Roseburg Il protesting the inclusion Of Diamond Lake in
the Crater Lake National park provided by the McNary
BILL The the old ones given whenever the
creation OF national playground is proposedhe desire OF
private parties to cornmerciaze the beauty spots.
Crater Lake is admitted world wonder but the attrac
lions are not numerous enough to induce visitors to make
proracted stay By the addition of Diamond Lake, dozen
miles away tourist attractions will be doubled, and the
visitor have much to other national parks and
stay as long.
The attitude of Roseburg is purely selfish Some of its
citizens hayedesgns Diamond Lake for storage and
power project that would flood the region and destroy it's
beauty They have had them for years Other citizens
pasture their sheep the grazing land about the lake in
the forest reserve and would lose this source of profit
Still others contemplate erecting the shores
Of the age government land and do be put
under park regulation.
In to these objections it is stated that the power
dammng Diamond Lake. that the grazing Ian dis small area
and furnishes grazing for only few head Of animals few
weeks Of the and that the right of the people Of the
nation TO the beauty spots is to the rights of
few citizens
Back of and probably instigang the Roseburg protest
however lies the old opposition Of the Forestry Service the
National Park Service. Every effort to create national
park has met with this opposition because dnishes
the and prestige of the Forestry service by
errng land under its control to the Park Service The ea
ousy Of bureaucracy is plainly apparent.

heritage Of the people forever asset to the state which

ing DIR. W NJ. D. Marcy. president OF
the board of health, Capt. Howard
Smith. of the fishing fleet, towed the
whale off shore thfs morning TO the

Captain Olsen, north sea whaler,
said that a school of probably fifty
sharks had attacked the whale and
gradually worried 1t by biting small
pieces from its sides until one OF the
larger sharks had swan under the
whale and inflicted fatal bites.
Some thought the whale was a sea
COW. but on examination It was found
the sharks had eaten to the bone in
places and two immense bones near
the head were mistaken for tusks.
