FOREST ACCESS ROADS
By Charlcn V Stanton
ApproximMely $100,000,000 of federal funds nhould be
spent during the next ten years to construct 7,236 miles of
new access roads in publicly-owned timber lands in the
Pacific Northwest and to improve 4.189 miles of existing
roads. This estimate of need is made by the V. S. For
et service, which points out that th proposed expendi
ture would be self-liquidating.
The report says that cost of needed-now roads is cal
culated in appraisals when sales are made. Thus the gov
ernment actually pays for the roads, hut fails to get a suit
able pattern. By constructing main access arterials, in
crease in atumpage values would more than offset road
building costs. At the same time removal of timber could be
handled on a more orderly basis.
A "fact sheet" issued by the Forest service reports that
in national forests in Oreeon and Washington contain 231
b'llion board feet of commercial saw timber 17 percent of
the nation's total supply. The annual cut permissible under
sustained yield management of
half billion board feet. Actual cut. however, is ap
proximately one and one-half billion feet.
Full allowable cut is not now possible because the nec
essary access roads over which to transport logs to the mill
from the rough back country are lacking.
Balanced Cutting Urged
Much of the privately-owned timber in the two states
has been largely cut over. In those areas, at least, the
national forests should be contributing their total allow
able cut. This would help meet national needs for forest
products and permit use of private lands for growing new
timber crops.
In areas where a better balance exists between private
and public timber, access roads are equally important.
Often mature stands, which should be cut first, are
' mort remote. If the harvest of timber progresses in the
best manner, access roads must be built through miles of
younger timber in order to harvest ripe trees. Substantial
volumes of high value timber reportedly are dying each
year because of the lack of needed roads.
Logging Is becoming more and more seasonal, because
timber to which there is easy access is being rapidly
logged off. If roads were provided to make logging possi
ble from remote areas in summer, saving more accessible
timber for winter "shows," logging employment would be
made less seasonal. '
Would Improve Local Economy
I?y reducing unemployment during winter seasons ac
cess roads would contribute in important measure to local
.economy. At the same time, by bringing volume up to to
tal allowable cut, more timber would be made available to
operators, thus Increasing mill employment and manufac
turing. The competitive situation also would be improved,
as operators who do not have financial resources to build
their own roads would be able to bid on small tracts.
Still another advantage would be in controlling the cut
t reduce damage from erosion, while protecting water
sheds and scenic values.
Another strong argument Is that of national defense." A
full-scale war will demand large quantities of wood and
wood products. The last war proved that wood is one of our
most vital war materials.
A well planned and constructed system of access road
would assure availability of all the wood needed for any de
fense use.

Perhaps other attic contain
items of historical interest, such
at the trunk at the Richard Weath
erly home in Scottsburg. which re
cently was discovered to contain
a log of the whaling ship Omeita
dated 1R44 5. If so, the excerpts
from letters from Miss Kleanor
Stephens, state librarian, and
David C. Duniway, state archivist,
may inspire owners of such items
to send a description of the old
hook, or whatever, to the state
library at Salem for inclusion in
the index of such treasures.
"As to Omcxa." wrote Miss
Stephens, "1 did spend some time
today with three different assist
ants in reference room and i n
archives trying to trail said ship
... .1 Rave the request to Miss
Baumf(atner in the reference
room in case anything further does
come to licht, but in the liiiht of !
dates of Oregon history, 1844 is I
pretty early for written records!"
Mr. Duniway was away at the
time, but upon his return he
wrote;
"Such records are fascinating,
and I wonder what else there is
in the same trunk!" So do 1! 1 had
sent In a clipping of this column
relaying the information given me
by Mrs. Weatherley. She had said.
"The log was in an old trunk; we
found it only three weeks ago . . ."

"We have not been able lo iden
tify the boat," continues Mr. Dun
iway. "from the resources of this
library, but if the present owners
are interested in learning more
about it I have two suggestions
t make. In the first place, most
of the whaling ships on the west
coast came from the eastern polls,
and undoubtedly the log shows too
port from which it originally
cleared." (It was Dedham. I think)
"The records of the boats regis
tered or enrolled from that port,
now in the National Archives,
Washington 25. D. C, would re
veal the name'nf the captain, the
names of the owners, the sue and

THE CONSTANT CHALLENGE
A newspaper is highly depart
mentalized, and one of its major
departments of of necessity must
comprise a business office.
It is here that the "proof of h"
pudding" is found, as to whether
operations are on a paying Oasis,
as to whether collections are in
good shape, and as to whether the
; ink on the books is red or black.
The business office, as in every
; line of work, keeps itself worrying
about paying the bills and taxes.
I On a newspaper there is a con
stant if friendly friction between
j the business office and the news
I and editorial department. The husi
I ness office knows that if a news
: story or editorial offends an ad
j vertiser it is going to cost money
! for a time, unless the advertiser
'' fully realizes that a newspaper is
j as necessary to him as he is to the
j newspaper.
I The same goes for newt atories
: and editorials pertaining to indi
! viduals or groups of individuals,
i A newspaper periodically goes
j through the throes of calls to "stoo
I my subscription." when a atory
! or editorial offends. But no matter
how dilfirult. the news and editor
ial departments cannot, in keeping
faith with the public at large, allow
I the opinion of the business office
I lo make a difference to their own
! integrity. And even the business
; office would not want it otherwise
cringe though it must, at times.
The business office, as with
! every other staff member of a good
; newspaper, knows that no depart
j ment wants to hurt anyone, or
j anything. But a newspaper is not
i Pollyana. If it is news it's news,
good or bad. If a newspaper thinks
, something is out of line, it is its
I duty lo call attention. It must be
alert, fair, completely impartial in
its news columns and take the
i chips where they fall. A "free"
! press cannot remain free if it is
j subsidized through yielding to pri
vate pressures.
