'Use Coins' Cards
In order to help business
men w it h their coin needs,
F irs t National Bank of Oregon
has Issued cards which ask cus
tomers to pay for goods and
services In change rather than
currency.
Designed for display around
cash registers at every type
of business establishment, the
attractive cards are potential
aids to merchants and others
who are faced with a dwindling
supply of coins.
The c u r r e n t coin demand,
blamed on hoarders and the in
creasing use of coin-operated
vend'ng machines, Is expected
to Increase with the approach
of the Christm as shopping sea

The cards w ill lie available
at any F irs t National Bank of

Timber Stand Improvements

The Gold Beach Ranger D is

precom m erclal thinning, com

sales are relatively new for this
locality. The sales are the be

The In itial sales are located
around Wildhorse Ridge and
Elk R ive r because the areas
have extensive stands of young
trees. As the program expands,
sales w ill be located throughout
the d is tric t.

The object of thinning Is to
remove the surplus trees at
the e a rlie s t possible age so
that potential crop trees have

Is g e n e r a l l y restricted to
excessively stocked stands of
less than 70 years of age. Re

those trees that would die na

Preco m m ercial thinning con
sists of thinning stands In which
the sizes of the trees are too
s m a l l to be of com merclal
value, usually trees less than 6
Inches In diam eter at breast
height. Excess trees are gen
e ra lly thinned with power saws
having short bars or brush
blades.
T h ree or four thinning con
tra c ts , totalling approximately
200 acres, w ill be advertised

October or ea rly November.
A field show-me trip Is planned
fo r 8:30 a.m . Oct. 22 to show
prospective contractors m ark

C om m ercial thinning is be
lieved to be p ractical In stands
averaging about 18 Inches In
d iam eter. It may be feasible In
stands having diam eters down
to 12 Inches. Com m ercial thin

Is proposed for the Elk River

approxim ately 7,000 acres of
young, com m ercial-sized tim

O ver story r e m o v a l sales
consist of harvesting the mature

overtops dense stands of young-

these sales Is to harvest the
mature volume and to remove

to provide more light and m ol-

t r e e s . A fte r t h e overstory
tim b er Is removed, the young-

order to remove those trees

Logging overstory sales re
quire medium to sm all tracto rs

Timber Bidding
Gets More Study
The Bureau of Land Man
agement has i n f o r m e d Con
gressman Robert B. Duncan
t h a t the Department of In
t e r io r ’ s policy of 10% of tim
ber sales to be on sealed bids
has not gone Into effect and Is
receiving further study and
analysis, the Congressman an
nounced last week.
"T h is Is good news,” Duncan
said. ‘ I had been advised that
the Department had decided to
adopt this policy. I appreciate
the willingness of the Depart
ment to take a second look and
to consult more fully with the
tim b er Industry of Oregon and
the Northw est.”
" O r a l and sealed bidding p ro
cedures w ill be on the agenda
at the Oct. 22 meeting of the
0 4 C Advisory Board at P o rt
lan d," Duncan said. "A ssistant
Secretary of the In te rio r for
Public Land M a n a g e m e n t ,
H a rry R. Anderson, w ill attend
the meeting.”
" I hope that the Oregon tim
ber Industry takes this oppor
tunity to acquaint Secretary An
derson with Its experience with
both form s of bidding, that c u r
rently In use and the sealed
bidding practice abandoned fol
lowing W orld War n ,” Duncan
" T h e re are obvious problems
with both systems of bidding,”
Duncan said, "but the burden of
proof of superiority of one over
the other rests with the ad
vocates of change. There Is no
evidence to Indicate that sealed
bidding would be better eith er
from the Government’ s or the
tim ber purchasers’ point of
view, and there Is evidence
and experience to give serious
credence to the belief that It
would not be b e tte r.”
Duncan had w ritten to BLM

Washington taking Issue with the
conclusions of the General Ac
counting Office report on tim b er
purchase bidding procedures in
which sealed bidding was re c
ommended. In the letter to Stod
dard on Sept. 9, 1965, Duncan
wrote:
"T h is d e c i s i o n should be
based on evidence. The GAO
report spends a page and a
half reciting p rio r conclusions
and comments of previous re
ports which add no fu rth er
evidence for a change. They
are simply conclusions In sup
port of a conclusion.
"A n occasional sealed bid,
based upon good and sufficient
reasons, would be w ell within
the law and the regulations and
might be sound policy. An a r
b itra ry 10%, o r any other fixed
figure, does not seem to me
to be justified by the facts. I
urge the Bureau to reconsider
Its decision.”
