Plan to Hold Timber
For Canyon Mills
Organization began last Friday
night to halt timber from being
taken from this canyon area unless
it is processed here, as mill men, for­
esters, loggers, and interested citi­
zens met at the Manolis cafe to start
the wheels of the campaign rollhig.
It has long been a tragedy to local
economy when large timber interests
took the canyons’ resources and
processed them elsewhere.
Dick
Kearns, professional forestry con-
suitant from Portland, was the main
speaker for the evening, proving to
be a statistician in his own field.
Mr. Kearns informed the group there
was a way in which all timber taken
from this area would have to be
[processed here. It would entail ap­
plication to the Forest Service for
the setting up of a timber unit in
this area.
other communities and has proved
to be highly successful.
Other speakers during the evening
were Marion county Judge Grant
Murphy, Albert Toman. Mill City’s
mayor. Delbert Hill, Mill City banker
and the mayor of Stayton.
