The board, made up of the governor, the secretary of state, and the state treasurer, meets Thursday in Salem to consider the 315-page proposal. The 140-square-mile forest in the Coast Range north of Coos Bay was created in 1930 and 90 percent of it generates money for schools. It once produced $8 million a year but lately has been running $1 million a year in the red.

Lawsuits continually blocked timber sales on grounds they failed to maintain habitat for feder- ally protected coho salmon and the marbled murrelet, a seabird that nests in big old trees. Department of State lands spokeswoman Julie Curtis acknowledges that ¿nding such a buyer is a tall order, but a series of hearings identi¿ed all those elements as priorities for Oregon residents. The board rejected two other alternatives, to ¿nd a new manager for the forest, and to develop a new plan for protecting threatened salmon and wildlife that would produce more timber. Curtis said the department has been meeting with repre- sentatives of local govern- ments and agencies, timber companies and conservation groups, but so far all are keeping their intentions to Lo 71 82 71 57 55 58 64 72 76 46 78 8 a.m. 10 a.m. Noon 2 p.m. 4 p.m. 6 p.m. Copyright © 2015, EO Media Group By JEFF BARNARD Associated Press W c s pc pc s pc pc pc pc s s pc pc s c c s pc pc c pc c pc pc c pc pc Today Didn’t receive your paper?&DOO EHIRUHSP7XHVGD\WKURXJK)ULGD\ RUEHIRUHDP6DWXUGD\ for same-day redelivery To subscribe, call 1-800-522-0255 or go online to www.eastoregonian.com and click on ‘Subscribe’ Lo 55 48 49 57 45 51 55 58 59 53 47 51 42 60 51 55 61 57 60 61 48 58 61 50 60 64 56 WSW 10-20 W 10-20 Subscriber services: For home delivery, vacation stops or delivery concerns: 1-800-522-0255 211 S.E.

If no buyers emerge, the department goes back to the board in December 2016. Two options would be to retain the forest while accepting losses of $1 million a year, or selling it without the conservation and public access restrictions. Josh Laughlin of the conservation group Cascadia Forest Defenders said it would favor a public land trust buying the forest and selling it back to the federal government, so it could be returned to the Siuslaw National Forest. That would retain public access and conservation protections, particularly on the half of the forest that has never been logged. Bob Ragon, director of Douglas Timber Operators, said he could not imagine a private timber company being interested in buying the forest, because of all the conditions being imposed.

BLM spokesman Larry Moore says the si]e of the ¿re remains 19 square miles and it’s 50 percent contained. He told the Baker City Herald that crews hope to reach 80 percent containment by Friday night. Investigators are trying to determine what ignited the ¿re near Interstate 84 in Eastern Oregon. They don’t think lightning caused it. Meanwhile, crews in southwest Oregon were occupied by Àare up on the east Àank of the Stouts ¿re, which has scorched 32 square miles east of Canyonville. A ¿re spokesman says crews managed to keep the Àames within hand-dug lines. The rest of the ¿re was relatively calm, and mop up continued along the north and west Àanks. The wild¿re is 25 percent contained. The cost of suppressing it has topped $10 million. Fire chief in Vale resigns after 8 years on job 9ALE AP — The ¿re chief in 9ale submitted his resignation. Todd Hesse started the job in 2007 and will remain as interim chief until a replace- ment is hired. Hesse didn’t explain his decision when contacted by The Ontario Argus Observer. He said he enjoyed the work, and family is his ¿rst priority. City manager Lynn Findley plans to quickly begin the recruitment process. Findley says the new chief must have a medical background, because the ¿re department also serves as the ambulance department. Inslee to lead 9-day trade mission to Korea and Japan OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — Washington Gov. Jay Inslee announced Friday that he’s leaving at the end of the month for a 9-day trade mission to Korea and Japan. Inslee will be joined by directors of the state agriculture and commerce departments, as well as 60 leaders from the business, education, economic development and local government communities. Inslee said the state’s trade and cultural ties with Japan and Korea run deep. Inslee will leave on Aug. 28, heading ¿rst to Seoul, where he will meet with government of¿cials and business leaders, and address a technology conference. He will then travel to Kobe, Japan. In addition to meetings with leaders, Inslee will visit the Disaster Reduction and Human Renovation Institution to learn how Washington state can better be prepared for a major earthquake.
