough of education and propagation.
"You can never make game abundant
by the strictest system of laws." he
said. "Nor can you get observance of
laws until you work with and In touch
with farmers and landowners. Under
the advance of civilisation the retreats
of wild animals are disappearing and
the breeding placea of birds ar being
destroyed. Thla will continue until
all our blrda and game are gone, un
less there are certain places where
they can breed unmolested.
"The law passed at the last Legis
lature giving the Governor power to
establish wild bird and game refuges
on lands surrounding state institutions
will be of great value In saving wild
birds."
Governor "West has appointed on the
Board of Fish and Game Commission
ers William L. Finley. of Jennings
Lodge: M. J. Kinney, of Portland; C.
-o Af Vlamlth ITallS. and C. 1C
Cranston, of Pendleton. These four
will select a fifth member to complete
the Board. They will also elect a
State Game Warden and Master Fish
Warden and all deputies. They will
have control of all funds for the su-
pervlsion of everything concerning
Bah and game protection.
Forestry Service to Aid.
While tha reserve around the state
Institutions at Salem will be the first
project undertaken by the Board. Mr.
Flnley said that the Board would es
tablish other reserves la various parts
of the state. A big one will be es
tablished near Roseburg on land which
has been offered for the purpose by
J. H. Booth.
Another new stop the Board will
take will be to co-operate with the
state forestry service in the selection
of wardens. Every game warden vtll
be a forestry warden and every for
estry warden a game warden. In this
way. he said, more wardens could be
secured at less expense, and by pay
ing Increased salaries better men could
be Induced to enter this service.
The Board, following the theory of
protection by education rather than
bv legislation, will try to work In con
Junction with farmers and landowners.
Printed matter probably will be sent
out explaining In full -ie purposes of
the Board and enlisting co-operation
In Its work. Every effort will be
made, said Mr. Flnley. to give the new
law a thorough trial and the new
system Is expected to prove far more
beneficial than the old system of mere
legislation against killing the birds.

Building Permits Make Good Show
ing, Considering That Same
Period of Last Year Broke
All Existing Records.
Postofflce receipts and bank clear
ings for April compared with the fig
ures for the corresDonding month last
year show beyond question that there
has been no let-up in Portland's prog
ress. It is a fact to be remembered In
considering all the statistics that there
waa one business day less this month,
there being five Sundays In April this
year and only four last.
The total of bank clearings for the
month closing today Is $49,062,235. com
pared with $48,275,083 for April, 1910.
the advance amounting to about t per
cent. The clearings for the week end
ed yesterday were $11,312,779, as
against $8,938,105, and the figures for
Ssturdav were $1.987,7o. compared
with $l.'l3,900 for the like Saturday in
The bank balances for the montn
showed a slight decline, the figures be
ing: April. 1911. $5,720,235; 1910. $6.
559.973. The latter part of the month,
however, showed a distinct advance In
bank balances, and the figures for the
last week of the month follow: April,
1911. $1,877,339; 1910, $1,362,292. The
balances for Saturday were $376,388,
compared with $245,755 for the corre
sponding Saturday a year ago.
Sales of Stamps Larger.
Postofflce receipts for April from the
sale of stamps will show at least 13
per cent increase over the volume of
business for the corresponding month
last year. Indicating that the business
for the second quarter of this year will
maintain the lead established for the
first three months of 1911. The esti
mated receipts are given at $81,026,
compared with $71,260.76 for the same
month last year.
At the present rate of business, the
dally receipts average about $3000. Had
there been as many working days this
April as there were a year ago, the to
tal receipts would have been swelled
hv at least $3000. Taking this into con
sideration. Postmaster Merrick declares
the record for the month Is unusually
good and Is a criterion of the rapid
growth of the city.
There was a moderate ( decline In
building permits, amounting to about
$200,000. or 10 per cent. It should be
taken Into .consideration, however, that
Anrll last' year broke all monthly rec
ords for new construction up to that
time since the office of Building In
spector was created. The total for
April this year reached $1,811,640, which
has been excelled In a single month
only three times in the history of the
citv. One of these three was April,
1910. when the total reached $2,014,772.
Building Permits Numerous.
One hundred and fifty-two permits
for new construction, amounting to
$738,440. were taken out last week.
Yesterday was the banner day, with a
total of $539,250. The Lincoln tugn
School permit was taken out yesterday,
and as tills building will cost $500,000,
the permit gave a good Increase to the
monthlv fieurea. The Lincoln High
School is to be the finest school yet
built in Portland, and will cover tne
entire block between Market. Mill. Sev
enth and Park streets. Excavation of
the basement has been completed and
the foundation is being built. Steel for
the superstructure Is now on the way
from the East and the building will be
completed this year.
Real estate transfers for April
showed a very slight falling off from
the corresponding month of 1910. The
figures are: April. 1911. 1659 transfers,
value $2,774,444: April, 1910. 2017 trans
fers, value $2,975,068. The loss was
about $200,000. or 7 per cent.

CHILD TASTES ARSENIC
Mother Arrives Just In Time to
Rescue 1 3-Months-OId Babe.
CKNTRALIA, Wash.. April 29. (Spe
cial.) Greeted by a joyous "goo-goo"
of welcome by her 13-months-old son,
Ralph, on her return from a shopping
trip. Mrs. Ralph V. Smith, the wife of
a mechanic of this city, was horrified
to find the child in possession of a bot
tle of Fowler's solution of arsenic
with the uncorked end perilously near
his lips. Closer Investigation showed
that the pleasant smell and taste of
the solution and tempted the baby to
test its contents and he was apparent
ly in course of swallowing the rest of
the fluid when his mother arrived.
Prompt treatment saved the child.

FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE
We need a change in the meth
od of administering justice in our
Municipal Court. Its proceed
ings should be conducted with
promptness, seriousness and dig
nity, so that those who are
brought before it may feel j.hat
they are actually in a court of
justice, where their rights and
liberties are being seriously and
honestly considered. I pledge my
self to such a change, and prom
ise that, if elected, I will admin
ister justice promptly, efficiently
and honestly, without fear or fa
vor, and with the sole purpose of
performing my duty under the'
oath of office.
