NEWS FOR ENGINEERS
But, here’ s news for the en­
gineers of both commissions:
Many years ago such a channel
was dug along the same course
but the project proved to a flop
for the ever-slftlng sands of
the tieachlands adjacent con­
tinued to restlessly sift to and
fro . Within a short tim e, the
newly dug channel became bog­
ged down with the sands and
boats could no longer navigate
the course.
The course ol the old channel
may s t i l l be traced. It bears
mute evidence as to the fu­
tility of seeking an outlet from
Floras Lake to the waters of
New River by again repeating
the engineering blunder that
occurred those many years ago.
Such a channel would, we be­
lie ve , be of only temporary ser­
vice to the flshermen-boatmen
that today are clamoring for
something to be done In order
to once again restore the boat­
ing facilities that once existed
In the now seemingly forgotten
area that comprise the waters
of Floras Lake, Floras Creek
and New R iver.
What we are wondering now
Is whether or not this task w ill
e v e n t u a l l y be accomplished
through the efforts of either
one, or both— the game and fish
commtsslons— o r, as in t h e
case of the logjam clearance,
w ill a new channel be estab­
lished through the sole efforts
of a group of sportsmen.
JAM S T IL L EXISTS
A huge logjam s till blocks
F lo ras Creek. It has b e e n
cal>ed to the attention of the
Fish and Game Commission.
T o date nothing has been do,.e
about it. So, In view of this
fact, this column wishes once
again to call the attention of
both commissions to that de­
plorable mess that serves to
block the passage ol migrating
fish In the waters of Floras
Creek.

Port Officials
At Hearing
Local port commissioners Ray
Reinke, Ira Tucker, J. B. Kosta
and Frank St. C lair, attended a
com m ittee m eeting in Salem
Tuesday morning at the request
of Rep. Carl Back and heard a
m e m o r i a l authored by him
unanimously approved for intro­
duction to the House of Repre­
sentatives.
The m em orial asks that Con­
gress approve the Port Orford
breakwater b ill and authorize
funds for construction at the
earliest possible date.
P o r t president Reinke said
Back expects to introduce the
m em orial to the House this week
and is confident of its passing.
Back also introduced comm is­
sioners toa general assembly of
the House following the hearing.
Reinke noted that the m em or­
ia l stould have considerable in­
fluence on Congressional action
on the harbor b ill. He added that
Senate hearings on the omnibus
b ill, whichthe local request w ill
be a part of, are expected to
start this month. "We look for
the Pert Orford request to be
heard about the third week of
A p r il," Reinke said, "and we
are making plans toward that
date. "

Stock raisers In Coos and
Curry Counties who use large
amounts of grazing land w ill
be shielded from Increases in
fire portectlon costs In fire
protection districts under a bill
which has passed the House and
is now before the Senate.
House B ill 1525 set forth a
new policy and gives the land
owner protection a g a i n s t spi-
railing fire protection cosls by
placing a ceiling of 4 cents
per acre on all grazing lands
in f i r e protection districts.
G enerally, the b ill w ill not pro­
vide any immediate relief to
landowners hut it Is an Insur­
ance policy to protect them In
the future.
Grazing land owners are now
paying slightly more than 4
cents per acre for fire pro­
tection costs with the celling
at 5 cents. But under the p re-
ent law they could be assess-,
ed more than 5 cents per acre
If the actual fire supression
costs were higher.
There have been years re­
cently when fire protection as­
sessments ran two or three
cents over the 5 cent lim it
because of an increased number
of fires. In 1962, for Instance,
fire protection costs ran 9 cents
per acre because of the many
fires that year.
Under HB1525flreprotectlon
costs over the 4 cent celling
for grazers w ill be covered
by money from the state’ s gen­
eral fund. It is expected that
a b o u t $300,000 to $500,000
would be required from the
general fund.
The reasoning behind general
fund support for fire protection
for private lands Is that the
public is making greater use
of these lands for recreational
purposes. In doing so the pub­
lic is causing a larger share
of the fires on these private
lands. A recent study on the
cause of fires on privately own­
ed forest and grazing lands re­
vealed that over 50% ol the
total number of fires were cau­
sed by parties other than the
owner, even though the study
considered lig h tn in g -c a u s e d
fire s -to be the responsibility
of the private landowner.
These private lands are a
major resource of recreational
and aesthetic value to the whole
state and the public through the
state’s g e n e r a l fund should
assume a share of the respon­
sibility for p r o t e c t i n g these
lands.
M ore land owners are likely
to bring their acreage under
fire protection d istricts with
the enactment of HB 15S5. Many
owners do not partiepate now
because acreage charges could
run much higher than the 5
cent minimum under certain
circumstances. The fear of high
acreage charges would be re ­
moved with the 4 cent ceiling
established by HB 1525.
