Tues., Oct. 21, 1952 Timber , Development : Needs Access Roads (Continued from Page One) management will permit in order to make room, as rapidly as pos eible; for healthy production etands. However, many of these mature stands are inaccessible from either a physical or economic standpoint. So the need of access roads becomes very real. Two-thirds of the volume of com mercial standing timber in Doug las County is either old or second growth Douglas fir. Shasta red fir occupies about 12 per cent of the standing timber region and 7.8 per cent is sugar pine. These three dominating species are followed by hemlock, ponderosa pine and in cense cedar. From a quantity standpoint the other important softwood species in the commer cial standing timber are western red cedar, white fir, white pine and lodgepole pine in order of vol ume. Hardwoods represent only 0.7 per cent.- -i Annual Lumber Production i The estimated aggregate lum ber production annually, by the 166 sawmills located in the county ', is 859,907,000 board feet Scribner rule. Much of the rough lumber from the smaller sawmills is dis posed of to the remantffacturing ; plants located in Roseburg and, : other industrial centers in the county. These plants cut the lum ber into popular sizes for construc tion work, face it on four sides, and ship it in carlots to all sec tions of the United States. These remanufacturing plants constitute another complete industrial clas sification that has come into the county since the forest industry was started Into .development on a major scale. Douglas County is quite fortunate in having in its timber inventory a variety of softwood species for manufacturing lumber and lumber products. It was pointed out by Chester O. Broders, in his eco nomical survey of the Inland UmD- qua Basin published in 1951, that this is a distinct advantage to the area since it opens up a broader scope oi marKcts. Furthermore, the area is favor ed by having a timber land own ership pattern which is conducive to setting up a sustained yield for. est management program for the greater part of the forest area in Douglas County. In addition, if Immediate action is taken to re duce the cutting rate on the private lands, and Jncrea.se the cutting rate on the public lands, there is an ample resource base to sup port several new secondary wood usine industries In Roseburr and other commercial and industrial centers of the county. t Training Meets Start For Wool Dress Workshop Training meets are well' under way for County home extension units' wool dress workshop, re ports Betty Jane Metzler, County home extension agent.

Lawrence Richard Blair, 19, and Emerald Marfan Haire, 26, both of Saskatchewan, Canada, were arrested by state patrolmen at 11:30 p.m. Monday on Reuben Rd. in a car reported as stolen from Canada. Consressman Ellsworth, although authorized six on his payroll, em ploys only four, Garber said. Stat utes authorize a total of six and a minimum of three. The greying congressional sec retary said that no one can know everything that goes on in Washing ton but the mark of a good secre tary is to "know where to find any information needed." They use the telephone to expedite matters more quickly as mail correspondence is often delayed in red tape. Garber closed his talk by telling the members of the Chamber the "office day" of a congressman. His office opens at 8:30 a.m. The congressman has to attend com mittee meetings often daily at 10 a.m. House sessions begin at noon and last until four or five in the afternoon. The congressional office usually closes at 5:30, but the congressman often has to work late in the night studying legislation or meeting with constituents.
