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.
