WEARING SWIM SUITS, 7,136 new members of Jehovah's Witnesses are baptized at
Orchard Beach, Long Island, N. Y., setting new record for twentieth century.
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

It has been stated that the
county commissioners are now
working on a plan to move
the old Applegate river bridge
to replace, the bridge over
the Illinois river on the
O'Brien-Waldo rd.
Two plans have been under
discussion but the plan to
build an entirely new struc
ture would involve more cost
than to move the present steel
structure. At the same time,
it is planned to relocate a
portion of the road in such a
manner to eliminate the ap
proach curve near the present
bridge.
At the regular meeting of
the Cave Junction city coun
cil, the permanent appoint
ment of Phil Kellar as police
chief was unanimously agreed
on.
Kellar who had retired
from office came back to fill
the post temporarily when
the resignation of Rpss Turpin
left a vacancy. Several ap
plications for the job have
been received, but all have
been placed on file. Members
of the council have been sat
isfied with Kellar's work and
felt no need to look into the
applications.

Some S.000 acres of range
land in poor condition were
plowed and seeded to desir
able perennial grasses and
about 7,000 acres of undesir
able sagebrush-covered lands
were treated to permit the re
turn of palatable shrubs and
grasses. Heath said that soil
has been stabilized on the
areas treated through an im
proved vegetative cover and
palatable forage for livestock
and wildlife greatly increased.
Such projects, he added, are
designed to produce or main
tain a productive vegetative
cover in order to prevent de
terioration of soil resources
and to conserve water.
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.
