is&'abli.shmein)& off AJft. Jeffffersoim Wold Aire ! . Portland - Establishment of -a 96,944 -acre Mt. Jefferson Wild Area in the Oregon Cas cade! has been proposed by J. Herbert Stone, regional forest er of the U.S. forest service. , Under intensive forest serv ice study for the past few years, the proposed new Wild area would take the place of the existing 86,700-acre Mt. Jefferson Primitive Area which has been so classified since the early 1930s. - The prospective Mt. Jeffer son Wild Area, dominated by the namesake peak which is Oregon's second highest mountain, is located about 60 miles southeast of Salem and takes in portions . of the Deschutes, Mt. Hood, and Wil lamette National forests. The area, averaging about six miles In width, extends along the Cascades crest from the vicinity of Breitenbush Lake southward approximately 24 miles, almost to the Santiam highway. "This is a magnificent al pine recreation area for hikers, riders, hunters, fisher men, photographers and mountain climbers," Stone said. 200 MiUi of Trails - Besides 10,497-foot Mt, Jef ferson, the proposed Wild area also features nearly 200 miles of trails and nearly 100 lakes, at least half of which are con sidered good fishing prospects. There is an abundance of wild game, including mule deer, black -tailed deer, elk, bear, and cougar. Stone explained that the Mt. Jefferson Wild Area pro posal is in line with forest service objectives to reclassi fy all primitive areas which have a predominate value as wilderness. :- A public hearing will be held locally beforehand if there appears to be sufficient public interest. The public hearing record and the Re gional Forester's recommen dations will be forwarded to Forest Service Chief Edward P. Cliff for final action. Ba Best Use "Our studies have shown that Wild area classification would be the highest and best use for the Mt. Jefferson area, and would be in harmony with the multiple-use; concept of National Forest manage ment," Stone said. While about 1.3 billion board feet of timber is located within the proposed wild area boundaries, the timber pro- PET TALK By M. I. L. SUMMER HINTS There is nothing more im portant during this hot weath er than to have cool, clean water available at all times for all animals. Especially re member the caged animals and birds, the dogs on chains and horses worked or ridden in blistering heat. Check your pels for fleas and other parasites. Any vet erinarian will recommend a good remedy. Don't allow a cat or dog to suffer for a few minutes time. Brush long-haired cats daily as a preventative for stomach hair-balls and try a little vegetable oil in food or a few yeast tablets daily for general health and glossy fur. A number of cats and dogs have been reported as missing this summer. Valuable ani mals are often stolen, taken to other localities and sold. Licensed pets as well as un licensed are picked up. Tags are destroyed. Other stolen animals are sold to labora tories for experimental pur poses. As you disperse on va cations be sure that the pet you leave behind will not suf fer from lack of food, water or shelter. CRUELTY Cruelty to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and ignoble people. Whenever one notices them, they constitute a sure sign of ignorance and brutality which cannot be painted over even by all the evidence of wealth and luxury. Statistics prove that hu mane organizations are uni versally sustained by those in lower income brackets, but with true education and true learning. It has often been said, that If animals could vote, speak . iivnrl mnnev. there would be more prosperious humane societies. Just because one iJom not beat or starve ani- ma u he fancies himself a kind person. But. not to be actively kind, is cruel. j A Daily Thought I Let me tonight look back Across the span 'Twixt dawn and dark and To my conscience say Because of some good act B To beast or man "The world is better that I lived today." duction potential is relatively low because of shallow, rocky soils and low soil fertility. There is almost no grass-producing land except for scat tered meadows offering lim ited forage for pack and sad dle stock. Forest Service Wilderness and Wild areas are identical in purpose and management, the regional forester explain ed, with these exceptions: Wild areas are under 100,000 acres and are classified by the Forest Service chief, while Wilderness areas are more than 100,000 acres and are classified by the Secretary of Agriculture. Harvest Not Permitted Timber harvest, road con struction and commercial de velopment are not permitted Medford Tribune SECTION D MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 11, 1963 PAGES 1 to 8 under either classification, while grazing, hunting, fish ing and prospecting are per mitted.. The proposed Wild area status for Mt. Jefferson would represent a gain of 10.244 acres over the existing primi tive area classification. Addi tions would include the 3,970 acre Candle Creek area, con sisting of extensive lava flows surrounding an island of Douglas fir, ponderosa pine and white fir. Also included would be 5,447 acres in the Santiam Pass vicinity, 630 acres around Pamelia, Lake, and 819 acres along the south fork of the Breitenbush river. The proposal calls for ex cluding 1,440 acres along Min to creek, Including parts of Lizard and Bingham Ridges, because the area has only lim ited Wilderness value and con tains commercial forest land which should be managed for timber production. A 393-acre area around Marion lake also would be omitted to become part of a new 1,430-acre scenic area, ac cessible by trail only, which would Include Marion lake, Marion Falls, and Lake Ann. Management plans for this area will provide for protec tion of natural and scenic beauty, while improved camp grounds will be developed at several points around Marion Lake to accommodate heavy recreation use. Additional information on the reclassification proposal may be obtained from the su pervisors of the Deschutes, Willamette, and Mt. Hood National forests and from the regional forester.
