Establishing Lake Bowdoin Migratory Waterfowl Refuge
montana
By virtue of and pursuant to the authority vested in me as President of the United States, and in order to effectuate further the purposes of the Migratory Bird Conservation Act (45 Star. 1222), it is hereby ordered (1) that all the following- described public lands, surveyed or unsurveyed, be, and they are hereby, reserved and set apart for the use of the Department of Agriculture as a refuge and breeding ground for migratory birds and other wildlife; and (2) that such part of said lands as the Secretary of Agriculture may deem proper be reserved for use as a shooting area to be operated under a cooperative agreement or lease with the Montana State Game Commission or such other operating agency as may be approved, and under such regulations as may from time to time be adopted by the Secretary of Agriculture.
Most of the lands involved have been withdrawn for reclamation purposes in connection with the Milk River Irrigation Project in Montana,, and are primarily under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior. The reservation of these lands as a migratory-waterfowl refuge is subject to the use thereof by said Department for irrigation and other incidental purposes and to any other existing valid rights.
