Ref and Ex* U t . N«*»papen, ü of O Library The Mill City 97403 nterprise ON THE SCENIC NORTH S ANTI AM HIGHWAY — OREGON’S FAST GROWING VACATION WONDERLAND NUMBER 4 VOLUME XXII Up and Down The Avenue Ry Don Moffatt Saturday was visitation day at Mill City when our Linn State Representatives, Gerald Detering, accompanied by his wife, Marie, and Bill Gwinn met people who wish to dis cuss legislative matters which may be taken up at this ses sion. The meeting was held in The Enterprise office. State Senator Glen Huston had also planned to make his appear ance here, but other committ ments made this impossible. About a dozen citizens from the area were present. To my way of thinking this is how legislators should work. This is what I call real grassroots com munication with constituents. Both Deter ing and Gwinn are to be com plimented on their desire to find out what the people are thinking. They said they may slate another meeting here later in the year. This hassle between some of the people, the Forest Ser vice and the “conservation ists" is really hurting this North Santiam Area. When it was learned last week at a meeting of the North Santiam Chamber of Commerce that a moratorium had been placed on certain areas adjacent to the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness area, it stirred up a lot of com ment as it well should have. When the facts were sifted out it was learned that the moratorium would take some 11 per cent of the allowable cut of timber in the Mill City and Detroit districts. This is a sizable amount of timber. I visited one night with a r logger in this area and he said that to harvest the 10,900,000 board feet of timber would take the labors of about 20 men for a full year. Mind you, this is just for harvesting of the timber. This does not fi gure the hauling of the logs, the processing the trees into lumber ready for market. When you consider the mill men and others connected with the harvesting of this amount of timber, about 100 men would be affected. It will affect county government too, as the estimated sales value of this much timber would come to some $640,800, of which 25 per cent goes to the county. The moratorium was placed on this area, because of the large number of people who testified in favor of expanding the Wilderness area. Officials evidently did not take into consideration the fact that the hearings were packed with people in favor of the increase and many who make their liv ing from this timber never got a chance to testify. Those who are affected by “ty ing up” of timber land should and must get organized and put up a concerted effort to have this land released and kept out of the Wilderness area. An item taken from the Western Timber Industry was given to me this week. In it there was are article to the effect that the Sierra Club contributions will not be tax exempt by the Internal Re venue Service, because of the lobbying activities carried out by the club. The club was giv en 30 days to make an appeal before the ruling becomes fin al. The Sierra club claims to have lost $125.000 in contri butions since the IRS first an nounced that it would revoke the organization’s tax status. The Sierra club and other outdoor clubs no doubt do a lot of good, but I do feel that they are getting over ambi tious in tying up timber land. It is going on all over the country. Soon, unless it is brought to a halt, the conver- vationists will have all the land tied up. and there will be nothing left to be utilized by the general public. Weather, Detroit Dam Jan. Jon. Jan.
