Wehmeyer Kinzua Pine Mills company are completing their log storage pond, near their rail head at Wineland lake.

They have their highway from rail head to the Heppner-Spray highway cleared as to right-of-ways and will rough grade the last three miles at an early date. They are now busy on graveling the first nine miles which was graded up last year. . Charles Rector, grazing examiner has spent several days the last week looking over the ranges of the Hepp ner district and getting acquainted with the territory. In the last 16 years Mr. Rector has had the good fortune to work in nearly all the western states at different periods of time as well as having worked in Washington, D. C, for the forest ser vice. To better qualify himself for such work he herded sheep one summer, so his knowledge is not all of the class room type, on grazing matters. The last driveway band has cross ed the local driveway bound for the high mountains. Range condi tions were very promising this spring and stock were in very good condi tion on an average when entering the forest. However the past couple of weeks of scorching weather cook ed the vegetation as it stood rather than letting it mature and' water is shorter in the mountains than any previous year six weeks later in the season, or mid-August. The Ukiah side camp of CCC un der Hubert McDonald are building a division fence on the Five Mile C. & H. allotment. They figure on construction of twelve miles to sub divide the range into three units or pastures to allow of rotation.

Cambers and Regional Office Inspector Fred Ames were looking over the sale area in the vicinity of the Notch and Wineland lake the past week. With prospect of having an extra hazardous fire season all local folks, and outsiders too, are invited to give us a hand in holding down the sit uation. If each can give us his co operation in observing the three rules of: "No smoking while traveling; "Secure a camp fire permit before building any fires; "Carry a shovel, axe and water pail; it will keep all the forest guards in splendid good humor and save the government hundreds and perhaps thousands of dollars. We really need all those dollars to buy guns and ammunition. Probably there will be need also of all the change we in dividually or the government can spare the coming winter to feed mil lions of destitute and helpless babies and children that otherwise are doomed to perish, so lets not waste! any resource foolishly. Could we also point out that the shooting of fire crackers is a mighty dangerous as well as costly way to celebrate the Fourth, especially when in the vicinity of small fingers, eyes, cotton dresses, farm buildings and forest material. As the Fourth wouldn't be much of a holiday for small boys without lots and lots of din, racket and noise, furnish them with cap guns which are compara tively safe. Budget Not All Spent 1939 County Welfare Portland, July 3. (Special) Mor row county's 1939 budget of $10,970 for all public welfare purposes, had an unspent balance at end of last year , of $2,628. The county's 1940 welfare budget of $10,220 was 3.51 percent of all taxes levied in Morrow county for this year, and was 7.70 percent of the 1940 taxes levied for county purposes only. The 1940 per capita cost of public welfare in the county was $2.07 based on 1937 population estimate. Thirty-five Oregon counties had a total of unspent public welfare budget allowances of $310,224 as of December 31, 1939. Only one county, Marion, spent more for all public welfare than provided in its 1939 budget. These figures were recently com piled for all counties in the state by Oregon Business & Tax Research, Inc. Total 1940 tax levy for all wel fare purposes in all counties, in cluding county farms and hospitals, indigent soldiers and sailors, also old age, blind, dependent children and general (relief) assistance, was $3, 209,823 against $3,200,001 levied by all counties for the same purposes in 1939, the tax organization's report indicates. The principal reason why thirty five of the thirty-six Oregon coun ties spent less for all public welfare in 1939 than was levied for those purposes, was inability of the state at end of 1939 was not a cash but to match county tax levies with profits from the state liquor sys tem. This inability of the state caus ed a slowing-down of aid to new public welfare applicants. The Ore gon Business & Tax Research, Inc. statement points out that the $310, 224 unspent welfare budget balance a bookkeeping balance. County mil lage tax levies might have been re duced by the unspent balance had the state's inability to match county taxes on property with liquor profits been foreseen when the 1939 county budget was prepared.
