After the plan is prepared, it Is submitted to the District Advisory Board for its consideration and suggestions. The advisory board is comprised of representatives of the lumber industry, labor, agricul ture, livestock, mining, recreation, wildlife and others. Processing Rule Modified As a general rule, no timber is offered for sale unless the bureau can assure equal access for all prospective buyers. The bureau requires that the pri mary processing of the timber take place within the limits of the es tablished marketing area in which it is located. An exception to this year sal vage timber that does not receive a bid at the advertised sale time. It may be processed in any OStC marketing area if purchased un der the 90-day provisions of the rebulations. The regulations permit the sign ing ouicer to accepi dius, uunug a 90-day period following the first sale date, for any tract not sold at the specified sale date provided there has been no substantial change in the appraised value of the timber. Any tract classified as green timber which is sold under the 90-day provisions will still carry the marketing area restrictions. This will be the eighth annual timber sale plan prepared by the human in which the location, es timated volume and proposed time of sale will be shown for each tract that is proposed for sale during the coming caienoar year.

Collections for the fiscal year jusi enaca totaled $85,171,132, compared with $56,822,219 for 1954-55, Commissioner Ray Smith said. Official figures confirmed ear ner reports that the state was heading for an estimated $21,000, 000 surplus by the end of the bicn- nium next July 1. Tax officials said Thursday the surplus as of June 30 was between $15,000,000 and $16,000,000 and if current con ditions continue an additional $5.. 000,000 to $6,000,000 would accrue this year. amun auriouieu me increase to the 45 per cent surtax on personal incomes, reduction of personal ex emption and dependency credits, increased withholding rales and belter economic conditions.

Storm Bypasses Roseburg; Hits Glendale Hard Roseburg was untouched by two storms which swirled around it ex cept for a few flickers of lightning but other areas around the county felt some effects. Six spot forest fires were dis covered in the eastern and south ern parts of the county and rain, wind and lightning struck with con siderable force in these areas. A report from the California Ore gon Power Co. installations up the iNorlft umpqua snowed mat a con siderable amount of rain had fall en in a short time to roil up the tributary streams of the North Umoaua. The report said the rain reached cloudburst proportions. It said everything in those upper reaches was awash, causing exten sive mud in all tributaries. The same type of flash storm hit the Glendale area about 7 p.m. Thursday night. The city power system and parts of the telephone svstem were temporarily put out of service, according to corres pondent Mrs. G. B. rox. She re ported that lightning hit some sec tion of the Cooco line and brought the city into total darkn ess momen tarily. She quoted a uopco repre sentative of saying fuses in the city substation had blown. Power was restored to most of the city in 15 to 20 minutes, but it took some time before the source of the trouble in the vicinity of the Rexall Drug Store was found. It proved to be a blown transformer fuse. Mrs. Fox also said that it was reported Copco men were called to Sunny Valley where lightning had struck trees and dropped them across power lines. Robert Jones, manager of the Glendale Telephone Co., said 10 telephone lines had been put out of service. Repairmen were working on them today. The Roseburg office of the U.S. Weather Bureau said two separ ate storms hit the area, one start ing at about 6 p.m. and the other shortly after 9 p.m. Lightning started late Thursday over the southern Cascades and ranged south over the Siskiyous. The thunder occurred in both storms. Rain was also noted about five miles south of Roseburg about 9 p.m. in heavy showers. In its five - day forecast, the Weather Bureau reports cooling trends with maximums averaging about five degrees below normal and ranging mostly from 75 to 80 maximums to 50 minimums. A few more scattered showers and pos sible thunder showers are expected. Money Sought For Major Highways In Douglas (Continued From Page One) Liquor Raid On Dance Nabs 18 Boys, 5 Cirls ALBANY, Ore. 11 A raid by state liquor agents at a dance hall Wednesday night resulted in the arrest of 18 boys and 5 girls on charges of illegal possession of liquor. They were among the crowd of several hundred at the Cotton woods dance hall on Highway 20 cast of Albany. The 23 youths were lodccd in the Albany jail. There were 13 of them over 18 years of age, and they were per mitted to bail themselves out for $50 each. The others, under 18 years, were held by juvenile au thorities until their parents pro vided bail. Those picked up listed their homes at Salem. Oregon City Bend. Corvallis and Eugene. They said they had gone to the dance hall to hear the music ot rats Domino and his band. ager George Farrell and Percy Croft, representing the chamber, made the trip. Costs Estimated The state highway engineers, in proposing the new South Umpqua Bridge, estimated its cost at $2, 655,000. It would connect the down town one-way grid system with the relocated Highway 99 and would carry four lanes of traffic. The north unit of the R o s e Stcphens couplet would cost $269, 000, the engineers estimated. Func tion of the couplet would be to speed northbound and southbound traffic through the edge of the business district. The couplet, if constructed ac cording to state plans, would car ry southbound traffic on Stephens Street between the intersections of Diamond Lake Boulevard and Lane Avenue. Rose Street would handle northbound traffic. Tentatively, plans are to take off all curbside parking on Steph ens Street south of Lane if the job is approved and completed. That would allow four-lane traffic to Tun on Stephens. Stephens would be widened on the grade at the north limits of the city to han dle four lanes of traffic. Much of the cost in both projects would be in acquisition of right-of-way, engineers estimate. N. Umpqua Objective Stated The North Umpqua projects re quested include the surfacing of ine road between Steamboat and Apple Creek and the grading and realignment of the route between Apple Creek and the grading and realignment of the route between Apple Creek and Coepland Creek. It had been understood that the Bureau of Public Roads was to nave let a surfacing contract on the Steamboat - Apple Creek sec tion this month, but Judge Hill said that apparently isn't to be done, according to information he has from the U.S. Forest Service. The request for work on the mountain highway actually is a plea for a cooperative effort with the Forest Service and BPR to get the work on th two sections completed. Judge Hill said he understands the BPR has let a contract to gravel the highway between Steam boat and Apple Creek. PORTLAND 11 The speedup in road-building, to result from federal aid, will start in Oregon next month. ine state Highway Commission, now in session here, said up to 214 million dollars in road proj ects can be up for bid next month because the federal road bill turned out to be larger than the commission had expected. W. C. Williams, deputy highway engineer, said there also will be about 50 million dollars for road projects in Oregon next year, of Benefit Varietv Show To Offer Cala Program Variety will be the by-word when Laff-o-Rama, billed as "your home town circus," opens at 8:13 p.m. tonight for the first of two per formances.
