The Bureau of Land Man

Oregon area worthy of further

inventory of BLM-managed
land along the proposed route
of a natural gas pipeline
through central Oregon.
BLM's Oregon State Direct
or Murl W. Storms has asked
for review of the inventory in a
public comment period ending
Jan. 21, after which he will
announce his decision regard
ing further study.
Storms has scheduled in
formational meetings in Port

p.m. at BLM's Oregon State
Office, 729 NE Oregon St.,
Room 15; and ' in BLM's
Prineville District Office, 185
E 4th St., Dec. 20 at 1 p.m. and
7 p.m.
Inventory Unit OR-5-1,
recommended for wilderness
study in the preliminary
finding, is located along the
John Day river, 17 miles west
of Condon in Sherman and
Gilliam counties. It contains
9,740 acres of public land,
mostly steep canyons and
draws draining into the John
Day river. Ridgetops are
about 1,700 feet above the
river.

increase in Oregon," states
Major Jim Newton, Oregon
Recruiting and Rentention

incentives."
According to Newton, quali
fied non-prior service high
school graduates will have the
choice of two options. The first
is accepting a $1,500 bonus for
a six-year enlistment. Half of
the money would be paid after
completion of basic training,
and the remainder would be
paid at certain intervals
during the next four years.
The second option would be
that of receiving up to $2,000 in
educational benefits, to be
given in a four-year increment
of $500 dollars each for
attendance at an accredited
institution or a recognized
trade, technical or vocational
school.
Present members of the
Guard in designated units will
be eligible for reenlistment
bonuses. A bonus of $1,800 has
been authorized for a six-year
reenlistment, and $900 for a
three-year extension. Those
eligible for the bonuses must
have completed less than nine
years of service.
