The Female of the LULWASHINHTON. Acconling to a statement by .Mrs. IL C. KleinForger, In charge of the women's department of the Continental and Commercial bank of Chicago, the 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 HILL in" congress introduced by Kaker of California and providing for the drainage of the Klamath Lake region In California and Oicgon with a view to soldier settlement has stirred tip a three-sided controversy. The agricultural department experts say these hike bottoms and marshes would become simply alkali Hats, unfit for cultivation. The former Kh math was cut off from its water supply and largely dried up last summer. The agricultural department jsoil experts say the dried-out land 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 $JS:V--o. 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 natoral history magazine. Dr. E. W. 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 Lake reservation forms an ideal home for myriads of migratory wild fowl, such as ducks. Whole Colorado Basin THE formation of a plan for the development of the entire basin of tin Colorado river at a cost of more than .$100,000,000 was the principal business of the recent annual convention of the League of the Southwest, held at Los Angeles. The governors of eight southwestern states California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah. ColoradOj Oklahoma and Texas participated, together with the heads of city and county governments in these states ami representatives of civic, patriotic, educational. Industrial and commercial organizations. There Is a bill (II. It.

GltKATUi: Crater Lake National paik Is likely soon to In a reality. The bill (S.JT07) has been passed by the sei.ate. ( s 1111W before the public hinds committee of the house. If there is opposition to the measure, ll has gUen no sign. Crater Lake National park now contain -10 square miles In the shape of a rectangle, about is b 1 mile. The addition contains l square miles, practically all of which lbs to the north. In making the circuit nf Crater lake oer the wonderful It Im Itond, completed last season, the visitor call-in's many views of this IMumond lake region to the north sind sees that nature intended It to be a part of the park. Tin- still more compic hcnslxe slews from Sun Notch and Cniter peak, reached only by trails, confirm this proposition. Diamond lake Is a feature of the addition.

Mount Tblelsen (0.17S) rises to the east of the lake and Mount Hal ley (S.:t.V) to the west. In the northeast corner of the addition Is liowlock mountain (S.HoT).

Species Is Thriftier

Miss Nina Y. Carter, in charge of th woman's department of a Chicago bank. 'This is caused by the fact that there are mcie 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 J13 with $300,000 in savings. Today there are 1.700 with a total deposit of .$1,000,000. Springfield, III., banks' books show three out of every four new depositors are women. One St. Louis bank reported its number of women depositors had increased ;w 1-0 per cent, another 7 per cent, another 20 per cent, and another Ho per cent. "They deposit more than half of the total savings in Denver banks, and 70 per cent in any bank line are women," said H. L. Morgan of the International Trust company. Denver. "It simply means the husbands are giving their wives their wages." geese, grebes and ielieans, 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.

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- penpb who enjoy a production of farjn products not only unsurpassed hut unequaled anywhere. The cot of the project Is not prohlbitlxe. It is staled. Its threefold ! benefits of added ai res in cultivation. electric energy and freedom from Hood UM nace are worth many times more than the cost, the experts estimate. There are several hundred thousand ::cres of government land which could be Used for soldier settlement.

The 'enlargement Is needed because of the big game, which now frequently stray beyond the boundaries. The enlargement will also give the park a Morlh entrance, which Is needed. With the development by the state nii! county authorities of the lead 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. This would be ery list. ful to the people of Oregon, and par tlcularly to tourists coming to tht park via the Palles and HwmL
