Eisenhower Plays
36 Holes of Golf
Augusta, Ga. - (LTD - Presi
dent Eisenhower is playing
golf as if his living depends
on it.
To the amazement of peo
ple familiar with hit medical
record, the Chief Executive
played 36 holes Thursday at
the Augusta National Golf
Club where he has been vaca
tioning since April 7.
This was the most the Presi
dent has played since he suf
fered a heart attack in 1953
a few hours after playing 27
holes in one afternoon at the
Cherry Hills Country Club in
Denver.
Since his arrival April 7,
Eisenhower has played at
least nine full rounds of g61f,
including Thursday's double
header. He missed two days
last Sunday when it rained
and Monday when he flew to
Washington.
Eisenhower moves around
the course almost entirely by
electric cart, walking on some
of th? iownhill fairways and
arour.:! the tees and greens.
BLM Officials Report Timber Sales
For Quarter Below Same Period in 1958
The volume of timber of
fered for sale by the Medford
district of the bureau of land
management for the first
quarter of 1959 was below
the same period in 1958, BLM
officials report.
The total volume offered
in the period was 25,518,000
board feet; of this total, 24,
521,000 board feet was from
O and C lands and 997,000
from public domain lands.
The total price offered was
$898,019.90. Records show
that more timber was readied
for sale than was sold. Lack
of proper access was given as
the reason the total volume
readied for sale was not
placed on the market.
Timber Collections
Timber collections during
this same period' for the
O and C lands totalled $587,
062.60, and for the public
domain lands, $12,552.55-for
a total timber collection of
S599.615.15. Revenues for the

United Press International, when hi older brother,

suddenly during World War II.
Simon has carried on ever since brilliantly, and with
an impartiality all tide have praised to cover the
big news that the little country of Israel has made.

MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE
Medford district are segre
gated into the two classes
which the district administers.
Of the revenue collected
from the O and C lands, 75
per cent is returned to the
O and C counties to substitute
in lieu of tax payments. Of
the receipts from public do
main lands, 95 per cent goes
into the reclamation fund pur
suant to the Reclamation Act
of 1902, and 5 per cent to the
state in which the lands are
located
As the total timber collec
tion is about $300,000 under
the bid price paid for the
timber during the quarter,
it indicates that the cutting
on the O and C timber sale
contracts is rapid following
the signing of the contracts.
This shows that the timber
sold is felled and cut and the
logs sawed into lumber or
made into plywood and placed
into the consumer market
soon following the buying of
the timber by BLM bidders
Reforestation Contract
During this same period one
reforestation contract was let
having a value of $7,522.37
Also 487,000 seedlings were
pianted on O and C land.
They were 461,000 ponderosa
pine seedlings and 26,000
Douglas-fir seedlings. During
this period Assistant District
Manager John Carnegie di
rected Boy Scout Troop 1 of
Medford in the planting of
1,000 ponderosa pine trees on
O and C land. Because of the
lateness of the season, tree
planting continued on into the
month of April as the weath
er was more favorable
Grazing use was active and
during the period 12 leases
were renewed and one new
lease approved for a total of
18,684 acres. Rental for the
13 leases amounts to $585.94.
In this period the total rental
collected on all classes of land
permits amounted to $3,616.41
from O and C lands and $1,
173.70 from public domain
lands.
Inventory Completed
One of the jobs accomplish
ed was the completion of the
field and office work on the
inventory for the O and C
lands in the district. Dead
line date for completion of
the job was March 15. The
result of the new inventory
increased the allowable cut
for the O and C lands in the
Medford district from 170,
000,000 to 221,000,000 board
feet per year.' Inventory on
the public domain lands is
still underway.
During the quarter the dis
trict acquired 6 easements
since, BLM timber cannot be
offered on the market until
access is assured equally to
all bidders.
Right-of-War
Eleven right-of-way applica
tions were processed and ap-Rights-of-way
are given to
timber operators who desire
to log private timber and
must cross BLM lands.
The processing of field in
vestigations on timber tres
pass cases was below normal
although eight demand letters
were sent involving a volume
Of 113,000 board feet valued
at $2,427.00.
The only access road con
struction job underway is the
West Fork Evans Creek road,
where grading and finishing
of the road bed remains. The
Lewis River Logging com
pany of Washington is the
contractor on this timber ac
cess road. The project is ex
pected to be completed by
June 1.
One bureau of public roads
location survey crew has been
working in Jackson county
and on Deer creek in Jose
phine county where they have
finished locating 15 miles of
feeder-type access road
One BPR maintenance
cr,ew has been located at Gal
iee throughout the year by
the district. The crew has
opened up the Galice access
road which had been snow
bound since about Dec. 1 and
reconditioning of the road is
expected to start soon. Crews
have already rocked the Kel
sey-Mule Creek access road
so it is now in condition for
some winter hauling. Mining
damage to the lower end of
the Galice road was repaired
Russ Boss Makes
Debut as Author
On 65th Birthday
Moscow-(DPD-Soviet Premier
Nikita Khrushchev marked
his 65th birthday Friday by
making his debut as a major
author.
There was no public com
memoration of the birthday
but Soviet newspapers front-
paged the publication of
Khrushchev's first important
book, "To Victory in Peace
ful Competition With Capital
ism." Relative Solitude
The Premier himself was
spending the day in relative
solitude at his Yalta hunting
lodge where he has been vaca
tioning for three weeks.
Diplomatic sources have re
ported he is "having to slow
down" and there seemed to
be more than mere diplomatic
formality in the wishes for
"health and long life" reach
ing him at his vacation hide
away in the Crimea.'
To all appearances the So
viet premier remains robut
and hearty. But the simple
fact of age and almost inhu
man burdens of office were
grounds enough for concern.
Unusual Vacation
Khrushchev left Moscow
last month for an unusual
spring vacation on the Black
Sea, first at the beach resort
of Sochi and now at Yalta.
There was no way of estab
lishing whether recent strain
required a rest, or whether he
merely was taking an early
vacation to leave the summer
free for summit conferences
and a promised state visit to
the Scandinavian countries.
Vale Seed Store
Destroyed by Fire
Vale, Ore. (OPD - Fire that
broke out about midnight de
stroyed the Vale Grain & Seed
store Friday, including a large
stock of feed and supplies.
Cause of the blaze, fought
by Vale volunteer firemen
aided by a Bureau of Land
Management truck, was not
immediately determined. The
loss was estimated at $100,-000.
The fire was spotted by
Martin Strobel, tax driver,
who turned in the alarm, but
by, the time firemen could get
there the flames were out of
control. A railroad box car on
a track behind the store also
was destroyed.
Owner of the store is Hil
ton Clark of Vale.
All BLM roads in the dis
trict have been checked to
determine the amount of main
tenance needed before they
are ready for summer use. A
district road maintenance pro
gram is in the process of be
ing, formulated.
Mining Engineer Stanley
Shepard was added to the
Medford district staff April
1, and is now available for
office consultation and min
eral examination work.
Blister rust control work
was reactivated during the pe
riod, with Robert Warnock,
blister rust control superin
tendent, working in the Kerby
area with four men. The
crew assisting Warnock are
all college men with previous
experience. Four bids for
ribes eradication work were
submitted in March with
Wayne Young successful bid
der with the average bid per
acre of $8.15.
Personnel Change
Unit Forester William Don
ovan was transferred to Wash
ington, D.C. and his successor
has not been selected, offi
cials reported. Also during
the period Norman F. Sloan
was transferred to fish and
wildlife service, Minneapolis,
Minn., and Alan B. Curtis,
who was assigned to the north
west unit, resigned in March.
Wilson Edinger, formerly of
Coos Bay, was transferred to
the district during the period.
League Approves
Proposed Plans
Grants Pass-Approval Of a
tentative proposal for develop
ment of water resources of
the Rogue River basin in Jack
son and Josephine counties
has been given by the Oregon
Izaak Walton league and the
legislative committee of the
national organization.
The organization's stand was
reported to the Rogue River
chapter in Josephine county
by Hugh Moulton, state direc
tor, last week.
The league approved the
tentative proposals made
jointly by the U.S. army corps
of engineers and the State
Water Resources board for the
development of the water re
sources of the Rogue basin
in Josephine and Jackson
counties.
Tentative Proposals
The tentative proposal are
for development of units at
Merlin and Sucker creek in
Josephine county, and Evans
creek, Appiegate river at the
Copper site, Lost Creek, Elk
Creek and Homestead Gulch
on the Rogue in Jackson
county.'
Moulton said that tht state
directors had voted that the
resolution passed here last
November would be the offi
cial position of the state or
ganization. The resolution,
which was presented to the
state convention, had been un
der study by a state commit
tee. It will go before the na
tional convention in June
with a favorable recommenda
tion from the legislative com
mittee.
