SAVE MALHEUR LAKE.
Portland, February s. IL

Editor the East Oregonian:
Theodore Roosevelt was the most
far-sighted president this country
ever had in saving our wilds from eX-
termination. He said that wild birds
We're absolutely necessary to future
agricultural development in the Unit
ed States, because they are the natur-
ial check upon insects and other pests
that take $SOO,OOO,0OO annual toll
from the farmers.
He saw the complete determination
o? the myriads of wild pigeons of east
ern North America. because these
birds were not protected on them
breeding grounds. The common peo-
Pile were thus deprived of a food sup
ply.
August IS, 1908, President Roose~
welt issued a special proclamation
creating Malheur Lake as a federal
will bird reservation. 1t is recognized
as the greatest wild bird refuge in
North America. 1t is one of our
greatest memorials to Theodore
Roosevelt.
Promoters under the guise of in
creasing agricultural land in Harvey
county, have a lobby at Salem to drain
this alkaline lake and use the alkali
crusted soil to lure new settlers to
Oregon. Their plans to destroy
Malheur Lake reservation are now be-
fore the state land board for action.
The department of agriculture at
Washington has had charge of this
area and since 1908, has paid war;
dens to protect it. oregon is morally
bound not to commit the commercial
crime of destroying it,. Malheur Lake
reservation is as wonderful as Crater
lake, Mt. Hood or the Columbia High
way. 1t is an asset to Oregon and the
United States as one of the last great
wild fowl nurseries.
1 appeal totyou and to your readers
to help us pass House Bill S76, ced-
ing jurisdiction of Malheur Lake to
the government and letting it contin'
ue it's charge, Governor Withycombe
recommended this in his message to
the legislature Oregon is a great
out-of door state and as such is at
tracing people from all over the Unit
ed States. II any of your readers are
interested, 1 should be glad to hear
from them. Sincerely,

the prompt action of the feder-
