WASHINGTON, March 1
CAP) The forest service was ac
cused yesterday of "deliberate in
ception to mislead" the house
public lands committee in sending
each member a map of Oregon
& California raljroad grant In
demnity lands showing the lands
h pa)? of national forests.""
" The accusation was made by
Representative fcllswbrln of pic
Ron before the committee, now
hearing' testimony on a bill to
lake 472,QO0 acres of the indem
nity (anils from Jurisdiction of
the forest service and place t
unjder the Interior department
w liicji administers Oregon & Cal
ifornia revested railroad lands.
The map showed the revested
lands and the Indemnity lands
which 19 Oregon counties are
nsking 40 bo put. under the Inte
rior department. The counties get
50 percent of the Income from
the lands administered by the do'
parlhient and only '25 per 'cent
of Income from lands administer
ed "by llje forest service. "
Facts Not Indicated
Ellsworth told the committee,
of which he is a member, there
was nothing on the map to in
dicate the forest service had pre
pared and distributed it, nothing
to Indicate the Indemnity lands
were In dispute and that It 'Mo
nies by Implication any were in I
dispute."
He said the map "was adroitly
planned lo mislead" but said he
would not have objected to It haij
it clearly shown lis source.
Lee Kneipp, assistant chief of
the forest service, said the map
was distributed to aid t ho mem
bers In locating the land In ques
tion and with the idea of being
helpful. He said he assumed as
lie 'and other forest service offi
cials had testified at the time the
map was presented It would he
understood it was from the ser-1 '
Vice. I
'Same Treatment'
Guy Cordon, counsel for the,
Oregon counties seccklng shift In j
Jurisdiction of the land, testified
.wui iH-i-iMiuis nau noiu tne in
demnity lands were part of the
Oregon and California 'railroad
grant lands and that other deci
sions had hold they must be ac
corded the same treatment as
other revested railroad lands.
The Indemnity lands had not
been patented when the govern
ment recaptured them and ,ua
they were hi national forests civ.
aled after the land was granted
lo the railroads the forest ser
vice took over their administration.
Cordon read court decisions
which held the government had
no right to include In national
forests land already granted to
the railroad. His testimony con
cluded public hearings o"n the
measure. '
J By Charles V. Stantor.
Ul M. CAMPBELL has resigned as superintendent of the
' Roseburg schools after serving the district for 20 years,
first as high school principal and then as superiptenrJent'.
He has held the latter pf flee for more than if years. His
long tenure of office is,; jn fact, one of the best recommen
tlatipns ho. conic rpceiyqj i ( ,
Prior to his acceptance of jlhe office,, Roseburg had a bad
name for its treatment 'of school superintendents. It was
seldom the man selecCd to jiead the schools could survive
factional and clique assaults for more than fyo "three-year
terms at the most, and some failed to las), put one contract:.
Roseburg school fights were generally of aiinual occurrence
ana ouen were extremely bitter. But since "Matt" Camp
bell took over the job there litis not been a disturbance de
serving the name "school fight." There has at times, it is
true, been disagreement with certain of his acts or policies.
'No school principal, particularly one as energetic in his man
agement of school affairs, could expect to avpid conflicts,
but Superintendent Campbell's period of service in Rose
burg sets an all-time record for harmony and cooperation
in the conduct of school activities.
He has been outstanding in the field of financial manage
ment. At the time he assumed the position, the Roseburg
district had. a total indebtedness of $177,500 in bonds and
897,975 in warrants. For a number' of years all district
payments-had bepi) made py warrants, adding a heavy tax
load because pf interest piarges. ' .
tiWng .over the office of school superintendent in 1927.'
Campbell introduced economies which resulted in erasure of
warrant indebtedness l?y 1930. By the close of the current,
year, thp bppded indebtedness of the district will have been!
! reduced to $57,,0Q.Q. This exceptional financial record has
boon achieved in spite of an additional $80,000 bond issue,
voted fp)- const ruction of Rose and Fullerton elementary,'
schools, purchase of athletic fields, construction of a grand-'!
Manq, ana recent acquisition ol property for a proposed
ey elementary school in Riverside.
Yap throughput the 17 years the niijlage levy has been
low, compared villi districts of like size, and he improve
ment was brought about without the necessity pf any special
elections fop the purpose of raising funds in excess of legal
limitations.
Superintendent Campbell is not entitled to all of flic credit
for this remarkabje achievement.' It could not have been ac
complished without "the supervision and cooperation of an
efficient board pf school directors and these elected officials
should share in credit for the outstanding record. But it is
the superintendent who is charged with the administration
of policies and who recommends methods pf operation. Many
of the economies which so vastly improved the district's
financial condition were proposed and executed by' Mr.
Campbell.' " : " ' ': ' '
ik achievements, however, have not been confined en
tirely to the field of finance. He has shown exceptional
ability jn the selection of instructors. Teachers" have been
of unusually fine .character and ability and as a result the
Roseburg schools have consistently stood among the leaders
in scholastic surveys made by the institutions of higher
education.
Ho will continue with the Roseburg school system through
the few remaining months of the school year, his resignation
Ifoing effective July 1. J leaving the employ of the Rose
burg district ie is entitled to take pride in a fine record of
achievement and merits the appreciation of every school
paf ron and taxpayer fop thp excellent service he has rendered.

Given Rationing
Board, Roseburg
L. V. Hammock, chairman of
the Roseburg War Price and Ra
tioning board, reports that great
er' authority to "deal directly with
price violators" will soon be dele
gated to price panels of local
boards. It is planned, Hammock
has been advised by the regional
administrator, to - authorize the
local panels to-arrange for and
recommend acceptance of volun
tary payment by the violator of
cash refunds covering over
charges, hear evidence of viola
tions, recommend action with re
gard to penalties or prosecution
and to serve as moderators in
any dispiits. The expanded au
thority, it is stated, will be dels
gated as rapidly as personnel can
be trained to administer the new
powers.
At the same time, the OPA an
nounces that its entire volunteer
price group at each board here
after will be known as "Price
Control Committees."
It is the plan of the Roseburg
board, Hammock stated, to en
gage in educational rather than
police work, as far as possible.
Members will be designated lo
visit stores for the purport of
checking prices and will work
with merchants in an effort to
bring about complete accord with
regulations. Cases of continued
or deliberate violations will be
referred to the board for action.

FERN FIRES FOREST FIRES
Pf 62,000 acres of Douglas
fir forest land burned last
...... j
year, oyer 50,000 acres
were early fern fires!
No person would knowingly start a
raging forest fire. Yet fern fires
actually are forest fires . . . because their
searing heat kills young trees instantly!
Literally thousands of acres of prospec
tive future forests are destroyed in this
manner every year.
Nature grows bracken fern on.logged
off land to protect young' Douglas fir.
seedlings from the hot sun. The little
trees can usually be found under the fern
mass. Fire in patches of dead fern do not
destroy the fern roots... they come back,
fast! But fire kills the tree seedlings and
destroys the soil building value of dead
fern. So fern fires actually destroy both
plants and soil ... all that remains is bar
ren land. Guard against fern fires!
FREE TREES
J1;"; Y" may ef Douglas fir seedlings
FREh, for planting on fern patches and wood
lots, just by calling at the forest industries
tree nursery. N,squally, eight miles north of
Olympia on the Pacific Highway at the foot
ol the long, straight hill. These seedlings are
two years old, tall and strong. Schools, worn
ens clubs. Boy Scout troops, home owners,
may also have fir seedlings FREE for the
asking. Look for the highway sign Wfsr
