Local Forest Service per sonnel will begin a field study for the recreation planning phase of 4he forest service's new system - af land use planning. Separate stud its will be made to locate the areas best suited to each type of iOe timber, grazing, recreation, watershed protection, mineral re sources, fish and game. S When these have been completed, Ihe areas for each type of re source will be plotted on a map, . and overlapping usesv will be Studied so that priority can be . given for each portion of the rang Sr district. 1 The final step in this planning is to prepare a map showing the pri mary use to be alloted to every part of the ranger district. Of course all phases of resource man agement will be carried out on each area. The purpose of this priority system is to allot primary : Uses, but not exclusive use, to portions of the district. : Planning of this type, which is being conducted throughout Ore gon and Washington by the forest service will enable foresters to do a more efficient job of managing our National Forests to produce tig maximum return to the people.

This picture shows the dam spilling on April 12, the first time sinca the dam was built in 1925. Gerber is ona of the several reservoirs playing its part in the vital conservation or irrigation fend stock water in the Klamath Basin. USBR Photo Conservation: ' No "Law" On Porcupines In Oregon; No Forest Thinning Benefit Seen There is no law protecting por- cupines in Oregon. There is no truth in the statement that they are protected because a lost and hun gry hunter might he able to eat one and so save his life. It is a misstatement that the rodent throws its quills and a mistaken idea that it improves the forest by thinning. These are findings of the forestry department at Weyer hacuser's Klamath Falls Branch. Any forest thinning on the part of the porcupine is a haphazard process which in Klamath County creates more economic loss than forest fires and disease combined. Foresters explain that the por cupine chewing the bark in a ring around a young tree to get at the cambium layer or life line, cither will kilt the tree or deform it so ceptible to disease. it has no commercial value. Ring ing older trees makes them sus- Recognizing the loss to Klamath County, the county court has set aside 56,000 for bounties to be paid out at the rate of 50 cents for each porcupine nose. The bounty is usually paid to younger people who take the trouble to stage porcupine nunis. coggers and olher woods men destroy the animal as they come across them, for they know they not only destroy trees but hoses and tires on logging equip ment. They know too, that the porcupine nibbling In rancher's fields destroy cattle. A nose or mouthful of quills keep cattle from eating, and a punctured stomach is fatal. A strong blow on the head just back of the nose delivered with a shovel or strong stick is one answer to this problem. Conservation In Manpower No less important than material conservation is that of manpower. Safe working conditions and work ers who work safely combine to make the Weyerhaeuser mill at Klamath Falls the world's safest. In 1957 there were few lost time accidents only 2.06 for every mil lion man-hours worked. Even this was an improvement over 1955 and 1956. also years in which the Na tional Safety Council's Award of Honor was gained. The woods too came in for hon ors. Logging has become safer, and therefore more attractive to safe workers as an occupation. Last year there were 23.45 acci dents for every million man-hours worked. This is considerably bet ter than the previous year's figure of 38.85. Firemen Halt CPR Strike MONTREAL Mv-A three - day strike ot firemen against the Ca nadian Pacific Railway ended ear ly today following agreement on a plan for gradual removal of fire-1 men from all yard and freight diesel engines of the line. It is es timated the process will take 17 years. The agreement was expected to set a pattern for U.S railroads which had been awaiting an out come of the Canadian dispute be fore moving to reduce their own diesel firemen. In the agreement signed at one minute before midnight, the Broth erhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen accepted the prin ciple of gradual removal by pro motion, retirement or death of ap proximately 2.900 firemen hired for yard and freight diesel work About 73 hired in the last two years will be given preference for new job with the CPR. They were laid off Sunday as the railroad began freight and yard diesel op erations without them, touching off the strike. The strike only partially Inter rupted CPR service because only in the far western provinces did the other railroad brotherhoods honor picket lines. The agreement left unsettled ne gotiations for a new contract to replace one expiring May 31. Ear lier negotiations broke down over the diesel issue. The union also had demanded an 18 per cent wage increase and other benefits By KLAMATH PROJECT OFFICE, BUREAU OF RECLAMATION Reservoirs in Ihe Klamath area were very effective this spring in reducing heavy runoff so that little damage resulted below the dams. Without such control the damage could have been severe, as ru-.jff from the watersheds dur ing late February and early March was extremely high. During February, Inflows to the three reservoirs of the Klamath Project were as follows: Upper Kamath Lake, 275 -per cent of normal; Clear Lake, 460 per cent ot normal; and Gerber, 740 per cent of normal. At the peak, inflow to Gerber probably occurred at a rate of 2,000 cfs (cubic feet per second), wheras the controlled outflow was limited to a maximum of 900 cfs. Due to the large storage capac ity in relation to inflow, releases of water from Clear Lake has nev er been necessary during months of flood runof'. Outflow from Up per Klamath Lake was limited to maximum of about 6.400 cfs even though inflow probably oc curred at a rate in excess of 10,- 000 cfs. Well after the flood period had passed Gerber Reservoir was al lowed to fill completely and jon April 12, for the first time since the dam was built in 1925, water was flowing over the crest of the pillway. Total flood runoff this season has been considerably below that of ihe record-breaking season of 1955- .-6, but it will rank among the lew nignest of over 50 years of record. It is interesting to note that dur ing six of the past seven years, beginning in the fall of 1951. net inflow to Lpper Klamath Lake has greatly exceeded the average of record. In five of these seven years the total quantity was al most two million acre-feet each year. Such runoff occurred onlv twice in tne previous 47 years of record. Precipitation and runoff during tnis recent seven-year wet pe riod in comparison with average conditions is shown graphically on the accompanying charts. In contrast to the above, during the seven-year period, 1929 to 1935. net inflow to Upper Klamath Lake averaged less than 40 per cent of two million acre-feet. Our dependable supply of water is not nearly as much as that which we have observed during re cent years. Portland Expects Swedish Prince PORTLAND tl Portland li to entertain royalty Wednesday.
