ternity gathered here from all points

vention, now there are $50 members
in the fold Of the College city lodge
and more coming. During the present
convention the little town came in
with 500 members and two bands
not including jazz orchestra.
Hospitality Shown

since the opening convention day.
JULY 21st, gives McMihnville lodge
1888, a firm claim to being one of
the most hospitable organizations in
the state, regardless of size and pro-
portional population. On the first
day here, McMinnville headquarteis $
were opened up in the Moose build
ing and here the Yamhill antlered
herd can be found at any and all
times.

State Engineer
Opposed to Bird
Refuge Measure

The enactment of the proposed
Roosevelt Bird refuge measure and
the ceding of Malheur Lake to the
federal government is contrary to
the best interests of the state of Ore
gon. according to Percy A. Cupper,
state engineer, who SO declares in an
exhaustive report on the proposed
measure to the Oregon Chapter Of
the American association of en-
gineers.
Cupper declares that the proposed
measure would cede to the federal
government all the, waters of NAL
heur Lake, subject to existing rights,
thus providing uncertain concurrent
state and federal control of these
waters and preventing their further
appropriation.
That it gives to the government
approximately 47,000 acres much of
which is doubtless state land, part
of which should ultimately be re-
claimed and the proceeds from their
sale used in enhancing the states ir-
reducible school fund;
That it will add 47,000 acres to
and remove this area forever from
the possibility of taxation.
That it will tend to discourage rail-
road construction and general de-
velopment in that section of the
state;
That it will prevent the state or
the government or both from con-
trolling the water level in Malheur
Lake or any part of It which can
best be accomplished by irrigation
and drainage development carried on
simultaneously;
That uncertainty exists relative to
the title to the bed of Malheur Lake
and considerable time has been ex-
pended by the Attorney General in
vestigating the same and any action
looking toward the disposal of the
lands prior to the time we find out
who they belong to is premature;
That any lands which will be eff
fected by the measure are now en-
tirely within the control of the state
and the state land board composed
of the governor, secretary of state
and state treasurer, should be per-
mitted to continue ohandle the sit
uation in the best interest of the
state.
Cupper recommends that an effort
be made to secure the withdrawal of
the measure, and failing in this,
would have the society of engineers
get back of a move to defeat the
masure at the polls as adverse to the
best interests of the state.
Admitting the sincerity of purpose
of those sponsoring the measure Cup
per declares that their ardor for the
protection of bird life has blinded
them to adopt a course which will re-
suit in a detriment to the state

riding was reported to be speeding

MED by Patrolman Simkins, Friday
by long distance telephone from Sea-
side. Adams had stated to Sheriff
Needham that Simpkins had made
the introduction.
The many denials and evident eff
