This Bureau manages ths revested railroad and wagon road land grants in West ern Oregon of approximately 2,500,000 acres. This decision opens the way for an enduring forest industry, based on sound private enter prise. With well-planned cooperative sustained yield units, remanufacturing plants can multi ply the number of jobs available. Slabs snd sawdust can be worked up into saleable pro ducts; low grade logs salvaged and marketed. With this increased Industry, population will grow. The tax base will expand and stabilize. Under unified management of forest lands, recreation facilities can bo improved. Many points are still In adjustment.
