Recreation
Areas Slated
' Recreation is a major concern
m foresters on the Klamath Dis
trict of the Rocue River National
aTorest. 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.
Offer Refuted
By Wallace

Wiley Smith.

; j Dai Hay, Wallace's campaign

l tmderstanding. Hay said he and
Roberts were discussing candi
O dates getting out of the race.
i f'Roberts suggested that Wallace
i . should get out and I said Mat was

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.
