The Bighorn Mountains, The Little Rocky Mountains and The Bowdoin Dome Uplifts

The purpose of this paper is to secure an actual figure describing the amount of uplift in the Bighorn Mountains, the Little Rocky Mountains and the Bowdoin Dome. To the writer’s knowledge, the amount of uplift in the areas mentioned has not been determined before. Such a figure could be useful in structural studies of Montana and Wyoming, because the amount of uplift is a fair measure of the intensity of orogenic forces; also, the amount of uplift is a prerequisite to the determination of the amount of erosion

Effect of Adoption of the Model State Administrative Procedure Act on Existing Administrative Procedures in Washington

The absence of uniformity and co-ordination is perhaps best illustrated by reference to those agencies performing an administrative function without substantial legislative direction, such as the Tax Commission, and those agencies which operate under relatively rigid controls, such as the Department of Employment Security. This lack of uniformity has resulted in confusion of the public and members of the bar practicing before administrative agencies. Because of limited space, this discussion will be restricted to an examination of agencies which are representative of the many varied and separate administrative procedures in the state. Included is an appendix listing additional state agencies, the basis for their procedures and other data

A Herpetofaunal Survey of the Braidwood Dunes and Savanna Nature Preserve

A herpetofaunal survey was conducted on two sand prairie areas in Will Co., IL.; The Braidwood Dunes and Savanna Nature Preserve (BD+S), and Sandridge Savanna. Drift fences with pitfall traps, herpetological attractor panels, aquatic hoop traps, and manual collecting were used to sample the two preserves. A species list was compiled, and the habitat preferences and relative abundance of each species present were determined. The species list was compared with the species lists of other Illinois sand areas and the Nebraska sandhills. Guilds represented by the herpetofaunae of each area were also compared. Seventeen species were recorded at BD+S and five were recorded at Sandridge. Based on this and previous studies, a total of 20 reptile and amphibian species are believed to exist at BD+S. The herpetofaunal composition of BD+S and Sandridge was found to be similar to that of the Nebraska sandhills and even more similar to that of other sand areas in Mason Co., IL., while being least like the herpetofaunal composition of the non-sand areas of Will Co. Because of the sand-specific nature of many of the reptiles and amphibians present at BD+S and Sandridge, these areas, and others like them, are important in maintaining populations of such species in the county and the State

Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions and Policies

With the enactment of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, the Washington attorney will be meeting for the first time a comprehensive antitrust act designed to operate on the local or intra-state level. Because this act is, for the most part, unprecedented in this state, and because it involves, in addition to most of the complexities of federal antitrust law, a few novel features of its own, some sort of introduction to its provisions might be helpful to members of the Washington bar. There appears elsewhere in this issue an examination of the substantive provisions of this new law; my observations will be narrower in scope, and will deal mainly with the enforcement provisions. More particularly, I wish to outline the legal tools which can be used to enforce the act, some of the policy decisions which were made in fashioning these tools, and the policies—or, perhaps less pretentiously and more accurately—the attitudes, which are likely to guide my administration of this act and my use of these tools
