The Female of the w ASHINOTON. According to a statement by Mrs. II. C. KleinForger, In charge of the women's department of the Continental and Commercial bank of Chicago,-1 lie evolution of woman from a clinging vine to a financial giantess is progressing rapIdly, and within a few generations woman will take her stand with the men financiers. Hank, deposits, according to reports, show women proportionately are saving more money than men. In the last four years the number of depositors as well as the amount of savings has doubled, they show. "Twice as many women are saving money today as before the war," said

Opposition to Klamath Lake Reclamation

A BILL in congress introduced by linker of California and providing for the drainage of the Klamath Lake region in California and Oregon with a view to soldier settlement has stirred tip a three-sided controversy. The agricultural department experts say those lake bottoms ami marshes would become simply alkali Hats, unfit for cultivation. The former Klamath was cut oIT from its water supply and largely dried up hist summer. The agricultural department soil experts say the dried-out hind is too alkali, for farming purposes. The government reclamation service undertook to drain a large area here several years ago and abandoned the project as impracticable after an expenditure of $1!S::J2ri. The United States biological survey says that forage for live stock in the marshy lands is all that the region will yield. In the current number of the natural history magazine. Dr. K. YY. Nelson, chief of the biological survey, presents arguments for the preservation of the region as one of the most notable migratory bird preserves in the United States. Containing a great area of swampy land with a shallow-water lake in the middle, the Klamath Fake reservation forms an ideal home for mvriads of v migratory wild fowl, such as ducks.

Senate Favors Greater Crater Lake Park

Gi:i:ATi:i: Crater Lake National park is likely soon to be a reality. The bill (S.'JT'.H) has been passed bv the sennit'. It is i.ow before the public lands committee of the house. If there is opposition to the measure, it has given no sign. Crater Lake National park now contains JU square miles in the shape of a rectangle, about IS by 14 miles. The addition contains 1 IT. scpiare miles, practically all of which lies to the north. In making the circuit of Crater lake over the wonderful Kim Koad. completed last season, the Visitor catches many views of this Diamond lake region to the north and sees that nature intended it to be a part of the park. The still more comprehensive views from Sun Notch and Crater peak, reached only by trails, confirm this proposition. Diamond lake is a feature of the addition. It lies at an elevation of o.J0O feet. Is about ö by ? miles, is comparatively shallow, affords good bathing and is an ideal camping ground. Mount Thielsen (9.17S) rises to the east of the lake and Mount Unlley (vS.V) to the west. In the northeast corner of the addition Is Ilowlock mountain (S.:i."l). The scenery Is attractive and the fishing good.

Species Is Thriftier

Miss Nina Y. Carter, In charge of the woman's department of a Chicago hank. This Is caused by the fact that there are more women who have had occasion to handle money since the war; that there are more women who have gone into business, and that more have been thrown on their own resources," she said. Five years ago the number of woman depositors at her bank, according to Miss Carter, totaled 215 with $300,000 In savings. Today there are 1,700 with a total deposit of $1,000,000. Springfield. 111., banks' books show three out of every four new depositors are women. One St. I.ouis hank - reported its number of women depositors bad increased ..' per cent, another 7 per cent, another -O per cent, and another 1!." per cent. "They deposit more than half of the total savings in Denver hanks, and 70 per cent in any bank line are women," said II. L. Morgan of the International Trust company, Denver. "It simply means tlTe husbands are giving their wives their wages." a ! II il -s. ill geese, grebes and pelicans, during the nesting season and the spring and fall migrations. Dr. Nelson charges the land promoters of the vicinity of Klamath lake with endeavoring to secure the abolition of the reservation in private interests, and declares that such protected spots are becoming so few that now the destruction of each one becomes irreparable. This is especially true of such a large and notable area as Klamath lake. And the whole situation appears to him more critical in view of the fact that Malheur lake, lying in the desert country of southeastern Oregon and believed to be the greatest breeding place for wild fowl in the United States, is also menaced with annihilation at the hands of the drainage enthusiasts. ' "Save the birds," is his plea. One Imperial Valley of what the lands of the Colorado basin can do under irrigation. The total production of the valley even now under irrigation exceeded in value S.'O.. (MH).OOO in liUS. The population in 1P10 was, in round numbers. I.'i.ooo. and in 1JUJ exceeded (50,0no. The value of the production in 11)10 was S.VOH).IMM, and in 1!1P, exceeded S.'n.OdO.OPO. These results tell their own story and magnify the dreams of those who 18 years ago conceived this wonderful Improvement and the reclamation of an arid waste which today embraces wonderful farms, beautiful modern cities, and a happy, aggressive, progressive, energetic, prosperous people who enjoy a production of farm products not only unsurpassed but unequaled enywhere. The cost of the project is not prohibitive, it is stated. Its threefold benefits of added acres in cultivation, electric energy and freedom from flood menace are worth many times more than the cost, the experts estimate. There are several hundred thousand acres of government land which could be used fur soldier settlement. At present the water for irrigation Hows through Mexican soil a condition of constant uanger in view of the strained relations. -CM f.Tri x J . --rv.'--T?c.. 11 TT. -9 The area to be added is properly part of the park and will add greatly to its symmetrical development. A road connecting Diamond lake with the Him road around Crater lake is a natural development. The enlargement Is needed because of the big game, which now frequently strays beyond the boundaries. The enlargement will nlsu give the park a north entrance, which is needed. With the development by the state and county authorities of the road from a point south of Crescent on the Central Oregon highway, east of the Cascades, a new entrance to Crater Lake National park would be developed. Tins would be very useful to the people of Oregon, alid particularly to tourists coming to thi park via the Dalles and RcuiL
