Senators Issue Timber Report
IJOIIHCtd the completion of a spe-
cial review of National Forest
timl)er sales, whicl shows:
1. Thal in the Pacific North-
Wesl more than one billion board
feet; in planned t:imbel' sales are
beiru.r delayed for lack of access
roads and rigtt-of-way; and
2. That a comparative handftfl
of 52 large firnls hold 70 per cent
of b'orest Service timber under
contract in the region.
The report, prepared by tim Sen-
ate Interior and Insular Affairs
Conmfittee at the request of the
tWO scnalors and then Congress-
man-at-large Don Magnuson, is
being printed and will be available
for Imhlic distribution within the
n(xl fev’ weeks.
The thrce Washington State
Democrats had pressed for the
special study as a result of numer-
ous complaints from the industry
S.natm.s VVarren (i. Magnuson -- especially from small loggers
mid lhmry M. Jackson today an- and mill operators .... concerning
I range-
in recent
Forest Service sales and manage-
ment policies.
Jackson said that
years the Forest Service sales pro-
gram has been hampered by inade-
quate budget ,(,quests from the
Administrati(m, lack of a clear
right-(if-way policy, and reliance
on outdated sales procedures.
He and Senator Magnuson said
the report points out the need for
hmg-range timber management
and forest development goals to
aid in preparing anmml budgets
and in making appropriations.
Both senators agreed that the
Forest Service has made progress
in potting more timber on the
market. They suggested, however,
that it is time for a full review
of national forest programs to de-
termine what must be done to
achieve full development of forests
for all uses.
Former She/tonian Finds Alaskan
Life Exciting New Adventure
Holiday greetings to her many
Mason county friends tell an ab-
sorbing story of the life former
Sheltonian Ann Carr is leading
as a teacher in Dillingham, a
remote, off-shore island fishing
village in Alaska.
From her Yule letter the Jour-
nal quotes interesting comments
which tell the story of her ex-
periences since late last summer,
when she left here to accept her
new teaching assignment after
many years as a public school
tutor in Mason county:

Letters to Editor
Mason County Commissioners
Court House
Shelton, Washington
Gentlemen:
At today's meetin . of the Har-
sttne Isla, nd Women': Club. it was
most discouraging to hear that by
next spring and possibly sooner,
it would be necessary to have the
Harstine Ferry off the run for
repairs. This, notwishstanding the
fact that the ferry has been back
in operation only a few months
since it was off the mm for nearly
six weeks last spring--41 days,
to be exact.
At that time it was repaired
under, serious handicap and with
much delay and great difficulty,
due to inadequate facilities, on the
mainland side of Pickering Pass.
All these 41 days the hundreds
of property ovmrs who depend
on the ferry to get to and from
the Island for necessities as well
as those who come each weekend
to Improve their places, had only
a barge for transportation, which
barge takes only foot passengers
and no vehicles at all. Also, the
tana,
OUR IMMEDIATE landlord is
the foreman h,ft in charge of the
building project--he and his fam-
ily occupy three-flmrths of the top
floor. Somehow, there's still an-
other landlord lurking in the back-
ground--the 6th grade teacher who
is in the process of buying this
hOtel if all the lawsuits and litiga-
tions ean eventually be cleared up.
He's an optimistic and penny-con-
scious yonng fellow, out to make
his fortune before he's thirty.
SImt Thanksgiving vacation in
King Salmon with a terms, teaeh-
er from here. A delightful time.
She lives in a 40x8 foot trailer,
most modern in every aspect. Din-
ner with all the trimmings was
held in the CAA (Civil Aeronautics
Administration) clubhouse, 150 in
attendance. :Met so many people
connected with the weather bu-
reau.
All in all, it was a very pleasant
reprieve after three months in hi-
bernation. Here in Dillingham,
you go no place, there is no place
to go. So for diversion people
live out of each other's pockets.
Prices--cottage cheese 70’, eggs
$1.30 (airborne), coffee $1.25 lb.,
and bread 65’. Fresh ( ? ? ?) vege-
tables are available at prohibitive
prices but they soon cease to tempt
one's palate. What freshness pre-
vailed soon disappears despite re-
frigeration,
THE FISHING season last year
was the best in years, so a native
family makes $15,000 to $20,000,
But the year before was poor.
Debts must be paid off first, then
months of living it up follow. Two
shows every night, vying with one
another via loud speakers for a
half hour preceding show-time, the
raucous blasts blasting over the
entire village. And they go in
droves--good, bad, indifferent or
ancient shows, it makes no differ-
e/lee.
Firewater flows freely. By the
time next fishing season has rolled
arotmd the majority are living on
welfare, which they get (and ex-
pect). The advent of the white
man has changed things very lit-
tle. Five churches have done little
to develop civic pride . . . individ-
ual garbage dumps abound, litter
of candy and chewing gum wrap-
pers and other debris greets the
newcomer and a sewer treks its
merry way down the main road.

the snows come . . . things are
