crease In the annual timber pro
duction rate of one million
board feet would result. An ex
periment with a thick stand of
2.8(10 tree stems per acre with
only 1!K) pounds of forage per
acre thinned to a stand of 100
to 130 tree stems per acre (con
sidered desirable for saw-log
stands) resulted in a forage in-
rease of 550 pounds per acre.
This meant an increase of 20
animal unit months on a iw
acre managed stand for both
imber and forage. At a value
of three dollars per animal
month, this would mean an
added value of $300,000.00 on a
half million acres of thinned
ands. Their range management
research showed that a proper
combination of trees and grass
on timber land produces a
creator income per acre than
complete conversion of timber to
ange.
Mobile Outfits for Chips
We concur in the belief ex
pressed by the Grant County
planning committee that the de
velopment of smaller machinery,
coupled with the long range
market outlook lor cnips, win
make commercial thinning feas
ible within two to three years.
We would use rubber-tired skid
tiers to bring tree length ma
terial to the landing where the
logs could be separated into
saw-logs and cords of chip ma
terial. The saw-logs would be
transported to the mill, and the
cords of chip material would be
processed on the site by a mo
bile barker and chipper and
loaded into trailers for move
ment to pulp plants.
The Forest Service has partic
ipated in these new develop
ments and will be preparing new
allowable cuts based on the in
clusion of this smaller material.
Kinzua operates its own 164,
000 acre tree farm and realizes
that a similar thinning of us
stands would result in needed
saw-log growth and more for
age for the twenty-nine local
ranchers who presently rent
every available acre for summer
grazing.
To brine you up to date on
our operations we now employ
350 people. Our payroll last year
totaled $2,339,794.20. In addition,
we paid $504,078.00 to contract
loeeers. Our property taxes last
year totaled $136,683.28. Of this
amount, $98,389.64 was paid dir-
potlv to countv tax collectors.
while another $38,293.64 was paid
to the State Tax Commission
as severance tax payments to
be returned to the counties as
a tax offset.
Starts Training Program
Our comoanv provides hospi
tal and medical insurance, paid
holidays, up to three weeks paid
vacations and a supplemental
pension plan in addition to the
basic wage of $2.78'a. A new
development at Kinzua this
month was the commencement
of our own manpower training
program. State employment
services are referring unemploy
ed persons without previous ex
perience in industry to Kinzua
Corporation, an equal opportun
ity employer. These people are
officially enrolled in a U. S.
Department of Labor-Bureau of
Apprenticeship and Training
sponsored program. Sixty-two
positions were approved with an
average training period of four
weeks. Trainees receive full un
ion scale wage paid entirely by
the company. The company does
receive reimbursement for part
of its clerical costs and for the
additional instruction time re
quired of its supervisors. It is
hoped that the new employees
will value this opportunity, and
that our special emphasis on
safety and the proper use of
machinery will result in a low
er accident rate and a higher
quality of production materials.
Our employees have joined
forces with us in an outstand
ing safety program fostered by
a monthly newsletter, monthly
safety meetings, and an S&H
green stamp incentive award
system whereby each employee
receives green stamp awards
when his department has an ac
cident free month. Our supervis
ors receive training from spe
cialists in safety, and at var
ious times we schedule safety
demonstrations for the entire
lamily.
To sum up these remarks, it
is our conviction that coopera
tion of private timber owners
and federal and state timber
management people will result
in an added volume of merch
antable saw-loe material for our
plants in this area. With this in
mind, we will continue to im
prove our manufacturing plants,
keep up with new developments
in logging methods and machin
ery, and remain in this area as
a permanent industry with a
keen interest in the welfare of
our employees and the local
communities in which we operate.

of area that the street wrvc
the city council probably will
continue to be reluctant to va
rate the HreH. However, the
mayor ald that he would pre
Mill the matter at the next
council meetina for further con
Mill-ration. Director Jack Sumner
wa apiMilnted to go to a coun
cil mwtinB to iirt-MMit the mat
ter, but the date of the next
meeting July 1 inflicu with
a KtMM-tal board mrt'llna which
will be held In the evening of
the third election on the school
budget.
Stalemate en Grounds
The matter of the school
grounds acrotts from the admin
istration buihliiiL' in Lexington
came up again. The district and
the citv of Lexington nave oeen
attempting to work out an ar
rangement whereby the city
might use the grounds for park
purposes. However, the city does
not wish to muintaln the
i-mnnft unless the property Is
riven to the town. The school
board proposed an agreement
that would Bive It to the city,
sublect to reverting to the dis
trict In a case of emergency
need, but this the city rejected.
At the meet nil Monday nignt,
Director Tibbies moved that the
Lexington grounds be left as
they are in the possession of
the district and the motion
passed.
Receipts Down SI 30.000
In his financial report at the
start of the meeting, Daniels
said that actual tax collections
for the yeai ending are $100,000
below those anticipated and tnat
total receipts are down about
$130,000 below those budgeted
The year's budget is not over
expended but is about $5,000
under-expended. Failure of re
ceipts to come in as anticipated
however, means that the dis
trict will conclude the year with
a deficit. Some more tax turn
overs probably another $30,000
to $35,000 can help the situa
tion. Uncollected taxes In the coun
ty are about docble the amount
uncollected last year at the
same time, he said.
Daniels reported on progress
at Riverside school, saying that
plumbing is 92', h completed;
heating 807r completed; electric
al work, 85 ; cabinet work, 757r ;
gym floor, 55; painting, 60;
and plastering, 80.
The board agreed to a plan
for installation of two fire hy
drants outside the Riverside
school, running from 4-inch wa
ter mains. Fire protection in
stallations inside the school
meet all state requirements,
Daniels said. The superintend
ent further reported that the
City of Boardman is working
for a class 7 fire rating that
would save in fire insurance
costs. The rating would save the
school district about $400 per
year on insurance at Riverside.
Bid Call Authorized
Authorization was given the
clerk by the board to call for
bids on gasoline, fuel oil, anti
freeze, contract runs and other
services.
The board authorized clerk's
bond and instructed the clerk to
balance the books for the year
and call for the annual audit.
Reports of the Heppner High
school work experience program
were presented by Hal Whita
ker, coordinator, in mimeo
graphed form. A letter was read
from Father Raymond Beard
thanking the district for use of
the Heppner Elementary build
ing for vacation whool.
Another diwutuilon wai held
on the proponed Intermediate
education liuirut with Daniels
reporting on a meeting held In
L Grande on June 7.
Origlnullv Morrow was ached
uled to form a district with
Umatilla. However, the Morrow
tx.ii rd favored a district with
Union, Umatilla and Morrow,
lliis was rejected by the Mate
because it would isolate Wal
lowa countv. At the La Grande
meeting a district comprising
Umatilla, Union. Wallowa and
Morrow was favored, but the
Morrow board U not In favor
of thin because Wallowa and
Morrow will contribute more in
funds than they will receive. If
the 4 countv district Is estab
llshed. it Is understood that
Morrow county, or any of the
other counties, have a certain
tieriod in which to remonstrate,
An election would follow, and
a countv can vote itself out with
a simple majority casting Dai
lots to do so.
The Umati a board will come

County Budget
Aims at Economy;
Some Costs Up
(Continued from page 1)
some $23,000 per year, although
the land reappraisal cuts this
figure, and this Is reflected in
the higher budget. The depart
ment will get an estimated
$10,000 In revenue from traffic
flnei which formerly went to
the peneral fund but is now
HHHlfied to go to the road fund.
Equipment Being Replaced
The countv plans to replace
some eauinment in the road de
partment. Five new trucks were
purchased earlier In the year,
two of which were ttublort to
povment after July 1. One trac
inr nUn will be replaced.
"Upkeep on the old tractor has
been killing us," tne judge suiu.
The wed levy budget was re
duced somewhat, dropping to
$7500 from $SS00. The exception
ally dry year entered into the
thinking of the committee on
this, assuming that the weed
growth, therefore, may not be
as great.
"However, we may regret cut
ting this fund." the judge said.
In the 1967 68 budget Pioneer
Memorial hospital received $23.
000. but this sum has been cut
to $10,000 for 1968-69. The hos
pital shows a good cash carry
over and increased receipts that
make It feasible to cut the fund.
Also In the '67-68 budget a
sum of $1000 was provided to
wards the publication ol tne
Morrow countv history book.
This has not been turned over
to the committee, but the $1000
is continued in the 19(8-t9
budget. This is not an addition
al $1000, but the fund is mere
ly continued into the next year.
County Agent Expense Down
County agent's expense is
down slightly, a review of the
hudeet shows. The contingency
fund has been increased $2500.
Park funds have been dropped
to $5000 from S8000 and this is
tiansfcrred to the park fund in
the road department. However,
some of the difference will be
offset by use of road machinery
in developing parks.

$3920 was budgeted in 1967-68.
However, offsetting the expen
ditures for the coming year will
be increased matching money
from the state, something in the
neighborhood of $3000.
A total of $2000 was cut from

fund, dropping it to 5.JOOU. A
committee was appointed two
years ago to make recommenda
tions, and a plan of $5000 per
year in improvements to the
courthouse was approved. How

this year it was decided to cut
$2000 from the annual mainten
