United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service North Pacific District S R-6 Timber Surveys, Malheur Malheur River Project January 7, 1931 The Forester, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The Forest Supervisor’s copy of the descriptive report covering this project, dated May 24, 1928, was loaned to prof. Matthews, of the Forest School of the University of Michigan, in the fall of 1928, to be used by Junior Forester Hulett, who was then working for his Master’s degree. This report was lost. Prof. Matthews has now offered to copy the report for us, but before asking him to undertake it I am writing to inquire whether you have use for the report, or whether your copy might be returned to us for the use of the Supervisor. The report contains a large number of detailed tabulations which make it a very heavy job of stenographic work and I am rather reluctant to accept Prof. Matthews’ offer unless it is necessary. Very truly yours, C. J. BUCK, Regional Forester By J Kavanagh Acting.

December 15, 1928 The Forester, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: You may recall that in 1927 we did not quite complete the field work of the Malheur River timber survey project, which is a cooperative project with the Eastern Oregon land Company and correlated with grazing reconnaissance. The project has been completed in 1928, covering a somewhat greater area than we had anticipated. We believe it is most practicable to combine the data from the two seasons’ work in a single report, and I am enclosing, herewith, a set of numbered sheets for your copy of the report. The duplicate pages in your present report should be removed and the new sheets inserted in their proper places. There is also enclosed for inclusion in the report a one-quarter inch scale map showing the area covered in 1928. As indicated on the supplemental sheet, page 107, a single cost report covering the 1927 and 1928 work is now being prepared and a copy will be mailed to you as soon as completed. Very truy yours. C. M. GRANGER, District Forester. Enclosures.

The Forester, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Your letter of September 24 is received. The cost report pertaining to this project has not been prepared. The data concerning the costs for the work done last season are now available but have not been compiled in condensed form for the reason that we wish to combine these costs with those incurred this season while completing project. Under this procedure the cost report for the completed project will be available soon after the office compilations for the 26,000 acres covered this season are finished. This work should be finished about the end of the present calendar year and the revised descriptive and cost reports will be sent you soon after. However, should you desire a separate report for the work done last season, it will be prepared as soon as possible upon receipt of your request. Very truly yours, C. M. GRANGER, District Forester.

Memorandum for Forest Management Compilations resulting from the grazing reconnaissance of the area included in this project by Assistant Range Examiner F. G. Renner, indicate that cumulative errors amounting in all to 5.82 acres occur in the acreage of forest types tabulations for the Eastern Oregon Land Company’s land, as shown in the timber survey Descriptive Report pertaining to this project. It is believed not justifiable to make these corrections in the typed tabulations, and that if a reference mark be plce at the points mentioned later the corrections may readily be made should occasion arise: Reference: The Descriptive Report, Malheur River Timber survey project, dated may 24, 1928, by Fred A.
