Land Management Activities
Reach Anticipated Peak Here
h'euberger Opposed
To Appointments
Portland-flJPD-Sen. Richard
L. Neuberger (D-Ore.) said
here Thursday night that po
litical appointments to West
Point, Annapolis and the Air
Force Academy should be
abolished.
He told the Lynch Park
school PTA that the Coast
Guard Academy followed "the
proper procedure, with no
Congressional appoint m e n t
necessary to secure entrance
as a cadet."
"Our military services de
serve as regular officers the
finest of the nation's youth,"
he said, "from the standpoint
of intelligence and physical
fitness, and political endorse
ment should have nothing
whatsoever to do with.it."
Land management activi
ties in the Medford bureau of
i land management district for
the three months' period end
ing Sept. 1 reached the antici
pated peak, according to Dis
trict Manager Ross A. Young
blood. Sales activities during the
period went along at a rapid
clip, with 41,278,000 board
feet being sold at an average
bid price of $35.60 per thou
sand. The volume of timber
was appraised at $1,120,
723.90, but the bidders
thought it was worth $1,470,-
431.95.
Timber sold was located in
12 tracts with an average vol
ume of 3,440,000 board feet
per tract; the bulk of the vol
ume was located in Josephine
county. Klamath county rated
second in the bulk of the vol
ume sold, and in that county,
10,577,000 board feet was
bidded in; approximately all
of this volume went to Klam
ath Falls mills.
Lack of Roads
The BLM expected to offer
and sell, in the same period,
47,607,000 board feet of tim
ber, but lack of adequate ac
cess was the impediment that
blocked offering the total vol
ume planned, Youngblood
said.
Collections of all classes for
the period was about three
fourths of a million dollars
above the actual bid-in price
of the timber sold, he said.
Collections totaled $2,142,
314.25. As a comparison, col
lections in the current-year
period were about $676,000
above those for the same pe
riod a year ago.
The increase in collections
could mean the effects of two
things, Youngblood noted.
One is that timber is being
cut at a more rapid rate than
it was a year ago, and two,
that, the volume of timber
sold in the present period in
creased over the volume sold
in the same period last year.
On the basis of the O and C
Act of Aug. 28, 1957, 75 per
cent of the amount collected
is distributed to the 18 west
ern O and C counties in lieu
of tax payments on a pro
rata basis; but with the ap
proval of the counties, 25 per
cent is retained and reappro
priated by the Congress for
the construction of access
roads and the reforestation of
denuded O and C lands.
Trespass Cases
The processing of trespass
cases absorbed a good amount
of manpower during the three
month period. Thirteen cases
were processed and total col
lections amounted to $9,722.
39. Compared to the last fiscal
year, the collection for the
past three-month period was
above average, he said.
The volume of timber on
the average case processed
totaled 12,000 board feet and
was valued, on single!-stump-age
appraisal basis, at $298.50;
thus, the total value of all
timber trespass cases process
ed during the period was
$3,880.79. The majority of the
trespass cases were in Jack
son county, he said.
The highest collections,
next to timber sales, during
the past quarter was for ac
cess road maintenance fees.
A total of $9,938.86 was col
lected, with the majority of
the money coming from BLM
Galice and Kelsey-Mule Creek
access roads. The bureau of

public roads does the mainte
nance work on the major ac
cess roads for the BLM.
In the early summer the
West Fork of Evans. Creek
access road was completed,
but at the present no main
tenance has been performed
on the road by the BLM.
Since this is in the granite
soil area of Jackson county,
it is expected that some main
tenance work will be required
on the road during the winter
months to keep it from de
teriorating, Youngblood said.
Bridge Offered
In the three-month period,
the Thompson Creek bridge
in central Josephine county
was offered for construction,
and Rolla Bryant of Medford
was the successful bidder at
$16,613.20. Supervision of con
struction is under the bureau
of public roads.
Bids were opened Oct. 21
for construction of . the Can
trail bridge on the Applegate
river just west of Rucn. Con
struction of the bridge over
the Applegate river' will open
up approximately 10,000,000
acres of O and C timberlands
with an estimated volume of
64,000,000 board feet of mer-.
chantable timber, Youngblood
said.
The current timber sale
plan for the 1960 fiscal year
required the removal of sev
eral tracts of timber over the
proposed Cantrall bridge, but
the lack of getting the design
of the bridge completed pre
eluded offering the timber on
schedule, he added.
The bureau also plans to
advertise the construction of
the Galice "C" Section, an
extension of the Galice access
road in western Josephine
county. It is expected that the
new road will make available
a volume of timber in excess
of 120,000,000 board feet of
BLM timber.
Under Consideration

will open up in excess of
680,000,000 board ' feet of

in me jjeaa inaian-neno area.
This road is known as the
Keno access road and, when
completed, will be approxi
mately 28 miles long.
Tareet date for the com
pletion of the road is the fall
of 1960. The completion of
the eastern portion of the
road will be of great value
to Klamath Falls mills, he
said.
During the period the BLM
had a bureau of public roads
location survey crew engaged
in making road surveys in
Jackson county. Approximate
ly 18 miles of road were lo
cated in the Lost creek and
Soda creek areas.
The approaches and design
of the Murphy Gulch bridge
were made by the bureau of
public roads survey crew. The
local office's engineering staff
made extensive road recon
naissances in the Whiskey
creek-Lucky Boy area of west
ern Jackson county. During
the period 16 miles of timber
sale roads were constructed
by BLM timber buyers; the
estimated cost of the 16 miles
of road is $170,000.
Twelve right-of-way agree
ments were completed during
the period, one of importance
being with the Weyerhaeuser
company and involving inter
mingled blocks of BLM and
Weyerhaeuser company land
in western Klamath and east
ern Jackson counties. The
BLM acquired asements from
the Weyerhaeuser company
kfor the construction of the
Keno access road. Also, a
right-of-way agreement was
completed with the Medford
Corporation, involving BLM
and Medco lands in the Butte
Falls area.
Reforestation Program .
The Medford BLM district's
reforestation program pro
trresseri alone satisfactorily
during the three-month pe-1
riod, Youngblood noted. Scari
fication work was started on
495 acres. The work is not
expected to be completed un
til early next spring. A goal
of 2,500 acres for planting
was set by the BLM during
the current fall period; how
ever, the lack of availability
of seedlings may preclude ob
taining this goal. At present
it is expected that this dis
trict will be short 100,000
seedlings, although no ac
curate count can be made un
til the time of lifting of the
seedlings from the nursery, he
said. t
BLM foresters are present
ly assisting in the readying
of 507,000 ponderosa pine
seedlings which are to be
planted on 879 acres under
tprms of BLM timber sale
contracts. Presently it is ex
pected that bids for the plants
ing of 700 acres will be offer
ed shortly.
Treating of 4,500 infected
sugar pine trees with acti
dione to kill the infection
was performed during the
period. It is expected the
Rockefeller Favors
Hew York for Fair
Washington -(CPD- Gov. Nel
son A. Rockefeller said Fri
day New York City should be
the site of the 1964 World's
Fair because it has been "for
many years a dramatic sym
bol of free America itself."
Rockefeller headed a New
York task force in the "battle
of three cities" over a loca
tion for the next World's Fair
in the United States. Washing
ton and Los Angeles are vying
with New York for the
honor.
The three cities sent dele

feasibility of a fair in the
United States and report on it

treatment will immunize the
young trees for a period of
at least 10 years. Ribes eradi
cation work was confined to
blister rust control units
where logging was recently
performed, he said.
Bureau employees have
found that the use of the air
plane is a benefit in making
preparations for timber sales,
helping in the location of
roads, finding bug - infected
trees, . and developing long
range forest resource plans.
In this period, the BLM
men utilized 15 hours of fly
ing time. The plane used for
this service, wjs rented from
the Rogue Valley Flying
Service and was piloted by
Stanley Y. Shepard, BLM em
ployee. Shepard is an experi
enced pilot, getting his Initial
experience in the Navy dur
ing the war and having flown
for Pan-American Airlines a
couple of years or more be
