BLM District on Schedule With Planned Projects During Year The Medford district of the bureau of land management at the end of the third quarter of calendar year 1958 is on schedule with all its planned projects for the year, accord ing to District Manager Ross A- Youngblood. Timber sales in the district are ahead of the schedule set up last fall. ' Half of the in crease in the allowable cut for the Josephine master unit was added onto the 1958 cal endar timber sales plan in July of this year. This in creased ' the total expected sales from 160.3 million board feet to 185 million board feet, he noted, but even with this added volume the timber sales work is on schedule. Timber Sales Total As of Oct. 1, timber sales have totaled 149,212 million board feet from O and C lands, and 688 thousand board feet from public domain lands. Bidding on timber was stronger during the third quarter than in the1 first half of the year, Youngblood not ed. Buyers have paid about $3.50 per thousand board foot more for the timber than the BLM appraisal. For the year to date timber sales have tot aled $3,583,22.23, with stump- ELECT ,"4 i s n i GORDON HUDSON DEMOCRAT for Slate Senator Young Qualified Successful Vet for representation with an ye to the future.

Cutting on BLM contracts has about paced actual sales. This fact is illustrated by col lections which are received in proportion to the rate of cut of the timber. Bureau timber sale regulations do not re quire the buyer of BLM tim ber to pay for the entire vol ume on a lump sum basis, he said. ' Installment Basis Payments may be extended on an installment basis over a two-year period. Payments are collected to keep about abreast of cutting. Since col lections as of Oct. 1 for the year totals $3,057,647.44, the value shows that the rate of cut is close to actual sales value. The rate of cut since July this year has accelerated in comparison to the first half of the calendar year because for the third quarter (July, August, September) collec tions total $1,446,792.37, or al most half of the total collec tions for the past nine-month period. The rate of cut is nor mal for this time of the year as we all know the summer months is the main timber harvest season in this logging area. The Medford bureau of land management district has had some minor sales. Minor forest sales consist of huckle berry brush, Oregon grape, Port Orford cedar boughs, posts-, shale and other forms of rock. Value of this material sold to date for calendar year 1958 is $275. Rents-of-Land Rents - of - land, principally special' use permits charges, grazing use fees, right-of-way permit fees, road mainten ance fees, accounted for $6,i 861.85 of the quarterly col lections. Total collections for the' first nine months ending Oct. 1 in the rent-of-land cate gory were $34,373.74, Young blood said. Trespass, mostly timber, payments for this quarter ac counted for $12,230.52. Little trespass collection was noted until this past quarter, he said. Much activity can be ac counted for in the Medford Forest district in the field of reforestation. Scarification of the soil is the job of readying the non-forested tracts for planting. This work normally includes removal of brush and snag felling. To date for 1958, 3,115 acres have been scarified through competitive contracts and now these acres are ready for planting or seeding. A sizeable sum of $57,176.80 has been obligated to private in dividuals and companies so far in 1958. Julius Purvine of Corvallis was the main bidder on the soil scarification work. Most of the reforestation activity in the district has been confined to this quarter, as out of the $50,689.79 obli gated S42,954.16 in reforesta tion contracts were awarded this quarter, he noted. Most of the successful bidders on the reforestation jobs are not local. Another activity on the BLM Medford district area this quarter was forest fires. Almost all the fires were caus ed by lightning. There were 40 fires on BLM lands this year, mostly all this quarter. Fire ran through 565 BLM acres, and it is estimated that merchantable timber was damaged close to a value of $10,000. The damaged timber is in an inaccessible area, how ever, every possibility for salvaging the damaged tract is being explored. During the past quarter Medford District inventory foresters have completed field type mapping and establish ment of the scheduled per manent sample plot' in the North Jackson county area. Field Type Mapping Field type mapping in the South Jackson county area and in Klamath county is scheduled for completion on Nov. 1. About half of the per manent sample plots will be set by the end of the year Target date for the entire District inventory job is July 1, 1959. More foresters were reassigned to this phase of the district program the last half of the last quarter in an effort to provide a margin of safety. The only unknown ele ment that may prevent the building of the margin is weather, Youngblood said. Right-of-way clearing is about finished on the West Fork Evans creek access road project by Lewis River Log ging company. Ausland Con struction, the sub-contractor on four bridges and two cul verts on the Evans creek proj ect, has started all the struc tures. ' '; "' - Bridge Completed Q. L. Rufener, Inc. of Port land has completed the Snow ,creek bridged which will serve a large block of BLM timber and also a large block of BLM National Forest timber. . The Whitehorse Creek bridge, which is a part of the Rufener contract, is about 98. per cent completed, Youngblood said Bureau of public roads crews during this period fin ished location survey on the West Fork of Elk creek, Salt creek, and the Cantrall bridge on the Applegate river near Ruch.

The arrange ments have tremendously as sisted in preparing the timber sale program for the next year in the Medford BLM district. Good progress in negotiations has ' been reached in getting easements for the Keno access fd., the district manager said. Favorable negotiations were completed with several' pri vate timber organizations in the matter of working out mu tual acceptable road construc tion and road use rights1. Advisory Board Meeting The Medford district advis ory board met early in the quarter to consider Young blood's proposal to . add 25 million board feet of timber to the current year's timber sale program and to review district progress on the year's program. The merits of the proposal were discussed readily by the board, with a recommendation that the extra volume be in cluded with the 160.3 million board feet already .reviewed by the advisory board the pre vious fall. After getting appro val of the Oregon state super visor, - the 25 million board feet were added to the dis trict sale plan. The. Medford district of the BLM completed its planned blister rust , control program in the quarter. District blister rust personnel work in this quarter was confined to checking on the ribes eradi cation by prjvate contractors. District personnel were also utilized in finding and isolat ing blister rust disease resis tant sugar pine trees. Some sugar pine reconnaissance work' was accomplished, Youngblood pointed out. A rough draft on an 18 month timber sale plan was prepared by unit foresters and is being reviewed by the district manager's staff. The sale plan has included the full increase of allowable cut in the Josephine Master Unit which is 102 million board feet, compared to the previous allowable cut of 46.8 million board feet. Any inquiries concerning the program of the Medford district should be directed to the district office at city hall in Medford;. Younblood said.

Memorial Volumes Are Placed in Library Here Honoring the memory of the late Mrs. Charlotte R. Col lins, her family has placed several memorial volumes in the Jackson County library. Because 'Mrs. Collins ' so much enjoyed sharing her love of books with her chil dren and her grandchildren in the junior as well as in the adult departments of the li brary , the family has suggest ed that their cash donation be divided among b o o k s for adults and books for children. Books chosen to memorial ize Mrs. Collins in the chil dren's collection were added copies of the titles selected this year as the most .distin guished contributions to chil dren's literature and illustra tion. These are the Newberry award-winner, "Rifles for Wa tie," by Harold Keith, and Caldecott award - winner, "Time of Wonder," by Robert McCloskey. ' An unusually fine edition of the complete works of Wil liam Shakespeare has been se lected for the library's litera ture collection in memory of Mrs. Collins. This edition, the Players Il lustrated Edition in three vol umes, is distinguished from all others in that it is embel lished ' with . photographs of giving artists in Shakespeare an roies. in inai sense, xne editors believe, it helps to keep Shakespeare alive . and .to show, too, that the major Shakespearean roles can be really , well played by quite young artists. It is their pur pose to encourage young peo ple to enjoy and participate in the production of Shakespeare.
