Receipts for forest rentals in
Oregon for the year 1944, totaling
$696,254.33, were distributed to Subeoribe for The Miner today.
31 counties this week by Robert

S. Farrell, as secretary of state.
The 1944 total is considerably
greater than any for the past few
years, partially as a result of in­
creased timber sales due to war­
time demands for lumber, Farrell
said. In 1943, the distributed a-
mounted to $362,766; in 1942 it
totaled $206,007.02; and in 1941
it was $183,836.27.
The fund goes to the 31 coun­
ties in which forest reserves are
located. The fund allotted to each
county depends on the acreage of
forest area it contains. There is
a total of 14,358,088 acres in the

FRANCE—“Stringing out” isn’t
an official Army phrase, but
that’s precisely what the 713th
Railway Operating Battalion has
been doing ever since it arrived
overseas two years ago.
It arrlv e d a t C a s a bla n c u,
French Moroaco, in Februay, 1943
and three months later the bat
talion was strung out along 40
miles of rail line, from Casablan­
ca to Mateur. Tht battalion went
to Naples, Italy, in October, 1943.
Following the breakthrough last
June, the battalion was operat­
ing from the southern part ol
Italy to Rome and beyond.
The 713th, commanded by Lt.
Col. Ernest Foulks of Los Angeles
was the first unit of the military
Railway service to arrive on the
Riviera beachhead in Southern
France invasion. And now, once
again, the men are following
their old routine. They are scat­
tered in detachments along hun­
dreds of miles of French rail­
road lines, operating trains, re­
pairing bridges, laying track.
Their job is to make sure that
the thousands o( tons of supplies
entering the great ports reach the
troops of the U. S. 7th and French
1st Armies, now hammering at
the Nazis’ strong Siegfried de­
fenses. One company specializes
in construction, repair and main­
tenance of the rail line, another
in the maintenance of equipment.
A third company operates the
trains, while the Headquarters &
Signal Company takes care of
administration and communica­
tions.
Along with other units of the
1st Military Railway Service, the
713th Railway Operating Batta-
tion was commended recently by
Lt. Gen. Jacob L. Davers, com­
mander of t h e S i x t h A r m y
Group..
Members of the 713th include;
Sgt. Sanford Rose, 174 Church St.
