BIRD HAVEN FOR OREGON President Sets Apart Sev eral Lakes Where Birds May Nest in Peace Lower Klamath, Harney and Malheur Will No Longer be Visited by Hunters Washington, Acg 20 No longer may tbe Oregon bunter look for sport on lower Klamath Uarney or Malheur lakes for gunning on and around these famous shooting grounds bas been forbidden hy Presilueoa'. Roosevelt, and vio.ators of bis orders will De prosecuted in federal courts. Tbe Preisdeat bas not undertaken to iterfere witb tne Oregon state game laws, but by tbe executive order baa created a National bird preserve embodying these tbree lakes, together witb tbeir shores, islands and abutt ing swamps and in these preserves no native birds mav be killed, nor eggs taken, nor nests destroyed. , In a few instances lands abutting, on these lakes may bave passed to pri vate ownership and bere gunners are not affected by tbe President's order, but such spots are scarce, and in tbe main it is believed these ordera will put an end to tbe killing of birds on loe soumern uregon lanes. This preserve was created on recom mendation of tbe National Audubon Society, and is intended to prevent tbe extermination of tbe various typea of wild birds wbicb frequent the lake repion. Tbe Audobon Society after careful investigation found that Oregon birds were being killed rath leHaiy, largely by hunters supplying tbe miliuery market. Cases were found where such hunters in season were making from flUOO to 8500 a day sell ing bird cretts, plumes, breasts, wings, eetc, to milliners. With sucb profits in sight bitds were being slaughtered by tbouauds On Klam ath lake and uiarsb no gunning will be permitted uuder any circumstances whatever. On the .Malheur and liar ney preserve birds maybe kiled in limited numbers tor purely scientific purposes by persons holding iiceusea from the Secretary of Agriculture, but only one or two birds of type will tie a-;owed to auy person holding a permit, aud as permits will be issued so'ely to sclent li-ts, gunning is practically prohibited aud absolutely as s regards sportpiiien. Not only Iihb tins the Piesident put a stop to the killing of birds valuable chiefly for their plumage, bat he has made it impossible to slaughter wild game. His order applies to wild ducks as well as to geese. In fact it ap( lies to ull tealhered game around tbe lakes. any green fruit were raised, produced or grown by auy other persdu tbau tbe one who actuality raised them, or that tbey was raised or grown in any other place or locality than iu wbicb they were actually grown. Any violation of this law is punish able by tine or imprisonment or both, and tbe possession for the purposes of sale of auy false!y or illegally mark ed box or packuge is made prima fucie evidence that the person having such illegally marked box or packge is the viol itor of the law. All persons are warned to conform witb tbe pro visions ot this law. PRICE OE MEAT STEADILY RISING A Train Load Brings $20,- 000, or $S Per in Omaha Cwt.
