The remainder is being salvaged by several private landowners including the Southern Pacific Land company, Fruit Growers Supply company and J.,F. Sharp Lumber" company. Timber Removed To date, 94.7 million board feet of fire-killed timber worth S2, 018,332 has been removed from the Yreka ranger district. The bulk of the timber was sold in 31 sales ranging from 550 thousand to 14'2 million board feet. A total of $413,774 has been collected to plant seedling trees in the burned area. An addition al 521,000 has been used in plant ing grass on 6,800 acres as an erosion prevention measure. Rogue valley loggers still op erating in the area include Tal ent Sawmills, Lithia Lumber company, McGrew Brothers and John Wheeler. Volume Remaining The major volume of timber remaining is Douglas fir and white fir. In 1956, the operations were concentrated on the pines which deteriorate rapidly. The fir shows only slight damage to date and is expected to remain in relatively good condition into next summer. Preparation and administra tion of the several salvage proj ects included survey and posting of 100 miles of sale boundaries, cruising of 18,000 acres to ob tain timber volumes, 78 miles of road construction and 20 miles of reconstruction.

Anthony W. LeVier, director of flying operations for Lock heed Aircraft Corp., of Burbank, Calif., said modern jets are "now able to reach the fringes of space so fast that the sky seems to be getting smaller. "Today'i fighters are nudging right into aviation's next fron tier, the thermal barrier, in which heat could impair struc tural strength," he said. He noted that pilots have to think faster "to keep up men tally with the whistling pace of their machines, but the new de velopments being introduced to aid the pilot are simplifying the actual flying job." Chipmunks Said Skillful Saboteurs Lansing, Mich. (U.R) The chipmunk, considered "cute" be cause of his small size and play ful antics, actually is a skillful saboteur, says three Michigan Conservation Department game biologists. The biologists, recently en gaged in ruffed grouse trapping, found themselves harried and harassed by an army of chip munks. Bait placed at traps dis- I appeared as quickly as the Chip- uiuima tuuiu idiiy ik away, Attempts to trap the pests met with little success, as they were not interested in eating but only in filling their cheeks and taking the food back for storage. Although the trapping project was successful, next year the biologists say they will take chipmunks into consideration when planning a similar project. l fall- About 5,000 partially green acres have been treated with poison grain to reduce seed-eating rodent population.
