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.

Tax Collections
By State Reveal
$30 Million Cain
SALEM (l Oregon's income
and corporation excise tax collec
tions for 1955-56 were nearly 30
million dollars above the previous
year, the state Tax Commission
reported Thursday.
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.
Smaller amounts came from
placing public utilities under the
corporation excise lax for the
first time. Smith said.
Personal income tax collections
reached $68,779,863, a gain of
$25,984,504 or 60.7 per cent over
the preceding year. The withheld
part of personal income tax
ceipts increased from $18,050,540
O S24.Z44.503.
Corporation excise tax collec
tions totaled $16,382,477 in 1955-56,
an increase of 16.8 per cent over
the previous year. Included in the
increase was $94,684.74 paid in by
public utilities.
The now corporation income tax
produced collections of $6,680, but
receipts from this tax are expect
ed to increase rapidly, Smith said.
Many corporations wilh probable
tax liabilities have not filed re
turns, but the audit section of the
commission is giving this matter
its immediate attention, he said.

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.

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.
