WILD DUCKS IN MAINE
PORTLAND, Me., Feb. 9. (£>)—'The
“stern and rock-bound” coast of Maine
is not generally regarded as a resort
for wild ducks, yet these fowl do fre
quent the coastal bays and estuaries
of that State as well as many of the
island lakes and ponds.
Many sportsmen of Maine are ad
vocating the setting apart of certain
areas for resting places for migrat
ing geese and ducks. It appears that
one such refuge at Back bay, near
Portland, which has been in exist
ence for several years, attracts huge
flocks of waterfowl.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9. (&)—'The
Senate committee on public lands
would be authorized in a resolution
toinrduced by Senator Cameron
(Rep. of Arizona), on behalf of Sen
ator Stanfield (Rep. of Oregon), to
investigate thei purchase of 890,000,000
feet of timber in the United States
forest reserve in Grant county, Ore
gon.
Senator Cameron had previously in
troduced a resolution (Senate resolu
tion No. 333) providing for an inves
tigation into the transfer of lands in
the Southwest. He said orally that
he would issue a statement shortly re
garding the significance of that reso
lution.
The resolution put before the Senate
for Senator Stanfield of Oregon charg
ed that James W. Girard, -while in
the employ of the Forest Service at
Missoula, Mont, was instrumental in
getting Fred Herrick, of Saint Maries,
Idaho, to bid on a contract for the
timber, and that shortly afterward
Mr. Girard resigned from the Forest
Service to enter Mr. Herrick’s employ
in the development of the project.
The resolution states that under the
terms of the contract, the purchaser
agreed to construct 80 miles of com
mon carrier railroad in the reserve
within a period of two years, and that
two extensions of time have been
granted and a third is now sought.
The County court of Grant county,
according to the resolution, on Decem
ber 4, 1926, adopted resolutions charg
ing that unusual privileges have been
extended to Mr. Herrick and asking
the Oregon delegation in Congress to
seek an investigation. The resolu
tion also saves the Oregon Legisla
ture on January 20, unanimously
adopted a memorial to a similar effect.
It is said in the resolution that the
charge has been made “t'hat neither
said Herrick nor any corporations
had and have not now sufficient finan
cial resources to perform said contract
according to its provisions,” and that
“said contract was secured as a pure
speculation on the part of said Her
rick and Girard.”
The Senate committee is asked
to conduct an investigation and make
a report to the Senate by February 20.
TILL KANSANS WOULD
COMPEL LONGER BEDS
TOPEKA, Feb. 9. (JP)—Men in
Kansas grow tall like the sunflowers,
so Phil E. Zimmerman, state hotel
commissioner, himself six feet three
inches high, insists that hotels under
his jurisdiction provide beds long
enough for the state’s lengthy sons.
Zimmerman has found a standard
hotel bed to be six and one-fourth
feet long. That’s enough for Zim
merman to squeeze in, but too short
for other Kansans, like Jess Willard,
the former champion, who is six feet
six.
The hotel commissioner has asked
H. W. Behrens, a state senator, who
stands six feet seven inches, to push
a bill empowering the commissioner
to regulate the length of hotel beds.
