SUNDAY, JANUARY 1, 1956 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAGE THREE O&C Domain Withdrawal Plans Set Virgil T. Heath, state supervisor for the Bureau of Land Manage mens, has announced the Intentions of the bureau to withdraw for rec reational purposes approximately 5,500 acres of O Si c and public domain lands within one-half mile of the Rogue River between Pros pect and Agness a distance of nearly 120 miles. A few tracts along the Applegate River below the Star Ranger Station are also Included. . The purpose of the' proposed withdrawal is to ban mining claims and other forms of entry under the public land laws except the lease and sale of public domain lands under the terms of the Recreation Act of June 14, 1926. E. K. Peter son, the BLM District Forester at Medford, stated that present plans are to leave most of the river irontage between the mouth of Grave Creek in Josephine County and Illahee in Curry County in a wild and primitive state with ac cess only by boat or trail. This sec tion of the river is bordered by land now almost exclusively under federal ownership. Above Grave Creek, however, scattered tracts of federal land along the river are intermlnsrled with private lands. These BLM lands will In appropri ate instances be made available for public camp grounds, public river access sites and homesite leases to individuals. In previous years some sites below Grants Pass have been made available to Josephine County for development and several sites along the upper Rogue between Bybee bridge and Prospect have been made availa ble to the State Highway Commis sion and are now developed State parks. The proposed withdrawal will not prevent timber manage ment activities that can be con ducted without damage to the rec reatlonal values. For 28 years or more most of the federal lands along the Rogue River have been withdrawn for power site purposes. Such a with drawal prevented the valid loca tion of mining claims. In April, 1955 the Bureau of Land Manage- ment took additional action to pre serve the lands within one-half mile of the Rogue River for rec reational use by filing an applica tion for recreational reservation with the Oregon Land Office. Despite the passage of a Con gressional Act in August, 1955 -which re-opened power site lands to mineral entry, the April, 1955 action by the bureau has effective ly preserved the Rogue River lands for recreational purposes pending a final determination on the matter bp the secretary of the interior. Similar action has been taken to protect National Forest lands in the same strip along the ;: Rogue River. The recommenda tion for the Rogue River recrea " tional withdrawal was made initial ly by the BLM Medford District Advisory Board several years ago. Since that time it has been in cluded in the recommendations of the National Park Service for rec reational development of the Rogue River Basin. Notice of the proposed withdraw al was published in the Federal Register on December 22, 1955. For a period of 30 days from that date, persons having cause may present their objections In writing to the state supervlser of the Bureau of Land 'Management. If circum stances warrant, a public hearing will then be scheduled at a con venient time and place. Detailed descriptions are posted in the county courthouses in Grants Pass ' and Medford and in the BLM dis trict offices in Coos Bay and Medford. 1 tit .rxm..
