I.'HEK0K.EE, Oklu.—There's jto-
i ing to be some good fishinjr on the
ante arid Great Salt Plains refuge
this year. It will be vpened to the
public after u*e by the Army as a
bombing ranite.
But nut uuiy tu fishermen will
this be interesting news of a stor-
ied spot. The (Ireat Salt Pluins
' national wildlife refuge, the Suit
i Plains dam and lake, and surround-
ing terrain, will hold interest for
' the student of ornithology, jr"ou-
nosy. ichthyology, geography;
' hunter or fisherman; or maybe a
mere landlubber who likes to dig
into the oddities of the South-
. west's physical make-up.
One of the stories about the
region is that the ducks once mis-
took a wide area of just salt-nund
for a large inland body of water,
and that the smull white desert
that once marked the area was a
' great landing field for hordes of
wild ducks and geese that use the
continental central flyway each
autumn and spring.
But anyway, the birds aren't
hoaxed now, for there is a tine
lake for them to rest upon—W.TaO
acres in extent.
Made Refuge in I&IO
Through the efforts of Joe Con-
stant. Cherokee, Dkla,. bunker,
who was a member of the Okla-
homa Game and Fish commission
at the time, the ( teat Suit Pluins
wa* declared a national migratory
refuge by President Hoover in
11)30.
ft was not until much later—
April. I'.Ml—that the t.T. S. Fish
and Wildlife Service established
residential headquarters and plac-
ed a refuge manager there to bring
the great area to life factually as
a sanctuary for wildlife.
Construction of a dam of mam-.
moth proportions across the Salt
Fork of the Arkansas river began
in 19#K to form the lake which
covers an approximate one-third
of the refuge proper.
The dam, built under supervision
of I". S. Army engineers, measures
feet in length, has a crest
elevation li&.a feet and. though
buiJt primarily for flood control,
has served also in backing up the
waters of Walk Fork into its fill
of 1,1140,000 cubic yards, wit^i a
drainage area of It,070 square
miles.
Built at a total cost of over three
million dollars, the construction
serves u triple purpose because of
its value as a wildlife feeding and
resting area, and as one more
source of good fishing for anglers

Wide Species, of Birds
The wealth of bird life, visitant,
and resident, on the refuge run*
into such great numbers that Seth;
H. Low, inunttger. has not yet list- i
eil his findings for study data in
publicizeil form. He hopes soon to j
catalogue them, however, for puh-
lii dissemination.
Such species as loons, grebes,
pelicans, cormorants, herons, bit-
tern. egrets geese anil ducks of
many varieties, cranes, rails, coot,!
tern, irallinule, snipe killdeer, pio.j
ver. vviilet. yellowlegs, uvoeet. dove,
phalai-ope and many speeies have
heen noted in vast numbers.
Erohably the most spectacular
migration which uses the refuge
are the gulls, which come to the
refuge in untold thousands during
crosw-continefttal flights. Pfeda-
c-eou.. birds such as crows, ravens,
magpies, and hawks and owls of
several species, also- have heen
noted.
Bob white i|uail are welcome
residents throughout the brushy
.mil grassy parts of the great sanc-
tuary. Of Oklahoma mammals,
refuge observers have noted the
-oyote, opossum, badger (uncom-
mon), muskrat, fox squirrel; jack-
rabbit. cottontail rabbit, striped
■ knnk, spotted skunk, and others.
The primary object in establish-
ing migratory waterfowl refuges
is not to deprive the hunter of his
inherent right to hunt, though
-uch estahllsbmnets do necessitate
the closing of certain areas to all
shooting.
Haven for Ducks
The wilil ducks and geese which
annually concentrate there go out-
daily to feed within a 25-:>0 mile
radius and thus afford the hunters!
some of the finest wild-fowling,'
known to people of the Southwest.

Thus the great salt plains con-
tinues us one of the nation's great
duek-hunting havens, though the
point umqng the plains Indians,
The salt plains near Cherokee,
unlike others in various parts of
the nation, were never part of a
river bed, say geologists and those
versed in stratigraphy, aor is
there any indication that the area
once was an ancient lake.
Its shoreline presents a very
low relief with a total absence of
banks in places.
An absence of timber is noted,
along the edge of the salt bed,
though the barren plains began
abruptly from, verdant farm lands. |
Crops are cultivated to the mar-1
gin of the salt plain. The dam
caused the lake to form over a
part of the original salt plain.
