(Here'll Special Service)
V ASHINGTON, D. C.. March 30.—
An executive order juet promulgated
has resulted In an elimination oi
lands from national forest areas In
Oregon
Thia readjustment of boundaries
has resulted In a total reduction cf
gross areas on the Paulina and Dee-
chutes national foresta of about 400,-
000 acres. A considerable portion of
the eliminated lands Is on pumice
land of low fertility, and little value
for present or future forest purposes.
A portion Is located near the Des
chutes River, and already compriesa
a large percentage of private lands,
and Includes two towns. These elim
inations are a part of the work of
boundary examinations Initiated five
or six years ago, which Is resulting In
Axing, after careful survey, the defi
nite boundaries of those lands which
should remain permanently In for
esta.
The present eliminations are made
because the land la not required for
forest purpose* or for the protection
of watersheds. The lands have con
siderable graving value, but only a
small portion Is suitable for agricul
ture under present conditions.
