Is That So?
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.

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.

1957 Timber Sale Plan
Started by BLM Here
The Medford office of the bu
reau of land management is be
ginning work on the 1957 calen
dar year timber sale plan for
O and C and public domain land.
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

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.
