Malheur National Forest
officials are scheduled to be-
gin cabin removal activities
on National Forest System
lands adjacent to Highway 7
just east of Austin Junction
this week.
The cabin and associ-
ated outbuildings were au-
thorized under a special use
permit to Betty Jane Morris,
according to a Forest Service
press release.
The permit terminat-
ed in 2015 with her pass-
ing. Per the authorization’s
terms, upon termination of
the permit, the permittee
is required to remove any
improvements and restore
the site.
If the permittee does
not complete these actions
within a reasonable time,
the improvements become
the property of the United
States. The time period has
passed, the United States has
taken possession of the cabin
and associated outbuildings
and is proceeding with re-
moval activities.
These improvements are
the remaining of a group of
three special use authoriza-
tions issued in the late 1960s
and early 1970s for use of a
cabin site or yearlong resi-
dence on the Malheur Na-
tional Forest as a result of a
land exchange with Oregon
Lumber Company. The other
two cabin sites were restored
in 2009.
After the building remov-
al work has been completed,
areas of disturbance will be
rehabbed and planted with
native grasses. There is an
additional house located
near the cabin site located
on state land and will not be
removed as part of the Forest
Service project.
For more information on
the removal project, please
contact Teresa Dixon at 541-
575-3133.

Forest is available at fs.usda.

A man wakes up in
the morning after
sleeping on an
ADVERTISED BED,
in ADVERTISED
PAJAMAS.
He will bathe in an ADVERTISED TUB, shave with an ADVERTISED RAZOR,
have a breakfast of ADVERTISED JUICE, cereal and toast, toasted in an
ADVERTISED TOASTER, put on ADVERTISED CLOTHES and glance at his
ADVERTISED WATCH. He’ll ride to work in his ADVERTISED CAR, sit at an
ADVERTISED DESK and write with an ADVERTISED PEN. Yet this person
hesitates to advertise, saying that advertising doesn’t pay. Finally, when his
non-advertised business is going under, HE’LL ADVERTISE IT FOR SALE.
Then it’s too late.
AND THEY SAY ADVERTISING DOESN’T WORK?
DON’T MAKE THIS SAME MISTAKE
