Board to vote on proposal
to seek buyer for state forest
GRANTS PASS — The
State Land Board is sched-
uled to vote on a plan to
¿nd an unusual buyer for the
Elliott State Forest: one that
will pay a fair market price,
conserve older trees, protect
threatened ¿sh and wildlife,
produce logs for local mills,
and leave it open to the
public.
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. Attempts to
ramp up logging to produce

$13 million annually for
schools failed. 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

themselves. 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.

+8NTINGTON AP — A range ¿re that
brieÀy threatened the city of +untington has
slowed, and crews hope to have it mostly
contained before the weekend.
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.
