Show 7 THE CITIZEN 10 UTAH MEN WILL HEAD BEAR RIVER BIRD PROJECT H. MADSEN, State Fish DAVID Game Commissioner of Utah, has been appointed superintendent of the new migratory-bir- d refuge authorized to be established at Bear River Bay, Utah, under the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Bill, re- cently approved by President Coolidge. Mr. Madsen is president of the Western Association of Game Commissioners and has been prominently identified with the conservation of wild life for a number of years. Mr. Madsen will take up his new duties on July 2. The construction work necessary for the reflooding of Bear River marshes, as provided by the act, will be performed under the direction of L. M. Winsor, Bureau of Public Roads engineer stationed at Logan, Utah. He has been engaged for a number of years on irrigation projects in the West and through his long experience in the Division of Agricultural Engineering of the Bureau of Public Roads of the United States Department of Agriculture is well fitted for the work. Mr. Winsor during the summer of 1927 made a careful study for the Bureau of Biological Survey of conditions at Bear River Bay. The second deficiency bill, which became a law during the closing hours of the 70th Congress, carried an item of $200,000 for the construction of such dikes, spillways, buildings, and improvements as may be necessary for the establishment of a refuge for migratory wild fowl in this region so well fitted as feeding and breeding grounds, and to acquire the land and water rights needed for the purpose. This is part of the $350,000 appropriation authorized in the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge Act. Plans for the preliminary work of the acquisition of lands and for engineering operations are developed by the Bureau of Biological Survey, which will EXPERT KODAK FINISHING 144 So. Main SHIPLERS administer the refuge when it is established. The Bear River marshes, on Bear River Bay, comprise the greatest wildfowl area of the kind in the Rocky Mountain region and form the gathering place for millions of wild ducks and geese during their north and south migrations. The new law seeks to improve conditions at Bear River Bay so as to prevent a recurrence of the enormous losses of miratory wild fowl, especially ducks, that have resulted from the concentrated alkaline waters there. The building of dikes and other improvements to store fresh water now flowing into Salt Lake, in order to reflood the Bear River marshes, will not only eliminate the death areas, but will also afford a feeding and breeding ground for great numbers of the birds. Instead of a death trap, the area will become a supply point for the surrounding States, producing vastly increased numbers of wild fowl.

At the annual Scout convention, recently held in San Francisco, Scout leaders unanimously approved a plan submitted, whereby the Lincoln Highway would be used for this beneficial purpose. Ths verdict was later approved by the National Executive Council, meeting in the New York headquarters, and the work delegated to the National Committee on safety, of which Col. Roosevelt is chairman. Five boys, selected as the five finest Scouts in the United States, will form part of a caravan which will leave New York City on July 4th and, accompanied by proper department heads, will travel the Lincoln Highway to its western end, at the Golden Gate-- with Coolidge the country wonders how hot a time may be in store for it After all the time, effort and money it takes to get a National convention, it is pretty tough on a city to have the chief contest settledon the first Hi .
