Court Asked to
Halt Sustained
Yield Contract
PORTLAND, Jan. 21 - VP) - A
group of lumbermen sired federal
court today to prevent the govern
ment from arranging a 100-year
sustained yield timber cutting con
tract with the Fischer Lumber
company of Marcola.
The suit was filed at the same
time that the government opened
a public hearing in Eugene on the
proposed agreement.
The agreement would place
Oregon St California land adminis
tration tracts and private timber
in the Mohawk river area on a
sustained yield basis, with the
government timber to be sold to
the private firms participating in
the agreement
The suit, filed by George X.
Owen of Eugene and the Western
Association of Lumbermen and
Loggers, contended that such
agreements are monopolistic and
in restraint of trade.
The government signed its first
such agreement last year, on tim
ber near Shelton, Wash. Twelve
similar sustained yields units are
planned for western Oregon.
At the public hearing in Eugene
today, a number of independent
timber operators opposed the Mo
hawk river agreement
State Senator Orville Thomp
son of Albany, who said he was
representing the Linn county
court, asked a change In the boun
daries of the proposed unit Other
wise, he said, "numerous small op
erators in the area who contribute
to the towns in Linn county . . .
would be deprived of O and C
timber."
The unit includes about 24,000
acres of O it C timberland, 18,000
acres of Fischer company land,
and 21.000 acres owned by Wey
erhaeuser, Booth-Kelly, the state
and county; the balance in Linn
county.
Representatives of chambers of
commerce appeared at the Eugene
hearing the Albany chamber op
posing the agreement and the Eu
gene chamber favoring it.
