I This is the gist of a roessaee received from Sen. Guv Cordon, committee member, bv Charles A. Sprague. publisher of The States man, who is chairman of the O & C advisory committee. The committee had gone on record urging a larger aporo priation for the management of these timber lands which cover nearly 2,500.000 acres in western Oregon. Cordon's message is as tollovs: "Am pleased to advise senate appropriations comnvttee has approved increase of $175,000 over house figure for administra tion of O & C making total of $075,000 in the bill as reoorted to the senate. Contract authority for O & C access roads was also increased $100,000, making total of $250,000. Bill now goes to sen ate floor for action and there after to conference for adjust ment of differences between the two houses. Will advise you of final results. I The house appropriation held to the same dollar figure as last year, but owing to automatic sal ary increases and increased cost for contracted fire ; patrol the amount would have forced a cut in staff of the bureau and re striction of operations. "While the amount authorized by the senate committee is not equal to the sums requested by the committee, it will be of great benefit to the government and counties having an interest in timber sales and to those dealing with the bureau," said Sprague after receiving the telegrom from Cordon. "We hope the! senate nd then the house will concur. These valuable lands must be managed so as to increase their yield in trees and revenue. The increased appropriation is really an invest ment which will pay dividends." Griffin Heads Salem Eagles Selby Griffin, 3550 Donald way, is the new president of Willamette aerie.
