Finley Coming East 



Mr. William L. Finley, of Portland, Ore., 

 the dean of American wild-life photog- 

 raphers, is planning to come east just 

 after New Year's on a three-months' lec- 

 ture-trip. He writes that already he has 

 made a large number of engagements. 

 Most bird-students are familiar with Mr. 

 Finley's work, and tens of thousands have 

 thrilled with pleasure in viewing the prod- 

 ucts of his marvelous exploits in securing 

 moving pictures of western wild life. 



The past summer Mr. Finley has spent 

 much time in the deserts of southeastern 

 Oregon, in the Stein Mountains, and in the 

 Cascades, where he has secured an unusual 

 number of new and interesting subjects. 

 Bird clubs or others desiring to make ap- 

 pointments with Mr. Finley may address 

 him at 651 East Madison Street, Portland, 



Ore., or such communications may be sent 

 directly to the New York Office of the 

 National Association of Audubon Societies. 



Nebraska Incorporates 



The Nebraska Audubon Society was 

 formally incorporated at a meeting held 

 in Omaha, July 27, 1917. The present 

 officers were reelected. These are Presi- 

 dent Solon R. Towne and Clerk Joy M. 

 Higgins. The following were chosen 

 trustees: Solon R. Towne, John R. Ring- 

 wait, Katherine M. Baxter, Joy M. Hig- 

 gins, and Arthur L. Palmer. Omaha will 

 be headquarters for the Society. There 

 will be no capital stock and the corporate 

 life of the Society will be for ninety-nine 

 years. Preservation, propagation, and 

 protection of native birds summarize the 

 object and purpose of the organization.
