BLRA Plans include Planting L3,85oS,O00 Nursery Trees Portland Bureau of land of a part of the counties' share management plans during the new fiscal year which started July 1 include planting 13, 858,000 tree seedlings and 6,770 pounds of tree seed, felling 3.900 acres of snags, and building 44.3 miles of ac cess roads with 11 bridges. In addition, the conserva tion program on range lands of eastern Oregon will con tinue at a high rate exempli fied by fiscal year 1958, ac cording to Virgil T. Heath, state supervisor of the BLM. The. 13,858,000 tree seed lings will be planted on 23,045 acres of O and C lands in western Oregon. The 6,770 pounds of tree seed will be used on an additional 11,361 acres. Some of the work will be done under project con tracts and a substantial amount will be accomplished as a condition of timber sales contracts. Public Domain Plantings Heath said present plans also call for planting 560,000 tree seedlings on 850 acres of public domain and Coos Bay Wagon Road timber lands. Felling of snags on 3,900 acres of O and C land during the new fiscal year will be done as part of the fire hazard reduction program, he noted. Five grading projects on 44.3 miles of access road are expected to cost about $1.75 million. In addition, the road program during fiscal year 1959 calls for 4.5 miles surfac ing on an existing road at a cost of $150,000; building 11 bridges to cost about $250,000, and producing 80,000 cubic yards of gravel for use of timber operators in building roads required by sales con tracts. Work Made Possible Heath pointed out that the forest land rehabilitation and acess road work was made possible by the financial as sistance of the O and C coun ties. The work is paid for out of O and C revenues During fiscal year 1958, the counties provided work which resulted in the planting of 8,587,000 seedlings on 16,930 acres, and use of 7,067 pounds of seed for an addtional 8,879 acres. The 1958 rehabilitation program also included scari fying 6,841 acres for future planting or seeding, treating 1,941 acres with herbicides, clearing 47,589 snags from 7,149 acres in preparation for reforestation and rodent bait ing 3,283 acres of newly seed ed lands to protect the seed lings. Road access work last fiscal year made a significant con tribution to the lumber based economy of western Oregon, Heath pointed out. The pro gram will eventually make an estimated 17,000,000,000 board feet of timber accessible for harvest. Seven Project Contracts During the fiscal year, sev en project contracts totaling' $3,326,000 were let for con struction of 80.6 miles of O and C access road. In ad dition, two contracts for $157,000 call for surfacing 17.1 miles, five contracts for $161,000 call for construc tion of bridges, two contracts for $141,000 to replace three bridges and repair road beds resulting from last winter storms, and additional con tracts totaling $285,000 call for production of 54,000 cubic yards of road surfacing mater ials. Increased emphasis was placed on revegetation prac tices such as crested wheat grass and sagebrush spraying was included in the range con servation and improvement work last year, Heath noted. During the year, more than 11 stock watering reservoirs and small retention dams were constructed. About 50 miles of livestock control fences were built and two stockwater ILLINOIS VALLEY Surgery Patient Better By RUTH RAUSCH Cave Junction Mrs. Gene Pulley Is recuperating at her home in O'Brien after under going major surgery.

Coast Carpenters Postpone Strike San Francisco (UPD Ma rine Carpenters have heeded the request of a group repre senting West Coast shipwork ers and postponed their strike of shipyards from Monday un til Wednesday, union officials reported Friday. Stan Lore, executive secre tary of the Pacific Coast Com mittee of the Marine Carpen ters, said the walkout .was postponed at the request of the Pacific Coast District Metal Trades Council, which represents 90 per cent of the shipyard workers on the coast. The council asked for the extension to decide whether to go along with the carpen ters in their demand for pen sions and other fringe bene fits. , The major issue is the un ion's demand for a 10-cent hourly contribution from em ployers towards, a pension plan. Lore said heretofore the council has shown little inter est in any kind of pension pro gram and, since the carpen ters were only 20 in number, "employers have resisted sign ing a different kind of con tract with us." The carpenters strike will affect yards from San Fran cisco to. Bellingham, Wash. A prolonged strike or a sit down by the workers repre sented by the trade council could idle more than 20,000 workers.
