Before the bill was reported out of j the committee, State Biologist Fin- ley rushed in with an amendment. His new Idea was to ask Malheur Lake be excluded from the provis ions of the Thompson Act in connec tion with the drainage of swamps. The amendment withdrew other features of the bill thought objec- regulating the height of water. Despite these changes, it was con sidered inadvisable to pass the bill, and the fight against It continued.
