THE PINLEY
SOALK bail fishermen at Ashland last week forwarded
to Governor West a communication approving tho
supposed romoval of "William . Kinloy from tho office of
stato game wardon. Tho otnratiilations woro proinaturo.
as no chanj;o has heon niado in tho ot't'ioo.
Ashland has in its present game wardon ono of tho
most vigilant, faithful and ot't'ioiont wardons in tho stato,
so that no local complaint oan ho roistered on tho ques
tion of iramc nrotootion. 'Tho last two yoai havo wit
nessed more trout ilantod in
part rallies and pheasants liberated on Asniatui raueites.
voluntoorod as game reserves, than in tho valley's history
so there oan he no complaint on tho ground of local fish
and game propagation.
The protest against Air. Finloy reads as follews:
"It la our opinion that Mr. Finloy has done more damogo nnd Injury to
the fish and gnmo Interests than he has done good, nnd wo Jiopo thnt In
selecting his successor It will bo some one thnt will do more work in tho
Interests of the sportsmen and less for tho Audubon society. Wo us sports
men of the state of Oregon bcllcvo In letting the sportsmen of tho stnto
hnndlc the fish nnd game question nnd do protest against people In the ex
treme eastern part of the Fulled States, namely the Audubon society, fram
ing our game nnd fish laws and dictating to the sportsmen or the stnto."
The reason Air. Finloy is objectionable to this small
coterie is because he refused, after investigation, to inter
fere in the discharge by his chief deputy of a warden who
defied orders of his superior. This warden had boon ap
pointed at the instance of the petition peddlers, who are
themselves tho sportsman they desire to see handle the
fish and game interests.
Air. Finloy is a naturalist and ornithologist of national
repute. J lis policy has been the broad ono of protecting
not only game birds and animals, but those feathered song
sters that are invaluable in the destruction of crop pests,
birds that arc threatened with extermination. 13elieving
that it was necessary and essential to secure the co-operation
of the people generally to make game laws effective,
he has conducted a statewide campaign of education by
lectures, newspaper and magazine articles and through the
schools to secure it.
M"r. Finloy lias devoted much time to irouairatiou.
knowing that every locality thus interested became equally
interested in protection, lie realized that diffusing a
knowledge of and creating an interest in birds and ani
mals, even among children, went far towards their protec
tion. His efforts have been to thus lessen police duty
through tin aroused public sentiment that would not toler
ate violations and in th(. brief time he has had, has
secured wonderful results. The game interests of Oregon
have not suffered under Air. Pinley's regime, but have
benefited materially thereby.
The Audubon society, wliieh is nation-wide in its mem
bership, was organized primarily to protect non-game and
songibirds threatened vjth extinction. He is a sorry
sportsman who finds faultwith its commendable purpose.
