Friday, Richard Beesley. attor ney for Ralph David Huitt, 30, Beatly, moved to quash the con cealing stolen property indictment against his client on the grounds that there were unauthorized per sons present during grand jury proceedings.

State Forest Ranger A. Roy Bengard, Yreka, who is in charge of CDF activities in Siskiyou Coun ty, said a "mobile camp" and crews will arrive about Nov. 28. They will prepare the site on a barren field near the confluence of Clear Creek and MacAdams Creek for contractors who will begin building the camp as soon as weather permits next spring. A deep well for the camp's wa ter supply must be drilled, and the vanguard crews must level the site and dig utility and founda tion trenches. The crews will quarter in 17 huge trailer units that house com plete facilities for a small com munity. Thirty men will be served. The man who will run the camp when it is finished already has arrived. He is Project Supervisor Chuck Rolland, and he is looking for a home in Scott Valley. His assistant, Richard Stanley, who is in charge of the mobile camp that will be moved from a job at Nubieber, has moved to a home in Fort Jones. At least twoi of the eight foremen that will hartdle the inmates have moved to the valley. The state will let bids, probably in January, for camp construc tion. Any capable contractor is el igible to bid for the job. . Construction on the 140-acre site will cost an estimated $500,000, and the camp will contain about $300,000 worth of equipment. And it will be ready to go about next October. Since the prisoners are the most trustworthy the state has screened, the camp will contain no walls not even a fence. No rapists or killers or hardened criminals will work there. Experience with the stale's big network of such camps has shown that the rate of escape is so slight it is negligible, said Ben gard. The inmates are screened sev eral times before they are al- (25 MSHI KNOWNIHEADH tl TSPop f&) A T Jury Bailiff Mary DeLap was called to testify in support of Beesley's motion. She said she had stopped McMillin at the door to the room. She notified Crab, tree, who was in the jury room and he came out and got Mc Millin. Then, she said, they both went into the room. McMillin argued that the mo. tion was too late (after entry of a plea) and also that the grand jury is only in session when it is transacting business. He said Crabtree introduced him to the jury and then left the room. Judge Vandenberg continued the matter until 10 a.m. Monday. Prisoners lowed to work in a conservation camp. All have no more than a year of time to serve. Most have only a few months left, said Ben gard. The men who supervise them are specially trained and must pass civil service tests before Ihey are placed on the job. Each foreman will work with about 10 men. The biggest job the slate has planned for the inmates is con struction of a network of fire breaks in land protected by the CDF in Scott Valley. The men will clear wide ave nues through forest and brush land. They will clear litter on the forest floor, thin thickets and prune trees up to 20 feet from Ihe ground. The network will en close a series of forest plats, each containing from 5.000 lo 10.000 acres. No merchantable timber will be felled. Such a network gives firefight ers a great advantage in stop ping hot, running fires, said Ben gard. Secondary projects probably w ill include equipment painting, furni ture repair and cement fireplace construction. The fireplaces are used in state parks. Perishable foods will be bought locally when possible, Bengard said. In addition, local merchants will supply toilet aritcles and oth er personal effects that will be sold at a post exchange at the camp. In addition to the project super visor, his assistant and the fore men, the camp will, employ a heavy equipment operator. These men and their families all will obtain homes outside t h a camp., as close to the camp as possible. Presumably, that means most will live in or around Fort Jones, if housing is available there.
