ers." Sullivan explained, "to se
cure leases, if possible, on all lands
showing promise of favorable oil
structure. If we can secure these
leases it will be possible to keep
control of the exploration, assur
ing mat it oe done in an orderly
manner and by legitimate outfits,
Furthermore it will be possible to
'farm out' leases to competing
firms, thereby protecting the
county against any firm capping
a productive bole and postponing
production.
"If Douglas county land owners
win cooperate with us we can mm.
imize speculative operations and
assure orderly progress in explo
ration," smiuvan asserted.
He pointed out that oil leases are
standard in form: that the land
owner is assured a royalty of one
eighth of the prodution from his
land. Oil Developers, inc., will use
the standard lease form, thus pro
tecting the land owner in every
particular.
A countywlde leasing program
is to be started in the near future,
Sullivan reports. The association
is asking me cooperation ot at
fected land owners in keeping the
project under local control and
management, he states.

Vets Bonus Bonds
Buy With State's
Funds To Be Asked
SALEM UP) The state bond
commission will ask the state re
tirement board and the state In
dustrial accident commission to
buy bonds to pay Oregon's veter
ans' vonus.
That was decided here at a meet
ing of the bond commission.
Representatives of veterans or
ganizations urged the bond com
mission to try to sell the veter
ans bonds to state agencies. The
retirement board and accident
commission are the only two agen
cies with enough trust funds avail
able. Both in the past have indi
cated they preferred to keep their
present investment.
The suggestion was made that
these two agencies buy a small
portion of the $40,000,000 bond is
sue and with this money get bonus
payments underway.
Private buyers have refused to
bid on the bonds since a regional
federal credit restraint committee
ruled that the bonus would be in
lationary. Members of the state bond com
mission are Gov. Douglas McKay,
State Treasurer Walter J. Pearson
snd L.O. Arens, a member of
the accident commission.
John W. Jones, Portland, spokes
man for the veterans advisory
board, said "if you will issue the
bonds and let the veterans organ
izations be your salesmen, we'll
sell every one of them."
Jones said a lot of them could
be sold in the south, "where they
still believe in states rights."

NEW PRODUCTS, METHODS AND MARKETS
The Weyerhaeuser Timber Company, as well as many others in
the forest industry, steadily reinvests income in research and
development. For example, the Weyerhaeuser Developncnt
Department at Longview, Washington, is manned by a skilled
staff of 40 scientists and engineers. Similar work is carried on by a
corps of chemists in the Company's pulp mill laboratories. From
their work is coming new products, new uses, and new methods
which are unlocking the fabulous storehouse of the forest.

to bring about a closer relation

county," ne added.
Hayes reported that state person
nel is presently working on a new
master plan for the state which
will put the county, state and city
organizations on a closer looting.
Among items included in the plan,
he aaid, are emergency route des
ignations and assembly points to
and from the Portland area. He
stated these would be sent to the
Douglas county organization im
mediately since this county is now
in a position to process them. He
also stated the Sheriff's aero
squadron and other aircraft in the
county would be returned to the
jurisdiction of the county.
In conclusion, Hayes verbally ap
plauded the impressive advances
the county has made since its in
ception.
"We are almost self sufficient.
We think we can handle anything
but general fire or flood," Pierce
agreed. - ,
