14 The S talesman, Salem, Oregon, Wednesday. May 21. 1952 Sardine Creek Burn Timber Goes Abegging Salvage timber offerings in the Sardine Creek burn area near I -troit failed to attract bids Tuesday In a U.S. Bureau of Land Man agement auction here. But five tracts of other timber old for a total price of $670,440 for 25.640.000 board feet. G. F. Home, assistant Salem district forester, conducted the sale. He said some sealed bids may come in within the next five days on some of the five tracts, 8,960. 000 feet, not sold yesterday. He pointed out that Douglas fir in the 1S151 burn was given a higher ap praisal figure than in ether sale area, but that that was du i to a short haul, lack of need for road construction, high quality and large size of much of the timber, of which most was not killed by the fire. Chief competitive bidding was for a 4.275,000 board feet tract in the Hillsboro watershed, where Harrison-Heisler and Son and four other firms pushed the price of Douglas fir from an appraisal of $24.35 per thousand to $41.56, re sulting in a price of $154,000, com pared to a total appraisal of $91,447. Lulay Bros. Lumber Co. of Stayton won in bidding for 6,305,000 board feet near Crab tree, at a price of $167,492. Largest tract sold was 10,195,000 feet near Black Rock In Polk County to Willamette Valley Lum ber Co. of Dallas, for the ap praised price of $241,406. Others going at appraisal were 3,645,000 feet of salvage in Tillamook Coun ty to Aberdeen Plywood Co. for $63,605 and 620,000 feet of sal vage in Benton County to Cor vallis Lumber Co. for $9,297. Horse Show Continuance Up to McKay It is not likely there will be a horse show at this year's state fair next SeDtember unless Gov. Doug las McKay overrules the State Emergency Board and grants one of two requests for emergency ap propriations disapproved by the board at a recent meeting here. At the emergency board meeting Dr. E. B. Stewart, Fair Commis sion Chairman, requested either an appropriation from the Governor's emergency fund of $100,000 to cover the cost of constructing a new horse show barn or $35,000 to cover the cost of building a series of ramps from the stadium, ex tending over the horse stalls and out of the building. Stewart's request followed a le cent order of the State Fire Mar shal that certain improvements be made prior to the 1952 State Fair. The present State Emergency Board has only advisory powers and Governor McKay can either accept or reject its recommendations.
