Fires Sweeping
Eastern Oregon
Forests, Ranges
By &niied Press International
Thousands of acres of for
est, range and grass lands in
Eastern Oregon were aflame
today and weary firefighters
fought to control the blazes.
At Pendleton, Wright Mallery,
Umatilla Forest Service of
ficer, said he counted 45 fires
in the Ukiah and Umatilla
areas.
Blaze 'Bombed'
The biggest blaze, a 450
acre holocaust that licked at
the edges of the Umatilla Na
tional Forest Tuesday night,
was "bombed" with 1200
pounds of borite solution with
an airplane frying out of La
Grande. Mallery said the so
lution "calmed the fire down"
and kept it from spreading
further. A crew of 25 men
were working above the fire
and expected to get a line
around it Wednesday morn
ing, he said.
Reports indicated that there
were 20 fires in the Ukiah
district 50 miles south of
lndleton, 13 fires in the
Heppner area, at least five
in the Walla Walla district
and several blazes in the Pom
eroy area.-' - "" "' "rr"
Rains No Help
There was some slight rain
fall reported over the Uma

Fires were also raging in
the La Grande area, one a
400-acre blaze on Mt. Harris,
visible from downtown La

Squaw Lakes
Members of the Jackson
county court Thursday will
survey Squaw lakes to study
their possible use as a recrea
tional area, County Commis
sioner Ralph James has re
ported. Squaw lakes are, located
eight miles -east of the Upper
Applegate rd- near Copper.
The survey will be conducted
in answer to a letter from
Cole M. Rivers, district fish
ery agent of the Oregon state
game commission. The letter
states the public may lose use
of the lakes unless some pub
lic agency or group of
agencies arrange with present
property owners to maintain
a recreation area there.
Property surrounding the
lake is owned by A. C. Pierce
"and Mr. and Mrs. Bert Harr.
The Harrs have been using
their property as a recreation
al business, catering to camp
ing, picnicking and fishing.
The Harrs are considering
closing their property to pub
lic use, but are agreeable to
a lease. Rivers' letter stated.
The lower lake is used for
fishing, swimming, boating
and camping. The upper lake
is primarily used by one-day
fishermen. Water-skiing is not
allowed on either lake since a
10-mile per-hour speed limit
has been established. Use of

Pear Harvest in
Area Scattered
The pear harvest in the
Medford district is scattered
so far, according to Clifford B.
Cordy, county horticultural
agent.
Full-scale picking will get
underway in most orchards
about Aug. 1, the county agent
said. Bartletts, which are now
being picked, are sizing up
well, and will be of normal
size and of the usual good eat
ing quality, Cordy added. The
pear harvest is expected to be
close to three million boxes.
The crop is better than
average and better than last
year, in spite of isolated hail
damage,, pear, men.. reported.
Orchardists are still signing
up pickers, and the size of the
crop indicates many more
pickers are needed yet, it was
noted.
In late August, D'Anjous
will be harvested. Growers
will follow up with other va
rities. Approximately two
months of picking is expected
for the complete season.
During last Thursday's
meeting the Medford Pear
Shippers' association, the
group voted to provide D'An
jou pears for the London and
Vienna fairs. The pears will
be shipped from this district
on Aug. 24, it was announced.
Red Cross Blood
Spilled in Wreck
Wolf Creek, Ore. (UPD
The Red Cross today reported
loss of about 20 pints of hu
man blood when a Red Cross
pickup crashed into the rear
of a logging truck near here.
A hospital official from Jo
sephine General hospital in
Grants Pass salvaged 41 pints
of whole blood that did not
break when the truck's load
was spilled on the pavement.
to Visit
Thursday
the lakes has grown from
2,049 people and 598 cars in
1947 to 6,050 people and 1,700
cars in 1957, according to
records kept by the Harrs.
"With improved fishing, the
angler-use only of this area
could be expected to triple
or quadruple," Rivers wrote.
"Much work needs to be done
at Squaw lakes but the game
commission cannot spend a
large sum of money there
until public use of the area
is guaranteed. The commis
sion desires an unencumbered
perpetual access which may
be answered by the purchase
of a strip of land between the
public road and the lake
perimeter."
Rivers suggested a joint
program with the county
court, the forest service, state
game commission and the
Harrs.
A 100 to 150 foot strip
around the perimeter of both
lakes in addition to the access
roads would be all that is
needed for the public, Rivers
suggested. The lower lake has
approximately 1.5 miles of
shoreline and the upper lake
.8 miles.
The forest service wants a
timber-sale access road up
Squaw creek by way of Squaw
lakes, but has been unable to
obtain one so far.

Faubus Chalks Up
Record Majority
In Arkansas Vote
Incumbent Receives
69 Per Cent of Vote
Little . Rock, Ark. (UPD
Gov. Orval E. Faubus today
credited the sending of fed
eral troops to Little Rock in
the integration crisis for a
vote that gave him a third
term by the biggest majority
in Arkansas history.
Almost complete returns
from Tuesday's Democratic
primary gave him 69.5 per
cent of the vote. The rest was
almost evenly divided be
tween his opponents, Little
Rock meat packer Chris Fink
beiner, 37, and Judge Lee
Ward, 52, of Paragould.
. Unofficial returns to United
Press International from 2,274
out of 2,330 precincts in the
state gave: Faubus 261,101
votes; Finkbeiner 60,017, and
Ward 58,438. '
The voting was a condemna
tion by the. people of illegal
federal intervention in the af
fairs of the state and the hor
rifying use of federal bayonets
in the streets of an American
city and in the hails of a pub
lic school," Faubus, 48, said
in a victory statement.
Would Do It Again
He meant President Eisen
hower's sending of 1,000
troops of the 101st Airborne
Division to Little Rock last
September to protect nine
Negroes who enrolled in Cen
tral High school.
Faubus previously had used
two companies of the National
Guard to keep Negroes out, on
the ground that integration of
Central would provoke bloody
violence.
Mrs. L. C. Bates, president
of the Arkansas chapter of the
NAACP, declined to comment
on Faubus' victory. She led the
fight to get theNegroe.s into
' the" school.' 'V . r
Integration itself was not
an election issue, since Ward-
and Finkbeiner were against
it. The issue was what to do
if a school were faced with in
tegration. Faubus said he'd call out
the National Guard again if
he thought it necessary. Ward
and Finkbeiner ' said they
woul:d never use 'the state mi
litia to defy the government.
Sets Pattern
Harry S. Ashmore, Pulitzer
prize-winning executive editor
of the Arkansas Gazette, read
into Faubus' victory a power
ful stimulant to integration re
sistance throughout the South.
He won the Pulitzer prize
for a series of editorials last
fall contending that the issue
was not the right or wrong of
segregation but defiance of
the federal government.
"The governor's course of
resistance has been over
whelmingly endorsed," . h e
said. "It (Faubus victory) has
set the. pattern for other
Southern politicians."
He said it will cut the
ground out from under mod
erate Southern politicians.

the 'proposed disposal areas
are at least one mile from the
nearest residence.
"No disposal area will be
within the view of any resi
dents, and we will give what
ever written assurances or
guarantees may be requested
that no area will be used for
disposal purposes on our two
tracts that are immediately
adjacent -to the Jacksonville
city limits," Jones promised.
