ly started operation July 1 is ex
pected to supply the answers to
some of the tough timber problems
of Oregon and Iho Northwest in
years to come.
Eighteen related projects are in
cluded in the initial overall pro
gram. More projects will be added in
the future to keep abreast of
changing conditions and needs of
the region's forest industry, ac
cording to Paul M. Dunn, OSC
forestry dean and station director.
Forest research at OSC dates
back to 1927 when the T. J. Starker
post farm was established to com
pare the life of various kinds of
posts and preservative' treatments.
The number and scope of studies
have increased in recent years and
formation of the experiment sta
tion was recommended '.his year ff
to permit greater expansion and
coordination ot projects, u e a n
Dunn said.
The IS projects now under study
include forest regeneration work
covering planting survival and de
velopment; soils projects such as
factors affecting establishment of
seedlings on the Tillamook burn;
aerial photo studies of Douglas fir
bark beetle infection; checks on
effectiveness of fire weatiher sta
tions; control of pine dwarlmistle
toe and Phytophtnora in Port Or-
ford cedar and Douglas ur; com
parison of forestry and pasture
uses for Willamette Valley foot
hill lands; forest taxation; and
testing herbicicdes for control of
brush and weed trees.
Selection of problems to be stud
led is made by the director and a
forest research committee of staff
members. Dr. George H. Barnes
is chairman.
Several of the current projects
are cooperative studies with the
State Board of Forestry. Other co
operating agencies are the U. S.
Forest Service, Oregon Forest
Products Laboratory, OSC Agri
cultural Experiment Station and
various public and private forest
agencies and companies. Much of
the research will be conducted on
the 13,500 acres of OSC forest
lands.
Vast Deposit Of Olivine Ore In Pacific Northwest Area Has High Economic Rating
By A. ROBERT SMITH
News-Review Correspondent
WASHINGTON The Senate
has approved a change in the tax
laws to provide added incentive
for commercial development of a
mountain of valuable ore in the
far northwest corner of the Paci
fic Northwest.
The ore is called olivine, and
the Senate agreed to add it to the
list of minerals subject to the tax
depletion allowance of 23 per cent.
A Seattle firm, ABhcrton Con
struction Co., had informed the
lawmakers that "adding of this
ore to the mine depletion group
may spell the difference between
economically profitable develop
ment of this area and failure due
to the rugged region" in which it
is located.
"We have an eastern firm that
is interested in securing a large
quantity of this olivine ore in their
development program for titan
ium," the company explained.
If this titanium prospect pans

There's a little old Gold Rush railroad at the
eastern foot of the High Sierra. It's part of the
Southern Pacific system. It lies between Mount
Whitney, highest point in the U. S., and Death
Valley, the lowest It's one of the few surviving
narrow-gauge lines left in America, and it's
71 miles long. It's also an important factor in
the economy of the area it serves.
Like the rest of Southern Pacific, it's going
modern in a big way with a brand new, made-to-order
little Diesel locomotive. This replaces
the tiny steam engines which ran the road for
years. They're heading for the last roundhouse.
So sometime this fall, the people who live
in the area will hear a new sound the sturdy
purr of a small but powerful narrow-gauge
Diesel engine, only one-tenth the size of our
regular Diesel giants'.
This new little locomotive is just a tiny part
of Southern Pacific's modernization program.
In fact, we've ordered a total of 1,349 Diesel
units since the war. That averages about one
unit every two days an investment of almost
$215,000,000 in new engines alone.
Diesels haul trains more smoothly, saving
ivear and tear on tracks; they can pull heavier
loads; and they can make longer runs on less
fuel, without stops for watering or servicing.
In short, they help offset increasing operat
ing costs which, whether you're a passenger,
fMDDer or consumer, eventually benefits you.

Here's one place where todays dollar goes further

In the fondly-remembered time of the nickel trolley
and the 2oi T-bone, gasoline for dad's 1925 model
cost about IStf a gnllon (excluding taxes). Sounds
like a bargain yet it really cost more than today's
gasoline. The reason is clear when you keep this
fact in mind: You fill your car's tank with gasoline,
but what you're actually buying is mileagr. Natur
ally, you'd rather pay $1 a gallon for gas that gave
you 100 miles a gallon than buy lOjf gas that deliv
ered only 5 miles to the gallon. And that's why
today's gasoline costs less than motor fuel of 1925
... it gives you mart mU to the dollar. Research
by companies such as Standard has improved
gasoline spectacularly over the years. This better
motor fuel made more efficient auto engines pos
sible, and together they give you up to 50 better
mileage than motorists got in the '20's. On top of
that, competition between oil companies has helped
to hold down gasoline prices. Since 1925, they've
risen only 20 (excluding taxes) while food has
gone up 70, clothing 63, and the cost of living
53. Gasoline is still a bargain. Your money goes
further when it goes for today's finer gasoline that
delivers more miles to the dollar,
