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.

wbicb they were actually grown.
Any violation of this law is punish

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
