! . 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-

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

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

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.
