Seedlings for Special School and Roadride

ForestPlanting Projects

Seattle, Washington, November 10, 194,+-A half-million seedlings of Port Orford cedar and Douglas fir from the stock of the Forest Industries Tree Nursery at Nisqually, Washington, have been earmarked for free supply to special school and roadside forest planting projects, the West Coast Lumbermen's Association has announced.

The industrial forest land owners of Oregon and Washington who are cooperating in the nursery are going ahead in their third year of a program of planting unstocked areas of private timberlands, the announcement stated. Labor shortage in the woods is restricting the program, it was said, thus making a supply of advanced seedlings available for some non-industrial plantings.

"ft is planned to continue the Oregon planting project begun last winter, along the Wolf Creek highway from Portland to the Coast," Association foresters stated. "fn addition, the plan is to extend Oregon roadside plantings to the Wilson Creek highway. Each of these major roads runs through 1933 lands ravaged in 1933 by the Tillamook and other.severe fires. Salvage logging has harvested a great share of the fire-killed timber, and natural reforestation is widespread. Succeeding roadside burns, however, have left blackened highway views. The lumber industry is working with state agencies to make the burns green again, for future years of tourist traffic.

"T,here are other roadside areas in both Oregon and Washington where forest plantings would benefit nearby communities in the return of tourist trade. The West Coast Lumbermen's Association is ofiering cooperation with schools or other responsible local groups in plans for growing roadside screens or parkways of forest trees."

Scv-A-Space Sliding Doors

A recent vacation trip enjoyed by Tom Ross and Harry Terrell of The Ross-Terrell Co., Grants Pass, Oregon, was the famous boat trip down the Rogue River from Grants Pass to the sea, a distance of about 135 miles. The journey takes five days. It provides a lot of variety, which includes shooting the rapids, hunting, fishing, and the swift passage of Mule Creek Canyon, where for nearly three miles the Rogue narrows down to a width of only nine feet between sheer walls of rocks.

Three overnight stops are made. Accommodations and meals are good, also the hunting and fishing.

Tom Ross says it is a delightful trip, and recommends it as thrilling and not too dangerous in the capable hands of the boatman who has handled his craft on this tour for the past 8 years, Glenn Woolridge, of Grant Pass.
