TWO MEDfOIlD (OREOOrt) Details of Forester; Cites Independence, Uniformity Recent organisation of the non-profit Southern Oregon Boiling bureau in Ronburg hi l received publicity in south.rn Oregon newspapers. It wnl explained In tome de tall at a meeting of the Sou lharn Otagon Conservation and Trae Farm aiioclslion in Oranii Pan. Both bafora and alnca that meeting there has been considerable discussion of ill advantage! or disadvan tage! In lumber and logging circle!. The following Hale ment wai prepared for lha pros by Karl L, Janouch. former lupervisor of the Bogue River national foreit, and at present forester for the Southern Oregon Sugar Pin corporation, in support of the proposed bureau. In view of the importance of the subject to Jackson county's multl- million lumber industry, jBn ouch's statement is published In full. Space will also be de voted to arguments against the proposed bureau if some qualified lumber industry spokesman should bring them forward. Editor's note. By Karl L. Janouch The lumber Industry is of uch importance and the effect of practice! In handling loss U so great that I think It timely to clear up misunderstanding andor mln-statcmenti regarding the Southern Oregon Selling bureau. The purpose of thi bureau ll to standardize scaling of log! and whan grading of logs li to be conducted, to standardize thia grading. It li alio purpose of the pro moter! of this bureau to secure an Impartial agency to perform the scaling and grading of logs. You will note that the promot er do not mention price for logs nor do they mention price to be paid to logger! for logging timber and transporting the logs to the marketing point. There are several scaling bu reau! In the northwest each of which has iti own scaling and grading rules. These rulea have een drawn up to fit the condi tion and timber characteristic of the locality or region covered by the particular bureau, There were no exiting ical ing bureau whoie scaling and grading rule could ba wholly applied to southwest Oregon and reach satisfactory result, Form Bureau Therefore, several loggers and lumber manufacturers In the Roieburg region felt that an In dependent scaling bureau that oould service the aouthweit Ore- fon timber Industry, Including ogglng and manufacturing, ihould be organized. About a month ago the Soutliorn Oregon Scaling bureau was organized at a meeting of logger and wood niHmiiHclui eri. i was ai hub meeting and attended several ubsoquent meeting for perfect ing the organization, Nine true tee of the scaling bureau war elected. Article of Incorpora tion and by-law were formulat ed, Four loggen, four wood man ufacturer and one United State forest service representative compose the board of trustees: The bureau la organized and I operating. The main office I in Roseburg. Scrlbncri "Decimal C" scal ing rule wa adopted for meas uring log volumes. To List Rules No grading rules have been adopted as final rules for the bu reau, A rules committee for grading fir and rules committee for grading pine are in the proc ess of appointment. The mem bers of these committees are to be selected from the membership and not particularly from the board of trustees. It is planned that the rules committee for pine will largely be Jackson and Jose phine county members. Also, member! from both thcia coun ties are to be selected for the rules committee on grading rule for fir. There I good and sufficient and generally understood reason for Impartial scaling of logs. Many loggers are satisfied with the arrangement whereby all logs arc scaled by the manufac turers and there are many who believe that audi scalers favor the manufacturer. Manufacturers feel the same way about logger scalers. Therefore, an Indepen dent icaler seems (he best an ivcr to secure nn impartial scale since ho Is neither the employee of the logger nor the manufac turer. Furthermore, both logger and manufacturer can appeal to an Impartial agency to set tle any dispute or question re garding volume scaling. The same opportunities are afforded the lnpger and maulacturcr when logs are bought and sold on grade. "Mechanical Service" Publicity on the organization of the bureau stated that the establishment of the bureau In this locality "would have a far reaching effect on the price of logs." This statement la not (ac tual since the bureau would have no ascendency to or con trol of transactions which In volve price schedules for log or logging. The bureau service would only be "mechanical" In nature and it would be governed -r ann ine -si. jompii" name no nlriwr product Just Ilk 11 chUdren lu Its nran. flavor. I.PteosantTesflnf 3.

Rule for scaling and grading as heretofore indicated will be established by loggers and manufacturers to fit andor cover local condition and tim ber characteristics. Prices paid for logging and loga are therefore a matter of negotiation between logger, id lers and buyers. Pricei arc lolcly controlled by market conditions and no mechanical scaling ind grading have any effect. Some opponents of the bureau state that the present price basl for logging, buying and selling logs is not only aatisfactory but is most efficient. To meet this argument and with the same logic, I could propose that ill grade of coffee be aold for one price per pound and that govern Pic kin' Pears By L. J. "Tick" Malarkey This is the story of the stray Bible that went to Jail. Going by the Baptist church recently Bryan Sheffield, a mem ber of Co.

He picked it up and when he could not find a name on the Inside cover he thought that maybe the gollce could locate th owner, o Sheffield took the Bible to Jail. The police found the lady who owned It. And her letter to the finder follows: "Dear Mr. Sheffield: I want to thank you for turn ing my Bible Into the police sta tion. ...

Logs are a product of many grades and sizes andor volumes in the same sense as any product prepared for coniumptlon; for example: coffee, sugar, flour, etc. You would not ask me to get you a lack of flour without stating pound, kind and quality. Sis, Specie, Orad Finally, lumber is graded and measured and sold on size, specie and grade. These sizes, species and grades come from logs of certain sizes, certain species and certain grades.

Missouri Flats Road Work Nearing Finish County road crews have near ly completed the reconduction work in the Missouri Flat area, according to County Commis sioner L. G. "Shy" Morthland, who has Just completed an In spection tour of county roads, He said about five miles of the Missouri Flat road has been re built, widening and straighten ing curves. The Thompson creek road project has already been com pleted Sharp curves were re duced and much of the road was widened. County Engineer Paul Ryn nlng has plans calling for more work in the Dead Indian area In the eastern part of the county IT'S EASY IT'S FUN NOTHING TO BUY If any common ense can be placed behind those that argue that all logs of certain species produced In the woods are worth one price regardless of volume and quality? 1 also ask Is there no room for disagreement be tween buyer and selier if one or the other doe all the grading and measuring? An independent scaler will will give the Impartial and ac curate measure to settle bills for logging. An Independent grader will give in impartial and accurate grade to a log where logs are sold or purchaser on volume and grade. Buyers or sellers of logs and loggers can be assured that they pay or receive ( fair price for logs and manufacturers or log gers can be assured they will receive full value or full pay in or for volume of logs deliv ered If the scaling and grading is performed by an Independent agencv such as the southern Oregon Scaling bureau and only then. and work has already been start ed In the Ice House canyon sec tor. The road will be widened, curves will be reduced and the present paved sections will be extended. Two bridges under construc tion the Roguo river bridge and the Evans creek bridge near Wlmer are both progressing ac cording to plan, Morthland said.

Lake Motors,, Demo Candidate Assails Veterans Hoover Report The Hoover committee recom mendation on veterans' adminis tration would not be an econ omy, but would result In waste and confusion, according to Con gressional Candidate David C. Shaw, Curry county attorney, in an address before the democratic veterans group at the Medford hotol Sunday morning. The occasion was a breakfast Jointly honoring Shaw and the democratic candidate for sheriff, Delroy Aldcrshof, both of whom are World War II veterans, More than 40 attended the break fast. "The change proposed by the Hoover report would dismember the functions of the present vet erans administration, but retain it a a paper agency," Shaw said. "Its functions would be transferred to four other agen cies. So, instead of one agency, it would end up with five doing the job. Where I the economy in this?" 'Repudiation' Charged Shaw further said that If the Hoover committee report were accep'ed It would be a repudia tion of Hoover's own policy as president. It was Presidents Harding and Hoover, he said, who established one department to handle all veterans affairs. Aldcrshof spoke briefly on his candidacy for sheriff. He de clared that If elected he would be responsive to the full needs of Jackson county's people, and be as diligent on behalf of those In the rural areas who had no other police protection as he was to those in the cities. , Miss Phyllis Corliss, accom panied on the piano by Mrs. Rob ert Corliss, gave a group of vocal number.
