Safety Impror
In 1M0 and 1961. the Vmatllla
Forest war ,h h,iu,m 1
the rrulon In tt safety record,
he Mid. But lat year It won
plaque for Its Rood records,
"No Job U so Important that
you cannot take the time to do
ft safely." he Mid.
On public relation, he de
clared. -The public calls everv
on of us ranger. They dont
differentiate between me or any
of you. Tell the people the facts.
They will accent what you tell
them as facts.
He stressed the need for every
Forest Service employee to treat
the public with courtesy and
consideration, and said "Pont
try to put 'people in their place
even when you may think the
situation calls for it
Stlcknev told the croup that
26 persons In the headquarters
office are involved in business
management and that operation
of the national forest is "bl
business." Budget last year was
approximately $1.5 million fur
the forest, and for the next fis
cal year it may reach 13 million.
Receipts average more than l
million, hitting $1,212,092 in
1904. Counties receive 23 of the
rccclDts in lieu of taxes pro
rated on lands within their
boundaries. There are 11 coun
ties which have some of the
Umatilla within their bound
arles. including Baker (very
small). Grant. Morrow. Umatil
la. Union. Wallowa and Wheel
er in Oregon; Asotin, Columbia.
Garfield and Walla Walla, in
Washington.
Last year Morrow county s
share of the receipts was $29,454.
Fir Costs High
in Ktti fir pvrvnv on the
Umatilla was $1.5 million, and
In 1961 it was $1 million. In the
last three years, with no big
fires for suppression and con
trol, it was about $500,000 an
nually. Total employment in the Uma
tilla National forest will peak
at the maximum of 341 at the
height of the summer season.
In discussing his field of tim
ber management. George said
that his department operated
under a total budget of $205,000
last year. A large part of the
forest receipts come from sales
of timber. Annual allowable
timber harvest is 135.1 million
board feet, which is divided al
most equally between the nor
thern (Pomeroy, Walla Walla
and Pendleton) and southern
(Heppner, Ukiah, Dale) work
ing circles 67.2 million board
feet for the north and 67.9 mil
lion board feet for the south.
Last year 111 million board feet
were harvested, and it is con
templated that sales this year
will include 138 million. Doug
las fir, larch, white fir and
spruce comprise nearly two
thirds of the timber in the na
tional forest and the remaining
one third U lmderoa pine,
In 1964, 4O7.0O0 trees were
planted on more than l.u
acre and 7. pounds of aeed
wa sown bv helicopter on more
than 500 acre.
i Average growth In the forest
! Is about lVi board ft per acre
I per year, he aald. This can be
brought up wun imn-tiou
tentlon to Rood management
pract ices.
Timber Vmand Great
Because milling capacity In
or adjacent to the national for
i. kuuit four time the al
lowable cvt. bidding on limber
sales Is often highly competi
tive. Kurtl told of his work as en
gineering assistant, which prtn
clpallv include construction
and design of roads and trail.
The biggest lob Is that of road
contract, which may reach
$1,300,000 In 190i. he said.
As the man in cnarge oi equip
ment, he cautioned the men at
the school that more action Is to
be given to "dent and ding pick
Ing." which In Forest Service
parlance, means that all vehic
les will be closely scrutinized
for dents and damage. Reports
must be filed Immediately for
anv damage to vehicle.
Hughes briefly outlined orga
nizations of the fire school,
which is broken down under
four groups for class and field
work. Camp Boss Benson "laid
down the law" about being to
classes on time and gave the
time table of the rigid schedule
which starts with morning call
at 5:45 and doesn't end until
after the evening session con
cluding at 8:30.
Colored slides of the applica
f urwV nn the Umatilla
forest to the multiple purpose
j plan were shown and described
by Supervisor Mallery. and at
' . . l . . : .ft.. .dticinn A
me conclusion m
motion picture, -Design for Dis
aster." was shown on the disas
trous fire that swept brushy
hills and canyons in the Los An
iroio ar mnsumlne dozens of
expensive homes. This area, with
the dry brush and grass on the
slopes, was called the most
highly Inflammable area in the
world.
