MINES AND TIMBER
Charles V. Stanton
Secretary of Interior Douglas McKay is reported from
Washington to be asking for legislation long needed in this
section of Oregon. ,
, McKay is said to have recommended passage of a bill
Introduced by Representative D'Ewart, Montana, to define
surface rights vested in locators of mining claims on pub
lic lands.
The bill is expected to meet much opposition from the
mining bloc, which has opposed similar proposals in the
past. Growing importance of timber, however, is expected
to create greater interest on the part of conservationists
In favor of the measure.
Only a few years ago stumpage was of comparatively
minor value. Consequently there was little concern when
patents to mineral sites also conveyed ownership of tim
ber. Abuse until late years was confined principally to ac
quisition of summer homesites. ' A few such homesites
were obtained on the North Umpqua River through mineral
filings. The practice was much more prevalent on t h e
Rogue River, where a large number of summer homes and
resorts were located on lands of questionable mineral
value. " "
But at that time interest in the Rogue River Valley
was centered on building up tourist trade. There was vir
tually no demand for stumpage. Consequently public
sympathy was with the locators.
Picture) Now Changed
Increases in stumpage values, however, have changed
the picture. In late years we have seen hundreds of min
eral filings used as ruses to obtain title to timber. Each
such filing ra(3CJ a dispute. Does the land actually con
tain minerals of sufficient' value to justify the claim?
; Each case must be investigated by a federal examiner.
The mining bloc has been successful in keeping down ap
propriations tor examiners, making the field staff inade
quate to evaluate claims promptly.
Another factor is involved. There has been intense
pressure from Washington in recent years to prevent any
invasion of .the public domain. Examiners reportedly have
filed negative reports against some legitimate properties.
Where locators have attempted to fight for their rights,
they have been harassed by protracted hearings, "lost"
records, reviews, etc!, until forced to surrender by finan
cial inability to prolong the fight. One such locator, we
are Informed on good authority, was put to a cost of more
than $30,000 when he attempted to patent property from
which ha already had taken minerals worth approximately
that same amount of money.
v .
Definition Needed
Southern Oregon promises to become a rich mineral
center. Installation of the smelter at Riddle by the Hanna
Company assures a huge nickel development. Chrome re
duction plants are being installed in southern Douglas
County. The Rogue-Umpqua divide is known to be rich in
many minerals.
This same area also is, and will continue to be, one of
the nation's leading timber producers. The major part of
the timber supply there is on public domain. Public do
main timber cannot be properly managed if too freely in
termingled with privately owned tracts. Nor should the
federal government, as trustee for the public, permit tim
ber to be stolen by the ruse of mineral filings.
Clearly a definition for surface and sub-surface rights
must be obtained. Given such definition, there is no rea
son why both the timber and mining industries cannot suc
cessfully operate in the same area.
We can see no reason why the locator of mining prop
erty is entitled to ownership of surface timber. He should,
we believe, be permitted to use such timber as he may
need for his cabins and mine structures. But cutting
should be directed by federal timber administrations to
prevent damage to management plans.
There is definite need for some such legislation as that
proposed. It should be designed to encourage both the
mining and timber industries. It should not discourage de
velopment of legitimate mineral bodies located on public
lands.
NEW YORK W) For some years a group of scholar
scientists at Yale University has been studying the problem
of what people do to alcohol and vice versa, and now they
are investigating Hangovers.
Behind tills probe is a merciful
Idea the wish to find a cure
for hangovers.
It can't b done. Prank Mcrri
well was unable to find a hang
over remedy during the period
when he made Yale famoui. Tom
Swift and the Rover llnys, I have
hcaYd, spent their adult years in
quest of an electric or atomic an
swer to the hangover, and found
no answer.
Even Toots Slior, the restaurant
owner who collects the more in
teresting hangovers of his clients
and pastes them in his memory
book as a hobby, can recommend
no morning after remedy better
than "Bloody Mary," which is
Vodka tinted pink with tomato
juice. Very popular with advertis
ing men.
But taxing another drink, the
return to "the hair of the dog
that bit you," cannot be classified
as either a cure or a remedy for
a hangover. It can only he re
garded as the compounding of a
felony, and the postponement of
a Just punishment.
Monta I Giaitfo Stymltd
You wlil notice that neither liar
vard nor the Massachusetts Insti
tute of Technology is pursuing
the wiu-o-inc-wisp lure ot trying

One can only say to the true
blue researchers at Vale, "On,
men, on!" But that is like egging
on a bird dog to sniff for quail

can get is practice.
There are two reasons whv they
will never find a real medical cure
for a hangover.
First, they stalled too late. They
don't have the material to work
on. The 24-karai genuine, double
throb vibrating handover is a
thing of the past. It went out with

By FRANK CORMIER
WASHINGTON I Senate

some Americans is oneratinz with

the work of U.N. agencies.
The Senate Internal Security
subcommittee, reporting Saturday,
recommended that "evidence of
Soviet use of international agencies
... as a cover lor espionage on
American soil" be sent to Secre
tary of State Dulles as a basis for
a possible protest to Russia.
Reviewing an investigation for
possible Communists among Amer
icans on the U.N. staff, the nine
member subcommittee reported.
"there are strong indications that
this 'Fife- Column' also includes
citizens of other non-Communist
countries.
It urged President Eisenhownr
to instruct the American U.N.
delegation "to press for thorough
review of the entire U.N. personnel
from non-Communist countries"
and to "co-operate'with delegations
from such countries for the pur
pose of eliminating" personnel who
are uommunisis or subject to
Communist discipline."

Got His Rod Broast" is number
fivo in the sorios of Umpqua Ind
ian Legonds, told by Mrs. Ellon
Crispin.)
A long, Ion? time ago there was
a robin family. Robin's wife laid
just one egg Robin was proud of
this egg. The egg hatched a small
bird. Mother and father Robin
thought he was handsome. When
he grew up he was naughty, that
bird. He was vain He wanted ali
the animal people to look at him.
He was a naughty boy robin. No
body liked him. He liked himself.
In the early morning he would
wake up and sing. The animal
people did not like his singing.
They wanted to sleep. Coon hunt
ed all night.
He wanted to sicep all day.
- He told Robin to be quiet.
Robin said. "Who wants to be
still on a nice morning. 1 will
sing." Hp sang louder than ever,
that Robin. Pool mother Coon
could not sleep. Robin looked
around. He saw Black Crow with
his head under his wing, lie flew
over and jumped on that person's
back.
Robin said, "Get up. Get up. 1
Crow said. "Go away. Go away.
I want to sleep."
Robin looked down in the pond.
He saw a bird. He did not know
what to do. He said, "1 will go
down and sing to him."
Robin flew down over the water.
There was no bird there. Robin
looked into the water.
He saiJ. "That is just me fly
ing over the water. '
Robin flew to th shore. He
stamped on the ground. He listen
ed. He heard a worm. He dug up
that worm. He took the worm
home.
He said to his mother, "I brought
you a worm."
Mother Robin was glad. She
told her husband Her husband
told her he thought the boy might
grow up good.
Young Robin flew around until
he found the choke cherry patch
of Meadow I.ark Robin knew he
should not touch those choke cer
ries. This was where alt the ani
mal people and birds got fruit for
their choke-cherry bread.
They were nice and red, those
cherries. Robin said I will eat
just one." He ate one. Then he
ate more. Wt ate and ate. He
could not hold any more. Cherry
juice ran out that robin's mouth.
It ran over his breast.
He flew to the pond. lie said.
"What will I do? All the bird and
animal people will know I have
been eating the choke-cherries.
They will hurt me. He washed
himself. That Robin did that. He
wasnea a long time. The red color
wouia not come otr. He was
scared. He did not know what to
do.
He went home and told h I s
mother what he had done. His
mother was ashamed to know her
ooy wouia no such a thing.
She said, "You will ahvavs have
to stay inside. Wi must hide vou
from other people. She hid that
boy for a little while. Young Rob

He flew away, red breast and all
He went to Blupjav. He told
him what he had done.
Bluejay said. ' Show me where
the choke - cherr.es grow. 1 want
some too," Bluejay said that.
Robin would not do that thing
Bluciay was mad. He flew about
and told all the bird people what
Robin had done. Robin went to
Wolf's wife. He told her his trou
ble. She felt sorrv for that boy
She licked Robin Yhreast with her
tongue. The red would not come
off. Rahy wolf said. "How pretty

That did not make Robin feel
good again. He was ashamed, that
young man. He did not sing any
more. He staved at Wolf's house
He plaved with Baby Wolf all sum

WASHINGTON (NEA) There
are some 75 principal proposal!
listed in President Eisenhower's
middle-of-the-road program. These
are the recommendations which
the President has made for new
legislation in his various state of
the union, budget, economic and
special messages to Congress.
If you break down some of the
major, items like the new tax pro
gram, the number of presidential
proposals can be run up to 175
or even 5075. There were, for in
stance, 25 specific tax proposals
in the President's budget message
One, of the 25 called for general
reform of the tax structure. The
bill which the House Ways and
Means Committee finally brought
out called for 3300 changes in the
tax law. So the numbers game
is a little silly and the count of
75 is realistic.
Tho important thing about this
listing is that as of April 1, the
Congress has completed action on
only five of the President's pro
posals. In all, Congress has passed, and
the President has signed, some
20 bills into law this year. But I
three fourths of them were minor
measures originating in Congress.
The five requested by the Presi
dent can be checked off easily.
Extending the Korean war miss
ing persons act to July 1, 1956.
Suspending until 1958 limitations I
on size of the armed forces.
Increasing tho borrowing pow-
er of Commodity Credit Corp. 1
Ratification of the mutual so-!
cunty pact with -Korea.
Revision and extension of ex
cise tax rates expiring in April,
The President and his party
leaders have intimated that the
election of a Republican Congress
in 1954 depends on the enactment
of a "middle-of-the-road" pro
gram that will he "good for all!
America." GOP publicity men i
have also suggested that ' cam-1
paign orators put more emphasis
on the constructive achievements
of the administration and less
time on McCarthyism.
If this advlco Is any good, it will
behoove the Republican leadership
and its following in Congress to
get busy and produce. Otherwise,
there may be nothing constructive
to talk about.
A check of the legislative calen
dars reveals this further status of
the Eisenhower program as of
April 1:
Fifteen measures have been
passed by one chamber but not
the other. Six have passed the Sen
ate but not the House. They are:
The St. Lawrence seaway. Im
provement of conservation prac
tice on public grazing lands. Con
struction of new tankers for mer
chant marine. Modification of Se
curities and Exchange law. Self
government for District of Colum
