Chamber To
Have Governor
Here in May
Plans are under way at the present
time by the North Santiam Cham­
ber of Commerce to hold a public
meeting here May 22 at the Mill City
Elementary school gymnasium, when
Governor Robert Holmes will be the
main speaker. Gov. Holmes is ex­
pected to inform those at the meet­
ing of his program. More details
on this open meeting will be given
at a later date, when the committee
makes more definite plans.
Forest District To Be Split
Other main announcement at the
meeting last Wednesday at Mehama
was the fact that the U. S. Forest
department is planning to split the
Detroit district in two, and making
Mill City headquarters for the new
district. A telephone call Friday
forenoon to Robert Aufderheide sup­
ervisor of the Willamette National
Forest at Eugene brought forth the
information that nothing would be
done about the division of the dis­
trict until after this winter's work
program had been carried out. How­
ever the forest service has made ar­
rangements for six houses in Lark
Addition to house the personnel they
plan on housing here. It is expected,
according to Mr. Aufderheide, that
some experienced personnel of the
Detroit Ranger station will be moved
here to supervise the new district
when it is formed. They expect to do
some work on the houses here this
summer, to get them in readiness for
occupancy.
During the meeting the chamber
voted to invite representatives of
the Marion county court, Bureau of
Land Management and the Forest
Service at a meeting to see if some­
thing cannot be done about better
roads up the Little Northfork. Let­
ters from Senators Morse and Neu­
berger were read on the road situa­
tion. They stated this had to be done
on a local level.
George Laird, of the industries
committee spoke briefly on the neces­
sity of a survey of the canyon. G. B.
Frost of Gates was appointed to
contact Henry TenPas at Oregon
State college for further plans on a
survey.
Jerry Coffman reported on the
rumor that Salmon Falls on the
Little Northfork would be blasted
out to make a fish ladder. He stated
that this was not true, but that a
fish ladder may be constructed up the
side of the falls, in a manner that
would not detract from its scenic
value.
Gale Christensen and George Laird
were appointed as Chamber repre­
sentatives on the Santiam Bean Fes­
tival committee.
G. R. Proby of Bend, was intro­
duced and he spoke briefly on pub­
licizing the North Santiam area.
Following the meeting, pie and
coffee were served.
