What does the smallest of our deer, the tiny Key deer of Flori da have in common with our largest of meat-eating animals, the grizzly? Or for that matter, with our crocodile? Or, with the tallest of our birds, the whoop ing crane? Or the largest of our birds, the condor? Or, our green turtle of soup fame? Or our swiftest and haughtiest of birds. the peregrine falcon? - This: After evolving and ex isting for a million of years, each of these noble animals has come to the zero hour. Along with some thirty other Ameri can species, every one is on the brink of extinction. And wheth er any or all of these continues or disappears forever rests in our hands, and in our hands only. The summons for help comes none too soon: of the Key deer, which stands 24 inches high, there are now 130; of the majes tic California condor, 60; of the whooping crane, 28; of the larg est of our American woodpeck ers, the ivory-billed woodpeck er, perhaps one or two exist for them, it is already hopeless! Other American animals -now making their last stand are the gray and red wolf, the desert and Sierra bighorn sheep, the manatee our mermaid of the sea, the Caribbean monk seal, the Tule elk, black-footed ferret, kit fox, woodland caribou; in the Great Lakes the white fish and lake trout of the latter, only 20 years ago 50,000 were taken where last year only eight were taken! Only Three Kites Of other birds whose clear voices may be stilled and the flash of their plumage wiped out, there are in addition three Kites, the roseate spoonbill, the Hudsonian godwit, the Florida sandhill crane, the Laysan teal, the nene, the Aleutian tern, the Florida burrowing owl, the red- bellied hawk, Kirtland's warb ler, the Cape Sable seaside spar row, Eskimo curlew, trumpetr swan, and Attwater's prairie chicken a relative of our once plentiful but now extinct heath- hen. To say that greedy man with gun, trap and rod brought about this extermination would be tell ing the popular story but not the full one. In some areas, ex tinction or near-extinction has been brought about by well meaning, uninformed people. They introduced rats, rabbits, goats, mongoose and birds with diseases. In others, animals' homes were destroyed by poi sonous pollution of water, burn ing of forests, overgrazing of grasslands, usurping of- winter forage areas in the lowlands. In others, it was the careless but sometimes profitable draining of swamps and marshlands. The final answer as to wheth er these species now backed into the corner of extinction will sur vive or not depends upon you and me! Will we rebuild what has been ' destroyed? Except for the Ivory-billed woodpecker, it is not a hopeless cause; look what we have done during the past half century the buffalo, the Alaska fur-bearing seal, the sea otter all of these near-extinct species are to day staging successful come backs. And all were doomed. - At the same time, keep in mind the urgency, the immedi acy of doing something: the heath hen, the Merriam elk. the stellar sea lion, the passenger pigeon, the sea mink, the Great auk, the laborador duck, the Carolina Paroquet, all these are no more.

LOW IN PRICE Juliana, Husband Make Appearance The Hague, Netherlands (U.PJ Queen Juliana and her husband, Prince Bernhard, Sunday will make their first public appear ance together since rumors of a rift between them came to world wide notice. In an unusual announcement, the Dutch Olympic Committee said the royal couple and two of their daughters, princesses Irene and Margriet, will attend a fund-raising sports exhibition at Amsterdam Olympic Stadium. Dutch royalty frequently has at tended the meet but always without advance notice. On June 15 Prime Minister WUlem Drees called an unprece dented press conference to deny that Queen Juliana's association with faith healer Greet Hofmans had caused trouble in the Dutch cabinet. He also denied that the royal couple was considering divorce or that there was any chance the Queen would abdicate. Prince Bernhard was reported to be bit terly opposed to Miss Hofmans. But Drees refused to answer questions on the faith healer's influence over the Queen. He said Miss Hofman's activities had been investigated and found perfectly legal.

Forest industry representa tives who wish to suggest that specific tracts of timber be among those offered for sale next year may contact the office in the Medford city hall for blank forms. Assistant District Forester John Carnegie stated that the deadline for submit ting suggestions is Aug. 15. Factors Considered The district forester and his staff prepare the plan on the basis of the volume of timber that can be sold under scientific sustained yield management. They also consider manpower available to prepare and super vise sales, the necessity for sound silvicultural practices, and the interest indicated by prospective purchasers in speci fic tracts. Priority will be given timber suggested by industry, providing that certain require ments are met. . All timber to be sold must be either old growth or salvage. Tracts approved for inclusion in the plan will be well scattered throughout the entire district. No sale will be scheduled if it is too large for the average oper ator. No timber will be offered unless equal access can be as sured for all prospective pur chasers. Terms and conditions of access are available to any bidder in advance of the sale. Other Requirements The bureau also requires that the manufacturing of the timber into lumber, plywood, pulp, etc. must be accomplished within the boundaries of the marketing area in which it is located, ex cept for incense cedar which may be manufactured in any of the three marketing areas. The only other exception is that sal vage timber that does not re ceive a bid may be processed' in any O&C marketing area if pur chased within 90 days of the date the timber is first offered for sale. There are three mar keting areas in the Medford dis tiict: Klamath, Jackson, and Josephine. The plan as proposed by the district forester is reviewed by the state supervisor of the bu reau and by the district advi sory board, and any necessary changes made before the plan is adopted and made public some time in December. Eighth Plan The 1957 plan will be the eighth the bureau has prepared in which the location and ap proximate volume of each tim ber tract, and the calendar quarter during which it will be offered for sale, has been publi cized prior to the beginning of Sunday, June 14, 1958 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE FIVH California Woman Killed in Accident Newhall, Calif.

A large portion of the forest industry in the Medford district is partially or wholly dependent on BLM timber. Consequently, Carnegie said, the bureau has been making a special effort to prepare and announce the an nual sale plan so that the forest industry can better plan their operations, and so that all will have ample opportunity to ex amine each tract of timber and participate in the bidding.
