STATE FIRE SEASON STARTS APRIL
1; LAWS OUTLINED BY DEPARTMENT
The closed season on the use of
fire on private and public lands
is in effect April 1 and some of
the basic requirements as set
forth by law are here summer
ized through the courtesy of the
state board of forestry.
Burning permits are required
for burning brush, grass, grain
or stubble or other debris on or
within one-eighth mile of a
forest land. The service states
that many dollars a year would
be saved if the people who wish
to burn would get their permits
to do so before any burning is
done, or if they live outside or
adjacent to the protective bound
ary, would phone 112 Kinzua and
notify the state forestry office of
intent to burn. By giving noti
fication beforehand the forestry
service would not have to shift
personnel and equipment where
they are not needed and would
save time and tax money.
The following list includes
some of the basic requirements
that apply to logging and saw
mill equipment and operations.
1 Operator must have logging
or sawmill operation permit be
fore operation is started. Permits
are required each year.
2 Sufficient fire tools must be
provided at each landing to
equip the entire mill or woods
crew for fire fighting.
3 A tool box, painted red and
marked For Fire Only, provided
with hasp and hinges so that the
box may be sealed, is required.
4 Provide a one and one-half
quart fire extinguisher on each
gas or diesel engine used In log
ging or sawmilllng.
5 Provide adequate spark ar
resters on all gasoline engines.
6 Each power saw must be
equipped with not less than an
8 oz. pressurized extinguisher and
one shovel with not less than a
36-inch handle.
7 No smoking while working
in or traveling in or through any
operation or slash area.
8 All trucks transporting for
est products over forest roads
shall be equipped with not less
than one shovel, one axe and a
one and one-half quart fire ex
tinguisher. All fire tools to be
kept In good repair and ready for
Instant use. Portable welder
units used in a forested area to
be equipped the same as trucks
9 Each sawmill operating in
or within one-eighth mile of for
est land shall heve not less than
four barrels of not less than 50
gallons capacity filled with wa
ter, with one bucket of not less
than two gallon capacity on each
barrel. Barrels and buckets to
be kept at mill and barrels to be
kept filled with water through
out the fire season.
The state forestry department
states the good cooperation of
the public in the past has been
appreciated and has helped to
minimize forest fire losses.
In 1956 the Kinzua unit had 38
reportable fires, three being man
caused and 35 lightning caused.
About 15 camp and warning fires
were taken care of by state per
sonnel. 1 he five units of the Cen
tral Oregon fire district had some
180 fires last year.
For their cooperation and help,
Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, March
the state forestry personnel ex
tend their thanks to the ranch
ers, Heppner Pine Mills, Kinzua
Corp. and the U. S. Forest Service.

P P & L CUSTOMERS SET POWER USE
RECORD; YEAR'S CONSTRUCTION UP
A new all-time record use of
electricity by customers of Paci
fic Power & Light company and
the start of the largest construc
tion program in the company
history are highlights of PP&L's
annual report being received
Monday by the company's share
holders. Delivery of 3,552,429,000 kila-watt-hours
of electricity during
1956 represents a 9.6 per cent
increase over the year previous,
PP&L president Paul B. McKee
noted in commenting on the re
port of the company's progress.
Use of electricity in the com
pany's service area has increased
59.3 per cent in the past five
years, he reported.
Average annual use of electri
city by residential customers
reached a new high figure of
6563 kilowatt-hours in the past
year, an increase of 455, and Mc
Kee predicted that by 1960 resi
dential use would be approach
ing 10,000 kilowatt-hours annu
ally. Construction expenditures dur
ing 1956 totaled $32,000,000 and
the -company's current construc
tion program will call for ex
penditures of $52,000,000 in 1957
and $54,000,000 in 195S.
Projects under construction will
double the Pacific company's
generating capacity by the end
of 1958, it was stated. Output of
the new plants will take the
place of some of the power now
being purchased, which tn 1956
amounted to 60 per cent of sys
tem requirements.
PP&L's system peak load in
1956 reached 804,000 kilowatts,
McKee noted.
Revenues for all services sup
plied to the company' s 300,460
customers showed an increase of
8.5 per cent for the year, it was
reported. Gross revenues of $84,
141,000 for the electric, telephone,
water and steam systems were
up $3,781,000. The electric reve
nues of $45,909,000 accounted for
95 per cent of the total. Net in
come after provision for all taxes
was $8,569,000.
Earnings per share of common
stock for the 3,761,873 shares out
standing at the end of the year
were $2.10 compared with $1.80
per share in 1955.
