SIXTY TONS OF WOOD are gently rolled on to a waiting truck bed as a 40-foot section
of Douglas Fir storts on its journey to Centennial Exposition grounds in Portland. In on
effort to preserve the bark, the log received special treatment both in felling and bucking.
One cot eases the log on to, the waiting truck bed while another acts os a "back stop."
Later the cats, one towing and the other pushing, helped the truck move its load from a
specially constructed trough to the railroad which transported it the rest of the way. W.
G. (Pokey) Allen, Roseburg, winner of numerous contests in bucking, helped in the oper
ation. The log, 9 feet 6 inches in diameter and over 200 feet high when cut, was felled
by a Georgia Pacific crew on o BLM timber troct in Coos County. (Dick Gilmon Photo,

The committee voted 7115 Fri

this decision in an acrimonious I
five-hour session of the group but
lost by votes ranging from 68-37 to

Brown will get an early chance
to display himself to the conven

speech. It was with just such a
speech that Adlai E. Stevenson

Probably nobodv in California
thinks that Brown is a serious can

can control California's powerful
convention vote on the first ballot.
After that he can attempt to throw
the state's important delegation be

(Kenneth Barneburg, Douglas
County superintendent of schools,
said today ha didn't know offhand
the disposition of this fund. Being
considerably smaller than federal
forest receipts, such as O fc C

Major legislation to set aside
lands for school benefit was enact

a later trade with Siuslaw Nation

Silver said Friday several wit

Al Jaffe, who walked in on a
holdup at a Brooklyn luggage
shop early this month, scoflcd at
the holdup man's gun as unreal,
and was shot and killed. His
slayer was identified as a Negro
between 25 and 30.
Monday the Campanella bov
was presented in Children's Court
on a charge of being a juvenUe

permitted the current cut-and-sale

ln 1956 the forestry unit began
an inventory of the lands, and oth

the necessity of building roads into
the area, needed to be overcome
and developed before the first
widespread selling of the timber,
which occurred last vear.
Turning back to tne over-au

the harvest has been under ad
