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.

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

Gov. 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.
