Washington, D. C, Oct 29.
Word has reached the national cap
ital that the fish and wildlife ser
vice has not heard the last of tha
much disputed question of owner
ship of Lake Malheur in Harney
county. For nearly 40 years the
question of ownership of the lake
bed has been in dispute and the
matter has been in court several
times. The lake is now used by the
federal government as one of the
largest and most successful wild
fowl refugees in the nation. Around
it is more than 50 miles of fence.
Attorneys for ranchers owning
property adjoinnig the lake con
tend that the last court decision in
the matter said the lake bed be
longed to the adjoining property.
Representatives of the wild life
service (recently transferred from
Washington to Chicago) contend
that no court opinion made any at
tempt to apportion the lands among
the individual owners or to deter
mine the extent of privately owned
lands within the bed of the lake,
and hence they were not in position
to pay for the disputed lake bed
since the question of legal owner
ship had not been settled to the
point where legal payment could be
made.
Ranchers contend that before the
famous wildfowl lake was divided
by a dike they were able to cut a
large amount of hay adjoining the
lake in normal seasons and that,
therefore, the land was most valu
able to them. The federal govern
ment has been interested in the
lake as a migratory bird refuge
since 1908.
While practically all foodstuffs
with the exception of fresh fruits
vegetables, fresh fish and peanuts
are new under price regulation, the
emergency regulation exempts from
price control sales made by farm
ers direct to consumers where these
sales were less than $75 in the
preceding calendar month.
Prices were frozen at the high
eft levels of the five days from

ceilings. Before the permanent ceil
ings have been declared growers,
processers, wholesalers and retail
ers of the various food products
affected will have a chance to be
heard through a series of confer
ences.
Potatoes, dry , onions and citrus
fruits are not included among the
seasonal crops exempted from the
price freeze.
Vacation and pleasure resort ow
ners with heavy mortgages on their
real estate and no business, may
be able to save their property from
foreclosure through the aid of RFC
if the bill introduced in July by
Senator McNary and just reported
favorably by the senate banking
and currency committee gets
sreedy action. This bill will allow
RFC to loan up to 75 percent of
the appraised value of the property
to resort owners to retire existing
mortgages where the resorts have
lost more than 50 percent of their
normal business" by virtue of de
creased motor travel due to gas ra
tioning, and where this travel is not
replaced by common carrier ser
vice. The RFC loans will bear only
three percent interest and neither
interest or principal will be due
until two years after the expiration
of the "unlimited national emer
gency." Fairly early acion may be ex
pected on the bill in the senate and
the legislation should find plenty of
champions in the house.
