TWO MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May 8. 1956 Logging Road Regulations Will Apply Only to Use Agreements Br A. ROBERT SMITH Mail Tribune Correspondent Washington The four new logging road regulations which the Bureau of Land Manage ment put into effect this past week on the O & C lands will apply only to road use agree ments entered into from here on out. The changes will not apply to the more than 400 arbitration type road agreements currently in effect, explained Walter H. Horning, chief of the BLM's forestry division, unless private land owners involved in these agreements voluntarily accept them. The four changes would: Private Access 1 Permit purchasers of O&C timber to use private access roads or rights-of-way covered by future road-use agreements during the arbitration of differ ences on the terms and condi tions to be paid for use of the loads. BLM has interpreted its old regulations as banning use of reads or right-of-way until agreement had been reached be tween the timber buyer and the private land owner on the road use fees. However, in one noteworthy case near Roseburg, a timber buyer who purchased a tract of O&C stumpage under the BLM emergencysalvage program Dec. 8. 1954, succeded in logging the timber completely before arbi tration had settled his dispute with a landowner over road use charges. This was the Trico Timber company of Dillard, Which went to court after 30 days of unsuc cessful haggling over road fees with Youngs Bay Lumber com pany. Claiming it had to have the timber, the company won court support and went in and cut the timber after posting bond for the road use charges to be agreed to later. Allows Use This new change In the reg ulations permits substantially what occurred in the Trico in stance. It allows use of a road if the user puts up a bond sufficient to cover the amount likely to be awarded through subsequent arbitration; and if the user obtains liability insur ance to protect the road owner from any additional hazard or damage caused by use of the road during arbitration. 2. Permit BLM and private road owners to swap without charge the use of their respec tive, roads when they have ap proximately equal road-use val ues." BLM said in some cases these agreements lead to ' long- term agreements for joint use of road systems which are partly federal and partly privately owned. 3. Provided that permanent easements across private lands for construction of government access roads would be substi tuted for rights-of-way acquired from private owners under road use agreements. Terms, Conditions 4. Require right-of-way per mittees under future permits to state the terms and conditions of use for roads they- own and to authorize BLM to publish such data in advance of timber sales. Horning said BLM officials think this last change "holds the greatest promise" of improv ing conditions for effective tim ber management of the O&C lands. He said by asking road owners to stipulate the terms for road use in advance of tim ber sales in the area, BLM hopes to get "more reasonable terms" which should expedite agree ments between buyers and road owners. "Even if he sets unreasonable terms," said Horning, "the buy er then will know about what it will cost him to use the road be fore he bids on the timber." Horning said that this change should eliminate the problem that sometimes arises when a road owner arbitrarily jacks up his charge to spite a particular buyer whom he may not like. All four changes in the O&C regulations had been "pretty laregly agreed to by all factions" in the timber industry in Ore gon, Horning said. lf8K sti (i (i it lb .14 1 CHURCH TO BE DEDICATED Berean Baptist - church, White City, shown above, will be dedicated at 3 p.m. today.

State Control Board Complete Plans For Mental Hospital Site First Cover Spray For Psylla, Moth Are Recommended First cover spray on pears for control of psylla, codling moth and scab should be completed on May 12, according to L. G. Gent ner, entomologist at the southr ern Oregon experiment station, and Cliff B. Cordy, county hor ticulture agent. In speed sprayers six pounds malathion or three pounds para thion or three pounds EPN plus VA pounds 50 per cent DDT plus seven pounds ziram per acre is recommended. For hose rigs, one pound ma lathion, one -half pound para thion or one-half pound EPN plus VA pounds DDT plus pounds ziram per 100 gallons is suggested. If European red mites are a problem, the recommended amount of organic phosphates will not control them, they pointed out. Where mites are more numerous the spray quan tities should be doubled. Apple Spraying In spraying apples, they rec ommended 10 pounds of DDT plus six pounds parathion per acre applied by May 20. Where pear trees show defi nite yellowness because of iron chlorosis, a normal green color can be restored by adding three pounds. of iron chelate per acre, Gentner and Cordy said. Tests at the local experiment station indicate the treatment not only "greets up" the trees but increases the crop for the following year. For apple thinning, Gentner and Cordy recommended use of four grams of pre-harvest type harmone per 100 gallons. The material should not be mixed with other spray, they cau tioned, but should be applied A Nichol's Worth of . . . Comment On This and That By HARMAN W.

Elmo Smith said plans for the first unit of the hospital would move forward "without delay." The board met yesterday with D. S. Young of Wilsonville who owns or hold options on the prop erty. The Wilsonville decision is contingent on a slight adjust ment in cost, agreement on cer tain conditions of timber re moval on part of the lan dand agreement by Bonneville Power administration to relocate its proposed high transmission line east of the site. Board members said they ex pected little difficulty over the points and estimated the cost of the tract at between' $240,000 and $250,000. Decision on the hospital site was delayed pending an Air Force decision on location of its new Willamette valley jet base. Earlier this week the Air Force decided to locate the base west of Woodburn some 12 miles northeast of the hospital site. Gov. Smith said a total of $8, 300,000 has been appropriated by the Legislature for the first unit of the structure. This will provide 450 beds. In announcing the decision, the board said it was extremely difficult to make a choice out of the many available. But the board said the Wil sonville site was not ' only the least expensive per acre but it had superior topography, water supply possibilities and drainage. Moreover, it is in an especially good tactical position from the standpoint of civil defense. By law the hospital had to be lo cated within a 20-mile radius of the Portland courthouse. Two other sites in the final running were a 401-acre tract east and north of Wilsonville and a 432-acre tract about three miles south of Hillsboro.
