(Portland Journal of April 16.)
If you mention the Malheur lake
bird reserve to residents of Hums
and surrounding country, they "hit
the celling," so to speak.
When you pass along the borders
of the lake and see thousands of
(lucks and other water fowl feeding
and nesting by the shores, you un
derstand why Mr. Finley and his
friends want the lake retained as a
bird reserve.
When, .on the other hand, you hear
a Burnslte talk about the Silvies
Kiver irrigation project, you as read
ily understand why the people around
there are almost solidly for irrigated
i ;rms first and birds afterward.
The Silvies Hlver reclamation pro
ject contemplates the conversion of
145,000 acres of sagebrush laud Into
alfalfa farms Residents insist that
alfalfa there yields six tons per acre.
A hundred and forty-flveythousand
a res of additional alfalfa laud would
enormously increase the resources for
feeding live stock through the long
winters, and very heavily increase the
flocks and herds that can be kept
on the surrounding ranges, stretch
ing away 80 miles to Idaho on the
Baal and to Nevada 100 miles to the
t-outh.
The Silvies flows Into Malheur lake
"om the north. Thirty miles north
of Burns is Silvies valley, surrounded
by mountain ranges and drawing to
gether to a narrow neck ut the south
end, where the Silvies river pa.ises out
' in the level Harney plains, which
it is proposed to irrigate. This nar
row neck is an extraordinarily favor
able site for a dam by which to im
pound the waters of the river and
afford means of irrigation of the
Kind after it has been warmed by the
c; ring sun, giving alfalfa the heart
ening moisture with which to take
on swift luxuriant growth. The
Burns people are quick to tell you
thai tehy want this power of produc
tion added to their resources and to
their ability to gain a living, and,
when one thinks it over, it is hard to
find a way to blame them for it. As
they express it, "it is more vital to
a to have something with which to
feed our babies than to feed the game
1 irds."
The rot of tho controversy Is this:
'i he impounding of tho waters of the
Silvies river and their diversion to
irrigation will deprive Malheur lake
of one source of its water supply.
The bird lovers urge that It may
ause the whole body of water to
disappear. Residents admit that it
will likely lower the lake waters but
say that the IJJltzen river, which
flows into Malheur lake from the
south, will keep the lake from going
dry.
An elevation of'4000 feet and more
t lakes the winters in the region
long, April 11. when the trophy train
was there, no outside feed was visi
ble, and ranchmen were hauling out
hay and feeding it to their cattle.
When you see stock fed so late In the
seaaon, and when you count along
it"' wgv the oarraasei of catih that
died for lack of feed during tin- Win
ter iou realise what new alfalfa fields
vould mean to that country and are
not surprised that people there are
stronger for irrigation than for bird
reserves.
Two hundred settlers are Interest
ed in the proposed Silvies Kiver recla
mation project, which alao Includes
a part of the Hanley and Pacific
Livestock holdings, and it la said that
the larger holdings will be divided
Into email units If the project la fin
ally developed.

FOOD HKI.W TION KOR HOMK.

The most important daily inci
dent of the housekeeper's routine is
the selection and preparation of food
for her family. It is a tribute to
her Intelligence and industry If her
husband goes out to bis work and
ber children to their school well
nourished and satisfied. In order
to bring this about she must know
something or the proper combination
of foods.
The meals served every day should
contain a proportion of each of the
following groups of foeds:
1. Fruits and vegetables. Those
contain m'neral substances of great
value.
I, Meats and meat substitutes,
such as poultry, fisii, beans, eggH,
milk and cheese. These are the
muscle and tissue building foods
3. Starches, including bread and
cereals of all kinds. Cereals come
nearer to supplying nutrition than
any other class of foods.
4. Sugar, including honey, mo
lasses and other sweets. Sugar sup
piles the body with heat and energy
5. Fats, such as butter and cream
and lard and vegetable fats.
These classes of food are all neces
sary for a well-balanced diet. If
each meal shows its due proportion
of them, the household is on a good
basis of variety and nutrition. The
foods must of course be well cooked
and seasoned and uppetizingly served.
The housewife who carries out
these principles Is doing her duty to
her home and to her country.

, "Kill 'em." That's what the law
ays every land owner, renter, or
overseer must do with the spulrrela
that infeat the land over which he
has dominion. Utiles aaid owner,
etc. "shall proceed and continue In
good faith to exterminate said ground
squirrels," the county court la em
powered at the end of thirty daya to
blre the work done and charge it to
the owner, the land being taken aa a
lien.
The beat way to kill the squirrels
la to feed them polnsoned grain, says
George W. Kable, county agent of
Benton. Since squirrels feed early
in the morning It la beat to scatter
the polnsoned grain late In the even
ing or early in the morning. As
prepared by Benton county the poi
soned barley Is safe to handle but
must be kept away from children and
live stock. It not an effective rat
poison but is sure death to field mice.
Mr. Kable says the polnsoned grain
is best carried In "a flat whiskey
