KINZUA READY FOR HEAVY OPERATION
IN TIMBER BELT SOUTH OF HEPPNER
' By F. F. Wehmeyer
Kinzua Pine Mills company are
completing their log storage pond,
near their rail head at Wineland
lake. This will cover several acres
and hold millions of board feet of
logs until such time as they are
ready to transport them on to their
milling operations at Kinzua. 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. Edwin
Hughes of Lena and Dan McLaugh
lin, local rider, are busy assisting
in the location of the right-of-way.
Glen Jorgensen was called to Bak
er the last week to study advanced
methods in fire suppression work.
He was joined at Pendleton by Jun
ior Foresters Robert Keller and Da
vid Judkins, Senior Lumberman R.
U. Cambers and Senior Forester Ed
Peltier.
Supervisor Carl Ewing, Assistant
Supervisor Charles Overbay, Lum
berman R. U. 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.
