PAGE Fl'VJB WILD LIFE CHIEF SEES FALLACY OF III Wild Life Destruction More Costly Than Benefits v Promised in Flood Control and Irrigation Projects PORTLAND. Ore., June 39. (p The guardians of America'! wild life reaouroea, encouraged but not con Tlneed by efficiency report on the Bonneville dam ftsh ladders, charged today the government threatened lrreplacable natural value by au thorizing new and vast flood control. Irrigation, power and navigation pro jects. . William L. Flnley of Portland, field naturalist of the American Nature aMoclatlon, asserted that In many western "promotion schemes" no at tention had been paid to the destruc tion of wild life. All Seeking Funds "While many businessmen have In sisted that the government balance Its budget, yet there la some promo tion plan in every district calling for federal funds." Plnley said. "The same business men will fight to get these on the basis that If they do not get the projects, some other locality will. It la considered shrewd business In the less popu lated west to lift money from the taxpayers' pockets because they pay about one-half of one percent for a 20.000,000 project while the east pays about 99 percent." He said past records showed that the farmer "usually goes broke" on Irrigated land because of the high cultivation costs. "The solution of this gamble Isn't the only problem," . Flnley added. "The high dams on these important rivers of the Pacific coast are de stroying fish resources that belong to the public. The promoters are pushing for seven more dams on the Columbia river and seven on tin Willamette river." Transportation Costly He criticized the government's ex penditure of more than $2,000,000,000 on Inland waterways because "such transportation la about 70 years out of date." Flnley said 'In some In stances tbe cost to states would have been cheaper If the freight had been "put In railroad cars and the state had paid the bill." "If plans are carried out for more dams on the Columbia for lnlan.1 waterway transportation, the total cost of. the development will be more than $100,000,000," he declared. "If we take the top figure of thf amount of freight the promoters claim will be moved up and down the Columbia, the actual cost to the taxpayers will be an average -f 650 per ton." Wild life resources trout, salmon, game birds, migratory waterfowl, deer, big game bring greater returns than the utilization of public waters, be said. Flnley estimated California receiv ed $300,000,000 annually from visi tors who came for the "beauty of the snow-capped mountains, primeval forests, picturesque riven, mounts, n camping, angling and hunting." Ore gon's share of the tourist trade, fre quently described as the nation's third largest Industry, was figured about $60,000,000 a year. Although government reports de scribed the success of the salmon TUBE CHANGE ADVISED ' Demonstrating to pretty A si rid Erickion the danger of using worn Inner lubes in new tires this Western Auto salesman reminds her that tire savings effected by purchasing a Western Giant tire during his firm's Mid-Season Sal will practically buy the added safety and economy of new tubes.

Flnley said It was only the "first step." 4 Coulee Dam Barrier "No reference Is made to the 500 foot dam now being constructed at Grand Coulee farther up the Colum bia. Since the engineers have not even considered any attempt to build fish ladders at Grand Coulee, where will the spring run of Chinook sal mon spawn before they die? "The records show that this most valuable run of salmon In the Col umbia haa been going steadily down for the past 30 or 40 years. The main cause for this decrease is tho building of dams on the tributaries under the reclamation service which have not been provided with fish ladders and the destruction of finger ling salmon because of the lack of screened Irrigation ditches." He charged engineering plans to make the big river Into a series of ponds and lakes would end the ftsh runs. "This means the destruction of a $200,000,000 fishing industry." the naturalist said. "It Is a gift of nature v,.ilch brings In $10,000,000 annually to the people of the Pacific north west. These proposed local projects will prove to be destructive national investments.

(Pt Another attempt to scale majestic Mount Everest has ended In defeat some 3,000 leet short of Its 29,141 foot peak. Captain P. R. Oliver, member of the British expedition led by H. W. Til man. arrived here today from the expedition's base near Rongbuk gla cier with word that the effort to scale the world's highest mountain had been abandoned. He reported that the expedition had reached Camp Six, about 27,000 feet above sea level. A letter reaching here more than a week ago said TUman and thrie others were almost carried away by an avalanche. Earlier this month native runners brought word indicating the expedi tion was quitting because of bad weather. The Oilman expedition Is the sev enth to attempt to scale Mount Everest In the last 20 years. No one has ever reached the top. DEAD MAN IS FOUND AT WHEEL OF AUTO MADRAS. June 39.

BLAKKSIXK Associated Press Self nee Editor. LA JOLLA. Calif., June 29. ZAP) If an acre of the top waters of the sea could be strained of Its unseen plant life, the harvest would equal the yield of an acre of land. This clue to the richness of plant life In the sea comes from a study of oxygen consumed In Pacific ocean water off the coast of California. One square meter, 100 meet era deep, produces five pounds of microscop ical planta a year, it has been found by the Scrlpps Institution of Ocean ography here. First Meals These plants, diatoms, dlnoflagel- latea and coccollthophorldaa, prob ably furnished the earth's first meals, when life started In tha waters. This primitive crop is still the only source of food In the sea. All the sea ani mals either feed on It. or on other animals which live on the tiny plants. Kelp and seaweed are a negligible source of food In comparison to the almost invisible surface water crops. The sea crop census Is taken by ob serving the amount of oxygen which disappears In certain layers of wster. The upper layer of water, down to 100 meters deep. Is the ocean's farm lsnd. There, only, la light strong enough for plants to grow. Below the ocean farms are the din ner tables of the sea. Below 100 meters the sea animals catch what falls from the farmlands above and eat it. Banquet Table Lower The catch is the slowly falling plants, and the bacteria or other or ganisms feeding on them. All this food Is either plants, or plant tissue In the process of being changed to animal tissue by the creatures which live above 100 meters. . The big aea banquet takes place below the 100-meter level. For this meal relatively large amounts of oxy gen are used by the fish and all the other animals. Even bacteria use oxy gen to burn their food. There are a few exceptions In single cell organ isms, but they are not numerous enough to eat even all the crumbs from the ocean dinner table. It is the oxygen consumed In the sea dining room which furnishes the oosan crop census, Th amount of oxygen used la proportional to the food eaten. Like the money taken In by the cashier. It shows approxi mately how much food was eaten at the place. Oxygen Varlea The amount of oxygen "coin" spent below 100 meters varies, showing that the ocean pasturea above are not all of the same fertility. In parts of the Pacific ocean there are oxygen des erts, where oxygen is too scarce for fish to live. Oceanographers know the amount of oxygen which should be present In nny layer of water If none was used. Supplies of water ahowlng the actual oxygen present give them the meas ure of consumption. This ocean oxygen Is dissolved In the water, like sugar. It la not the oxygen which combines with hydro gen to form water. NEFF'S TREATISE PYancla M.
