A nursery will be provided for childen tinder 4 years of age. mas tree production. Conservation is the keynote of this program where tree stands are improved through thinning and pruning of the trees. The SP will use a care fully developed system of harvest ing that produces a continuing growth of trees from one stump. The local program is headed by Richard Sias of Mount Shasta, Shasta district forester for South ern Pacific. The trees are cut and sold throuch contracts with private harvesters. Sias and his staff of six foresters, all making headquarters in Mount Shasta the year around, have supervised the cutting of about 18,000 trees in the last four weeks. This is about the same number as were harvested last year and I hey arc primarily the popular red fir. commonly known as silvertin The rugged terrain northeast of Mt. Shasta was the major cut ling area this year, Sias explained ltee cutting normally begins in early October and ends during the first week in .December. Delays were experienced this year be. cause, contrary to public opinion, Indian summer weather is no boon to the Christmas tree cutter. Trees cannot be harvested before frost has slowed the flow of sap. Cool, moist weather conditions are ideal but intense cold makes the tree brittle and subject to breakage damage. An early winter snow barring the cutters from the high er slopes cancels carefully laid plans for a quick, orderly harvest. Advance preparation for the tree harvesting begins in the summer when the mountain slopes are cruised, trees located, roads built. contracts let and equipment lined up. Sias said. After that you cross your fingers and put in an order for intermittent rain alternating with clear, cool weather, he con cluded. Sins and his staff must he par ticularly alert this time of year to detect illegal culling of Christ mas trees. Such unauthorized cut ling can wreck conservation and management plans for years to come ana cut financial returns heavily. As a result of this form of de predation of land and trees, the forest land owners (federal, state and private holdings) have coop erative patrols in Shasta and Sis. kiyou counties during the tree har vesting period to guard against un lawful culling. I his type of patrol has proven very effective in the Sierra. Sias explained. After the harvest, cut trees are stored by the harvesters in con centration yards and after grad ing are subsequently shipped to iclailers throughout the United States. The hulk of the trees from the Shasta-Siskiyou SP lands go to markets in northern and cen tral California. One of the major purchasers of this year s cuttings was the G. R Kirk Company of Tacoma. Wash ington. who manage a Christmas tree empire that stretches from coast to coast. Some of the SP trees may he among the Kirk shipments to Hawaii and the armed service posts In the Pacific. The Matson lines ship 120.000 to 125. 000 trees to Hawaii in two cargo shipments out of Portland, under Kirk s supervision. Southern Pacific's Interest In the trees continues after they leave Ihe slopes. Short term leases are granted for storing, wholesaling and retailing trees on any SP land available along rights of way and in yard installations in the cities, Last year 148 carloads of trees were processed in San francisco, 87 of these were rerouted to oth er areas. Eighteen thousand trees are shipped in a 50-foot freight car. In summing up Southern Pacif ic's role in Christmas tree produc tion, Frandsen slated the Christ mas tree farming program was un dertaken by SP in the belief that large areas of otherwise marginal commercial forest lands can he made productive. Increase in Ihe area's economic stability under SP s sustained yield forestry pro gram is a major objective. Langell Bridge Contract Let The State Highway Department awarded a contract Friday for a two-lane concrete bridge over Lost River in Langell Valley.

AP) An eight-man party of American trail-blazers moved three miles across the Ross Ice Shelf Friday as much like a man on tiptoes as their tons of equipment would permit. The party of Army Maj. Merle Dawson .is menaced by crevasses on its trip from Little America to the U.S. base at McMurdo Sound. Dawson figures another three to five miles might get him out of the crevasse area, a Navy officer Lt. Cmdr. Jerry Barlow added that with luck the party misht be at McMurdo Sound by Saturday or aunaay. -nut it could take a week, Barlow said. Barlow is the executive officer of Air Development Sauadron which flies several daily loads of tuel and dynamite to Dawson. The dynamite is used to blast down snow bridges across crevasses lo cated by electronic detectors. The party then pushes snow into the notes so It can cross the pock A letter to the board from the ets in the ice formed by glacial county superintendent of schools, movements. Barlow estimated Growers Meet For Reports TITELAKE The annual meet ing of Tulelake Growers Associa tion will be held at the Sportsman Hotel at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9. accordini! to Earl Schultz, president. The audit and financial report will be presented by Webb Bowen. TGA auditor. The president will conduct a round table discussion to determine projects for 1959. W. E. "Eddie" Roberts, revealed to the board that withdrawal plans, if not held off until financ ing is completed, would delay the construction program. It has already been decided by Ihe Yreka Chamber of Commerce education committee, who were sponsoring the withdrawal move, not lo file a petition for election on the secession until after the bonds are sold and the state funds assured. The supervisors backed building of a dam at Box Canyon on the Sacramento River, three miles west ot Mount Shasta, and re quested that funds be apportioned in the 1958-60 budget for engineer ing. The estimated cost of the project, according to Supervisor w. a. Barr. is two million dollars, which would include flood control and creation of a 40,000 acre foot recreation lake. County Road Commissioner Al Powers notified the board at the December 2 meeting that grading on the West Side Road between Callahan and Cedar Gulch has been completed, and surfacing has been planned for next year. The supervisors also adopted a resolution requesting an inspection of all county schools by the state fire marshal for safety. This is the outcome of the tragic fire recent ly in Chicago. Supervisor W. C. Early introduced the resolution with the statement that he did not want to see the same thing hap pen in Siskiyou County.

Man-caused fires were: 1958, nine: 1957, 13; and a five year average of nine per year.' The man-caused fires for 1958 were listed as hunters, four; lum bering, three; children playing with matches, one, and dumping of hot ashes, one. that 50 crevasses had been found in two days The party left Little America 21 days ago to mark a 480-mile trial for the evacuation of that outpost Barlow said Dawson doubts that the heavy equipment at Little America can be moved over his trail. Little America is being abandoned because the ice shelf on which it sits is expected to break off. Obituaries BURKHARO William Godfrey Burkhard. 84. a resident of this city, died here De cember 6.
