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River have been withdrawn for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.

Up and down Main Street last week the big question was
this: "Does all this wind remind you of 'Western Kansas?"
The answer is, "Yes.. sin a way " It's true that the wind
is continually blowing baok there. But with it usually comes
fine dust a.. not fine snow like ve had last Thursday. Western
Kansas is considerably warmer beoause it is farther south and
almost as high as the Klamath Basin
Eaoh seotion of the country has its good points and its ,
- bad points as far as the weather goes... and when you get
right down to it. ..it's the people who live there that make
the difference. Oregonlans and Kansana are .much the same... ,
they're friendly and they're fairly prosperous.
Last week Main Street was almost as.orowded as it was '
before Christmas. . .people taking advantage of pre-inventory
sales. Next week you'll have a ohanoe to make even greater
savings during after-inventory sales. ,
.Down at Pete MEAD'S DRUG Store there's a big special on
right now on Colonial Dames Beauty Aids (not connected with
any society). The big half-pound Jar of colonial -Dames All
Purpose Cream that regularly sells for $2.50 is now on sale
for only $1.25 plus tax. This, famous cream not only pens
trates and oleanses 12-tlmes as effectively as ordinary ,
creams, but It is also enriched with vitamins A and D...to , ,
help -your skin actually look and feel years younger.
.Jf Also for a short time, Colonial Dames $1.50 Skin Presh-
ener is available for 'Just $1.00. plus tax. Eemember, it's
the $2.50 All Purpose Cream for $1.25 and the $1.50 Skin
Freshener for $1.00,' plus tax. Both by Colonial Dames. Get
