Lumber Deal Goes Through
Blyth It Co., investment bankers, reported
this week their success in selling the major
portions of the big Dant It Russell industrial
empire. The overall deal is said to reach the
f 100 million mark. Principal item sold was
the Coos Bay Lumber Co. to the Georgia-Pa
cific Corporation (or an estimated $70 mil
lion. The shipping lines owned by Dant and
Russell are being sold to Jack Dant for i re
ported $16 million: Left for further disposal
re the Fir-Tex plant at St. Helens, certain
lumber remanufacturing plants and a lumber
marketing organization.
Announcement that the big mill at Coos
. Bay would resume operations after the vaca
tion period, on July 17, brought relief to Cons
Bay, where fears had been expressed that the
mill might be closed.
How was the purchase financed by Georgia
Pacific? The Wall Street Journal quotes 0. It
Cheatham, president, as saying it was financed
in part through private placement of $11 mil
lion of 15-year four and a quarter convertible
subordinated debentures, and by long-term
bank loans geared to the harvesting of the ac
quired timber and sales of a portion of the,
timber under guaranteed rutting contracts.
This indicates that C P will sell parts of the
big stand of timber It has acquired in the deal.
The Coos Bay Times whose reporter, Stan
MarUndale, dug into rumors and came up with
the first report of the pending transaction,
attributes this adventure in "modern capital
ism" to the suspicion that the Coos Bay Lum
ber Co.'s timber inventory, of 3.S billion feet
wss faulty, making the going price of $130
per share out of line. After a recruise, the -deal
was negotiated on the basis of $305 per
hare. According to the Times, the cruise .
showed the company had nearer six billion
feet, "making this one of the largest private
timber holdings In the world." Publicity on
the sale, however, referred to "four billion
feet of timber." (All this has excited the In
terest of count v officials of Coos county who "
may turn in bills for back taxes over the past
five years on the ground of failure to assess
properly).
Gcprgia-Pacifle still holds Hs option on
Stock:' of Hammond Lumber Co. which It ex-
ercised will call for another $80 million in fi
nancing. The corporation certainly has ample
credit and the courage to employ 1L It looks

Thr Albany Democrat-Herald advises that
the old rule to go downhill when lost doesn't
hold in the Cascades. When one does, he gets

The Independence Enterprise reports "the
little city Is starting to hum with activity as
the bean harvest season draws near." Beans!
That will shock the not-so-old timers who re

only we hear those who have stayed In the
hop business have better prospects this year.
Success of Tree Farms Prompts Thoughts

success of privately operated tree
farms has done much to warrant
a reatudy of the comparative ef

private ownership of western
public lands.
"If it can be demonstrated that
the private Industry tree-farm,
can and will provide higher stan
dards of efficiency in forest man
agement than federal forestry
programs." declared Wooiley,
''the Impact upon public thinking
would be tremendous."

"Much of the enthusiasm for

has arisen In general from the
belief that the public interest It

were retained in public owner

hope and belief that the tree

that the public interest can aim

The Astorian-Budget discusses the problem
of feny service across the Columbia at that
point. The State Highway Commission oper
ate! the ferries, but according to the A-B its
three ferries are not adequate to handle the
traffic on summer weekends. Washington
state is building a road from Knappton to
Megler which will give a more direct connec
tion from up-river points and add to the num
ber of cars seeking to cross the Columbia. The
A-B wants to know whit the solution should
be: one or two more big ferries or a bridge?
From a cost standpoint the former, would
appear to be the answer. Recalling a long
wait for a ferry one Labor Day on the Wash
ington shore we can sympathize with the de
mand for expanded service. The coast route
Is very popular in summer months and merits
good service for the crossing of the Columbia.
If that is reasonably prompt, tourists find the
ferry crossing a real adventure, much more
exciting than spinning across on a bridge.
. Dairymen may lie abed in the morning as
long as millhands and statehouse workers if
they accept the findings of the Ruakua Ani
mal Research station in New Zealand. The
station carried on for two years studying milk
production where the milking was done at
regular 12-hour Intervals or at intervals of 8
and of 16 hours. The tests showed that the
latter time schedule caused no loss of milk
or butterfat production, even when applied
to high producing cows. This system would
permit one milking after 8 in the morning
and the other at 4 o'clock, before supper. We
know this sounds like heresy; and doubt if it
will be generally accepted by dairymen. For
one thing it knocks out their argument
against daylight saving.
Those who saw the All-Star baseball game
Tuesday at Washington or on television, got
their money's worth in the array of talent
displayed, especially of powerful hitters. They
were rewarded with four home-runs as Musial
of the St. Louis Cardinals and Willie Mays of
the Cisnts belted out one each to help the
Nationals win, and as Ted Williams of the Red
Sox snd Mickey Mantle of the Yankees got
one each for the Americans. Home runs are
crowd pullers (which may be one reason they
don't put a little more weight in the ball).
Ever since the days of Babe Ruth, king of
swat, hitters have been, trying to match his
record of 60 home runs in a season. Mickey
Mantle was on his way this year, until a minor
Injury slowed him up.
The July crop forecast of the department
of agriculture shows a decrease in the esti
mates for wheat but an increase for corn,
compared with a year ago. The wheat crop
estimate is 922.262.000 bu., while last year s
production was 936.761.000 bu. and the ten
year (1945-54) average was 1,148.289.000 bu.
For corn the estimate is 3.266.688,000 bu.
which Is higher than the 1955 crop of 3.241,
536.000 bu. and much higher than the 3,084,
000,000 ten-year average. The aim has been to
bring the wheat crop below 900,000.000 bu.
.and corn below three billion bushels, in order
to halt the build up of surpluses. Improved
cultivation and mors use of fertilizer increas
es yields per acre so the acreage cuts do not
bring the production cuts that are hoped for.
Prospects for tree fruits in southern Ore
gon are reported good, according to the Med
ford Mail Tribune, quoting the county horti-'
culturist The year's D'Anjou pear crop is ex
pected to be the biggest in years, and the
same for the peach crop. Other pear varie
ties, Bartlett, Bosc and Cornice are producing
somewhat less than last year. With fruit crops
in Washnigton reduced by the winter's freez
ing weather, Oregon orchardists should en
counter a good market this year. However,
this Is not true about Milton-Freewater where
the 1955 freeze killed trees as well as fruit
buds.
Senator Morse must be saving up his voice
for the Oregon campaign. He has been unusu
ally silent in recent weeks. However, his col
league, Sen. Neuberger, his been a loquacious
substitute, quoting from the surgeon general
on the use of a certain heart drug, accusing
Ike of remaining silent on the school bill
fight, and spanking Oregon for not distribut

Tas Law Criticism
To the Editor:
. I would like to take exception
to your statement In your column
lhat the Democrats are resorting
to hindsight in their criticism ot
the 45 percent surtax and the
resulting $20,000,000 surplus.-The
files of your own newspaper will
show the tax law was fought by
the Democrats during its incep
tion on precisely the same ground
H Is now being criticized. Name
ly, that a 45 per cent surtax and
a reduction of the personal ex
emption and dependency credit
were not needed In order to pro
duce sufficient revenue and that
the purpose of these measures
was to force a sales tax by mak
ing the tax load unbearable.
' The second installment of taxes
due under this Republican grind
ing tax law will be due on July
15. Let the taxpayers remember
the Democrats had a tax pro
gram which called for a 30 per
cent surtax with no reduction in
the personal exemption and de
pendency credit. The difference
to individual taxpayers amounts,
on an average, to about $20 00 on
each $100 00 of taxes paid. The'
Democratic tax program would
have raised the revenue seeded
by the state; to go beyond that
is, at best, fiscal irresponsibility.
In the light of the above, I
doubt if people look upon this
surplus as such a "blessing"
when most of them needed this
extra money to meet today's ris
ing costs of living. , '
The British Parliament in 1774

To the Editor:
May I reply to a forum letter
submitted by Marion L. Bronson
boosting Wayne Morse and slap
ping at Doug McKay and his
candidacy for U.S. Senator.
Branson's letter like so many
others who try by "letters to the
editor" to crucify McKay and
"blow the horn" for Morse, isn't
specific in Us criticism of Mr.
McKay.
Actually, Woody Smith of Hood
River ' was the only Democrat
seeking this office at he attempt
ed to show, for Morse has just
lately served notice that should
the Democratic Party not be
consistent with his philosophy
that he would also "bunch" them.
It's certainly no secret that
Morse shouldered hit way into
the Democratic Party after see
ing that he was getting absolutely
nowhere as an independent while
at the same and in the process
was walking over the toes of
other qualified and capable Dem
ocrats, any of whom would add
prestige to Oregon in the nation's
capital over Morse.
So now the Democrats have.no
choice but to vote for Wayne
Morse if they vole a straight
ticket as many of them will
casting their vote for a poor
second-hand Republican outcast.
Morse's record after nearly 12
years in the Senate will, with the
approach of the November elec
tions, soon be more and more
publicized. It is going to be some
what embarrassing to many of
his loudest supporters when his
record of "accomplishments"
are shown.
Douglas McKay, on the other
hand, is an ardent backer of the
administration, and President
Eisenhower's sdministration and
what it has accomplished and is
trying to gain for the people of
this nation needs no explanation
to those who keep themselves
reasonably informed.
Oregon has two administration
foes now occupying its Senate
teats. With the re-election of Ike
(which is held highly probable
tvn by Democrats) Oregon
needs Doug McKay. t'nlike
Morse and Nueberger, McKay
will "do" a good job not just
"talk" it. Rronson's letter says
McKay "fell down" on his first
job in Washington. That of course
is Bronson's opinion and the opin
ion of administration foes gen
erally. In conclusion may I say that
the people of Oregon always know
where McKay stands on the im
portant issues forthcoming no
body knows, not even Democrats
what Morse wilt do ever! The
people know Doug McKay and
have elected him before, and
Democrats and Republicans will
elect him again this November
Respectfully submitted,
Joe H. Lane,

'This spending for education

A new worry appeared on the
horizon of raspberry and logan
berry growers Thursday. F. P.
Larson, entomologist at the Ore
gon State Department of Agricul
ture, asked the berry growers to
be on the lookout for a micro
scopic mite 'and . a small while
worm.
While neither haa yet been found
in fruit fields here, Larson urged
the growers to be on the lookout
for them and lo notify the depart
ment of agriculture as soon as any
are noticed. They are now doing
considerable damage to logan
berries and raspberries in Western
Washington.
Small Warm '
The worm Is described as about
a half-inch long, white and with a
black head. It has been officially
listed as the Western Raspberry
Fruit Worm.
The mite, listed aa the Dry Berry
Mite, is recognizable when logan
berries drv uo and turn brown
before ripening. Growers who find
the loganberries drying up for
reasons other than lack of mois
ture and fertilizer should inform
the department at once, Larson
states, so that the fruit can- be
checked for the Dry Berry Mite.

lerwly ruined. But a phone call to a nearby Allstate
