Box 550, Prineville, Oregon 97754, and the Vale District, Baker R. A., P.O. Box 987, Baker City, Oregon 97814. The BLM is seeking input on a proposed land exchange involving more than 75,000 acres of iso lated , BLM-administered land in 6 counties. The land exchange will occur in Baker, Union, Umatilla, Morrow, Grant, and Wheeler counties in two phases. In Phase I, in ex change for BLM tracts the United States would acquire a block of land along the North Fork of the John Day River which straddles the Grant, Morrow and Umatilla county lines, It will adjoin a second piece of land that is located west of the North Fork and includes Ditch and Cabin Creeks drainage on the East, Wall Creek drainage on the West and abuts the Umatilla National Forest to the North. In Phase II, additional lands will be acquired in Baker and Grant counties. Specific loca tions will be determined later. This is an "assembled" ex change involving many differ ent parties including both Vale and Prineville BLM Districts, To facilitate this process, the BLM is working with Clearwater Land Exchange. The purpose of this exchange is to consolidate BLM admin istered land and allow for more efficient management and greater public access. Although the proposal has not yet been formally announced in the Federal Register, the N.E. Oregon Assembled Land Exchange analysis team has started public scoping, in preparation for writing an Environm ental Impact Statement. The Prineville District's Two Rivers (1986) and John Day (1985, 1995) Resource Management Plans and the Vale District's Baker (1989,1992) Resource Managemerit Plan (RMPs) currently provide general management for land tenure adjustments as well as overall land and resource use allocations and resource protection or enhancement. Although it is anticipated that the final decisions for land exchanges considered through this analysis will be in full conformance with the applicable RMPs, it is possible that portions of some actions under some alternatives may require plan amendments. Public meetings concerning this proposal were held in John Day, Baker City, LaGrande, Heppner, and Pendleton this summer. To gather additional comments and information from the public at large, BLM staff are offering a public tour on October 15 and 16, 1996, of lands considered for acquisition and disposal. This tour will give interested groups, agencies, or individuals opportunity to discuss the proposal with BLM staff while visiting acquisition/disposal land parcels on sight. Because of the remote nature of many tracts involved, only a portion of the proposal areas will be included in the tour route, which will be determined by BLM staff. On October 15, the tour will focus on acquisition tracts along the North Fork John Day River from Camas Creek to Potamus Creek, and scattered disposal tracts in UmatillaCounty.On October 16, the tour will visit acquisition areas including rtions of the Wall, Little all. Ditch and Cabin Creek drainage, and disposal tracts near Monument, Oregon. The October 15 tour will leave at 9 :3 0 a.m. from the Ukiah City Park, and the Oct. 16 tour will leave at 9:0 0 am from the River Access Recreation Site, in Monument, Oregon. Tours will end at 4 :0 0 p.m. each day at start location.

Chamber Chatter By C laudia H u ghes, Cham ber M anager People around town some times mention "burnout" or lack of new, innovative ideas in their organizations. What they are really saying is that they are looking for new faces with energy, ideas and enthusiasm, which means new leadership. The La Grande-Union Coun ty Chamber of Commerce newsletter recently carried an article entitled: "Marks of a Good Leader," which stated that leaders are not born into leadership, they are made by their response to circumstan ces. Leadership is the result of a learning process, not the special possession of a few per sons. Good leaders are: consistent in their actions; fair in their decisions; actively demonstrate commitment to the cause; ag gressively approach and solve problems; are enthusiastic about whatever they do; stay on top of things; demonstrate credibility; perform beyond ex pectations; handle a myriad of details effectively; communi cate a clear vision for the future; follow through on their pro mises; keep no secrets from the members of their team; involve people in decision making; in still confidence; affirm their followers; and earn a high degree of trust and loyalty. Step forw ard. H eppner wants to hear from you.
