Annual Tour Made Possible
Through Assistance Of U.S.
Forest Service Officials
TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP of the Umpqua River Basin
watershed was pointed out in the County surveyor's of
fice before beginning the 150-mile trip through a part
of the Tiller-Jackson Creek-South Umpqua River watershed
area. The OSC class makes a field trip here each year.
SOIL EROSION The results of the destructive powers
of Nature are evidenced here as the visiting OSC students
view an eroded section of a former logging road con
structed in pumice-type soil Gouges to depths of from
20 to 40 feet were cut into the hillside as rain runoff
was allowed to course freely 'down the road. According to
Mike Newton, class instructor, it might have been avoided
had the "cat" operator, on his last trip out of the woods,
merely dropped his blade every 30 feet or sq to build up
a small bar to slow down the cutting force of the runoff.

Portions of the South Umpqua
River watershed were inspected by
over 50 members of an Oregon
State College Watershed Manage
ment course recently.
the triD was directed and spon
sored by Ben Irving, director of
the Douglas County water Kesourc
es Survev. Cooperating in the ven
ture were Vondis Miller, Umpqua
National Forest supervisor, Archie
Craft, district forester of the Bu
reau of Land Management, and Bui
Hallen, director of the Roseburg
Research Center.
Purpose of the field trip was to
acquaint students in the class all
seniors or graduate students in
forestrv with river stage data, wa
tershed management, soils move
ment and water resources conser
vation. According to Mike Newton, re
search forester and instructor of
the class, it has been an annual
event for the class to tour the local
watershed. "Douglas County has
one of the more highly organized
stream survey studies in me state,
he explained.
Men Lauded
"The field trip has been possible
to a large extent only through the
efforts of Ben Irving. He and Von
dis Miller of the Umpqua National
Forest have been exceedingly co
operative in providing facilities, in
formation and in the laying out
of an itinerary," he continued.
Relating the watershed manage
ment activities at work to informa
tion and materials brought out in
the classroom, the field trip point
ed out typical problems the young
foresters will lace wnen tney leave
school and begin work in the field.
Watershed and forest manage
ment are not only concerned with
forest covers, but also involve the
protection of forests and soils
through manipulation of the forest
cover. As an example, an improp
erly constructed logging skid road
may cause erosion of tons of soil
per acre in the passage of only
several winters. On the other hand,
it takes Nature about a thousand
years to provide only an inch of
soil on an acre.
Subjects Vital
Population increases and indus
trial expansion throughout all the
Pacific Northwest have made wa
ter resources and their steady de
pletion a question of vital import
ance today. However the millions
of dollars of damage brought about
by winter flooding and the then in
sufficient summer flow with its de
mands for water greater than sup
ply, is a solvable problem," Irv
ing said.
Stemming originally from the de
structive 1950 flood on "the entire
Umpqua system, Douglas County
began initial research into the prob
lem that exists locally. It is now
the only county in the state to have
conducted such extensive studies
as it has, and one of the first in
the country to do so.
The first constructive step was
made in 1953 when the county budg
eted $5,000 to be used for surveys
on the Umpqua River to determine
corrective measures. The state
legislature appropriated an addi
tional $5,000, and a suggestion was
made that the federal government
match the $10,000.
Investigation Set '
It was not until November 1954
that word was received that the
Bureau of Reclamation would con
duct an investigation on the river
system matching the county and
state funds. Earlier the same year.
Douglas County authorized and set
up on its own the Douglas County
Water Resources Survey to collect
data and determine action neces
sary to control the waters of the
Umpqua basin for flood control
and conservation.
The Douglas County Water Re
sources Survey, in cooperation with
the U.S. Geological Survey, has
now some 28 stream gauging sta
tions established on the river sys
tem. And. in cooperation with the
National Forest and U.S. Weather
Bureau, it has placed over 30 pre
cipitation gauging stations through
out the county.
Information Helpful
Through these instruments, and
a semi-monthly silt sampling pro
gram, the survey is furnishing
data to state and federal govern
ment agencies aiding in the solv
ing of the water problem.
Pilot investigations, feasability
investigations and other studies
are being carried out for the plac
ing of dams on the river system.
All this information and more
was pointed out to the forestry stu
dents on their trip here in the hope
that they, when they take over the
work of the men now in the field,
can find new and possibly better
answers to water problems.

Pentagon Draws
Solon's Criticism
WASHINGTON (AP)-Chairman
Overton Brooks, D-La., of the
House Space Committee has
criticized the Pentagon for appar
ently bypassing the National
Space Council in giving the Air
torce a virtual monopoly in mili
tary space affairs:
Brooks also chided the Defense
Department for "foot dragging"
in making officials available to
explain how the order will affect
the Army and the Navy.
Brooks voiced his criticisms at
the opening of a hearing called
to get to the bottom of the direc
tive issued March 6 by Secretary
of Defense Robert S. McNamara.
The secretary's decision overruled
objections from two of the three
military services and apparently
failed to receive full approval
from the chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff.
Vice President Lyndon B. John
son presides over the space coun
cil of which the secretary of de
fense and the civilian space ad
ministrator are members.
Brooks said he was not chal
lenging the wisdom of McNa
mara's decision, but he said the
committee must get a full under
standing of a decision "whose con
sequences may be so far-reaching."
Sweetland Opposes
New Liquor Budget
SALEM (AP) Sen. Monroe
Sweetland. D-.Milwaukic, today
voted against the budget for the
state Liquor Control Commission.
He appealed for a greater share
of liquor revenues to go to mental
health.
Speaking specifically about the
failurG to get funds for the second
phase of Dammasch Hospital at
Wilsonvillc, Sweetland said this
money should be more closely tied
to cure ills it creates.
Sweetland said that one-half the
commitments at the state hospital
in Salem are voluntary and one
third of these are for alcoholic
causes. He said the state sets
aside less than one-fourth of 1 per
cent of its liquor profits for re
habilitation. Oregon, Sweetland said, ties to
gether successfully its gasoline
and road use money for highway
construction and it ought to do the
same in using liquor revenues for
rehabilitation.
Sweetland said only in a very
small way has the cause been re
lated to the effect in mental health.
"Where could we begin better
than in mental health institu
tions," he added.

The department pointed out that

project was a joyous experience, as her smile indicates.
She said America has become many things to her, friendli
ness and democrocy high on the list. She is shown here in
line for lunch of hot dogs ond hot chocolate. Planting
took place on 40 acres on Paradise Creek. Planters
come from Elkton, Gardiner and Reedsport. The planting
day is held each year under the sponsorship of the Lower
Umpqua Chamber of Commerce, federal timber agencies
in the area ond forest industries. (All pictures by Dawn
