Flood Control
Caution Urged
Finley Advises Studying
of Factors Before
Damming River
A strong plea for careful study
Into all angles ot derelopment of
natural resources. and especially
caution In construction of dams
for flood control In the Willam
ette valley was voiced by William
L. Finley,!' Portland; nationally
known naturalist, writer and lec
turer, in his luncheon address at
the chamber ot commerce yester
day, -a :--r-::: iS-.fyt
Finley expressed personal objec
tions to seren high dams on the
upper Willamette river because, he
said, as the water Is let out for
flood control it will kill everything
'and turn the areas at the north
and south forks of the Santlam
and the McKenxle Into a blolof leal
desert - .- - i.U-
The naturalist also recommend'
ed further study Into all sides of
the matter before further develop
ment of power is ordered In the
Columbia.
Pointing to land and water as
the basis of wealth in the Pacific
northwest, and conservation of the
use but not the misuse of these.
Vlnley asked, though not critical
ty, whether conservation today is
going forward In the right way.
Each year 100,009 acres of for
est land are ased and destroyed.
thereby helping; to rob the country-
of the "mother of its water sup-
sly. The fault herein lies' not
entirely with Ue owners but also
In lack of regulation as far as tax
es are concerned. "
. . Drainage Dancers Cited
In connection with the drainage
ot swamps, ponds and lakes, par-
. ticularly in the northern part ot
' the United States, Finley said this
not only hindered waterfowl, fur
bearing animal and fish life in
these areas, bat filling of the
drained areas lowered the water
table SO to 75 feet and turned vast
areas into dust bowls.' Today the
i government is spending millions of
dollars to right hsvoc this drain'
age practice brought.'
rinley discussed uses of rivers,
other than power, touching upon
the public values for irrigation,
transportation, pure drinking wa
ter and recreational purposes and
again stressed the necessity of pay
ing attention to an angles rather
than to just the immediate pur
pose for which rivers are to . be
sed.-V ' , , -: - '
He urged against! stream pollu
tlon as destructive of fish life, and
.the same with irrigation and pow
er. Transportation pn inland we-
terdsys is much more . expensive
than by land, Finley said, and as
one point in mma saia tne nuge
expenditure la deepening the chan
nel of the Missouri river from St
.Louis to Kansas City actually
meant a cost of between $3000 and
SO 00 a ton to move freight.

10,000 Die
SHANGHAI, May l.-CAVJap-
anese dispatches from a secret air
base in central China said today
that during three days of constant
air-raiding 200 Japanese aircraft
had dropped 1,500 .bombs and
caused 10,000 Chinese casualties.
The advices said the attacks oc
curred In the vicinity ot the Han
river, west ot Hankow, where the
invaders are trying to revive a
westward push after having been
checked for weeks by Chinese re
sistance.
This resistance has prevented
the Japanese from crossing the
Han in preparation for an attack
on Ichang, important Yangtze riv
er port about 80 miles west of the
Elan and 17S miles due west of
Hankow.
It was believed generally that if
the Japanese take Ichang they will
begin the long-threatened air raids
on Chungking, the provisional Chi
nese capital lying S00 miles far
ther inland.
