eluded State Senator Orville
Thompson of Albany, who aald he
represented the Linn County court.
Thompnn objected to the posi
tion of the proposed unit's north
boundary, which extends Into
Linn County, saying there are
"numerous small operators In the
area who contribute to the towns
of Linn County, who would be
deprived of O. and C. timber un
less the boundaries are changed."
. The Albany Chamber of Com
merce entered a protest to the
plan, while the Eugene Chamber
of Commerce entered Its exhibit
In favor of the plan. County
Commissioner Allen Wheeler of
Eugene expressed "no objec
tions." Assistant Secretary Davidson
assured the men in his opening
address that "the views you ex
press will be most carefully con
sidered before the secretary of in
terior takes any final action on
the matter. If however, It is dem
onstrated to be an in appropriate
method, whereby more problems
are created than are solved, , we
must seek other methods for
achieving our objective of sus
tained yield."
To Agreement
'Afternoon sessions were devoted
to tbe actual agreement proposed
botween O. and C. and the land
holders. Davidson said It was
hoped to conclude the hearing
Wednesday, even if it meant a
night session.
.The opposing Western Forest
Industries Assn. rallied its forces
here Tuesday night in a combina
tion pep talk and dinner meeting.

"Now we're on the battle ground,
and the fate of the the natural re
sources of this state are at stake."
Earl Mason, former dean of the
school of forestry at Oregon State
College, told the group of over 100
men that "I don't think the men
in the government are maliciously
carrying out somebody's orders;
they are just doing what they have
been convinced is best."
Mason compared the plan with
"the old landed aristocracy."
since a 100-year agreement with
the government would allow the
land to revert to heirs.
Judge Lelf Erlckson of Troy,
Mont., formerly on the bench of
the Montana State Supreme Court,
was the group's keynote speaker.
"What you're up against here is
going to be repeated all over the
West," Erlckson told the men. "As
a matter of national policy, the
little fellow is going to be squeezed
out. "
In Montana
The Montana judge said a sim
liar sustained yield program now
is being fought on the Kootenai
National Forest In Montana. He
agreed that it would give stability
to the town of Libby, Mont., but
said it would make a ghost town
of Troy, Mont.
Association members said criti
cism of the proposed Oregon
agreement had been voiced by
several operators in Linn County,
who fear that timber normally go
ing to mills in Brownsville, Craw
fordville, Holly and other Linn
towns will henceforth be diverted
to the Fischer plant at Marcola in
Lane County.
Worktngman
Judge Erickson conitnued: "It
is not a healthy condition for the
working man when one company
owns, or has access to, all the tim
ber In a given area. He may too
easily be blackballed. There Isn't
any reason to pay the price some
agencies want to pay for sustained
yield. We don't know what fores
try practices will be 10, 15. or 100
years from now. Perhaps we won't
even want the big logs."
K. T. Titus of Portland, execu
tive secretary of the association,
cited the group's opposition to
anything except competitive bid
ding.
Bid Price
He noted that he counties get SO
per cent of the timber sale reve
nues from O and C lands, and that
bid prices have been running con
siderable higher than the ap
praised prices. "If these sales had
been by appraisal, the eounties
would be losing money," he stated.
Merton Folts of the Isaac Wal
ton League called the sustained
yield plan "a vicious piece of legis
lation." He said It would "pad
lock the doors of the public do
main" against fishermen and
sportsmen and that nothing has
been included In the agreement
whereby the public may be per
mitted access to national timber
lands Included In a sustained
yield agreement.
