Wilson ) Executive Committee Vivian H. Yergen ) I trust that I have preparedmy letter so that it will not have to be re-typed. Thanks so much for your friendly letter. I know how much work TIMBER-LINES takes andyou surely deserve an extra star- in-your-crown. If there is anything further that Ican do to help, write me again and I'll do my best. We seem to keep on a dead-run most of thetime but it's fun. The Olpins and Harry and Iare leaving Tuesday for a three-week trip to the south. Since it's raining here now, we'll geta little sunshine down there. RETA V. EGGERS 2750 NW Eastway Court Portland, OR 07005 A WORD FROM YOUR EDITOR This again has been an interesting arid enjoyable job.The manr inter.- esting articles, describing early events, and mentioningnames of those who have passed on, brings back treasured memories of the past. I appreciate the work done by those whowere requested to prepare obit- uaries, In every case, a real effort was made to obtain a complete write-up, as a tribute to those members who have passed on, after devo. ting most of their life to the Forest Ser'vLce. Those selected to d, the obits have added much to the purpose ofTimber-Ines. "Jmty" T.i 11 igren again donated her time to do the typing Most of the articles received were given to her. This has been a volunteer effort, for both of us doing it when other demandsonour time were not pres- sing. We have proof read all of the material.Please forgive usfor any over-looked errors, This year I asked tw-o wives of forest officers to write of their expel'.. iencesingetting started in the Forest Service. Alice Mae Poirier and Lillian Olson had unique experiences. I hope you. find their articles interesting. There are other wives with similar experiences the readers agree these are desirable articles for Timber-Lines, we can in- clude similar articles in future issues, A special thanks isinorder for Gerald Tucker and GeorgeJackson.They have contributed articles in this, and past issues, of early dAy cperi.. ences some historical articles,nd other interesting remarks.Ke it up fellows. You may inspire other old timers to write similar ac- countsof their early days in the Forest Service. And of course Larry Olpin has been a big help in getting this issue put to bed. He has sent material as soon as he received it and given much encouragementto us struggling to get the job done on time. Thanks a million Larry.Your encouraging words are appreciated. A few articles, especially long poems, were held out for fills in case we needed them. I told Larry that this issue would be about 100 pages. Sorry we ran over so much, Larry, but the articles we received were too interesting to leave out. Those held out can be used in later editions. And lastly - just to clear upsome confusion.I am amale person. Not Ms or Mrs., or Miss Just wanted to letsomefolks know. If this issue serves as a reminder of the past, brings back treasured memories, and serves as a tribute to those who have passed on, then the efforts to get it ready for publication have been well rewarded. Carroll E. Brown Editor iv GREETINGS FROM OUR CLUB PRESIDENT March 6, 1977 Dear Friends, It is with a feeling of pride and increasedaffection for you that I end my year as your firstwoman president of the Thirty Year Club. Greeting old friends is somethingwe all enjoy -- whether it be by a handshake at the annual picnic, thespring dinner, the monthly luncheons, or by writtennotes in the Newsletter. My hope is that the activities of thepast year have brought us closer together as friends and pronptedniore to participate. While the past year has not producedany dramatic changes in the club, we have achievednew highs in tnernbership and in membership attendance at the luncheonsand the picnic. Surely these are the ingredientsnecessary for the success of any organization such as ours. Serving as your club president has madethe year very special to me. My thanks to all the committee memberswho have so willingly served when asked and sharedour efforts to knit the organization closer together. RETA V. EGGERS 2750 NW Eastway Court Beaverton, Oregon 97005 1iU3ERS OF THE FORT SERVICE FA11ILY Dear Friends: April 28, 1977 It's again a pleasure to update you members of the 30-year clubon the state of the Forest Service. Cie thing never seems to change in the Federal Government-.- the flurry of activity arid new legislation as a new Administration arid Congress settle into the business of running the country.The Carter Adminis- tration arid the 95th Congress are no exceptions.In tact, if anything, thereeven more activity than usual.Natural resources are continu- ing to receive more and more attention, Congress has not even had a chance to fully review the Program and Asses- ament suthiitted in 1976 under the Resources Planning Act, and a.lreacrwe are preparing the documents for 1980.The extra workload has had a tre mendous inpact on the agency, but if prospects for true long-range plan- ning and the needed invesnents materializeas we hope, the results will be well worth the effort, The 9Lth Congress also gave us sane very good legislation in the National Forest iIanagement Act.The many groups and interests which struggled to- gether for this legislation have achieved an end product thatseemsto satisfy almost everyone--an amazing feat considering the conflictsover use of natural resources The land management planning opportunities under this law are especially exciting.You'll hear more of them later, It looks as though a major legislative front in the 95th Congress will be the Alaska d-2 lands The first hearings of this Congress, and the bills introduced, suggest that the issue isa long way from being set- led.Already some entirely new proposals are surfacing.

  • Conifer Pruning EB1984
    EB1984 Donald P. Hanley, Ph.D. Stephen Reutebuch, M.S. Conifer Pruning Conifer pruning is the practice of removing the lower branches from live green conifer trees. Without pruning, the lower branches on conifers, such as Douglas-fir, western larch, and ponderosa pine, may persist for up to 80 years. The primary objective of pruning for wood quality improvement is to produce a small, uniform knotty core throughout the length of the pruned bole so that clear wood volume will be maximized. Achieving this objective may result in increased financial returns to the landowner when the trees are harvested. There are many other benefits from pruning, even if clear wood production or financial concerns are of secondary importance. These include: • Increased understory vegetation for wildlife. As young stands are thinned and the dominant and co-dominant trees are pruned, more light will reach the forest floor, resulting in increased grass, herb, and shrub vegetation over time. This new vegetation often attracts wildlife as forage, browse, and hiding cover. • Reduced fuel ladders. A “fuel-ladder” is the pathway that a fire can travel from the forest floor up to the tree canopy. Unpruned trees in unthinned stands have many low branches that can increase the probability of a fire getting into the tree crowns. Once the fire is in the crown, the likelihood of tree death is high and the probability of rapid fire spread increases. • Reduced incidence of disease. For some diseases, such as the introduced blister rust in white pine, pruning is a primary weapon in reducing the disease spread as blister rust fungi enters the tree through its needles near the ground.

The assessment was prepared under the requirements and guidance of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act and the US Environmental Protection Agency, as well as a detailed Source Water Assessment Plan developed by a statewide citizen's advisory committee here in Oregon over the past two years. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) are conducting the assessments for all public water systems in Oregon. The purpose is to provide information so that the public water system staff/operator, consumers, and community citizens can begin developing strategies to protect your source of drinking water. There are eight other drinking water intakes for public water systems also located on the South Umpqua River or its tributaries upstream of the Myrtle Creek intake. Other upstream intakes include the intakes for Tri-City Water District, Milo Academy, Tiller Elementary School and USPS Tiller Ranger Station (on the South Umpqua River), City of Canyonville (on Canyon Creek), and Lawson Acres Water Association, City of Riddle, and City of Glendale (on Cow Creek).

  • History of the National Forest
    HISTORY OF THE FREMONT NATIONAL FOREST O Melva M. Bach. O Fremont National Forest Lakeview, Oregon 1981 CAPTAtN JOHN C. FRENONT FOREWORD Gifford Pinchot once said, "The Forest Service is the best organization in the government because of the people in it". In my opinion, the out-door-loving S persons who choose their life work in the Forest Service and other conservation agencies are among the greatest Perhaps this is because these devoted people are more interested in helping to wisely use and perpetuate our natural resources rather than to exploit them. The8emen and women employees of the Forest Service are loyal, dedicated, and hard-working persons They work many hours of unpaid overtime to get the job done They are unselfish, giving a great deal of their own time and effort to community activities, such as the Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, 4-s, United Fund, Rotary, Lions, and other service organizations. The wives of these men are exceptional and fine women who do their part in community af fairs They snow that housing and living conditions in the Forest Service are sometimes undesirable and in isolated places, but they cheerfully accept them It has been very pleasant working for and with the great number of persons who have been on this forest I have appreciated this lengthy opportunity to know and make friends with some very fine people, and thank them for their help and pleasant associations One reason for this long opportunity was a letter I received from MrShirley Buck of the Regional Office when I started to work in Lakeview e said "It is hoped you will stay a considerable length of time" I thought he meant it.
