ARCHITECT'S DRAWING OF FIRST OF FOREST BUILDINGS HI if -J AS GROUND is being leveled off here for the coming administrative headquarters of the Heppner district of the Umatilla National forest, vision may be had of the finished project from this architect's drawing of the first of the proposed buildings, a combination warehouse and storehouse. The picture is reproduced here through courtesy of the Pen dleton East Oregonian. WPA labor has been employed in preparing the site, donated by city and county, and F. F. Wehmeyer, local ranger, announces that CCC workers will be on the job next month to assist in the work of con struction. Other buildings planned for the site are an office, gas and oil station, equipment building and residence for the administrative assistant. The completed project will be bordered by large trees, and general land scaping beauty will enhance the appearance of the upper Main street district where the site is located. WHY FOREST ADMINISTRATION IS IMPORTANT THESE views were taken within the Heppner district of the Umatilla National forest. Reproduced here through the courtesy of Pendleton East Oregonian, they give something of the answer to the question of "Why an administrative headquarters at Heppner?" To the left is shown F. F. Wehmeyer, ranger in charge, standing beside one of the many large ponderosa pine trees now being largely sought by milling interests. The other views picture livestock in the mountain setting of summer range. The forest service must interest itself in protecting these resources and seeing that they are administered in the general public welfare. Conser vation and reforestation are words whose meaning become clearer when such sights are viewed; and it is easier to understand why the mountain area contains the county's most valuable resources.
