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

to setting up a sustained yield for.

Immediate action is taken to re

Ellsworth's Aide Advises
"When a constituent writes a letter to his congressman,
it is the most important thing that person can think of to
solve his problem, "Hoden S. Garber told a large gathering
at the Chamber of Commerce meeting Monday. He added :

$150 FINE
John Jewell, 33, Portland, was

Garber. Ellsworth's personal sec
retary since the congressman was
elected to office, has served in
Washington for the last 20 years.
Outlining the duties of the "con
gressional office," Garber listed
personal' mail as the most impor
tant duty of the office. Legislative
and departmental mail receive les
ser priorities because their- nature
usually does not require such
.-4-
prompt answer. He - emphasized
that although given less prompt at
tention, they realized it. was def
initely very important. ; '
Next in priority in the congres
sional office, the veteran of Captol
Hill said that "departments of gov
ernment" . followed in importance
of duty. Clearing administrative
matters and expediting these
matters fill most of the work in
this field.
Research takes up much of the
rest of their time, he said, but
filing must not be forgotten,, he
added. Filing space is available in
the congressional office and much
use is made of it. "Research ser
vice" is available to all congress
men at the Library of Congress for
use in connection with their office.

Canadians Held Here
On Auto Theft Charge
Two Canadians are being 'held
in the Douglas County, jail on
charges of larceny of an automo
bile. 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.
