    208 OREGON WILD Afterword JIM CALLAHAN One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am — a reluctant enthusiast.... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of your- selves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious still- ness, the lovely mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive and I promise you this much: I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men with their hearts in a safe-deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: you will outlive the bastards. —Edward Abbey1 Edward Abbey. Ed, take it from another Ed, not only can wilderness lovers outlive wilderness opponents, we can also defeat them. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men (sic) UNIVERSITY, SHREVEPORT UNIVERSITY, to do nothing.

  • Chintro Malheur WQ Study Introduction
    Hydrology and Water Quality at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge Tim Mayer, Rick Roy, Tyler Hallock, Kenny Janssen U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service INTRODUCTION Malheur National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) is located in Harney Basin in southeastern Oregon (Figure 1). The refuge encompasses 187,000 acres of open water, wetlands, springs, riparian areas, irrigated meadows and grain fields, and uplands. The original executive order in 1908 protected Harney, Mud, and Malheur Lakes. The refuge was expanded to include the Blitzen Valley in 1935 and the Double-O Unit in 1941. The refuge serves as a major feeding, resting, and nesting area for migratory waterfowl, shorebirds, marsh birds, colonial nesting waterbirds, raptors, and passerine bird species. Water and marsh habitat management on the refuge benefit large numbers of breeding and migrating birds including ducks, geese, swans, colonial nesting species, and other marsh and shorebirds. The refuge also supports large numbers of greater sandhill cranes. The value of the habitat on the refuge is largely dependent on the availability and management of water resources. Much of the water management on the refuge occurs in the Blitzen Valley, where the infrastructure for water management exists. The Donner and Blitzen (Blitzen) River begins on Steens Mountain and flows north through the Blitzen Valley unit of the refuge and into Malheur Lake (Figure 2). A system of dikes, canals, drains, and water control structures was developed in the early 1900s to facilitate grazing and farming. Twenty miles of the river was channelized and straightened at the same time. The water distribution system still exists and is used by the refuge to manage water in the Blitzen Valley.

  • Little Salt Lake (Lake, Iron County) From: Utah Place Names
    Little Salt Lake (lake, Iron County) from: Utah Place Names LITTLE SALT LAKE (Iron County) was a seasonal, small, shallow, brackish sink lying north of Parowan* in Parowan Valley. The lake was named in contrast to the larger and better-known Great Salt Lake located near Salt Lake City*. It was also called Parowan Lake. The Piutes called it "Paragoon," which means "vile water." The adjacent town of Paragonah* takes its name from this Indian word. Parowan also evolved from Paragoons, Marsh People, the name of the Piede band living near the water in earlier days. >R9,10W,T33S,SLM; 5,675' (1,730m). Bibliography: Dalton, Luella Adams.
