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transportation la about 70 years out
of date."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

ladders at Bonneville. 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.

Captain P. R. Oliver, member of

He reported that the expedition
had reached Camp Six, about 27,000

A letter reaching here more than

OCEAN TOP WATER
FURNISHES MEALS
FOR FISHES BELOW
Acre of Surface Equals
Yield of Acre of Land
Tiny Plants Feed Little
Fish; Big Fish Eat Them
By HOWARD W. 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. Neff was winner of the
national and a school prize In the
treatise contest conducted under the
auspices of the American Osteopathic
Association of Physicians and Sur
geons, according to word received
here today.
Mr. Neff Is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. B. r. Neff of Jacksonville, and
