Reference Eagle Lake
322.
August 29, 1932
Have just had a short talk with Prof.
Harding of the Irrigation Dept. He was
at Eagle Lake for 2 days in the latter
part of June this summer. He reports
seeing only about 25-30 white
pelicans on the old nesting ground
which is now connected with the
mainland. He saw no nests nor
young anywhere around the lake.
It is planned to continue draining
the lake until its area is approximately
3000 acres in order to cut down the
loss of water due to evaporation. Both
the incoming water supply & the
lake water are being used for
irrigation. He sees no future for
pelican nesting colonies at Eagle
Lake.
Reference Dolaho
Sept. 5, 1932
On July 31, 1932 I saw Bill Purkh in Yellow
stone. He had just returned from Dolaho
& gave the following account:
Selway National Forest Dolaho, about 8000
deer, and 7000-8000 elk.
Clear Water, N.F. Dolaho, about 2000 elk.
Mt. goats also abundant.
