Roseburg Dist.
Timber Sales
Top Appraisals
The Bureau of Land Manage
ment reports that the Roseburg
Forest District's 1951 timber sale
plan called for advertising one hun
dred two million board feet with
sales at sixty-day intervals start
ing in February, 1951. On Decern
bcr 12, 1951, the last scheduled
sale for 1951 was held. Records .n
the district office show 38 parcels
totaling 83.579.000 board feet were
sold in 1951. This volume brought
a total price of $2,148,980.25 as
compared to the appraised price
of (1,851,200.50.
The average appraised price of
Douglas Fir for the year was $23.11
and the average selling price
$26.82 per thousand.
District Forester James W.
Watts salt that an additional nine
parcels, totaling 14.110,000 board
feet and having an appraised val
ue of $291,357.75, were advertised
for sale but received no bids. All
tracts receiving no bids in 1951
will be readvertlsed in 1952 pro
vided there are interested pur
chasers. One sale was withdrawn from
the sales plan , due to a lack of
access across private lands.
Mr. Watts pointed out that tim
ber sold from regular BLM lands
in the Roseburg District contains
a marketing area provision re
quiring that the timber be manu
factured in certain specified areas
of Douglas County, fie explained
that this is a protection to local
communities against the removal
of logs to other areas for manufacture.

4-H Club Makes Plans
For Scrapbook Drive
It was decided by the Dinky

a meeting Jan. 14.
Clippings of their own club's ac

to the collection.
During the meeting, plays and

plement to the lumber Industry.
In some areas the pulp industry
has almost reached a par with pri
mary manufacturing, and the
same can be expected here, be
stated.
Unless i conservation plan Is
inaugurated, the waste products
are utilized, by virtue of scarcity
in lumber, prices will rise out of
reach, it was explained.
Population Possibilities
The growth of Roseburg was also
considered.
Portland's population increased
to 100,000 on the basis of 40 bil
lion feet of timber before any other
industry, had moved into the area,
and ther cities have noted simi
lar development based on avail
able timber supply. Stanton said.
In comparison, the Central Ump
qua Basin contains approximately
40 billion feet of timber and Rose
burg's population could possibly
grow to 75,000 or 100,000.
If the increase in population
does come, the City of Roseburg
will be faced with problems of
police and fire control, as well as
inadequate school facilities, he ex
plained. The traffic arrangement in the
downtown area would also have
to be modified.
Tree Farms Suggested '.
What about agriculture in Doug
las County?
It is time that crops adaptable to
the County's soil and climate be
introduced, Stanton said.
The editor also stressed the Im
portance of utilizing sub-marginal
land. Tree farms on sucn land
would provide a revenue that has
previously been overlooked, he not-ed.
But if any improvements are to
be realized cooperation is neces
sary. Stanton said. It is only
through teamwork that the County
can be. developed to its fullest
extent.
